Refugees, Civil Society and the State - European Experiences and Global Challenges (Hardcover): Ludger Pries Refugees, Civil Society and the State - European Experiences and Global Challenges (Hardcover)
Ludger Pries
R3,055 Discovery Miles 30 550 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Ludger Pries explores the important moral, social and political challenge facing Europe and the international community: the protection of refugees as one of the most vulnerable groups on the planet. Combining an in-depth analysis of current research, own empirical studies in several European countries, and a critical review of the policies of nation states as well as international and transnational organizations, the author analyses the 2015 so-called refugee crisis and its continuing impact. Who are the refugees, how and why did they come? Which parts of civil society were actively involved and why? What are the future responsibilities of the state for arriving refugees and their successful integration? This book examines the limitations of structural settings with perspectives on collective actors? behaviour and strategies. Offering a critical view on the historical embedding of the refugee issue, as well as the current and future challenges for Europe, Pries provides an insightful overview of all aspects of the so-called European refugee crisis and its aftermath. Refugees, Civil Society and the State merges perspectives from political science and international relations with international humanitarian law, the sociology of migration and action theory. Scholars, journalists and political actors who want to further understand the ongoing challenge of refugee protection will greatly benefit from the distinguished author?s research.

Rethinking Transnationalism - The Meso-link of organisations (Hardcover): Ludger Pries Rethinking Transnationalism - The Meso-link of organisations (Hardcover)
Ludger Pries
R4,443 Discovery Miles 44 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

During the last two decades transnationalism has become an important conceptual approach and research programme. However, the term has steadily become vague and indistinct underlining the need for conceptual precising as well as more defined empirical research. Rethinking Transnationalism does this in two ways. On one hand it presents theoretical contributions to the transnationalism approach and, on the other hand, it offers empirical studies in the field of the transnationalization of organizations. The book integrates outstanding international scholars of transnationalism and migration studies with specialists from a broad variety of disciplines that apply the transnationalism approach to different organizations such as NGOs, feminist networks, educational spaces and European Works Councils. Presenting an overview of transnationalism and the surrounding debates, this interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to students and scholars of Politics, International Relations, Sociology, Anthropology, Educational Sciences, Migration and Geography.

Comprising the study, documentation, and comparison of plant-level workers' participation around the world, this volume meets the challenge of offering a global perspective on workers' participation, representation, and models of social partnership. Value chains, economic life, inter-cultural exchange and knowledge, as well as the mobility of persons and ideas increasingly cross the borders of nation-states. In the knowledge age, the active participation of workers in organizations is crucially important for sustainable and long-term growth and innovation. This handbook offers lessons from historical, global accounts of workers' participation at plant level, even as it looks forward to predict forthcoming trends in participation.

R2,722 Discovery Miles 27 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume analyses civil society as an important factor in the European refugee regime. Based on empirical research, the chapters explore different aspects, structures and forms of civil society engagement during and after 2015. Various institutional, collective and individual activities are examined in order to better understand the related processes of refugees' movements, reception and integration. Several chapters also explore the historical development of the relationship between a range of actors involved in solidarity movements and care relationships with refugees across different member states. Through the combined analysis of macro-level state and European policies, meso-level organization's activities and micro-level individual behaviour, Refugee Protection and Civil Society in Europe presents a comprehensive exploration of the refugee regime in motion, and will be of interest to scholars and students researching migration, social movements, European institutions and social work.

During the 1930s, thousands of social scientists fled the Nazi regime or other totalitarian European regimes, mainly towards the Americas. The New School for Social Research (NSSR) in New York City and El Colegio de Mexico (Colmex) in Mexico City both were built based on receiving exiled academics from Europe. Comparing the first twenty years of these organizations, this book offers a deeper understanding of the corresponding institutional contexts and impacts of emigrated, exiled and refugeed academics. It analyses the ambiguities of scientists' situations between emigration, return-migration and transnational life projects and examines the corresponding dynamics of application, adaptation or amalgamation of (travelling) theories and methods these academics brought. Despite its institutional focus, it also deals with the broader context of forced migration of intellectuals and scientists in the second half of the last century in Europe and Latin America. In so doing, the book invites a deeper understanding of the challenges of forced migration for scholars in the 21st century.

