This book presents effective long-term solutions for displacement and migration against the background of the current debates. It offers insights on practical suggestions for dealing with displacement and migration due to violence, examines ideas for the management of global migration movements and looks into the integration of refugees and migrants. Throughout the chapters, experts from science, politics and practice shed light on the causes of global migration and the consequences of migration on a political, economic and social level. The focus of the discussion is not the avoidance of migratory movements, but above all the use of positive effects in countries of origin, transit and destination. The book is a must-read for researchers, policy-makers and politicians, interested in international cooperation and in a better understanding of causes, consequences and solutions of displacement and forced migration.

Offers cutting-edge perspectives on how international development has shaped the global history of the modern world.
This two-volume handbook provides readers with a comprehensive interpretation of globality through the multifaceted prism of the humanities and social sciences. Key concepts and symbolizations rooted in and shaped by European academic traditions are discussed and reinterpreted under the conditions of the global turn. Highlighting consistent anthropological features and socio-cultural realities, the handbook gathers coherently structured articles written by 110 professors in the humanities and social sciences at Bonn University, Germany, who initiate a global dialogue on meaningful and sustainable notions of human life in the age of globality. Volume 1 introduces readers to various interpretations of globality, and discusses notions of human development, communication and aesthetics. Volume 2 covers notions of technical meaning, of political and moral order, and reflections on the shaping of globality.
Unpacking the major debates, this Oxford Handbook brings together leading authors of the field to provide a state-of-the-art guide to governance in areas of limited statehood where state authorities lack the capacity to implement and enforce central decision and/or to uphold the monopoly over the means of violence. While areas of limited statehood can be found everywhere - not just in the global South -, they are neither ungoverned nor ungovernable. Rather, a variety of actors maintain public order and safety, as well as provide public goods and services. While external state 'governors' and their interventions in the global South have received special scholarly attention, various non-state ...

Mit den Ereignissen des 9. November 1989 fand die deutsche Zweistaatlichkeit ihren Abschluss. Am 3. Oktober 1990 endete die Existenz der �Bonner Republik�, da die DDR in deren Geltungsbereich eingetreten war. Die �Deutsche Frage� stellte sich damit seit Beendigung des Zweiten Weltkrieges wieder in neuer Form. Der vorliegende Tagungsband vergleicht die Verh�ltnisse von 1949 mit denen von 1989. Wie in einem Kaleidoskop werden zentrale Punkte der Entwicklung einander gegenueberstellt. Autoren beiderseits der ehemaligen innerdeutschen Grenze beleuchten die konstitutionellen, kirchenpolitischen, wirtschaftlichen, au�en- und sicherheitspolitischen Anf�nge. Subjektive Erfahrungsberich...
