    Beschreibung: A Continent Moving West? argues that the conceptualization of migration as a one-way or long-term process is becoming increasingly wide of the mark. Rather, east-west labor migration in Europe, in common perhaps with other flows in and from other parts of the world, is diverse, fluid, and influenced by the dynamics of local and sector-specific labor markets and migration-related political regulations. The papers in this book contribute to critical understanding of the east-west migration within the European Union after the 2004 enlargement, from the new to the old member states.

    Beschreibung: As recent events in Iraq demonstrate, countries that have suffered civil war or rule by military regime can face a long, difficult transition to peaceful democracy. Drawing on the experiences of Bosnia, Haiti, Rwanda and Afghanistan, this outstanding volume demonstrates that newly emerging democracies need more than emergency economic support: restoring the rule of law can involve the training of a new police force, for example, or the creation of an international war crimes tribunal. Concluding with specific recommendations for the UN and EU members,Voorhoeve reminds us that disregard for human rights or delay in civilian reconciliation can lead to resurgences of violence.

    Beschreibung: Muslims remain largely unaware of the importance and value of the Qur’anic principle of alShura (mutual consultation) and the significant role it can play in the advancement and reform of Muslim society. In this work, the author attempts to introduce and examine key meanings and practices of alShura, trace its historical evolution, and explore ways in which the principle can be introduced, institutionalized and applied in Muslim societies. There is no doubt that alShura has been sidelined throughout the Muslim world and the reasons for this are both historically and politically complex. According to the author, although much has been written on the subject, in reality it has been at best ineffectively applied and at worst heedlessly ignored. Even today it is a hotly contested issue. As alShura is increasingly associated with democratic participation in a decisionmaking process, debate has ignited with critics challenging the notion of equating the principle with western notions of democracy, with others claiming that the principle allows for a meaning that breaks the grip of centralized power. These and other issues are investigated with careful scholarship. AlRaysuni concludes that alShura should be adopted as a way of life for all Muslims to protect their interests and as a vital tool for reconstruction and reform. In doing so he addresses the subject from some intriguing new angles, giving insight into areas hitherto little, if at all, examined.

    Beschreibung: This book provides a well-documented analysis of the strategy of the Salim Group, one of the largest family conglomerates in Southeast Asia. Using a multitude of sources, including interviews with the Salim family and Salim Group managers, the author provides a comprehensive corporate biography of this fascinating family firm. The Rhythm of Strategy: A Corporate Biography of the Salim Group of Indonesia criticises existing theories on ethnic Chinese firms and instead provides a more nuanced view of the evolution of a small migrant trading business into the largest family business group in Southeast Asia. It argues that the strategy of this group oscillated irregularly between a business model built on connections and a professional business model adapted to markets. Due to its size and closeness to the Suharto regime, the Salim Group has played an important role in shaping Indonesia's economy. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: Does the fact that the majority of Turkey's population is Muslim form a hindrance to its EU membership? According to a recent policy advice by the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR), the answer is an adamant 'no'. Why is this issue of Turkish Islam relevant? After all, Turkey should not be judged by standards other than the Copenhagen criteria. The answer is that the public debate outside 'Brussels' will not be limited to these official criteria. Many people in Europe are worried about Turkey's 'Islam factor'. They believe that Muslims are (potentially violent) fundamentalists who want to establish a theocracy. By explicitly examining the role of Turkish Islam and Muslims in Turkey, the WRR wants to contribute to a well-informed European public debate on Turkey's accession.

    Beschreibung: This book is a collection of ethnographies of transnational migration and border crossings in Asia. Interdisciplinary in scope, it addresses issues of mobility and Diaspora from various vantage points. Unique to this volume is an emphasis of studying globalisation from below, privileging the narratives and views of "people on the move" - or the transnational underclass - and their sense of belonging to places and communities. The collection is further distinguished by its focus on the sources of authority and the social configurations that are created in the intersections between legality and illegality across Asia. Though previous studies on transnational flows have deconstructed the notion of nation-states as having fixed political boundaries, and have engaged in spaces beyond the nation-states, seldom has an entire region, Asia, been privileged in one integrated volume. We emphasize hitherto marginalized debates that have significant policy relevance. Other than a serious academic interest from lecturers and students, we are confident that book will be of significant interest for development practitioners and NGOs.

    Beschreibung: Migrants often remain loyal to their former homelands and stay active in the politics there- despite widespread criticism of these ties in their host countries. Combining extensive fieldwork with quantitative data, Beyond Dutch Borders compares how transnational political involvement among guest workers from Turkey and postcolonial migrants from Surinam living in the Netherlands has evolved during the past fifty years. The author explores the dynamics and influence of such dual affiliations and finds that migrants' border-crossing loyalties and engagement actually heighten their political integration into their host countries.

    Beschreibung: The need to analyse labour market mechanisms in post-industrial Western societies is urgent. Despite laws and policy measures being developed at the European, national and local levels, job-seeking immigrants and ethnic minorities still suffer unequal access and ethnic discrimination. This volume endeavours to understand why. Four chapters dealing with discrimination, gender, equity policies and diversity management present a lively discussion of the current scientific debate. Besides providing empirical evidence, the authors recommend methods for conducting further research in the field and evaluate the actual effects of discrimination-combating policies. One conclusion is that systematic analysis of the labour market and its subsequent equity policies must be supported by hard data, such as statistics. With its state-of-the-art scope and unique thematic exploration, this volume transfers knowledge from social science studies to a more operational realm. From here, both scholars and practitioners can help make equal opportunities more accessible than ever. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: Many of today's Dutch writers were children during World War II. Even today, the traumatic childhood experience of enemy occupation is still central to the work of many of them. This interest cuts across the traditional boundaries between fiction, autobiography and the literature of trauma and recovery. A Family Occupation is the first English-language introduction to Dutch-language texts written by and about the 'Children of the War' and their cultural context. Their themes and literary conventions throw an interesting light on the Dutch approach to issues such as guilt and innocence, memory and narrative, national identity, child abuse and victimhood.

    Beschreibung: Ever since the dramatic events of September 11, 2001 the fundamentalist and exclusivist trend prevails in most presentations of Islamic thinking. Indeed, these events have given extremists and fundamentalists a much more prominent position than they might ever have dreamt of. In Reformation of Islamic Thought, the prominent Egyptian scholar Nasr Abû Zayd examines the positive, liberal, and inclusive reaction embedded in the writings of Muslim thinkers. He takes the reader on a critical journey across the Muslim World, where Muslim thinkers from Egypt and Iran to Indonesia seek to divest Islam of traditionalistic and legalistic interpretation. Instead, these thinkers stress the value of a cultural, enlightened Islam, and an individualistic faith. For many, the dogmatic Islam established by the conservatives and supported by totalitarian political regimes is outdated; they want it replaced by a spiritual and ethical Islam. To what extent are these reformist thinkers engaged in a genuine renewal of Islamic thought? Do they succeed in escaping the traditionalist trap of presenting a purely negative image of the West?

    Beschreibung: Rainer Werner Fassbinder is one of the most prominent and important authors of post-war European cinema. Thomas Elsaesser is the first to write a thoroughly analytical study of his work. He stresses the importance of a closer understanding of Fassbinder's career through a re-reading of his films as textual entities. Approaching the work from different thematic and analytical perspectives, Elsaesser offers both an overview and a number of detailed readings of crucial films, while also providing a European context for Fassbinder's own coming to terms with fascism.

    Beschreibung: While studies of mobile wireless communication devices usually focus on their social implications, De Vries proposes to venture into a more historical and comparative direction to shed light on our preoccupation with them in the first place. He constructs an archaeological view of the development of communication technologies over the past 200 years, providing a comprehensive account of how persistent hopes and beliefs have come to give mobile wireless media such a prominent position today. Our expectations and uses of them are surprisingly similar to those of older media; consequently, they reconfirm the idea that living in an ‘anyone, anything, anytime, anywhere’ world is both a blessing and a curse, and that the desire for sublime communication is a tragic yet highly powerful regulative principle in our media evolution.

    Beschreibung: As machine-readable data comes to play an increasingly important role in everyday life, researchers find themselves with rich resources for studying society. The novel methods and tools needed to work with such data require not only new knowledge and skills, but also a new way of thinking about best research practices. This book critically reflects on the role and usefulness of big data, challenging overly optimistic expectations about what such information can reveal, introducing practices and methods for its analysis and visualisation, and raising important political and ethical questions regarding its collection, handling, and presentation.

    Beschreibung: Traditionally, the Netherlands has enjoyed being a test market for many ideas in the media. But over the last decade, progress has been severely hampered by lengthy discussions on the future structure of just one sector of media, namely public broadcasting via radio and television. The narrow approach results in a lot of paper, speeches and theories, but little in the way of definitive policy making. In a report to the government, published in February 2005, the Scientific Council for Government Policy (WRR) argued for very different approaches to policy making. The recommendations are not only much broader than "broadcasting"; they tackle the challenges of making robust policy from new angles. Instead of trying to repair the old compass, the approach has been to find new instruments to help policymakers navigate the stormy and often confusing waters ahead. Perhaps the problem in the Netherlands is not accepting the new media, but rather accepting that the role "old" media has undergone a paradigm shift. Since the bulk of the WRR findings were published in the Dutch language, this summary is intended to provide readers outside the Netherlands with an insight into the issues at stake - and the solutions suggested by the WRR.

