Germany
This book addresses the highly differentiated spatial, social, cultural and demographic structure(s) of Germany, with a particular focus on the reciprocal relations between different levels of spatial development. The historical development of Germany serves as a background in order to provide context for the development of spatially relevant ideas and ideals (whether in relation to politics, landscape, or culture). In this regard, questions of divergence and convergence become highly salient. The book makes the complexity of spatial and social developments in Germany comprehensible.

Politische Partizipation in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Der sechste Band der Buchreihe "Blickpunkt Gesellschaft" befaßt sich mit dem Thema "Politische Partizipation". Auf der Grundlage der Allgemeinen Bevölkerungsumfrage der Sozialwissenschaften (ALLBUS) 1998 wird in den Beiträgen des Bandes ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlicher Formen politischer Beteiligung analysiert: von der Teilnahme an Wahlen über parteibezogene Partizipation und politisches Protestverhalten bis zu gewalttätigen politischen Handlungen. Verschiedene theoretische Modelle zur Erklärung politischer Partizipation werden dabei herangezogen. Daneben wird in einzelnen Beiträgen gezielt die Rolle spezifischer Determinanten politischer Beteiligung - wie z.B. der Mediennutzung - untersucht. Wie läßt sich die Beteiligung an Wahlen erklären, wenn doch die eigene Stimme kaum einen Einfluß auf den Wahlausgang hat? Was sind die Ursachen für das geringere politische Engagement von Frauen im Vergleich zu Männern? Welche Rolle spielt die Mitgliedschaft in Organisationen und Vereinen für das politische Teilnahmeverhalten? Diese und weitere Fragen werden in dem vorliegenden Buch behandelt.
Barriers to Inclusion
Barriers to Inclusion offers a comparative and historical account of the rise of special education over the twentieth century in the United States and Germany. This institutional analysis demonstrates how categorical boundaries, professional groups, social movements, and education and social policies shaped the schooling of children and youth with disabilities. It traces the evolution of special education classification, explores growing special education organizations, and examines students' learning opportunities and educational attainments. Highlighting cross-national differences over time, the author also investigates demographic and geographic variability within the federal democracies, especially in segregation and inclusion rates of disabled and disadvantaged children. Germany's elaborate system of segregated special school types contrasts with diverse American special education classrooms mainly within regular schools. Joining historical case studies with empirical indicators, this book reveals persistent barriers to school integration as well as factors that facilitate inclusive education reform in both societies.