In diesem Band bearbeiten Soziologinnen und Soziologen die Frage nach dem Verhaltnis von Vielfalt und Zusammenhalt im 21. Jahrhundert. Dabei werden aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln zum Teil stark variierende Antworten gegeben. Gemeinsamer Bezugspunkt ist dabei die soziologische Annahme, dass Vielfalt und Zusammenhalt nicht in einem prinzipiellen Gegensatz zueinander stehen. Vielmehr istalle sozial relevante Vielfalt immer auch gesellschaftlich, also durch sozialen Zusammenhalt hergestellte Vielfalt. Gegen unkritisch-pauschale optimistische oder pessimistische Beurteilungen zunehmender Vielfalt fur gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt werden spezifische Bedingungen herausgearbeitet, unter denen Vielfalt fur Einzelgruppen und Gesellschaften als Chance oder als Herausforderung zu sehen ist."

Ahnlich wie vor etwas mehr als einem Jahrzehnt die Begriffe "global" und "Globalisierung" scheinen heute die Termini "transnational" und "Transnationalisierung" zu viel gebrauchten Modebegriffen zu werden. Sollen damit alle grenzuberschreitenden sozialen Beziehungen bezeichnet werden und wird Transnationalisierung damit ein neuer Catch-All-Begriff? Oder ist mit Transnationalismus ein bestimmtes und durchaus serioses Forschungsprogramm gemeint?
Vor dem Hintergrund eigener langjahriger theoretischer und empirischer Studien zum Thema zeigt Ludger Pries, dass sich die Art und Weise zwischenmenschlichen Zusammenlebens, die Vergesellschaftung der Menschen, immer starker transnationalisiert. Damit ist Transnationalisierung eine wichtige Form der Internationalisierung von Vergesellschaftung, die unser 21. Jahrhundert sehr stark bestimmen wird. Der Autor zeigt dies anhand konkreter Beispiele auf den Ebenen der alltaglichen Lebenswelten, der Organisationen und gesellschaftlicher Institutionen.

Viele Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund schliessen sich in Organisationen wie z.B. Kultur- oder Sportvereinen, politisch oder ethnisch orientierten Gruppen, Elternverbanden oder Moscheegemeinden zusammen. Welche Rolle spielen hierbei grenzuberschreitend tatige Migrantenorganisationen - fur deren Mitglieder und fur die 'Mehrheitsgesellschaft'? Dienen sie vorrangig der Bewahrung von Identitat aus der Herkunftsgesellschaft oder foerdern sie die Integration in die Ankunftsgesellschaft? In der neueren Forschung wird diese 'entweder-oder'-Perspektive zunehmend um eine 'sowohl-als-auch'-Sichtweise erweitert: Viele Migrantenorganisationen uberspannen Grenzen im doppelten - geographischen und sozialraumlichen - Sinn. Sie schaffen transnationale Sozialraume und beeinflussen sowohl Ankunfts- wie auch Herkunftsgesellschaften. Der Band integriert Ergebnisse aus aktuellen Studien zu Selbstverstandnis, Arbeitsweise und Funktion von grenzuberschreitend tatigen Migrantenorganisationen.

Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit ist die seit etwa Anfang der 80er Jahre in den Sozialwissenschaften, vor allem in der Industriesoziologie, aber auch unter Praktikern aus der Politik, den Gewerkschaften, dem betrieblichen Management, dem Arbeitsmarkt-und Bildungsbereich etc. gefuhrte Diskussion, die sich in einer ersten Annaherung durch Schlagworte wie "Dritte Industrielle Revolution," "Umbruch von Technik und Arbeit," "Ende des Taylorismus," "mikroelektronische Revolution" oder "Neuer Typ systemischer Rationalisierung" umschreiben lasst. Hierbei geht es letztlich um die Frage, wie die besondere Qualitat, die Fonn und die Richtung der gegenwartigen industriellen und betrieblichen Wandlungsprozesse zu verstehen, zu erklaren und zu beurteilen sind. Auf der Grundlage umfangreichen empirischen Materials werden die aktuellen betrieblichen Umbruchprozesse in Anlehnung an U. Becks Konzept des Ubergangs von der Industriegesellschaft zur "Risikogesellschaft" als reflexive Modemisierung interpretiert. Hierauf aufbauend wird ein Vorschlag zur Weiterentwicklung des konzeptionellen sozialwissenschaftlichen Betriebsverstand nisses entwickelt und der Betrieb als Handlungseinheit der stofflichen und sozialen Transfonnation von Wirklichkeit gefasst. Die Arbeit versteht sich als Beitrag zur Empirie und Theorie betrieblicher Wandlungsprozesse."

Nachstehend legen wir fUr das im Rahmen des Programms "Mensch und Technik - Sozialvertragliche Technikgestaltung" durchgefiihrte Projekt 'Modernisierung der Produktionstechnik und soziale Differenzierung' den zweiten Teil des AbschluBberichts vor. Der erste Teil enthielt die sieben Branchenexpertisen, die wesentlicher Gegenstand unseres Verbundprojekts waren, sowie die zusatzlich von uns eingeholten Korreferate (Pries/Schmidt/Trinczek 1989). In diesem zweiten Berichts- teil folgt unsere brancheniibergreifende Auswertung und Interpretation des vorliegenden Materials. Dabei wurde Teil II, III, VI und der Anhang I von Ludger Pries bearbeitet, Teil V und der Anhang II von Rudi Schmidt und Teil IV von Rainer Trinczek. Die Inhalte trag en wir selbstverstandlich gemeinsam. An dem Projekt waren neben den Verfassern zeitweilig Peter Ellguth, Joachim Soyez und Elisabeth Werner-Hager als wissenschaftliche, Ingrid Artus, Aida Bosch, Manuela Kral und Markus Promberger als studenti- sche Mitarbeiter beteiligt. Der wissenschaftliche Rat Werner Mangolds war uns wahrend der gesamten Projektlaufzeit eine wertvolle Hilfe; ohne seine kundige Unterstiitzung bei der institutionell nieht immer einfachen Projektabwicklung ware unsere Arbeit manches Mal gefahr- lich ins Stocken geraten. Heidrun Heinlein iibernahm als Projektsekre- tarin nicht nur die Koordination des Projekts mit dem universitaren Verwaltungstrager; sie erledigte ebenso schnell wie souveran die gesamten Schreibarbeiten des Projekts, die nicht nur in dessen Endphase in erheblichem Umfang anfielen. An der Finanzierung dieses forschungsprojekts war neben dem Land Nordrhein-Westfalen auch die Universitat Erlangen-Niirnberg wesentlich beteiligt. Wir danken allen Gesprachspartnern in den Betrieben fUr ihre bereit- willigen Auskiinfte sowie den Kollegen aus verschiedenen Forschungsin- stituten fiir ihre Diskussionsbereitschaft und vielfaltige Anregungen.

This book examines the role that European employee representatives play in the restructuring of firms. In a globalized economy, company internationalization and transnational restructuring are of growing concern for employees and trade unions. In the European Union, the still rather new institution of European works councils provides basic rights for employees. Using examples of eight large automotive manufacturers like Volkswagen, GM or Toyota, the volume analyzes the internationalization strategies of the companies and the effects of European works councils, pointing to a high degree of variation in strategies and effectiveness of cross-border employee representation.