    Beschreibung: In economics, business, and government policy, innovation policy requires the creation of new approaches based on insight in what happens in innovation processes, on the micro level of people, firms and interaction between them. In innovation policy it should also be recognized that innovation entails a whole range of activities beyond R&D, such as entrepreneurship, design, commercialization, organization, collaboration and the diffusion of knowledge and innovations . This edited volume explores the roles of individuals and organizations involved in the creation and application of innovations. Covering topics as diverse as the macro-economic importance of innovation, theories of knowledge and learning, entrepreneurship, education and research, organizational innovation, networks and regional innovation systems, Micro-Foundations for Innovation Policy provides critical insights into the development of innovation policy.

    Beschreibung: In this timely study, Yolande Jansen critiques efforts to assimilate religious minorities into a secular and supposedly neutral public sphere. Such efforts, she ably demonstrates, can create and perpetuate the very distinctions they aim to overcome. Her sophisticated analyses draw on literature that depicts the paradoxes of assimilation as experienced by French Jews in the late nineteenth century. Paying particular attention to Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, she ultimately argues for dynamic, critical multiculturalism as an alternative to secularism, assimilation, and integration.

    Beschreibung: With the end of the early Islamic period, Muslim scholars came to sense that a rift had begun to emerge between the teachings and principles of Islam and Muslims’ daily reality and practices. The most important means by which scholars sought to restore the intimate contact between Muslims and the Qur’an was to study the objectives of Islam, the causes behind Islamic legal rulings and the intentions and goals underlying the Shari'ah, or Islamic Law. They made it clear that every legal ruling in Islam has a function which it performs, an aim which it realizes, a cause, be it explicit or implicit, and an intention which it seeks to fulfill, and all of this in order to realize benefit to human beings or to ward off harm or corruption. They showed how these intentions, and higher objectives might at times be contained explicitly in the texts of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, while at other times, scholars might bring them to light by means of independent reasoning based on their understanding of the Qur’an and the Sunnah within a framework of time and space. This book represents a pioneering contribution presenting a comprehensive theory of the objectives of Islamic law in its various aspects, as well as a painstaking study of objectives-based thought as pioneered by the father of objectives-based jurisprudence, Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi; in addition, the author presents us with an important study of al-Shatibi himself which offers a wealth of new, beneficial information about the life, thought and method of this venerable man.

    Beschreibung: Although vastly influential in German-speaking Europe, conceptual history (Begriffsgeschichte) has until now received little attention in English. This genre of intellectual history differs from both the French history of mentalités and the Anglophone history of discourses by positing the concept - the key occupier of significant syntactical space - as the object of historical investigation. Contributions by distinguished practitioners and critics of conceptual history from Europe and America illustrate both the distinctiveness and diversity of the genre. The first part of the book is devoted to the origins and identity of the field, as well as methodological issues. Part two presents exemplary studies focusing either on a particular concept (such as Maurizio Viroli's 'Reason of the State') or a particular approach to conceptual history (e.g. Bernard Scholz for literary criticism and Terence Ball for political science). The final, most innovative section of the book looks at concepts and art - high, bourgeois and demotic. Here Bram Kempers discusses the conceptual history of Raphael's frescos in the Stanza della Segnatura of the Vatican; Eddy de Jongh examines the linguistic character of much Dutch genre painting; and Rolf Reichardt considers the conceptual structure implicit in card games of the French Revolution, used to induct those on the margins of literacy into the new revolutionary world-view.

    Beschreibung: To say that technology is male comes as no surprise, but the claim that its history is a short one strikes a new note. Making Technology Masculine: Men, Women, and Modern Machines in America, 1870-1945 maps the historical process through which men laid claims to technology as their exclusive terrain. It also explores how women contested this ascendancy of the male discourse and engineered alternative plots. From the moral gymnasium of the shop floor to the staging grounds of World's Fairs, engineers, inventors, social scientists, activists, and novelists emplotted and questioned technology as our modern male myth. Oldenziel recounts the history of technology - both as intellectual construct and material practice - by analyzing these struggles. Drawing on a broad range of sources, she explains why male machines rather than female fabrics have become the modern markers of technology. She shows how technology developed as a narrative production of modern manliness, allowing women little room for negotiation. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: We live in a period of accelerating change. New trends, technologies and crisis emerge rapidly and transform familiar social and political landscapes. Established and cherished ideals, with deep historical roots, can be overturned overnight. Unconventional and uncommon notions and events can appear as though from nowhere, proliferate, and become dominant. The last few years alone have witnessed the emergence of populism and the far right in Europe and the US, Brexit, cracks in the European Union, cyber wars accompanied by the re-emergence of a cold war. China as an increasingly dominant new superpower. Pandemics like the Ebola and Zika viruses. Climate change leading to extreme weather events. Driverless cars. AI. ‘Fake News’. ‘Alternative Facts’. ‘Post-Truth’. ‘Disruptive technologies’ that disrupt and often corrupt everything. Everything seems to be in a state of flux, nothing can be trusted. All that we regard as normal is melting away right before us. The postnormal times theory attempts to make sense of a rapidly changing world, where uncertainty is the dominant theme and ignorance has become a valuable commodity. The Postnormal Times Reader is a pioneering anthology of writings on the contradictory, complex and chaotic nature of our era. It covers the origins, theory and methods of postnormal times; and examines a host of issues, ranging from climate change, governance, Middle East to religion and science, from the perspective of postnormal times. By mapping some of the key local and global issues of our transitional age, the Reader suggests a way of navigating our turbulent futures.

    Beschreibung: The contributors analyse the mutual impact of colonial and postcolonial governance on the development, organisation and mobilisation of Islam paying special attention to the ongoing battles over the codification of Islamic education, religious authority, law and practice while outlining the similarities and differences, the continuities and ruptures in British, French and Portuguese colonial rule in Islamic regions. Using a shared conceptual framework they examine the nature of regulation and its outcomes in different historical periods in selected African, Middle Eastern, Asian and European countries. This authoritative study opens up new vistas for research in Islamic studies. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: The production, distribution, and perception of moving images are undergoing a radical transformation. Ever-faster computers, digital technology, and microelectronic are joining forces to produce advanced audiovision -the media vanishing point of the 20th century. Very little will remain unchanged. The classic institutions for the mediation of film - cinema and television - are revealed to be no more than interludes in the broader history of the audiovisual media. This book interprets these changes not simply as a cultural loss but also as a challenge: the new audiovisions have to be confronted squarely to make strategic intervention possible. Audiovisions provides a historical underpinning for this active approach. Spanning 100 years, from the end of the 19th to the end of the 20th century, it reconstructs the complex genesis of cinema and television as historically relative - and thus finite - cultural forms, focussing on the dynamics and tension in the interaction between the apparatus and its uses. The book is also a plea for 'staying power' in studies of cultural technology and technological culture of film. Essayistic in style, it dispenses with complicated cross references and, instead, is structured around distinct historical phases. Montages of images and text provide supplemental information, contrast, and comment. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: The human race is in crisis and very few of us if any are able to understand what is wrong with our lives and the world at large. How did this happen and how did humans become so ‘disconnected’ with humanity? Why are psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fear, and suicide on the increase, and why are conventional Western therapies unable to stem the tide? To approach this, we must first look inside ourselves to explore our own purpose in life and extend that principle to the rest of humanity. Despite the advances of modern Western psychology and the development of therapies that do help many, one area that is largely unexplored is that of the ‘human spirit’ and spirituality since it is more convenient to consider the human mind as ‘machine’ that responds to external stimuli. In this powerful exploration into the human mind and its relationship with the human spirit, Malik Badri invites the reader to open the door to selfdiscovery, purpose and spirituality through the practice of contemplation, reflection and meditation understanding the true meaning and experience of spirituality as well as one’s own place in Creation. Whilst central to worship in Islam, this will also be of great interest to, and help any reader wishing to explore the notion of spirituality whether as part of worship or simply as part of self-development and inner healing.

    Beschreibung: Integration politics in the Netherlands has changed dramatically between 1990 and 2005. Whereas ethnic and religious differences were hitherto pacified through accommodation, a new and increasingly powerful current in Dutch politicsproblematizes the presence of minorities.This development represents a challenge to sociologists and political scientists: how to map and explain drastic changes?Arguing that extant approaches are better at explaining continuity than change, this book develops a distinct approach to the study of dynamic power relations to understand drastic transformations in the national debate as well as urban governance.

    Beschreibung: Starting from a cluster of villages in southeast Albania, Albanian-born British scholar Julie Vullnetari follows rural migrants to domestic urban destinations such as Tirana and abroad to Thessaloniki in Greece. Vullnetari has conducted more than 150 interviews, and drawing upon this rich empirical material, she offers a profound account of Albanian migration from start to finish. A rare, exhaustive overview of Albania's post-communist internal and international migrations, Albania on the Move is a powerful combination of ethnography and multifaceted academic analysis, grounded in the personal experience of the author.

