Comparative Anomie Research
Hidden Barriers - Hidden Potential for Social Development
Häftad, Engelska, 2020
375 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This title was first published in 2000: This text presents the results of a three-year study in social research, which aimed to measure and explain anomie in different parts of the world with different cultures and different socio-political and economic conditions. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were applied, and the book not only represents the projects in juxtaposition, but also attempts to show how they relate to each other. The project elaborated instruments for practical use of both public and private agents in development co-operation in order to assess the stability or instability of a given society and to orient development policies accordingly. The book aims to provide the basis for an early detection system for anomie. The main interest is intercultural setting, the detection of hidden anomic potential and the close linkages between scientific research and its applicability for development policy and practice in applied anomie research.

Migrants In Chinese Megacities: Producing Transient Urban Spaces In The Pearl River Delta

This book starts from the assumption that there is no single path of migrant integration or incorporation into the megacity. It then asks what kinds of migrant pathways into the Chinese megacity might be discovered by studying migrants' own agency. Based on over one hundred qualitative interviews conducted in the Pearl River Delta, the micro-studies in this volume show how different high-risk migrant groups (voluntary and involuntary, blue-collar and white-collar, internal and international) connect to the megacity through their everyday routines and practices, constituting and appropriating transient urban spaces. It also examines the responsiveness of the Chinese government's migration policies from the perspective of these different migrant groups. The study brings aspects of migration sociology and risk sociology into dialogue with each other and with urban China studies. Linked to ideas of the global risk society and planetary urbanisation, the study provides an empirical and theoretical building block beyond China's national development. Its findings are expected to contribute to current debates on restricting or promoting migration to (Chinese) megacities.
