Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Recent terms such as globalisation, virtual reality, and cyberspace indicate that the traditional notion of the geographic and the social space is changing. New Transnational Social Spaces illustrates the contemporary relationship between the social and the spatial which has emerged with new communication and transportation technologies, alongside the massive transnational movement of people.

During the last two decades transnationalism has become an important conceptual approach and research programme. However, the term has steadily become vague and indistinct underlining the need for conceptual précising as well as more defined empirical research. Rethinking Transnationalism does this in two ways. On one hand it presents theoretical contributions to the transnationalism approach and, on the other hand, it offers empirical studies in the field of the transnationalization of organizations.The book integrates outstanding international scholars of transnationalism and migration studies with specialists from a broad variety of disciplines that apply the transnationalism approach to different organizations such as NGOs, feminist networks, educational spaces and European Works Councils.Presenting an overview of transnationalism and the surrounding debates, this interdisciplinary volume will be of interest to students and scholars of Politics, International Relations, Sociology, Anthropology, Educational Sciences, Migration and Geography.
Forced Migration across Mexico
Organized Violence, Migrant Struggles, and Life Trajectories

This book analyzes the different ways in which forced migration comes together with organized violence in the Americas, focusing specifically on the migration corridor from Central America, through Mexico and on to the United States.No matter their starting point, most South and Central American migrants to the United States must eventually traverse Mexico, and often many other borders beforehand, to reach their destination. As border controls tighten, for many migrants turning back is not a possibility, or something they desire. And so, when faced with hardening policies, migrants are often forced into situations of increased violence and precarity, without a shift in their ultimate objective. This book analyzes the complex social situations of everyday violence, and increasingly aggressive border controls, which face migrants in Mexico, as well as their exposure to a different kind of violence during their migration trajectory through the criminal actors such as gangs, cartels, and corrupt law enforcements that seek to make a profit from them. The book takes a critical approach on migration policies and on the externalization of borders by analyzing their effects on the trajectories and experiences of migrants themselves. It shows that the more migrants’ opportunities and rights during transit are hindered, the more they are at risk of exposure to these actors.Foregrounding the voices of migrants, this book offers fresh insights into debates surrounding migration, politics, international relations, and anthropology in the Americas.

This book compares the life courses of forced migrants in two of the world’s most important transit countries: Turkey and Mexico. It examines the local, regional, and global contexts of their experiences, trajectories, and biographical projects, caught between return, stay, and forward movement.Forced migration has increased rapidly around the world in recent years, with Mexico and Turkey experiencing particularly high numbers of migrants, as conflict, violence, authoritarian regimes, environmental disasters, economic instability, lack of opportunity, and generalized violence have driven people to leave their homes in search of a better life. With a special focus on organized violence, this book analyzes the specific impact of organized violence on the trajectories and biographies of forced migrants, situating these life courses in the political, economic, cultural, and social contexts of the countries of origin (Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria; El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) and in the country of transit (Turkey and Mexico). Using extensive original empirical data and analysis, it argues that forced migration is a long-lasting social process based on everyday actions and social practices throughout the migration trajectory.Systematically comparing two of the world’s most important transit countries, this book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of migration, politics, international relations, and sociology.

Building on existing debates in international organizations, policy and academia, this insightful book argues for a broader transnational perspective on the concept of forced migration and its multiple contexts and catalysts. It analyzes the different social groups of forced migrants, treating them neither as passive victims nor as activist heroes, but as social actors under highly constrained conditions.Using an interdisciplinary, longitudinal approach to forced migration as a social practice, Ludger Pries and Rafael Bohlen show the multiple causes of the issue, and how the responsibility for refugee protection is usually externalized. They present a fresh life-course perspective on forced migration, exploring the everyday lives and social spaces of those who live with the protracted uncertainty of livelihoods and belonging that it generates. Finally, the book explores a wide range of possible responses to the challenges of forced migration at the policy, organizational, and civil society levels.Forced Migration is a fascinating and essential reading for social scientists studying and researching migration studies, forced displacement, and human rights. It will also appeal to practitioners, activists and politicians involved in refugee response and state policy.

