This book explores the foundations and potential of a theory of
need-based distributive justice, supported by experimental
evidence. The core idea is that need-based distributive justice may
have some legitimatory advantages over other important principles
of distribution, like equality and equity, and therefore involves
less dispute over the distribution and redistribution of scarce
resources. In seven chapters, eleven scholars from the fields of
philosophy, psychology, sociology, political science and economics
outline the normative and positive building blocks of such a theory
by critically reviewing the literature on distributive justice from
their respective disciplinary perspectives. They address important
theoretical and practical issues concerning the rationality of
needs identification at the individual level and the recognition of
needs at the societal level. They also investigate whether and how
the dynamics of distribution procedures that allocate resources
according to the need principle leads to social stability, focusing
on the economic incentives that arise from need-based
redistribution. The final chapter provides a synthesis and outlines
a framework for a theory of justice based on ten hypotheses derived
from the insights presented.
This book explores the extent to which a transformation of public
employment regimes has taken place in four Western countries, and
the factors influencing the pathways of reform. It demonstrates how
public employment regimes have unravelled in different domains of
public service, contesting the idea that the state remains a
'model' employer.
European countries have faced profound changes in family structures
and family forms over the last few decades. This volume provides
insights from eleven European countries with varying welfare state
arrangements, exploring the extent to which the intergenerational
transmission of attitudes, resources and values matter with regard
to the economic self-sufficiency of young people. Drawing on
in-depth interviews with three generations of family members, the
contributors show how intergenerational transmission happens and
what the effects of these transmission processes are. The book
reveals that family members serve as role models to younger family
members and influence their career and educational aspirations, and
that there are specific family value orientations and parental
approaches which support economic self-sufficiency in younger
generations. Intergenerational Transmission of Economic
Self-Sufficiency will be of interest to students and scholars
across a range of disciplines including social work, sociology,
psychology and political sociology.

Die Studie untersucht den Zusammenhang von Sprachverwendung,
sozialer Positionierung und kollektiver Identitatsbildung in
Weissrussland hinsichtlich des Weissrussischen, Russischen und der
weissrussisch-russisch gemischten Rede (Trasjanka). Die
soziodemographische und oekonomische Struktur der drei "Kodes" wird
mittels Umfrage und Interviews bei drei Generationen erfasst. Die
Konstellation ist grundlegend diglossisch: Russisch herrscht im
oeffentlichen Raum, die Trasjanka viel starker als bisher
angenommen im privaten Bereich (besonders bei der alteren
Generation). Weissrussisch ist voellig marginalisiert. Fur die
spezifisch weissrussisch-kollektive Identitat, die durchaus
festzustellen ist, spielt keiner der Kodes eine nennenswerte Rolle,
bestenfalls das Weissrussische auf symbolisch-musealer Ebene.
Der vorliegende Band umfasst eine grosse Bandbreite
theoretischer Beitrage und empirischer Anwendungen raumlicher
Modelle auf dem Gebiet der Politikwissenschaft. Raumliche Modelle
existieren in diesem Fachgebiet in unterschiedlicher Form und
verschiedenen Abstraktionsstufen. Haufig werden Politikraume
konstruiert, um die Positionen von Wahlern, Parteien und
Koalitionen in politischen Prozessen naher zu bestimmen. Wie solche
Modelle entstehen, auf welchen Grundlagen sie aufbauen und wie sie
auf aktuelle Ereignisse in der Politik angewandt werden konnen ist
Thema dieses Sammelbandes."
Der Band vermittelt Aktuelles und Grundlegendes zum Verstandnis
politischer OEkonomie. Didaktischer Leitgedanke ist der
Zusammenhang zwischen Politik und wirtschaftlicher
Leistungsfahigkeit in demokratisch verfassten OECD-Landern.
