The EU and Sudan
In this report the European Union Committee states that South Sudan needs the EU to invest time, finance and practical resources if it is to become a viable state following its declaration of independence on 9 July. The Committee concludes that there is a "high risk" that South Sudan will fail as a state. Its report calls on the EU to prioritise joining together with the United Nations, African Union and United States to resolve the most urgent issues threatening South Sudan's stability in order to avoid this. The Committee urges the EU to focus on four areas if the turning point of South Sudan's independence is not to be a missed opportunity for peace after decades of civil war: (1) The EU ...

The Dialectics of Post-Soviet Modernity and the Changing Contours of Islamic Discourse in Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan’s independence came after seven decades of militant atheism of Soviet modernization project and emerged into staunch secularism of Western modernity, two factors that, on a par with the country’s precarious neighborhood, promised a sustained indigenous effort towards the desacralization of the country’s political space and the associated exclusion of religion from politics, a modern blueprint that the Azerbaijani state and its society have stood united to diligently follow over the cause of the country’s independent existence. Yet the specific dynamics facing the country in the third decade of independence and the changing contours of its international engagements have gra...
Economic and Monetary Union
The Heads of State and Government at the European Council meeting in Maastricht definitely decided to embark upon the creation of Economic and Monetary Union by, at the latest, the beginning of 1999, and in doing so opted for a relatively short but difficult journey that should bring the European Community all the benefits one could expect from such an undertaking. However, the question still remains of how Economic and Monetary Union will really affect the day-to-day policymaking of the national civil servants involved, particularly in the areas of monetary and fiscal policies. Can national policymakers adopt a `sit-and-wait' policy or does Economic and Monetary Union really entail a danger...
Aging and Social Policy
In recent years, Japan and Germany have been facing very similar challenges: aging populations, changing employment structures, long-lasting economic stagnation, and globalization, all of which threaten existing social security arrangements. Both countries are in a number of respects more socially and politically regulated, and in this sense less liberal, than the Anglo-American economies. Nonetheless, during the last couple of years several important social policy reforms have been implemented. A comparison of these reforms may provide valuable insights into the changing character of "conservative" welfare states. This volume concentrates on two fields of social policy: long-term care insur...
Kritik und Engagement in der Sozialen Arbeit
Der Sammelband steht für eine kritisch-politische und transformative Soziale Arbeit. In zwölf deutsch- und vier englischsprachigen Beiträgen diskutieren die Autor*innen drei übergeordnete Ziele: bezahlbaren Wohnraum, eine engagierte Gesellschaft und eine solidarische Ökonomie. Sie betrachten Probleme wie Armut und die Prekarisierung von Arbeitsverhältnissen und bieten Antworten in einer kritischen Professionalität sowie in den Stimmen der Adressatinnen und Adressaten.
Sozialmanagement – Eine Zwischenbilanz
Der Band sucht aus den Blickwinkeln der Sozialen Arbeit, der Sozialpolitik, der Verwaltungswissenschaften und der im Umbau der Sozialsysteme hereingeholten Wirtschaftswissenschaften eine Bilanz hinsichtlich der heutigen Steuerung der Organisationen im Sozialbereich zu ziehen. Was sich daraus für das Selbstverständnis des Sozialmanagements und seine zukünftigen Entwicklungen ergibt, wird kritisch beleuchtet und theoretisch zu begründen versucht.