Ludger Pries explores the important moral, social and political challenge facing Europe and the international community: the protection of refugees as one of the most vulnerable groups on the planet.Combining an in-depth analysis of current research, own empirical studies in several European countries, and a critical review of the policies of nation states as well as international and transnational organizations, the author analyses the 2015 so-called refugee crisis and its continuing impact. Who are the refugees, how and why did they come? Which parts of civil society were actively involved and why? What are the future responsibilities of the state for arriving refugees and their successful integration? This book examines the limitations of structural settings with perspectives on collective actors’ behaviour and strategies. Offering a critical view on the historical embedding of the refugee issue, as well as the current and future challenges for Europe, Pries provides an insightful overview of all aspects of the so-called European refugee crisis and its aftermath. Refugees, Civil Society and the State merges perspectives from political science and international relations with international humanitarian law, the sociology of migration and action theory. Scholars, journalists and political actors who want to further understand the ongoing challenge of refugee protection will greatly benefit from the distinguished author’s research.

This volume analyses civil society as an important factor in the European refugee regime. Based on empirical research, the chapters explore different aspects, structures and forms of civil society engagement during and after 2015. Various institutional, collective and individual activities are examined in order to better understand the related processes of refugees’ movements, reception and integration. Several chapters also explore the historical development of the relationship between a range of actors involved in solidarity movements and care relationships with refugees across different member states. Through the combined analysis of macro-level state and European policies, meso-level organization's activities and micro-level individual behaviour, Refugee Protection and Civil Society in Europe presents a comprehensive exploration of the refugee regime in motion, and will be of interest to scholars and students researching migration, social movements, European institutions and social work.

European and Latin American Social Scientists as Refugees, Émigrés and Return‐Migrants
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018

During the 1930s, thousands of social scientists fled the Nazi regime or other totalitarian European regimes, mainly towards the Americas. The New School for Social Research (NSSR) in New York City and El Colegio de México (Colmex) in Mexico City both were built based on receiving exiled academics from Europe.Comparing the first twenty years of these organizations, this book offers a deeper understanding of the corresponding institutional contexts and impacts of emigrated, exiled and refugeed academics. It analyses the ambiguities of scientists’ situations between emigration, return‐migration and transnational life projects and examines the corresponding dynamics of application, adaptation or amalgamation of (travelling) theories and methods these academics brought. Despite its institutional focus, it also deals with the broader context of forced migration of intellectuals and scientists in the second half of the last century in Europe and Latin America. In so doing, the book invites a deeper understanding of the challenges of forced migration for scholars in the 21st century.

Betrieblicher Wandel in der Risikogesellschaft

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit ist die seit etwa Anfang der 80er Jahre in den Sozialwissenschaften, vor allem in der Industriesoziologie, aber auch unter Praktikern aus der Politik, den Gewerkschaften, dem betrieblichen Management, dem Arbeitsmarkt-und Bildungsbereich etc. geführte Diskussion, die sich in einer ersten Annäherung durch Schlagworte wie "Dritte Industrielle Revolution", "Umbruch von Technik und Arbeit", "Ende des Taylorismus", "mikroelektronische Revolution" oder "Neuer Typ systemischer Rationalisierung" umschreiben läßt. Hierbei geht es letztlich um die Frage, wie die besondere Qualität, die Fonn und die Richtung der gegenwärtigen industriellen und betrieblichen Wandlungsprozesse zu verstehen, zu erklären und zu beurteilen sind. Auf der Grundlage umfangreichen empirischen Materials werden die aktuellen betrieblichen Umbruchprozesse in Anlehnung an U. Becks Konzept des Übergangs von der Industriegesellschaft zur "Risikogesellschaft" als reflexive Modemisierung interpretiert. Hierauf aufbauend wird ein Vorschlag zur Weiterentwicklung des konzeptionellen sozialwissenschaftlichen Betriebsverständ nisses entwickelt und der Betrieb als Handlungseinheit der stofflichen und sozialen Transfonnation von Wirklichkeit gefaßt. Die Arbeit versteht sich als Beitrag zur Empirie und Theorie betrieblicher Wandlungsprozesse.