    Beschreibung: Over the last two decades most infrastructures were subject to significant regime change. Once a state monopoly, infrastructures have now been liberalised or even fully privatised, thereby introducing new actors and new levels of decision making. Regime change has led to an increased emphasis on service delivery, lower prices and enhanced consumer choice, together with a greater concern for efficiency. What are the effects of regime change and the resultant short-term focus for the long-term investment in physical infrastructures? The essays in this bundle analyse the effects on long-term investment in different infrastructures and from different perspectives and disciplines. These findings form the basis for the accompanying WRR Report entitled "http://www.aup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_book&isbn=9789053566053"〉Infrastructures: Time to invest, in which strategic policy orientations are developed that serve short-term values such as efficiency and service provision, as well as long-term values such as security of supply, innovation and sustainability.

    Beschreibung: Where will Muslim societies be tomorrow? The world is increasingly and constantly changing, making it hard to keep up. This makes the state much more dire and troublesome for those already marginalised – particularly Muslim societies. Normal is no longer capable of upholding the promise of tomorrow’s certainty. These are postnormal times. In this storm of ignorance and uncertainty, Muslim societies stand to lose the most. But this is not destiny. In the cultivation of a new type of literacy – futures literacy – there resides a hope. Muslim Societies in Postnormal Times offers an alternative where we can ‘rescue’ and decolonise our futures. Sardar, Serra, and Jordan take an open and plural approach to the future revealing the true potentials that lie before us. Through detailed analysis of contemporary trends, the road to destruction is revealed. Through identifying and exploring emerging issues, agency through options can allow for positive change. And in the extrapolation of these ideas into scenarios, the authors pave the way for us to navigate our own preferred futures. Their study challenges the reader to think about the future in a new way, redefining the monolithic future as three tomorrows (Extended Present, Familiar Futures, and Unthought Futures), along the way ever watchful for Black Swans, Black Elephants, and the illustrious Black Jellyfish that could disrupt the path ahead. The authors pull no punches in critically evaluating the possibilities and nightmares that could potentially befall Muslim societies. Through a display of creativity and imagination, this book looks beyond the conventional to illuminate impacts in the context of the complex, interconnected world we find ourselves in. This informative and enlightening text will push readers to see beyond popular, yet native notions of present and future. In the exposition of the reader’s ignorance and uncertainty, they will begin to look for the unthought and take agency in recolonising and navigating their preferred tomorrow.

    Beschreibung: This collection of papers presents a reformist project calling upon Muslim intellectuals and scholars everywhere to comprehend the vast breadth and depth of the crisis engulfing Muslim thought today and the necessity of solving this crisis to enable the Ummah to experience a revival and fulfill its role among the nations of the world. The reader will find a variety of articles dealing with this intellectual crises, these include a chapter on ijtihad’s role and history, important since our intellectual problems cannot be solved without the scholars’ use of independent reasoning and creativity. Another discusses imitation (taqlid) calling upon Muslim scholars and intellectuals to abandon imitation and to stop favoring the past over the present when trying to solve modern problems. Another looks at human rights.

    Beschreibung: This groundbreaking volume explores the multicultural debate that has evolved in the United States and Europe since the cataclysmic events of 9/11. Instead of suggesting closure by presenting a unified narrative about cultural diversity, national identity, and social stratification, the essays in this well-balanced collection present a variety of perspectives, each highlighting the undiminished relevance of key issues such as immigration, assimilation, and citizenship, while also pointing to unresolved conflicts over universalism, religion, and tolerance. Most importantly, this volume shows that the struggle over multiculturalism is not limited to the political domain, but also has profound cultural implications. American Multiculturalism after 9/11: Transatlantic Perspectives is an invaluable, thought-provoking addition to the debate about multiculturalism as central to the study of the United States in a global context.

    Beschreibung: Diaspora and transnationalism are widely used concepts in academic as well as political discourses. Although originally referring to quite different phenomena, they increasingly overlap today. Such inflation of meanings goes hand in hand with a danger of essentialising collective identities. This book therefore analyses diaspora and transnationalism as research perspectives rather than as characteristics of particular social groups. The contributions focus on conceptual uses, theoretical challenges and methodological innovations in the study of social ties that transcend nation and state boundaries. This volume brings together authors from a wide range of fields and approaches in the social sciences, as studying border-crossing affiliations also requires a crossing of disciplinary boundaries.

    Beschreibung: In Europe immigration is a politically burning issue, especially when it comes to the arrival of asylum seekers and illegal labour migrants. Governments want to keep them under control in order to limit their numbers. Yet, traditionally there were strong differences between European states in the extent to which they sought to do so and the instruments employed to that end. Currently, the contours become visible of a common approach towards - notably irregular - migration. This becomes clear from the country studies comprising this volume.

    Beschreibung: The familiar shape of western cities is changing dramatically. For long times the urban core was taken for granted as the focal point for international contacts and day-to-day activities in the region. Currently, the urban scope is transforming into multi centred forms at metropolitan scale. The transition is not just a matter of spatial form, it is reflecting social, economic and cultural processes. The question is what new identities may develop in such changing historical conditions of space and place.The book is a first attempt to analyse the process of urban transformation in an integral way. The focus is on the region of Amsterdam. All contributions are written by senior researchers of the Amsterdam studycentre for the Metropolitan Environment (AME). AME is the interdisciplinary urban research institute of the Universiteit van Amsterdam.As the urban research institute at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, the Amsterdam studycentre for the Metropolitan Environment (AME) analyses the economic, social and cultural aspects of this spatial transformation, usually in international comparative research. All contributions to this book are written by senior researchers of AME in an attempt to analyse in an integral way the present and future dilemmas out of the historical growth paths of this dynamic city.

This new dynamic is not yet understood clearly, let alone that adequate policy answers for 'the managing' of these new migration processes and the consequences for receiving and sending societies are within. This comprehensive overview of migration research conducted throughout the IMISCOE network of European research analyses the influx of various types of immigrants in Western Europe post World War II, mostly to large cities, as well as the reactions of the native populations and governments to the changes and pressures brought about by immigration.

    Beschreibung: For over a hundred years, writers, artists, anthropologists and tourists have travelled to Bahia, Brazil, in search of the spirit possession cult called Candomblé. Thus, successive generations of cultists have seen a long, steady stream of curious outsiders coming to their temples with notebooks and cameras, questions and inquisitive gazes, or ogling eyes and the hope of inclusion. This study asks what seduced these outsiders to seek access to the Afro-Brazilian religious universe and, conversely, how did cultists respond to the overwhelming interest in their creed and to becoming an object of the outsiders' imaginations. "Thriving in the gap between the sensuous fullness of life and the impossibility of its cultural representation, Ecstatic Encounters opens mind-blowing vistas for 'writing culture' in anthropology today."- Birgit Meyer, Free University of Amsterdam.

    Beschreibung: Der vorliegende Band enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge der Sitzung des Ausschusses »Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik« im Verein für Socialpolitik, die vom 10. bis 12. Februar 1994 in Osnabrück stattgefunden hat. Die Aufsätze liefern einen anschaulichen Eindruck davon, wie sehr in den letzten zehn Jahren ethische Fragen als Probleme wirtschaftlicher Praxis und ökonomischer Theoriebildung an Bedeutung und an Interesse gewonnen haben. Darüber hinaus zeigt sich, daß der anfänglich schwierige Dialog zwischen »Ökonomen« und »Philosophen« bei der Behandlung ethischer, also moralphilosophischer Fragestellungen zunehmend offener und fruchtbarer wird. Die Arbeitstagung und damit auch der vorliegende Tagungsband sind durch drei deutlich erkennbare thematische Schwerpunkte geprägt, die in gewisser Weise einen repräsentativen Querschnitt aus der Vielfalt der gegenwärtigen wirtschafts- und unternehmensethischen Diskussionen bieten. Den ersten Schwerpunkt bilden unternehmensethische Fragestellungen im weiteren Sinne. Josef Wieland erörtert ausgehend von US-amerikanischen Erfahrungen Formen der Institutionalisierung von Moral in der Unternehmung, die er sodann zum Anlaß für grundsätzliche theoretische Reflexionen über die unternehmensethische Problematik nimmt. Im Aufsatz von Margit Osterloh (Mitautoren Regine Tiemann und Simon Grand) steht der mögliche Beitrag der ökonomischen Theorie zum organisationalen Lernen im Zentrum der Betrachtung. Den zweiten Schwerpunkt bilden philosophisch begründete Beiträge zur Wirtschaftsethik. Ulrich Gähde entwickelt am Beispiel des klassischen Utilitarismus sehr grundsätzliche und für die weitere Forschung anregende Überlegungen über die Anwendung wissenschaftstheoretischer Methoden auf ethische Theorien. In seinem Beitrag untersucht Wilfried Hinsch den Begriff der »wohlgeordneten Gesellschaft« bei John Rawls und stellt in diesem Zusammenhang die unterschiedlichen Konsensbegriffe bei Kant und bei Hobbes einander gegenüber.

