A `Social Turn' in the European Union? - New trends and ideas about social convergence in Europe (Paperback): Jacek... A `Social Turn' in the European Union? - New trends and ideas about social convergence in Europe (Paperback)
Jacek Kubera, Tomasz Morozowski
R1,285 Discovery Miles 12 850 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Social Europe is a key topic in the construction of the EU and its institutions. This volume examines the current state of, and perspectives for, Social Europe, as well as key issues in European social policy, including the posting of workers, the impact of the free market and regulations on social convergence, work automation, digitalisation, taxation and democracy in the workplace. The aim of this volume is to identify a course to be followed in integrating the EU's social policies and point to areas in which co-operation between member states is likely to produce best results. While a Social Europe was previously seen to be a natural consequence of political and economic integration, it is now viewed as a separate area that requires active policies to preserve the European project. The EU's big question today concerns the level at which this policy should be pursued: the volume's contributors outline difficulties with harmonising social policies across the Union, but they nevertheless argue that, owing to the common challenges faced by Europe, the idea of a Social Europe must not be abandoned and requires specific action. The volume consists of 11 chapters written by a variety of expert authors, analysing the idea of a Social Europe and proposing ways in which it could be put into practice. Social policy can no longer be seen as derived from economic policy but rather as a separate driver of development that could be of interest to the northern, southern and eastern states of the EU. Jacek Kubera, PhD, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Sociology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan. Tomasz Morozowski, PhD candidate, Faculty of Political Science and Journalism, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, and analyst at the Poznan Institute for Western Affairs.

Identifications of French People of Algerian Origin (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Jacek Kubera Identifications of French People of Algerian Origin (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Jacek Kubera
R2,920 Discovery Miles 29 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is an innovative presentation of the way in which the descendants of Muslim immigrants from Algeria in France perceive and deal with multiple social identifications. Against the background of the theory and methodology (such as Saussure's sign theory, Znaniecki's sociology, and Brubaker and Cooper's concepts), Kubera offers a new analysis into identity in a multicultural society. The book revolves around a combination of the modernist and post-modernist paradigms: highlighting both the constant and situational aspects of social identity. By focusing on identifications, the author shows how to overcome the problem of "intangibility" of identity in research practice. Touching on colonialism, gender, religion, migration, and racism, this will be an important contribution to students and scholars across sociology, anthropology, political science, law, and international relations.

Jacek Kubera, Lukasz Skoczylas
R1,741 Discovery Miles 17 410 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book presents contributions from migration sociologists inspired by Florian Znaniecki's theory and the results of his studies to conduct their own research in countries like Austria, China, Greece and Poland. The authors evaluate today's migration phenomena with reference to a coherent theoretical system. The book can be used as a manual presenting the tools for examining the migration experience from many angles: a sense of national identity (ethnic and civic), family ties, the importance of the social environment in the process of an individual's integration with the society or an evolution of entire social systems within which the migrants operate.
