Religious Communities and Civil Society in Europe
The seemingly vitalizing impact of religiosity on civil society is a research topic that has been extensively looked into, not only in the USA, but increasingly also in a European context. What is missing is an evaluation of the role of institutionalized religious communities, and of circumstances that facilitate or impede their status as civil society organisations. This anthology in 2 volumes aims at closing this gap by providing case studies regarding political, legal and historical aspects in various European countries. Vol. 2 provides some theoretical aspects, a report on the final conference, and case studies from Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Poland and the Ukraine, as well as a special chapter on Brazil and a Note on Religious Political Ideology.
Switzerland and Migration
This book explores the history of migration in Switzerland from the late nineteenth century to the present day. It brings together recent scholarship on Switzerland in the field of cultural and migration studies, as well as migration history, and combines various research approaches from postcolonial studies, transnational studies, border studies, and history of knowledge. Since the late nineteenth century, Switzerland has gradually transformed into a migration society, becoming one of the countries in Europe with the highest percentage of migrant population. While migration has become one of most contentious issues in Swiss public and political debates, the volume also shows how migrants have developed various strategies to deal with the country’s discriminatory policies and distinct institutional settings. The authors of the volume convincingly challenge the view that Switzerland still does not represent a migration (or even post-migrant) society and substantially contributes to the long overdue acknowledgement of Switzerland in migration history and studies at the international level.
Strategy Mix for Nonprofit Organisations
In many countries, particularly in continental Europe, societies have been plagued by high unemployment for several decades. Simultaneously, due to recent shifts from industrial to service-oriented post-industrial societies, labor as a significant culture code is increasingly loosing importance. Because of this, the third or voluntary sector as a place of employment and as a service agency to society has become important for Europe as indicated by the 1997 Communication of the European Commission and various declarations by the European Parliament and the EU's Economic and Social Council. Strategy Mix for Nonprofit Organizations: Vehicles for Social and Labor Market Integration explores the ...
Routledge Handbook of Sport, Race and Ethnicity
Few issues have engaged sports scholars more than those of race and ethnicity. Today, globalization and migration mean all major sports leagues include players from around the globe, bringing into play a complex mix of racial, ethnic, cultural, political and geographical factors. These complexities have been examined from many angles by historians, sociologists, anthropologists and scientists. This is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of the full sweep of approaches to the study of sport, race and ethnicity. The Routledge Handbook of Sport, Race and Ethnicity makes a substantial contribution to scholarship, presenting a collection of international case studies that map the most ...

Zivilgesellschaft international Alte und neue NGOs
Die Beiträge des Bandes gehen der Frage nach, welche Rolle den Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NGOs) in der Konzeption der internationalen Zivilgesellschaft zugeschrieben wird und wie sich die NGOs den Herausforderungen explizit und implizit stellen.

In den vier Kapiteln kommen Wissenschaftler, Experten, aber auch NGO-Aktive zu Wort. Kapitel I beschäftigt sich mit der theoretischen Dimension der ,NGOs in der Zivilgesellschaft', Kapitel...
Warum sind Frauen in Führungspositionen unterrepräsentiert? Eine Ursachenanalyse am Beispiel des Dritten Sektors
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,5, Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die ungleichen Karrierechancen von Frauen gegenüber Männern auf dem deutschen Arbeitsmarkt werden immer mehr an die breite Öffentlichkeit getragen und rücken somit ins Bewusstsein der wissenschaftspolitischen Diskussion. Ferner belegen aktuelle empirische Studien, dass in der Praxis immer noch eine stereotypische Unterteilung der Geschlechter vollzogen wird. Frauen verharren deswegen unter der „Gläsernen Decke“, und der Aufstieg in die oberste Führungsebene wird so erschwert und/oder verhindert. Die t...