    Beschreibung: Can computer scientists contribute to the solution of societal problems? Can logic help to model social interactions? Are there recipes for making groups with diverging preferences arrive at reasonable decisions? Why is common knowledge important for social interaction? Does the rational pursuit of individual interests put the public interest in danger, and if so, why? Discourses on Social Software sheds light on these and similar questions. This book offers the reader an ideal introduction to the exciting new field of social software. It shows in detail the many ways in which the seemingly abstract sciences of logic and computer science can be put to use to analyse and solve contemporary social problems. The unusual format of a series of discussions among a logician, a computer scientist, a philosopher and some researchers from other disciplines encourages the reader to develop his own point of view. The only requirements for reading this book are a nodding familiarity with logic, a curious mind, and a taste for spicy debate. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: Der neueste Band der Wirtschaftsethischen Perspektiven enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge zweier Sitzungen des Ausschusses "Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik" im Verein für Socialpolitik. Dieser Ausschuss setzt sich aus Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern sowie Philosophen und Theologen zusammen. Ingo Pies stellt im ersten Aufsatz das Forschungsprogramm einer ökonomischen Theorie der Moral zur Diskussion. Peter Weise zeigt, wie durch die Interaktionen der Menschen Normen und Verhaltensregelmäßigkeiten evolutorisch und selbstorganisatorisch entstehen können. Joachim Wiemeyers Beitrag zur Ordnung des Arbeitsmarktes versucht, die Diskrepanz zwischen dem dominierenden ökonomischen Ansatz und den vorherrschenden gesellschaftlichen Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen zu erklären. Volker Arnold zeigt in einem Modell internationalen Steuerwettbewerbs, warum es aus Effizienzgründen sinnvoll ist, Arbeits- und Kapitaleinkommen unterschiedlich zu besteuern. Udo Ebert diskutiert unter dem Leitbild einer lorenz-gerechten Besteuerung grundlegende Prinzipien der Haushaltsbesteuerung. Hans-Peter Weikard geht der Frage nach, ob in einer umlagefinanzierten Rentenversicherung Kindererziehung einen Einfluss auf den Beitrag oder auf den Rentenanspruch haben sollte. Wolfgang Schmitz beschäftigt sich mit dem österreichischen Familienlastenausgleichgesetz aus dem Blickwinkel der Institutionen- und Systemeethik. Ulrich Gähde zeigt, dass die wissenschaftstheoretischen Einsichten, die in die Struktur und Funktionsweise erfahrungswissenschaftlicher Gedankenexperimente gewonnen wurden, auch für die ethische Diskussion von grundlegender Bedeutung sind. Wulf Gaertner stellt im letzten Beitrag die Frage, welche Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen Studenten der Wirtschaftswissenschaften aufweisen. Die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes lassen ein weites Spektrum an Fragestellungen erkennen, die von methodischen Grundfragen im Verhältnis von Ethik und Ökonomik über Probleme der Steuer- und Verteilungsgerechtigkeit bis hin zu aktuellen wirtschafts- und gesellschaftspolitischen Themen reichen.

    Beschreibung: Der vorliegende Band enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge der Sitzung des Ausschusses »Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik« im »Verein für Socialpolitik«, die vom 9. bis 11. März 1995 in Bern stattgefunden hat. Er beginnt mit einer sehr grundsätzlichen »Suche« von Hans-Balz Peter nach »Kriterien für die Wirtschaftsethik«. Hans-Peter Weikard unterzieht sodann die faktisch vorgenommene »Privatisierung volkseigenen Bodens in den neuen Bundesländern« einer grundsätzlichen rechts- und sozialphilosophischen Betrachtung. Der Zusammenhang von Verteilungs- und Allokationsfragen wird auch in dem anschließenden Beitrag von Volker Arnold über »Einkommensumverteilung - ein Weg zur Stabilisierung marktwirtschaftlicher Systeme?« thematisiert. Grundsätzliche Überlegungen zur »Verteilungsgerechtigkeit aus volkswirtschaftlicher Sicht« entwickelt sodann Johannes Hackmann, indem er einerseits auf die Bedeutung distributiver Fragen auch im Hinblick auf allokative Wirkungen hinweist und zum anderen die vorherrschende utilitaristische Sicht in bezug auf die Verteilungsprobleme als unzureichend charakterisiert. Die Reihe der unternehmensethischen Beiträge beginnt mit Peter Ulrichs »Versuch der Klärung eines unerledigten wirtschaftsethischen Grundproblems« - nämlich der Beziehung zwischen »Unternehmensethik und 'Gewinnprinzip'«. In seinen »Betrachtungen zum Verhältnis zwischen Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Unternehmensethik« untersucht Jean-Paul Thommen dieses Beziehungsfeld zunächst in dogmenhistorischer Perspektive. Margit Osterloh unternimmt sodann zunächst einen Vergleich der unternehmensethischen Konzeptionen von Steinmann/Löhr, Ulrich und Homann. Der abschließende Beitrag von Michael Schramm widmet sich der Frage, ob Gary S. Beckers ökonomischer Ansatz ein Taschenspielertrick sei. Die Beiträge umfassen ein weites Spektrum an Fragestellungen mit den Schwerpunkten Unternehmensethik, Verteilungsprobleme und methodische Grundsatzüberlegungen. Es wird hierbei deutlich, daß der

    Beschreibung: The established academic discipline that is economics and migration research - as a growing sub-discipline that has inevitably transgressed its own academic bounds - have long treated each other with mutual indifference. While migration research has suffered from a normative overstretch, economics has often reduced its analytical scope to those areas that traditionally belong to the 'genuine' economic sphere. Migrants and Markets contains eleven case studies that aim to overcome this artificially imposed barrier between economics and migration research. This is accomplished by applying economic methods to migratory phenomena, using economic theories to explain migratory patterns and by approaching the structure and development of markets as integral to the shaping of stocks and flows of migrants.

    Beschreibung: Orientalism has traditionally dominated discourse on the Middle East and thus obscured the human realities of the region. This monograph addresses the inadequacy and validity of existing theoretical perspectives on the Middle East. The critique presented offers Islam as a unifying constant rather than a sporadic phenomenon correlated to the flux of social, political and economic conditions and argues that Islam should be conceptually incorporated into any analysis of the region. The book defines the essence of Islamic civilization and highlights aspects of the colonial encounter as a background for understanding contemporary dynamics. Against a subtle leitmotiv of contrasting imagery, it profiles the Islamic view of the state, the role of the faith as well as that of the community. Useful distinctions are made between the Islamic and Western approaches to the area which should prove illuminating to both the area specialist and the lay reader.

    Beschreibung: This study investigates the consequences of processes of social individualisation and economic globalisation for welfare state solidarity. Solidarity is defined as the willingness to share risks. The institutions of the welfare state, such as social security or health care insurance, are founded on the willingness of citizens to share risks and organize solidarity between the young and the old, between the healthy and the sick, between the working and the unemployed. Processes of individualisation and globalisation affect these risks and in this study the authors investigate how and to what extent these changes influence the way risks are perceived by the public, what this means for the willingness to share risks and how this is translated in risk management strategies in firms, unions and administrative agencies.

    Beschreibung: In this set of three powerful essays, the late world-renowned scholar and philosopher, Ismail Al-Faruqi, displays his formidable insight, vast knowledge, and unique trademark logic, brought to bear on subjects still considered to be at the forefront of discourse on comparative religion. Al-Faruqi delves deep into the heart of the debate on the metaphysical nature of values in the Western and Muslim traditions, of the history of religions, and other issues, ultimately to guide readers to a clarity of understanding and Islam's position in relation to them. This will interest and stimulate many readers, enlightened thinkers, modern secularists, philosophers and theologians, Muslim or otherwise as Al-Faruqi strives to arrive at an accurate assessment of the fundamentals of these important subjects, and their significance for the human condition.

Dieser Ausschuß setzt sich aus Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern sowie Philosophen und Theologen zusammen. Karl Homann sowie Johannes Hackmann beginnen den Band mit methodischen Grundsatzüberlegungen zum Verhältnis von Moral und Ökonomie, von Ethik und Ökonomik. Bruno Staffelbach erläutert drei Bereiche und zwei Funktionen der empirischen Forschung in der Unternehmensethik. Wulf Gaertner untersucht das Verhältnis von Rationalitätspostulaten und internalisierten Normen, Birger Priddat schlägt vor, die rationale Handlungstheorie durch eine Theorie der Person und deren Geschichte zu ergänzen. Wolfgang Buchholz und Christian Haslbeck analysieren Präferenzveränderungen in bezug auf ein öffentliches Umweltgut, Iris Bohnet untersucht den konsumptiven Nutzen aus dem Akt des Spendens und zeigt, daß hierbei die Bekanntheit der Nutznießer von Bedeutung ist. Hans-Peter Weikard diskutiert, ausgehend von Hobbes und Locke, drei Varianten des Gesellschaftsvertrags, die auf den Theorien von Rawls, Brennan und Buchanan sowie Nozick und Gauthier beruhen. Wilfried Hinsch beschäftigt sich mit gerechten Güterverteilungen und deren öffentlichen Rechtfertigung. Michael Schramm untersucht unterschiedliche sozialpolitische Maßnahmen, die den "unteren Bereich" des Arbeitsmarktes fördern sollen. Peter Koslowski diskutiert ein Verbot von Insider-Handel aus wirtschaftsethischer Sicht, und Werner Lachmann schließlich plädiert für objektivierbare Kriterien zur Festlegung der Abgeordnetendiäten. Mit dem vorliegenden Band wird ein weites Spektrum an Fragestellungen dokumentiert, die von methodischen Grundfragen im Verhältnis von Ethik und Ökonomik über das Problem von Kooperation und Solidarität sowie einer gerechten Güterverteilung bis hin zu aktuellen wirtschafts- und gesellschaftspolitischen Themen reichen.

