International Handbook on the Economics of Integration
'International Handbook of Economic Integration edited by Miroslav Jovanovi provides timely and rich academic contributions to considerations of the widest array of integration-related issues. European integration has been providing an inspiration to a number of academics and researchers. The Handbook is a recognition of the dynamic and strong solidarity of the European integration. At the same time, the European Union often provided an example for integration schemes throughout the world which spread enormously since the mid-1990s. Leading experts from all continents contributed to this Handbook which will be a valuable input into academic and policy-making discussions and actions.'– JosÃ...
Migranten auf dem Weg zur Elite?
Galt bislang die Metapher der „katholischen Arbeitertochter vom Lande“ als gängige Chiffre für nachteilige Startbedingungen für Schule und Beruf, trifft diese Stigmatisierung heute vor allem den Nachwuchs mit Migrationshintergrund. Es gibt jedoch auch hier Personen, die nicht nur erfolgreich ein Studium absolvieren, sondern auch verantwortungsvolle Berufspositionen bekleiden. Armand Farsi untersucht auf Basis eines einzigartigen Datensets, welche spezifischen Biographie- und Sozialisationsfaktoren den Berufserfolg von Akademikern mit Migrationshintergrund erklären können. Neben der Validierung allgemeingültiger Faktoren lassen sich dabei auch bislang aber unerforschte migrantenspezifische Erfolgsdimensionen explizieren. Darauf aufbauend werden erste Implikationen für eine zielgerichtete Integrationspolitik abgeleitet.
The Legend of Bonneville Herrsch
Sy Raskin is stung by the news of Bonney Herrsch's death and then perplexed by his obituary. Raskin had known the long-time intelligence operative for forty years. Herrsch was Raskin's mentor, and they'd shared risks and danger. But in all that time Herrsch never mentioned a family. He had died in Switzerland and been buried on an estate there another surprise. Herrsch led an OSS team on an operation at the time of the Normandy invasion. Shortly after the three operatives parachuted into eastern France, the Germans were onto them. They had been betrayed, as had the men they'd be sent to replace. Eluding the pursuing German troops, Herrsch made it into Switzerland. Raskin knew about this history, but knew nothing more about a Swiss connection. Now Raskin is determined to uncover his friend's past. He enlists the assistance of Fritz Kohl and Alex Fletcher, two former CIA analysts who were briefly acquaintances of Herrsch. The trio follows a trail that leads them to Switzerland and to dumbfounding revelations about Bonney Herrsch's extraordinary life.
Social Security, Demographics, and Risk
This volume addresses the most important issues of the ongoing discussion on designing social security. It provides fundamental results for pay-as-you-go social security, covers the issues of social security during demographic transition and examines the inclusion of risk aspects into the analysis of social security. An empirical case study of Germany yields the surprising result that de facto the German public pension scheme already comprises an implicit demographic factor. This book allows a subtle understanding of how interacting risks are treated within different pension systems and thereby provides a basis for the development of innovative ways of risk sharing.
Cultural Hybridity and Fixity
Immigrants who travel and settle in foreign countries face challenges due to cultural differences or even deliberate segregation by dominant groups. In their attempt to negotiate their existence, some decide to stick to the culture of their mother nations and some stand in the middle, and blend some aspects of their mother culture and the new culture. Although immigrants who remain closer to their own cultures are easily spotted and relegated, they are assigned a place on the identity continuum, whereas immigrants who choose to stand in the middle run the danger of being neither this nor that, neither here nor there, and can undergo severe internal fragmentation. In this book, Cultural Hybridity and Fixity: Strategies of Resistance in Migration Literatures, Andrew Nyongesa delves into these two strategies of resistance and analyzes the merits and demerits of each with reference to Safi Abdi’s fiction.
