Institutions and Organizations as Learning Environments for Participation and Democracy
This book discusses opportunities and limitations to democratic participation in institutions and organizations across the life course. It demonstrates that democratic participation is not something that is learned once and for all and applied in formal political settings, but something that is lived every day throughout life in various contexts. Institutions and organizations frame human lives and strongly determine the ability to participate and co-determine their communities. They are places for learning, deliberation and the development of the common good. The book conceptually and empirically analyses the potential of democratic participation within various institutions. The contributions range from early childhood institutions, schools, youth programs, workplaces, and vocational education to cultural organizations and nursing homes for the elderly. The book thereby provides a cross-sectional and interdisciplinary knowledge base to inspire future research and practical efforts to promote democratic participation within and across institutions around the world.
Emotions and Identity
This volume focuses on the role of emotions in forming and sustaining identities at work, and the value of exploring these topics from various theoretical and methodological points of view. This volume recognizes the depth of emotion and identity at work by addressing these topics on individual, occupational, and social role levels
Democratic Competences and Social Practices in Organizations
The contributions in this book address the question of how to develop and foster democratic competences. This may take place via school curricula, resource materials and teaching/learning methods; in workplaces by means of formalised arrangements that encourage self-direction and through the informal processes engendered by expansive working environments; and in personal and community life, including in the course of incidental learning in social networks. The studies and analyses are somewhat nonconformist in its thematic spread and its boundary-crossing between disciplines and perspectives that conventionally live separate lives.

Stimmen gegen Armut
Ungleichheit führt zu einer tiefen sozialen Kluft in der Demokratie und gefährdet den sozialen Zusammenhalt. Ökonomische Unsicherheit schmälert das Vertrauen und behindert politische Mitbestimmung. "Mit meiner Stimme kann ich bei Wahlen die Zukunft mitbestimmen." - Dieser Aussage können 50 Prozent des stärksten ökonomischen Drittels der österreichischen Bevölkerung zustimmen, aber nur 28 Prozent des schwächsten. Vom ärmsten Drittel der Bevölkerung geht nur die Hälfte wählen, vom reichsten Drittel sind es 80 Prozent. Im Parlament sind daher zunehmend die Interessen der Reicheren vertreten. Die Gesetze werden deshalb auch für das oberste und bestenfalls für das mittlere Drittel gemacht, das untere Drittel wird übersehen. Stimmen hör- und sichtbar machen. Die Autor*innen dieses Buchs gehen der Frage nach, wie Demokratie gestaltet werden kann, damit alle gesellschaftlichen Gruppen teilhaben und mitbestimmen. Was braucht es, damit die Stimmen ausgegrenzter und armutsbetroffener Menschen gehört werden? Wie können wir eine drohende Zwei-Drittel-Demokratie verhindern?