    Beschreibung: Honour killings are murders that are carried out to purify tarnished honour, the honour in question being namus. Both men and women possess namus. For women and girls, namus means chastity, while for men it means having chaste female family members. Honour killing is a widely known phenomenon in Turkey, where the Hürriyet newspaper reports an average of six such killings a month. As a result of migration since the 1960s and 1970s, we also encounter it in Western Europe (the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Sweden and Denmark). This study examines in detail 20 cases of honour killing by Turks in the Netherlands. Particular attention is given to the social factors that play a role in the decision to commit a honour killing.

    Beschreibung: This book prompts a fresh look on immigrant integration policy. Revealing just where immigrants and their receiving societies interact everyday, it shows how societal inclusion is administered and produced at a local level. The studies presented focus on three issue areas of migration policy - citizenship, welfare services and religious diversity - and consider cities in very different national contexts. Spanning Switzerland, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada, the cases display great variety in their theoretical and methodological approaches. In all the countries considered, we see that the local level has an undeniable relevance despite differences in state structures, models of integration and centre-peripheral relations. Particularly for future migration policy research, such a complex comparative exercise thus yields an important universal realisation: the local dimension of migration policymaking matters.

    Beschreibung: The results of the 2005 referendum on the Constitutional Treaty for Europe exposed dramatically the rift between the political and public opinion regarding European policymaking. It also showed that politicians had failed to function as adequate links between "Europe" and the Dutch citizens. Against this background, the authors analyse the relative lack of legitimacy of the European Union in the Netherlands and advise on means of shoring up its image going beyond traditional institutional approaches.

Wissen wird in Gesellschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft auf unterschiedliche Weise institutionalisiert. Daher beeinflussen konkrete Institutionen die Entstehung, den Transfer und die Koordination von Wissen. Wissen selbst ermöglicht auch die Entwicklung guter Institutionen und entfaltet seine Wirkungen in Wirtschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft. In einem ersten Teil werden Institutionen identifiziert und analysiert, die zur Entstehung und Koordinierung von Wissen beitragen. Der zweite Teil fasst Beiträge zusammen, die Wissen als Element gesellschaftlicher und politischer Institutionen untersuchen. Im dritten Teil wird Wissen als eine der Determinanten der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung ausgelotet und dabei wiederum nach dem institutionellen Fundament und den Wirkungen gefragt.

    Beschreibung: This illuminating book examines the origins and evolution of labor market policy in Western Europe in three phases: a manpower revolution during the 1960s and 1970s; a phase of international disagreement about the causes of and remedies for unemployment, which triggered a variety of policy responses in the late 1970s and 1980s; and, finally, the emergence of an activation paradigm in the late 1990s, the influence of which continues to reverberate today. J. Timo Weishaupt contends that the evolution of labor market policy is determined not only by historical trajectories or coalitional struggles, but also by policy makers' changing normative and cognitive beliefs. Including case studies of Austria, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, this study will be of value to anyone interested in labor market policy and its governance.

    Beschreibung: This volume explores the concept of Japanese reproductive rights and liberties in light of recent developments in disability studies. Masae Kato asks important questions about what constitutes personhood and how, in the twenty-first century, we come to understand eugenic abortion and other bioethical arguments. Tracing the origin and influence of the concept of a "right," the author places the term in local social and historical contexts in order to determine that it still carries overtones of Anglo-American philosophy, rather than universal truth. Digging deeply into Japanese debates on selective abortion, Women's Right? discusses how this charged term can be both de-Westernized and de-masculinized, especially in its appropriations by the Japanese women's movement and disability scholars.

    Beschreibung: This work studies the position of the Sunnah in Islam and its fundamental relationship to the Qur’an. The author carefully examines the sensitive issue of the development of the oral and written traditions, the problems scholars faced despite painstaking work verifying the authenticity of reports, the character of narrators, etc. and the evergrowing complexity of a body of narratives that were making the simplicity and clarity of the Prophet’s life, words, and actions, a burgeoning maze of information. Taking the praiseworthy intention and effort to emulate the Prophet into account, the author nevertheless makes the case that once the Sunnah had been collected, the Muslim community began to neglect the Qur’an in favor of narrations of what the Prophet had done and said on the pretext that such narratives “contained" the Qur’an. Eventually they then abandoned the Sunnah narratives in favor of Islamic jurisprudence on the pretext that Islamic juristic texts tacitly included both the Qur’an and the Sunnah. It is with the aim of restoring the relationship between the two that this work has been written, that is, the Prophetic Sunnah must be tied inextricably to the Qur’an in a way that allows for no contradiction or conflict between the two, to avoid misapplication and abuse of hadith, and to meet the requirements and challenges of a new age.

    Beschreibung: This study illustrates why the language of the Qur'an is miraculous, unique, and evidence of divine authority. The author compares the language of the Qur'an with the language of preIslamic poetry, the Prophet's words (hadith), and the language of the Arabs both past and present, to demonstrate that although the Qur'an was revealed in Arabic it was at the same time an Arabic which was entirely new. Original and early Muslim audiences viewed this as miraculous and responded to the Qur'an's words, sounds, rhythms, etc. in a manner consistent with a deeper appreciation of its beauty and majesty which modern ears, trained by familiarity, and despite being surrounded by all manner of dictionaries and studies, are at a loss to capture. The author attempts to remove this veil and present the Qur'an to readers as if hearing it for the first time, to bring to life some of this wonder. In doing so he guides readers to appreciate the beauty of the Qur'an, to become more immersed in it, and to have a clearer understanding of its structure and flow. Devoting special attention to Surah Al Muddaththir (Chapter 74), to underpin his analysis, Saeh thus brings the Revelation to life, to demonstrate that each surah has distinct features and characteristics that make it stand out uniquely within the design and sweep of the whole.

    Beschreibung: In May 2004 ten new Member States joined the European Union. This enlargement has greatly increased the diversity of historic experiences and contemporary conceptions of statehood, nation-building and citizenship within the Union. In contrast with the old Member States, many of the new ones have not existed as independent states within their present borders for more than two generations. Citizenship Policies in the New Europe describes the citizenship laws in each of the ten new countries and analyses their historical background. Turkey has been added as the largest source country of immigration into the fifteen old Member States because it illustrates the increasing interaction between citizenship laws in migrant sending and receiving countries. Citizenship Policies in the New Europe complements two volumes on Acquisition and Loss of Nationality published earlier in the same series and that present comparative analyses of citizenship regulations in the fifteen old Member States. Citizenship Policies in the New Europe is part of the IMISCOE Research series. Two other publications on the same subject, "http://www.aup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_book&isbn=9789053569498"〉Acquisition and Loss of Nationality, were released earlier this year.

    Beschreibung: Never before in history was the interaction between people and their natural environment as complex and problematic as it is today. A proliferation of scientific research has yielded valuable insights into various aspects of this interaction from the angle of many disciplines - the natural sciences, the social sciences, archaeology and history, ecological studies. The diversity of approaches has created a need for synthesis, for a study that transcends the boundaries of traditional fields of study. In this volume, authors from various academic backgrounds discuss the relations between human society and its physical environment in the course of history, highlighting a number of significant periods, throughout the world. The last chapter assesses our present situation and prospects for the future in the light of theoretical reflections based on the evidence from the past.

    Beschreibung: Debates on immigrant integration often center on "national models of integration," a concept that reflects the desire of both researchers and policy makers to find common ground. This book challenges the idea that there has ever been a coherent or consistent Dutch model of integration and asserts that though Dutch society has long been seen as exemplary for its multiculturalism-and argues that the incorporation of migrants remains one of the country's most pressing social and political concerns. In addition to an analysis of how immigration is framed and reframed through diverse dialogues, the author provides a highly dynamic overview of integration policy and its evolution alongside migration research.

    Beschreibung: The subject of this work is thought, a distinguishing characteristic of human beings that the Creator has dignified humankind with. The book attempts to provide an in-depth conceptualization of intellectual building. Man’s intellect is awoken by his/her surroundings, by his need to make sense of reality, his own existence, and a desire to know. How he articulates this reality to himself, interprets, and organizes information as it presents itself to his conscience, makes decisions, takes action, and draws conclusions based on whatever framework he gives value to, whether spiritual or other, is the subject of this book. The work reflects on many interesting aspects of human inner communication, including the workings of logic, and in today’s information age, the control and manipulation of information by others for personal gain. What is meant by the concept of ‘thought’? What place does it hold, and in what relation does it stand to the concepts of knowledge, culture, philosophy, literature, and fiqh (deep understanding, jurisprudence)? These are some of the issues addressed.

    Beschreibung: This volume contains thirty-five papers from a 2010 conference on landscape archaeology focusing on the definition of landscape as used by processual archaeologists, earth scientists, and most historical geographers, in contrast to the definition favored by postprocessual archaeologists, cultural geographers, and anthropologists. This tension provides a rich foundation for discussion, and the papers in this collection cover a variety of topics including: how do landscapes change; how to improve temporal, chronological, and transformational frameworks; how to link lowlands with mountainous areas; applications of scale; new directions in digital prospection and modeling techniques; and the future of landscape archaeology.

