This book sheds light on social policies in six South Asian countries introduced between 2003 and 2013, examining the ways in which these policies have come about, and what this reflects about the nature of the state in each of these countries. It offers a detailed analysis of the nature of these policies introduced in recent years in Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and illustrates the similarities and differences in policy approaches amongst the six countries. Through this analysis, the book explores the thesis of whether there is a particular type of ‘developmental welfare state’ that can be observed across South Asia. The focus is on social policies or policies designed to address poverty and deliver welfare at the level of programming and design, i.e. the stated intent of these policies. The book also presents an analysis of the fiscal space available in each of the six countries, thereby drawing conclusions about the financial feasibility of a ‘developmental welfare state’ model in the region. This comprehensive book uniquely explores critical aspects of policy debates on a possible move from welfare to ‘rights’. It introduces students and researchers in development studies, social policy and South Asian studies to innovative welfare programmes in South Asia and gives a new perspective on the nature and patterns of welfare in South Asia with the view of tackling inequality and promoting well-being.

As the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) pass their 2015 deadline and the international community begins to discuss the future of UN development policy, Poverty and the Millennium Development Goals brings together leading economists from both the global North and South to provide a much needed critique of the prevailing development agenda. By examining current development efforts, goals and policies, it exposes the structurally flawed and misleading measurements of poverty and hunger on which these efforts have been based, and which have led official sources to routinely underestimate the scale of world poverty even as the global distribution of wealth becomes ever more imbalanced.

Das Buch befaßt sich mit dem Grundsatz der persönlichen ärztlichen Leistungspflicht, dessen Beachtung Voraussetzung für die Liquidationsfähigkeit ambulanter ärztlicher Leistungen ist. Anhand der einschlägigen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen und der Rechtsprechung des Bundessozialgerichts wird die Ausgestaltung dieses Grundsatzes herausgearbeitet. Dabei wird besonderes Gewicht auf die Möglichkeit des Einsatzes nichtärztlicher Hilfspersonen im Rahmen der ambulanten ärztlichen Leistungserbringung gelegt, z. B. im Hinblick auf den einsatzfähigen Personenkreis, Umfang ihrer Tätigkeiten, Anforderungen an die Mitwirkung des Arztes bei der Ausführung dieser Tätigkeiten durch nichtärztliches Hilfspersonal. Die Auswirkungen der gefundenen Ergebnisse werden bei besonderen Formen der ärztlichen Leistungserbringung (z. B. Erbringung ambulanter Behandlungsmaßnahmen im Krankenhaus; Leistungserbringung in Gemeinschaftseinrichtungen von Ärzten) untersucht. Schließlich wird die Haftung des Arztes für nichtärztliche Hilfspersonen aus zivilrechtlicher Sicht (Behandlungsvertrag und unerlaubte Handlung) dargestellt. Mit diesem Buch werden dem Arzt und den Kostenträgern konkrete Anhaltspunkte für die Liquidationsfähigkeit ärztlicher Leistungen an die Hand gegeben.

Der Band gibt Einblicke in die Arbeit der "Gemeinsamen Bildungskommission BRD/DDR", die im Mai 1990 seitens beider deutscher Staaten als Beratungs- und Koordinierungsorgan eingerichtet wurde, um die Zusammenführung der beiden Bildungs- und Wissenschaftssysteme vorzubereiten. Im Zentrum der Auswahl und Analyse von Dokumenten stehen der Bereich der "Allgemeinen schulischen Bildung" und die Tätigkeit der gleichnamigen Unterkommission.Anhand von Originaldokumenten zum Verlauf der Verhandlungen sowie gestützt durch Interviews mit beiden Vorsitzenden der Kommission wird transparent, wie die im Einigungsvertrag vorgenommenen Weichenstellungen für die Schulentwicklung zustande kamen.Damit ist es erstmals möglich, weit verbreitetet Thesen über Kolonialisierung, Anpassung und Neubeginn im Schulbereich unter Bezug auf den tatsächlichen Verhandlungsverlauf zu überprüfen sowie eine empirisch gestützte Interpretation der Ausgangspunkte der schulpolitischen Entwicklung in den neuen Bundesländern vorzunehmen.
