Power, Alliances, and Redistribution
Lateinamerika gilt als der ungleichste Kontinent der Welt. Paradoxerweise hat die Entwicklung ressourcenintensiver Sozialsysteme wenig dazu beigetragen, das soziale Ungleichgewicht zu verändern. Der Autor zeichnet dieses Paradox am Beispiel Argentiniens nach, deckt die zugrundeliegenden Macht- und Interessenskonflikte auf und stellt erfolgreiche Strategien zur Umsetzung einer integrativen Politik vor. Als erste Studie dieser Art untersucht sie systematisch die langfristige Entwicklung der sozialen Absicherung von Geringverdienern in Argentinien und analysiert die entscheidenden politischen, sozialen und ökonomischen Einflussfaktoren.
Asia and Latin America

Transformation Index BTI 2024
Managing the peaceful transition of authoritarian states to democracy and a market-economic system represents a tremendous challenge. Whether it comes to reconstituting the coherency of the state following armed conflict, expanding participation rights and the rule of law in emerging democracies, overcoming corrupt structures, fighting poverty and inequality, or establishing clear rules for stable market-economic competition, the requirements are enormous, and the pressure on responsible leaders is intense. After all, the quality of governance makes an essential contribution to the success or failure of transformation processes. Accordingly, the Bertelsmann Stiftung's Transformation Index (B...
Between Consolidation and Crisis
Between Consolidation and Crisis focuses on five countries in Southeast Asia to examine how their elections have been conducted in the past two years, their domestic implications, and how the elections have differed from one another and from elections in other parts of Asia. Case studies on Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand provide an overall understanding of the impact of elections on the consolidation or crisis of new democratic and semi-democratic polities in the region of Southeast Asia.
Decolonizing the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South
This book reconceives the internationalization of higher education from the perspective of Global-South researchers, empowering and giving visibility to this discourse. Challenging the first assumptions of internationalization of higher education (IHE) as something overwhelmingly positive owing to the way it directly impacts the university activities and their world rankings, it instead takes a critical perspective, acknowledging that this process is associated with a neo-liberal and colonial orientation that focuses on the maintenance of historically sustained hierarchy, oppressive relations that stimulate the production of knowledge, and education as a commodity and not as a factor of soci...
The Restless Anthropologist
What does a move from a village in the West African rain forest to a West African community in a European city entail? What about a shift from a Greek sheep-herding community to working with evictees and housing activists in Rome and Bangkok? In The Restless Anthropologist, Alma Gottlieb brings together eight eminent scholars to recount the riveting personal and intellectual dynamics of uprooting one’s life—and decades of work—to embrace a new fieldsite. Addressing questions of life-course, research methods, institutional support, professional networks, ethnographic models, and disciplinary paradigm shifts, the contributing writers of The Restless Anthropologist discuss the ways their earlier and later projects compare on both scholarly and personal levels, describing the circumstances of their choices and the motivations that have emboldened them to proceed, to become novices all over again. In doing so, they question some of the central expectations of their discipline, reimagining the space of the anthropological fieldsite at the heart of their scholarly lives.

Politische Führung im Spiegel regionaler politischer Kultur
Im vorliegenden Sammelband werden Formen und Merkmale der politischen Führung in drei unterschiedlichen Regionen analysiert. Der erste Teil bringt konzeptuelle Überlegungen zusammen, die die nationale sowie transnationale Ebene betrachten. Im zweiten Teil rückt Iberoamerika jenseits des Populismus in den Mittelpunkt. Im dritten Teil wird am Beispiel der Bundesrepublik Deutschland die politische Führung im Parlamentarismus und Föderalismus thematisiert. An den Beispielen Singapur, Indien und Russland eröffnet sich im vierten Teil die Diskussion über Demokratie- und Regierungsformen, die im Gegensatz zu westlichen Weltanschauungen stehen.
Systemwechsel 4
Der vorliegende vierte Band der Reihe "Systemwechsel" setzt die Systematik der ersten drei Bände fort, mit der die Herausgeber versuchen wollen, Pro bleme der Systemtransformation im interregionalen Vergleich auf unter schiedlichen Ebenen zu analysieren: Nach Fragen des allgemeinen theoreti schen Standes politikwissenschaftlicher Transformationstheorie im Band 1 und der Beschäftigung mit Problemen der Herausbildung von konsolidierungsfähi gen Institutionen im Band 2, wurde im dritten Band die Rolle von Parteien im Transformations-und Konsolidierungsprozeß junger Demokratien der dritten Welle untersucht. An die Überlegungen dieses dritten Bandes knüpft der vor liegende Band 4 unmittelba...
The Social Life of the Mall
Paseo La Estación, a mall in Buenos Aires, is as much a place of transit as a place of encounter, where long-term residents and newcomers, people with and without jobs, homeowners and those without housing meet. In the process, social tensions emerge, especially when classist, migrantizing, and moralizing distinctions become relevant in conflict-laden negotiations of belonging. In an ethnography of the mall, Franziska Reiffen explores how people find opportunities for social, economic, and political participation in precarious conditions, and shows how people create socially meaningful places in a city characterized by diversity, inequality, and mobility.