Transnationalisierung
Theorie und Empirie grenzüberschreitender Vergesellschaftung
Häftad, Tyska, 2010
384 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Ähnlich wie vor etwas mehr als einem Jahrzehnt die Begriffe "global" und "Globalisierung" scheinen heute die Termini "transnational" und "Transnationalisierung" zu viel gebrauchten Modebegriffen zu werden. Sollen damit alle grenzüberschreitenden sozialen Beziehungen bezeichnet werden und wird Transnationalisierung damit ein neuer Catch-All-Begriff? Oder ist mit Transnationalismus ein bestimmtes und durchaus seriöses Forschungsprogramm gemeint? Vor dem Hintergrund eigener langjähriger theoretischer und empirischer Studien zum Thema zeigt Ludger Pries, dass sich die Art und Weise zwischenmenschlichen Zusammenlebens, die Vergesellschaftung der Menschen, immer stärker transnationalisiert. Der Autor zeigt dies anhand konkreter Beispiele auf den Ebenen der alltäglichen Lebenswelten, der Organisationen und gesellschaftlicher Institutionen.
Zusammenhalt durch Vielfalt?
Bindungskräfte der Vergesellschaftung im 21. Jahrhundert

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
In diesem Band bearbeiten Soziologinnen und Soziologen die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Vielfalt und Zusammenhalt im 21. Jahrhundert. Dabei werden aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln zum Teil stark variierende Antworten gegeben. Gemeinsamer Bezugspunkt ist dabei die soziologische Annahme, dass Vielfalt und Zusammenhalt nicht in einem prinzipiellen Gegensatz zueinander stehen. Vielmehr ist alle sozial relevante Vielfalt immer auch gesellschaftlich, also durch sozialen Zusammenhalt hergestellte Vielfalt. Gegen unkritisch-pauschale optimistische oder pessimistische Beurteilungen zunehmender Vielfalt für gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt werden spezifische Bedingungen herausgearbeitet, unter denen Vielfalt für Einzelgruppen und Gesellschaften als Chance oder als Herausforderung zu sehen ist.

Erwerbsregulierung in einer globalisierten Welt
Theoretische Konzepte und empirische Tendenzen der Regulierung von Arbeit und Beschäftigung in der Transnationalisierung
Häftad, Tyska, 2019
553 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Arbeit und Produktion sind im 21. Jahrhundert immer stärker grenzüberschreitend vernetzt. Dies galt aber bisher nicht in gleichem Maße für die Regulierung der Arbeits-, Beschäftigungs- und Partizipationsbedingungen der erwerbstätigen Menschen. Nationale Mechanismen und Institutionen dominieren immer noch die Festlegung etwa von Bezahlung, Arbeitszeit, Arbeitsschutz und Beteiligung der Beschäftigten. Das Buch behandelt die Regulierung von Erwerbsbedingungen in ihren verschiedenen Dimensionen in einer international vergleichenden Perspektive und vor dem Hintergrund zunehmender Globalisierung und Transnationalisierung von Wertschöpfungsketten. Bei genauerer Betrachtung zeigt sich dabei eine Vielfalt von grenzüberschreitenden Formen der Regulierung z.B. von Mindeststandards für Arbeit und von Verhaltensregeln für internationale Konzerne. Es wird gezeigt, wie eine transnationale Netzwerktextur der Erwerbsregulierung entsteht, die internationale Organisationen, staatliche Akteure, Nicht-Regierungsorganisationen, globale Konzerne, Gewerkschaften und Arbeitnehmervertretungen einbezieht. Der ‚globalisierte Kapitalismus‘ agiert zwar grenzüberschreitend, aber nicht ungebändigt.