    Beschreibung: Ton de Leeuw (1926-96) is probably one of the most influential composers at the crossroads between Eastern philosophy and Western technique. A one-time pupil of Olivier Messiaen's in Paris, throughout the latter years of his musical career he concentrated on the marriage of Western emphasis on action and tension, and the ethical function of music in Eastern traditions. The musical world of the twentieth century is a divided one. Numerous histories of it have been written, but few of the exceptional quality of de Leeuw's, who brought into his writing a lifetime of experience as a composer and scholar of music. His work is a lucid and impassioned discussion of the elements, structures, compositional principles and terminologies in modern music that can be regarded as most innovatory. This book is an excellent guide for anyone wishing to gain knowledge of the compositional technique and mentality, particularly university and conservatory students.

    Beschreibung: In order to ensure sustainable use of their shared marine resources, the nations of the West Caribbean Region must adopt an approach that encompasses both the human and natural dimensions of ecosystems. This volume directly contributes to that vision, bringing together the collective knowledge and experience of scholars and practitioners within the wider Caribbean to assemble a road map towards marine ecosystem based management for the region. The research presented here will be used not only as a training tool for graduate students, but also as comparative example and guide for stakeholders and policy makers in each of the world's sixty-four large marine ecosystems.

    Beschreibung: Across the Muslim world today, if anything is selfevident across the Muslim world today it is that the Ummah is badly in need of reform. On this point it can be stated with confidence that Muslims are agreed. Poverty and injustice characterize the face of Muslim lands from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Pollution and corruption are the order of the day in the societies where the gulf between them and the developed countries of the world has never been wider. Politics in the Muslim world are all too often the politics of deprivation, and culture the culture of despair. “Crisis in the Muslim Mind" examines the intellectual and historical roots of the malaise that has encompassed the Ummah and threatens to efface its identity. First published in Arabic in 1991, this important work (in an abridged English translation) is designed to familiarize educated and concerned Muslims with the nature of the crisis confronting them, and to suggest the steps necessary to overcome it.

    Beschreibung: The two most recent EU enlargements in May 2004 and in January 2007 have greatly increased the diversity of historic experiences and contemporary conceptions of statehood, nation-building and citizenship within the Union. How did newly formed states determine who would become their citizens? How do countries relate to their large emigrant communities, to ethnic kin minorities in neighbouring countries and to minorities in their own territory? And to which extent have their citizenship policies been affected by new immigration and integration into the European Union? Citizenship Policies in the New Europe describes the citizenship laws in each of the twelve new countries as well as in the accession states Croatia and Turkey and analyses their historical background. Citizenship Policies in the New Europe complements two volumes on Acquisition and Loss of Nationality in the fifteen old Member States published in the same series in 2006.

    Beschreibung: Over the past twenty years international migration issues have gained a growing importance in public debate in most of the European countries. Public opinions are more and more concerned about the arrival of new immigrants and about the problems of integration processes. International Migration in Europe addresses some of the new aspects of European international migration. Different aspects are considered and different disciplinary perspectives are used in the fifteen chapters. In particular, attention has been devoted to analyse new forms of migration, the evolution of regional patterns, the intergenerational process of migrant integration and the use of special survey in migration studies.

    Beschreibung: Der vorliegende Band enthält die überarbeiteten und ausschussintern - anonym - begutachteten Beiträge eines großen Teiles der Vorträge, die während zweier Sitzungen des Ausschusses "Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik" im Verein für Socialpolitik gehalten worden sind. Die Sitzungen fanden in den Jahren 2002 und 2003 in Erfurt und Oldenburg statt. In diesem Ausschuss diskutierten Volks- und Betriebswirte, Philosophen und Theologen beider Konfessionen sowohl theoretische wie auch praxisbezogene Themen mit wirtschafts- und unternehmensethischen Bezügen. Die Beiträge des nunmehr vorliegenden siebten Bandes der "Wirtschaftsethischen Perspektiven" enthalten mit Themen zur Gentechnik und zur medizinischen Ethik einen Schwerpunkt (Steinvorth, Neumärker, Staffelbach und Pohl-Eckerstorfer, Aumann und Gaertner). Darüber hinaus wurde aber auch erneut ein weites Spektrum an Fragestellungen behandelt: Methodische Grundsatzfragen der Wirtschafts- und der Unternehmensethik (Sautter, Homann, Pies, Suchanek), Probleme der Messung von Ungleichheiten (Ebert), Verteilungsfragen (Sturn) sowie empirische Fragen der Unternehmensethik (Tebroke). Insgesamt gesehen zeugt der Band einerseits von dem Bemühen des Ausschusses, die Wirtschaftsethik in die moderne Ökonomik zurückzuholen, und andererseits Fragen anderer Disziplinen mit ökonomischem Bezug mit den Methoden der Ökonomik zu behandeln.

    Beschreibung: Der vorliegende Band "Wirtschaftsethische Perspektiven VI" enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge des Großteils der Vorträge, die während zweier Sitzungen des Ausschusses "Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik" im Verein für Socialpolitik in Regensburg (2000) und in Hamburg (2001) gehalten worden sind. In diesem Ausschuss, dem Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Philosophen und Theologen der beiden großen christlichen Kirchen angehören, werden seit vielen Jahren sowohl theoretische wie auch praktische Problemstellungen der Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik aus den verschiedenen Blickwinkeln heraus interdisziplinär diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse der vorangegangenen Diskussionen sind in den "Wirtschaftsethischen Perspektiven I-V" dokumentiert. Die Beiträge des neuesten Bandes der "Wirtschaftsethischen Perspektiven" enthalten mit Themen zu "Korruption, Bestechung und Strafe" einen ersten Schwerpunkt. Probleme der Steuer- und Verteilungsgerechtigkeit werden sodann aus der Sicht der Finanzwissenschaft und der katholischen Soziallehre diskutiert. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden Abhandlungen über wichtige Fragen der Umweltethik. Wie weit darüber hinaus das Spektrum der im Ausschuss diskutierten Problemfelder ist, zeigen die Beiträge zu den Wurzeln des Besitzindividualismus, die bereits in der Spätscholastik zu finden sind, zur Frage nach einer Verbesserung der Marktchancen der Katholischen Kirche durch ein identitätsorientiertes Kirchenmarketing und zum Spannungsfeld zwischen Individual- und Institutionenethik, das unter dem zentralen Gesichtspunkt der Abwanderungskosten analysiert wird. Alle Beiträge haben ein ausschussinternes Gutachterverfahren durchlaufen.

    Beschreibung: Modern societies cannot exist without roads, dams, drinking water, telephone networks and electricity. The recent decades of privatization and globalization have put infrastructural providers at a distance from the influence of government. A lot of the actors in this field no longer act on a regional or national level alone, but are simultaneously active on multiple levels. The essays in this timely book consider the various intersections of public interest, strategic activity and private equity from economic, legal, administrative and technical perspectives. The contributors outline the challenges which future governments will need to meet nationally and globally, such as climate change, reduction of CO2 emissions and global capital flows, to name but a few.

    Beschreibung: What is the legally prescribed penalty, if any, for apostasy (alriddah), and how does this relate to the demand for religious tolerance as stipulated in verse 2:256 of the Qur’an “There shall be no compulsion in matters of faith"? It is an established fact that the Prophet never, in his entire life, put an apostate to death. Yet, the issue remains one of the most controversial to have afflicted the Muslim world down the centuries. It is also the source of much damaging media coverage today as Islamic jurisprudence stands accused of a flagrant disregard for human rights and freedom of expression. The subject of this book is a highly sensitive and important one. The author rightly concentrates on evidence, to examine the historical origins of the debate in rigorous detail, as well as the many moral and contextual issues surrounding it. Disputing arguments put forward by proponents of the death penalty he contends that both the Qur’an and the Sunnah promote freedom of belief including the act of exiting the Faith and do not support capital punishment for the sin of alriddah. Note that attention is on the word sin, for there is qualification: as long as one’s apostasy has not been accompanied by anything else that would be deemed a criminal act, particularly in terms of national security, then according to the author, it remains a matter strictly between God and the individual. Of interest is the fact that the Qur’an significantly refers to individuals repeatedly returning to unbelief after having believed, but does not mention that they should be killed or punished. This work has been written at a time of great complexity and vulnerability when a true understanding of the higher intents and values of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, maqasid alshariah, is sorely needed. The author employs a strong evidence based approach examining in detail the Qur’an and authentic Hadith, taking into consideration traditional approaches to the study of the Islamic textual sciences and other fields of knowledge, as well as analyzing scholastic interpretation. Taking the life of a person without just cause is according to the Qur’an equivalent to the killing of the whole of mankind. It is vital therefore, that in the interests of compassion and justice, as well as freedom of belief, this subject is clearly addressed once and for all.

