Religion and Civil Society in Europe (Hardcover, 2013 ed.): Joep de Hart, Paul Dekker, Loek Halman Religion and Civil Society in Europe (Hardcover, 2013 ed.)
Joep de Hart, Paul Dekker, Loek Halman
R3,646 Discovery Miles 36 460 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Religion is back again in Europe after never having been gone. It is manifest in the revival of religious institutions and traditions in former communist countries, in political controversies about the relationship between the church(es) and the state and about the freedom of religion and the freedom to criticize religion, and in public unease about religious minorities. This book is about religion and civil society in Europe. It moves from general theoretical and normative approaches of this relationship, via the examination of national patterns of religion-state relations, to in-depth analyses of the impact of religion and secularization on the values, pro-social attitudes and civic engagement of individuals. It covers Europe from the Lutheran North to the Catholic South, and from the secularized West to the Orthodox East and Islamic South-East with comparative analyses and country studies, concluding with an overall Europe-USA comparison.

Social Capital and Participation in Everyday Life (Paperback): Paul Dekker, Eric M. Uslaner Social Capital and Participation in Everyday Life (Paperback)
Paul Dekker, Eric M. Uslaner
R1,793 Discovery Miles 17 930 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This timely volume puts emphasis on the effect of social capital on everyday life: how the routines of daily life lead people to get involved in their communities. Focussing on its micro-level causes and consequences, the book's international contributors argue that social capital is fundamentally concerned with the value of social networks and about how people interact with each other.
The book suggests that different modes of participation have different consequences for creating - or destroying - a sense of community or participation. The diversity of countries, institutions and groups dealt with - from Indian castes to Dutch churches, from highly competent 'everyday makers' in Scandinavia to politics-avoiding Belgian women and Irish villagers - offers fascinating case studies, and theoretical reflections for the present debates about civil society and democracy.

Moral Sentiments in Modern Society - A New Answer to Classical Questions (Hardcover, 0): Gabriel Brink Moral Sentiments in Modern Society - A New Answer to Classical Questions (Hardcover, 0)
Gabriel Brink; Translated by Gioia Marini; Contributions by Paul Dekker, Erik Ingen, Loek Halman, …
R4,424 Discovery Miles 44 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Since the time of Adam Smith, scholars have tried to understand the role moral sentiments play in modern life, an issue that became especially urgent during and after the 2008 global financial crisis. Previous explanations have ranged from the idea that modern society is built on moral values to the notion that modernisation results in moral decay. The essays in this interdisciplinary volume use the example of Dutch society and a wealth of empirical data to propose a novel theory about the ambivalent relation between contemporary life and human nature. In the process, the contributors argue for the need to reject simplistic explanations and reinvent civil society.

Europe's Neighbors - European Neighbourhood Policy and Public Opinion on the European Union (Paperback): Paul Dekker Europe's Neighbors - European Neighbourhood Policy and Public Opinion on the European Union (Paperback)
Paul Dekker
R1,255 Discovery Miles 12 550 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The sixteen neighbors of the European Union are a very mixed bunch. They range from the oil states of Algeria and Libya to wealthy Israel and impoverished Moldova. This group of countries, owing to deep mutual tensions and large geographical distances, either do not or barely talk to each other. The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) aims to promote prosperity in and relations with the neighboring countries of the EU. The challenge is to understand the economic situations of this very mixed group of neighboring countries. The emphasis is on the importance of good trade relations and the supportive role of the European neighborhood policy. The volume also examines differences among the twenty-seven member states on a broad spectrum of attitudes and preferences. It considers the latest developments in support for EU membership (high) and involvement with the EU (limited).
