Afghan Immigrants in the USA and Germany
After the breakdown of all hopes in a peaceful settlement between the Afghan war parties many of the refugees who had just returned to their country saw themselves forced to emigrate again. But while the first waves of emigrants during the Soviet occupation had been welcomed and had abtained in West-Germany political asylum, the attitudes in many countries changed drastically to indifference and even to expulsion. This indifference in face of the largest national exodus after World War II must be classified as a scandal. Author Maliha Zulfacar has engaged her studies to elucidate the social and cultural dimensions of this large diaspora in applying Bourdieu's categories of social and cultura...
Sozialstrukturanalysen mit Lebensstilen
Das Lebensstilkonzept wird seit zwei Jahrzehnten als Alternative zu klassischen Konzepten der Sozialstrukturanalyse diskutiert. Der bisherige Ertrag der Lebensstilforschung ist jedoch recht mager. Als Hauptprobleme der Forschungspraxis gelten: die mangelnde Vergleichbarkeit der Lebensstiltypologien; ihre Theoriearmut; der fragliche Realitätsgehalt einzelner Lebensstiltypen; der Erhebungsaufwand von Lebensstilvariablen. Die Studie beansprucht, diese Probleme durch die Entwicklung eines theoretisch begründeten und empirisch effizient einsetzbaren Analyseinstruments zu lösen. In drei Primärerhebungen wird die entwickelte Typologie zur Analyse individueller Parteipräferenzen, residentieller Segregation, der Integration in städtische Szenen, der Urlaubszielwahl und der Komposition sozialer Netzwerke eingesetzt. Dies ermöglicht die Beantwortung der übergeordneten Frage der Arbeit: Welche Leistungsfähigkeit haben Lebensstile im Vergleich zu klassischen Analysekonzepten?

Die Beiträge befassen sich mit unterschiedlichen Forschungsansätzen in der Umweltbildung. Verschiedene Methoden der Umweltbildungsforschung werden erstmals in dieser Breite diskutiert.
How Green Became Good
As projects like Manhattan’s High Line, Chicago’s 606, China’s eco-cities, and Ethiopia’s tree-planting efforts show, cities around the world are devoting serious resources to urban greening. Formerly neglected urban spaces and new high-end developments draw huge crowds thanks to the considerable efforts of city governments. But why are greening projects so widely taken up, and what good do they do? In How Green Became Good, Hillary Angelo uncovers the origins and meanings of the enduring appeal of urban green space, showing that city planners have long thought that creating green spaces would lead to social improvement. Turning to Germany’s Ruhr Valley (a region that, despite its ...
Drivers of Climate Change in Urban India
This study transcends the homogenizing (inter-)national level of argumentation (‘rich’ versus ‘poor’ countries), and instead looks at a sub-national level in two respects: (1) geographically it focuses on the rapidly growing megacity of Hyderabad; (2) in socio-economic terms the urban population is disaggregated by taking a lifestyle typology approach. For the first time, the lifestyle concept – traditionally being used in affluent consumer societies – is applied to a dynamically transforming and socially heterogeneous urban society. Methodically, the author includes India-specific value orientations as well as social practices as markers of social structural differentiation. The study identifies differentials of lifestyle-induced GHG emissions (carbon footprints) and underlines the ambiguity of a purely income based differentiation with regard to the levels of contribution to the climate problem.