    Beschreibung: In diesem Buch werden aktuelle Themen der Wirtschaftsethik in Zeiten der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise behandelt. In den ersten vier Beiträgen werden grundlegende Fragen zur theoretischen Positionierung der Wirtschaftsethik im Spannungsfeld zwischen Ethik als Teildisziplin der Philosophie und Wirtschaftswissenschaft als Sozialwissenschaft gestellt und teilweise unterschiedlich beantwortet. Drei weitere Aufsätze widmen sich speziell dem Problem der Finanzkrise, die am Anfang der »Großen Rezession« stand; auch weiterhin sind die Finanzmärkte und ihre Regulierung eine »Baustelle« für Wirtschaftspolitik und Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Im Bereich der Finanzmärkte ist die Diskrepanz zwischen manchen Annahmen und Aussagen der Wirtschaftstheorie wie etwa der Theorie effizienter Märkte einerseits und den tatsächlichen Vorgängen in dieser Branche besonders augenfällig. Die letzten drei Beiträge behandeln Probleme der Ethik auf der Ebene des Betriebs und jener der Volkswirtschaft.

    Beschreibung: The Quran speaks of living with each other on a footing of love, kindness, mercy and mutual consultation between husband and wife. It also addresses those times when the atmosphere is strained. This paper examines the issue of marital discord with a deep sensitivity to the perspective of women. Criticizing an approach to the Quran that is misogynistic rather than emancipatory the paper moves the debate forward by introducing an alternative interpretation of the Quranic text dealing with the issue of marital discord. The explanation is fresh, firmly on the side of women’s human rights and recaptures the full Islamic spirit of human dignity.

    Beschreibung: Antisemitism is an exceptional historical phenomenon. Its history goes back at least 2000 years and has manifested itself in many countries and in a wide range of societies. However, it is not a universal phenomenon. Many countries have no tradition of anti-Semitism and even in those where anti-Semitism periodically raises its head, there have been long periods where it appears to have lain dormant. But it has never altogether disappeared, and all the large-scale social changes of the past two millennia have given it extra impetus. This definitive study tackles the complex roots and manifestations of anti-Semitism over the centuries, tracing the rise of anti-Jewish stereotypes and the circumstances in which racial prejudice may have tragic concequences. This book will quickly become a classic text for students and researchers in this persistent and worldwide prejudice. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: In der Volkswirtschaftslehre erkennt man immer mehr, dass die klassische Figur des eigennützigen und rational handelnden Homo Oeconomicus zur Erklärung individuellen Verhaltens nur begrenzt geeignet ist. Es wird deutlich, dass auch moralische Motive das menschliche Handeln bestimmen und für das Gelingen und die Aktivierung einer erfolgreichen sozialen Interaktion in Markt und Staat unentbehrlich sind. Insbesondere die Finanzkrise und das Problem des Klimawandels führen in jüngster Zeit nachdrücklich vor Augen, dass mittlerweile auch wirtschaftsethische Fragestellungen eine globale Dimension erreicht haben. Der vorliegende Band beleuchtet einige Hauptthemen der global orientierten Wirtschaftsethik und liefert dabei gleichzeitig einen Überblick über die aktuelle Ausrichtung der wirtschaftsethischen Forschung im deutschen Sprachraum. Dabei geht es unter anderem um Aspekte der Corporate Governance, um Anreizsysteme, faire Managerentlohnung in global agierenden Unternehmen und um berufsständische Ordnungen als historischen Gegenentwurf. Zum Gegenstand werden zudem die Arzneimittelversorgung für arme Länder als Maßnahme des sozialen Ausgleichs auf Weltebene, die Gerechtigkeit zwischen den Generationen als Ziel der globalen Klimapolitik sowie die Legitimierung wirtschaftsethischer Normen durch gesellschaftlichen Diskurs gemacht.

Dieser Ausschuss ist interdisziplinär besetzt (er setzt sich zusammen aus Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern, Philosophen und Theologen) und beschäftigt sich mit Problemstellungen der Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik. Die Ergebnisse früherer Ausschusssitzungen stehen in den Wirtschaftsethischen Perspektiven I-VII zur Verfügung. Das Spektrum der Beiträge des hier vorliegenden VIII. Bandes ist weit gespannt: Die Autorinnen und Autoren beschäftigen sich sowohl mit mehr theoretischen (Schramm, Haase, Nutzinger, Jähnichen) als auch mehr praxisbezogenen (Emunds, Grosse) Themen der Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik. Darüber hinaus werden Fragen der internationalen Kooperation und Globalisierung behandelt (Pies / Voigt, Lachmann, Hielscher / Pies). Außerdem sind Beiträge zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung (Suchanek) und zur optimalen Entwicklung einer Bevölkerung (Hackmann) zu finden. Alle Beiträge haben einen ausschussinternen Referierungsprozess durchlaufen.

    Beschreibung: This analytic study surveys the transformations of elderly care policies and practices since the early 1990s, by comparing the trajectories of two extremely different care systems: Italy, a familialistic model with no relevant changes in social policies; and the Netherlands, a formal care model under restructuring. The author demonstrates that, in spite of strong policy pressures, the Dutch system remains a formal care model and represents a case of institutional and social resistance to welfare restructuring By contrast, the Italian system has shifted from family-based to a mix of family- and market-based model, despite the absence of substantial policy intervention. She argues that the ongoing changes need to be seen from a micro-to-macro perspective, considering the choices and strategies of the actors that are limited and conditioned by the institutional framework, but also represent possible forces of social change.

    Beschreibung: Synthesizing almost thirty years of Dutch archaeological research in central and southern Italy, this book discusses and compares settlement and land use patterns from the late protohistoric period to the late Roman Republic. Considering both social and environmental factors, the authors analyze the long-term progression of indigenous Bronze Age tribal pastoralist societies towards the complexity of urbanized Roman society. Drawing on a decade of collaboration between Dutch and Italian researchers, this exhaustive study will be of great interest to students and scholars of Mediterranean archaeology.

    Beschreibung: Muslims are enjoined, along with the rest of humanity, to “read" the two great Books of Revelation and Creation, i.e. the Qur’an and the natural world. Reading one without the other will result in an imbalance detrimental to the existence (and prosperity) of humankind on earth, indeed to the divine purpose in the cosmos. A Thematic Commentary by the late Shaykh alGhazali is a significant contribution to the first reading, i.e. that of the Qur’an the repository of divine truth and enlightenment. Already of course there is a wealth, an abundance, of exegetical work on the Qur’an. But while early scholars endeavored to elucidate many linguistic, historical, and miraculous aspects of the sacred and challenging text, alGhazali’s contribution is somewhat unique (and modern) in the sense that it focuses on the organic unity of each surah (chapter) highlighting the logic or inherent reasoning that courses through the surah and unifies its various components and images. No exegesis is by itself sufficient for a full understanding of the Qur’an. But this work is an indispensable companion in the quest for a better comprehension of, and a closer affinity with, the sacred text.

    Beschreibung: Considering that the accepted juridical sources of Islam are valid for all times and places, ijtihad may be described as a creative but disciplined intellectual effort to derive legal rulings from those sources while taking into consideration the variables imposed by the fluctuating circumstances of Muslim society. Consigning ijtihad to be annals of history is a denial of the rationalistic, egalitarian, and humane aspects of a realistic and durable Faith. The act would be a repudiation of the requisites of changing times and of the clamoring need to rid the Ummah of its present baggage of malaise and enable it to forge ahead, inspiring other nations and communities. It can be proved historically that the Ummah only entered its current crisis after ijtihad fell into disuse and was gradually replaced by taqlid. It is only through ijtihad that Muslims will be able to construct a new specific methodological infrastructure capable of addressing the crisis of Islamic thought and so, propose alternatives for the many problems of the contemporary world. The courage that needs to accompany such a mission is tremendous, the methodology massive an meticulous. With this work, Dr. Al-Alwani has contributed to the debate on this vital issue. The very way he tackled it sometimes with boldness, sometimes with cautionshows that the debate is not an openand shut issue, and that it needs to be widen quickly in view of the urgency of the situation.

    Beschreibung: The question of bias in methodology and terminology is a problem that faces researchers east, west, north and south; however, it faces Third World intellectuals with special keenness. For although they write in a cultural environment that has its own specific conceptual and cultural paradigms, they nevertheless encounter a foreign paradigm which attempts to impose itself upon their society and upon their very imagination and thoughts. When the term “developmental psychology" for instance is used in the West Arab scholars also say “developmental psychology", when “applied psychology" is mentioned they hurry to use the same term etc. Why not establish a new science with its own mechanisms, methodologies and points of reference to deal with epistemological biases and open up the gate of ijtihad with respect to them? This collection of papers aims to discover some of the biases latent in our terminology, methodologies, research tools, and conceptual principles, and to propose alternative ones marked by a greater degree of independence and neutrality. This is not to belittle the human value of the West’s creative contributions but to emphasize the danger of making it the ultimate point of reference and then trying to continuously play “catch up" with it.

