Balans van het armoedebeleid
De Nederlandse overheid voert sedert enkele jaren een armoedebeleid om de positie van arme individuen en huishoudens te verbeteren. Het armoedebeleid steunt op twee belangrijke pijlers. Enerzijds poogt de overheid om via landelijke inkomensmaatregelen en lokaal armoedebeleid de financiële positie van de sociale minima te verbeteren. Anderzijds wordt geprobeerd om de maatschappelijke participatie van armen te bevorderen. Armoede is immers niet alleen een kwestie van geld, maar komt ook tot uitdrukking in het buitengesloten raken van mensen van maatschappelijke deelname. Daarom wordt geprobeerd om arme mensen weer aan het werk te krijgen of alternatieve activiteiten te ontwikkelen die mensen ...

Living with Intersex/DSD
Intersex/DSD is an umbrella term used to describe various congenital conditions in which the development of sex differs from what medical professionals generally understand to be "male" or "female." The differences may be chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical. There is growing international political attention for the position of people with intersex/DSD. At the same time, there is as yet little solid, research-based knowledge. This exploratory study documents what is currently known about the social situation of people with intersex/DSD in the Netherlands and what problems they may encounter. This exploratory study was carried out at the request of the Emancipation Department of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science.

Turkish Immigrants in the European Union
This book provides an analytical contribution to the contested issues marking Turkish membership to the European Union. On October 2005 Turkey started the accession process towards EU membership. Currently, many Europeans fear that large numbers of Turkish nationals will flood member countries if Turkey were to become a member, highlighting that many Turkish immigrants have failed to integrate into their host societies due to cultural difference. Yet, others argue that Turkey is a dynamic society with a growing educated population that could help address the dilemmas faced by most member countries, emphasizing that accession would assist the integration of current immigrants in Europe. Turki...
