    The Demographic Dividend (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

    Entbehrliche der Bürgergesellschaft? (2021)
    transcript Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: Mitmachen, gestalten, sich für andere einsetzen - zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement hat viele Facetten. Und sie sind alle wichtig, denn die Beteiligung an der Bürgergesellschaft ist nicht zuletzt Beteiligung an der res publica. Die Form der Bürgergesellschaft hat sich in den letzten Jahren allerdings gewandelt: Informelle und flexible Aktivitäten werden gegenüber starren Mitgliedschaften bevorzugt. Doch ist bislang kaum versucht worden, die Perspektive sozial Benachteiligter einzunehmen. Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich daher mit der Teilhabe von Menschen mit geringem Einkommen und niedrigem Bildungsgrad an der modernen Bürgergesellschaft und zeigt: Auch hier gibt es zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement. Nur anders. (unter Mitarbeit von David Bebnowski, Oliver D'Antonio, Ivonne Kroll, Michael Lühmann, Felix M. Steiner und Christian Woltering)

    Changing the Course of AIDS (2023)
    Cornell University Press | ILR Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-16
    Description: Changing the Course of AIDS is an in-depth evaluation of a new and exciting way to create the kind of much-needed behavioral change that could affect the course of the global health crisis of HIV/AIDS. This case study from the South African HIV/AIDS epidemic demonstrates that regular workers serving as peer educators can be as—or even more—effective agents of behavioral change than experts who lecture about the facts and so-called appropriate health care behavior. After spending six years researching the response of large South African companies to the epidemic that is decimating their workforce as well as South African communities, David Dickinson describes the promise of this grassroots intervention—workers educating one another in the workplace and community—and the limitations of traditional top-down strategies. Dickinson's book takes us right into the South African workplace to show how effective and yet enormously complex peer education really is. We see what it means when workers directly tackle the kinds of sexual, gender, religious, ethnic, and broader social and political taboos that make behavior change so difficult, particularly when that behavior involves sex and sexuality. Dickinson's findings show that people who are not officially health care experts or even health care workers can be skilled and effective educators. In this book we see why peer education has so much to offer societies grappling with the HIV/AIDS epidemic and why those interested in changing behaviors to ameliorate other health problems like obesity, alcoholism, and substance abuse have so much to learn from the South African example.

    Wahrheit und Nützlichkeit (2021)
    transcript Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Modern science is defined on one hand as an autotelic pursuit of truth. On the other hand, it also keeps the practical benefit of new knowledge in its sights. David Kaldewey reconstructs the origin and significance of this dual goal by means of historical-sociological semantic analysis. He shows how both objectives condense among a variety of autonomy and practice discourses. The tension between these discourses reveals itself from a differentiation theoretical perspective as constitutive of the dynamics of modern science.
    Description: Die moderne Wissenschaft definiert sich einerseits als selbstzweckhaftes Streben nach Wahrheit, andererseits hat sie zugleich den praktischen Nutzen des neuen Wissens im Blick. Die Genese und Bedeutung dieser doppelten Referenz rekonstruiert David Kaldewey mittels historisch-soziologischer Semantikanalysen. Er zeigt, wie die beiden Zielsetzungen in vielfältigen Autonomiediskursen und Praxisdiskursen kondensieren. Die Spannung zwischen diesen Diskursen erweist sich aus einer differenzierungstheoretischen Perspektive als konstitutiv für die Dynamik der modernen Wissenschaft.

    Mit Adorno im Tonstudio (2022)
    transcript Verlag | transcript Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-07-16
    Description: Das Aufzeichnen von Musik im Tonstudio wird bisher eher selten als eigenständige Form des Musizierens verstanden. David Waldecker untersucht diesen Prozess mit Bezug auf Adorno, praxeologische Ansätze und eigene Feldforschung im Bereich Hardcore und Jazz. Er zeigt, wie im Studio durch dessen technische und räumliche Besonderheiten und Rolle in der Produktion bestimmte Formen des Musikmachens erzeugt werden. Zugleich liefert er eine Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Ansätzen in der Musiksoziologie und der Ethnographie aus Sicht der Kritischen Theorie Adornos.