    Beschreibung: A social revolution has taken place in Europe. Women's employment patterns changed drastically the last decades. But they are still different across Europe. Welfare state scholars often presume that diversity and change in women's employment across Europe is based on financial (dis) incentive structures embedded in welfare states. This book shows, by in depth analyses of women's (and men's) employment and care patterns as well as child care services, taxation, leave schemes and social security in four different welfare states (the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium) that this logic does not hold. A mother is not primarily the homo economicus welfare state scholars tend to presume. 'to work or to care 'is above all a moral predicament. What explains better the differences in Europe is to place care centrally and analyse welfare states as cultural agents. In the case of caring and paid employment, welfare states send culturally-defined moral images of good-enough caring in the form of ideals of care. An ideal of care implies a definition of what is good care and who gives it. These ideals of care are embedded in welfare states and their regulations, laws and implementation processes. Each welfare state promotes specific ideals of care. Cultural explanations downplay the role of the state too much. Culture, as is shown, is located within rather than outside the welfare state. The welfare state is not only a notary drawing contracts between the state and citizens or a merchant connecting supply and demand, but also a priest. This book shows, by studying care policy in welfare states, that social policy has an impact on women's and men's division of labour and care. But especially when welfare states are not seen as a financial structures only, but as cultural catalysts. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: Bereits Adam Smith weist darauf hin, dass gute politische Institutionen Wachstum und Entwicklung fördern. Was aber sind gute politische Institutionen, und warum haben sie sich in verschiedenen Ländern unterschiedlich entwickelt? Diese Fragen leiten die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes. Im Zentrum des ersten Teils steht der Zusammenhang zwischen Institutionen und Wirtschaftswachstum. Es wird untersucht, warum gerade Europa es geschafft hat, sich frühzeitig weit über das Subsistenzniveau zu erheben, und gefragt, warum die fehlende Internalisierung externer Effekte dazu führen kann, dass Sozialproduktskonzepte bei der Wohlfahrtsmessung Ungenauigkeiten aufweisen. Der zweite Teil ist einigen qualitativen Aspekten des Wirtschaftswachstums gewidmet. Geprüft wird, was wir über die Qualität der Institutionen wissen. Die Autoren fragen weiterhin, in welche Architektur eine zukünftige Klimapolitik nach Kyoto eingebettet sein sollte. Darüber hinaus werden die Interdependenzbeziehung zwischen Rechtsstaat und Marktwirtschaft und ihre Wirksamkeit im Postkommunismus analysiert. Im Fokus des dritten Teils steht der Zusammenhang zwischen Institutionen und wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung in China. Was lässt sich aus dem "Fall China" für die institutionenökonomische Analyse lernen? Welche Rolle spielen Sozialkapital und soziale Netzwerke für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Chinas?

    Beschreibung: Die rasanten Entwicklungen im Bereich der Human- und Fortpflanzungsmedizin haben unsere traditionellen Vorstellungen bezüglich des Entstehens des menschlichen Lebens, der Schwangerschaft und Mutterschaft radikal verändert und sie erregen zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit. Aufgrund der Entwicklungen neuer Methoden in der Reproduktionsmedizin und der durch sie ermöglichten stetig zunehmenden Zugriffsmöglichkeiten in das vorgeburtliche Leben ist die Suche nach einer Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Lebensbeginn wichtiger geworden, um markieren zu können, ab wann der Embryo in vitro rechtlichen Schutz genießt und, damit verbunden, um die Zulässigkeit von Eingriffen an menschlichen Embryonen bestimmen zu können. Diese Untersuchung kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass es notwendig ist, ein umfassendes und präzises Fortpflanzungsmedizingesetz zu normieren, weil das ESchG viele Lücken und Unklarheiten aufweist und durch neue medizinische Fortschritte an einigen Stellen überholt wird.»Protecting the Life of the Embryo In Vitro« This book explores the question of when exactly human life begins and benefits from protection of life. To address the issue of protection of human life, the hotly debated question of the legal status of the embryo is examined. This research concludes that because The Embryo Protection Act has many gaps and confusions, and in some places has failed to catch up with the new medical advances, it is necessary to make a comprehensive and precise reproductive medicine law.

    Beschreibung: The book is a program which seeks to construct an intellectual framework for Islamic methodology with a view to realizing practical training in the thoughtful investigation of issues related to knowledge in various fields. The book’s title affirms the distinctive types of integration that characterize Islamic methodology, including integration of sources, means, and schools of thought, as well as existing realities with desired ideals etc. This is fully consistent with human nature, as variety is fundamental to the functions people perform and skills they master. The work essentially makes the case that fundamental to any Muslim recovery is laying the foundations of sound thinking and values that integrate the two main sources of knowledge: Revelation and Reality (that is the created worlds both physical, societal and psychological) under the umbrella of Tawhid. This concept of integration implies using both human theoretical conceptualization and practical experimental investigation whilst also affirming the need to apply human capabilities in understanding the divine text, and acquiring sound knowledge of the physical world in terms of its resources, as well as accumulated past and present human experiences. The aim being to vitalize human potential and creativity.

    Beschreibung: For the first time, Muslims are faced with a worldwide positivism which is working to use knowledge, the sciences and their discoveries and achievements in a manner which severs the relationship between the Creator, the created universe and man, thereby disregarding the world of the unseen and driving a wedge between science and values. Lacking even the most modest store of vital Islamic doctrine on the intellectual level, university students and researchers in the Islamic world are confronted with doctrines and philosophies which are presented to them together with a flimsy, miserable defense of Islam. There is not a single academic institution in the Islamic world in which Islamic thought is taught and in which the Islamic vision is given a deeprooted foundation with the same force and persuasiveness with which Western ideas and the Western vision are taught to students in the West, in a coherent, comprehensive manner accompanied by seriousness and commitment on the part of all. The books argues that this approach is diametrically opposed to the Islamic perspective and that we must disengage human scientific achievement from positivistic philosophical premises and reemploy these sciences within a systematic epistemological framework based on divine revelation, conferring honor upon all forms of knowledge, as having been bestowed upon man by their Creator.

    Beschreibung: Why do some migrants integrate quickly, while others become long-term minorities? What is the role of the state in the settlement process? To what extent are experiences in the past different from the present? Are the recent migrants really integrating in another way than those in the past? Is Islam indeed an obstacle to integration? These are some of the burning questions, which dominate the current politicized debate on immigration in Western Europe. In this book, leading historians and social scientists analyze and compare a variety of settlement processes in past and present migration to Western Europe. Identifying general factors in the process of adaptation of new immigrants, the contributors trace social changes effected by recent European immigration, and the parallels with the great American migration of the 1880s-1920s. The history of migration to Western Europe and the way these migrants found their place in the receiving societies, is not only essential to understand the way nations deal with newcomers in the present, but also constitutes a highly interesting laboratory for different paths of integration now and then. By analyzing and comparing a wealth of settlement processes both in the past and in the present this book is both a bold interdisciplinary endeavor, and at the same time the first attempt to identify general factors underlying the way migrants adapt to their new surroundings, as well as how societies change under the influence of immigration. The chapters in the book both look at specific groups in various periods, but also analyses the structure of the state, churches unions and other important organized actors in Western European nation states. Moreover, the results are embedded in the more theoretical American literature on the comparison of old and new migrants. All chapters have an explicit comparative perspective, either by comparing different groups or different periods, whereas the general conclusion ties together the various outcomes in a systematic way, highlighting the main answers to the central questions about the various outcomes of settlement processes. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Beschreibung: Family-related migration is moving to the center of political debates on migration, integration, and multiculturalism in Europe. Still, strands of academic research on family migrations and migrant families remain separate from-and sometimes ignorant of-each other. This volume seeks to bridge the disciplinary divide. Collectively, the authors address the need to better understand the diversity of family-related migration and its resulting family forms and practices, to question simplistic assumptions about migrant families in public discourse, to study family migration from a mix of disciplinary perspectives, and to acknowledge the state's role in shaping family-related migration, practices, and lives.

    Beschreibung: Immanuel Kant hat in der »Kritik der reinen Vernunft« von 1781 und 1787 die systematische Rolle von Anschauung und Begriff nachhaltig geprägt und neu festgelegt, um objektiv gültige Erkenntnis von Scheinwissen abzugrenzen. Johann Gottlieb Fichte, der 1790 nachweislich begann, Kants neue Theorie zu studieren, hat sich auf dessen erkenntnistheoretische Vorgaben ebenso eingelassen, wie er zugleich aufbrach, um in der »Grundlage der gesammten Wissenschaftslehre« von 1794/1795 und den Wissenschaftslehren danach die Rolle von Anschauung und Begriff bald bewusstseinsphänomenologisch, bald in einem spekulativen Denken neu zu erkunden. Kant ist es, dem Fichte zahlreiche philosophische Impulse verdankte und dessen Systematik er gleichwohl schon mit der Ausarbeitung der ersten Wissenschaftslehre hinter sich ließ. Dennoch gibt es wenige Denker, denen sich Fichte so häufig und mit so großer Wertschätzung zuwendete und noch in der Distanz einer gänzlich anderen Methode in der Sache nahe bleibt.»The Role of Intuition and Notion in Johann Gottlieb Fichte. Looking Beyond Kant With Kant«: There was probably no other thinker whom Johann Gottlieb Fichte felt as connected to as Immanuel Kant. Fichte studied Kant’s critical oeuvre and his newly defined roles of intuition and notion in epistemology intensely. That also inspired impulses through which he reoriented himself methodically to grow even beyond Kant. Despite the differences, Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre is located to an astonishing extent within the horizon of Kant's theory.
