Cosmopolitanism in Practice
What makes people cosmopolitan? How is cosmopolitanism shaping everyday life experiences and the practices of ordinary people? Making use of empirical research, Cosmopolitanism in Practice examines the concrete settings in which individuals display cosmopolitan sensibilities and dispositions, illustrating the ways in which cosmopolitan self-transformations can be used as an analytical tool to explain a variety of identity outlooks and practices. The manner in which both past and present cosmopolitanisms compete with meta-narratives such as nationalism, multiculturalism and religion is also investigated, alongside the employment of cosmopolitan ideas in situations of tension and conflict. With an international team of contributors, including Ulrich Beck, Steven Vertovec, Rob Kroes and Natan Sznaider, this book draws on a variety of intellectual disciplines and international contexts to show how people embrace and make use of cosmopolitan ideas and attitudes.

Migration and Race in Europe
Migration and Race in Europe covers various facets of the interplay between migration and race in Europe. Over the past two decades there has been a growing public policy and political debate about questions linked to migration and refugee movements across the borders of Europe. This has been evident in countries such as the UK, France, the Netherlands and Germany that have had long-established experience with questions about immigration and race. But what has also become clear is that these debates have also become an established part of political and civil society discourses across both Southern and Eastern European societies and beyond. The contributions to this volume draw on the latest research in order to provide an insight into the changing dynamics of migration and race in a number of European societies. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
Integration in Deutschland
Im hier vorliegenden Integrationsmonitoring werden relevante Daten im Zeitverlauf vorgestellt – unterteilt nach zwölf Themenfeldern, die alle wesentlichen Bereiche gesellschaftlichen Lebens abdecken – und im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs verortet. Das Monitoring baut auf den Erfahrungen auf, die mit den zwei Berichten zu den Integrationsindikatoren (2009 und 2011) gewonnen wurden. Es zeigt, welche Fortschritte, aber auch Handlungsbedarfe es gibt – sei es bei der frühkindlichen und schulischen Bildung, am Arbeitsmarkt, im Gesundheitswesen oder bei der Bekämpfung von Kriminalität. Der Bericht wurde im Auftrag der Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Migration, Flüchtlinge und Integration durchgeführt vom Deutschen Zentrum für Integrations- und Migrationsforschung (DeZIM) und dem Bundesinstitut für Bevölkerungsforschung (BiB).
Postmigrantische Perspektiven
Pluralisierung der Gesellschaft durch Ein- und Auswanderung, das Erstarken gegen Pluralität gerichteter Kräfte und die damit verbundenen Aushandlungen um Zugehörigkeit und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe charakterisieren die gegenwärtige Gesellschaft. Dieser Band versammelt innovative Stimmen zur zeitdiagnostischen Beschreibung der Gesellschaft als "postmigrantisch" und zu den zahlreichen damit verbundenen Transformationen.
Analysing Discourse, Analysing Poland
The contributors of the twelve texts collected in this volume follow two paths: Firstly, there is a methodological path related to the discussion of the interdisciplinarity of discourse studies and the potential of qualitative research based on the study of a single case. Secondly, by taking as a case study the political interview by Tomasz Lis, a leading liberal journalist, with Jarosław Kaczyński, chairman of the right-wing Law and Justice party, they delineate possible avenues for an in-depth view of the mechanisms of Poland's highly polarised public debate.
Decolonizing European Sociology
Decolonizing European Sociology builds on the work challenging the androcentric, colonial and ethnocentric perspectives eminent in mainstream European sociology by identifying and describing the processes at work in its current critical transformation. Divided into sections organized around themes like modernity, border epistemology, migration and 'the South', this book considers the self-definition and basic concepts of social sciences through an assessment of the new theoretical developments, such as postcolonial theory and subaltern studies, and whether they can be described as the decolonization of the discipline. With contributions from a truly international team of leading social scientists, this volume constitutes a unique and tightly focused exploration of the challenges presented by the decolonization of the discipline of sociology.
Translokalität und lokale Raumproduktionen in transnationaler Perspektive
Transnationale Bezüge nehmen in einer globalisierten und in weiten Bereichen von Gesellschaft, Ökonomie, Kultur und Politik stark vernetzten Welt an Bedeutung zu. Sie prägen Lebenswelten, soziale Bindungen, Identitäten sowie Handlungsweisen von Individuen, Haushalten, Familien und sozialen Gruppen ebenso wie von Akteuren wirtschaftlicher, politischer oder zivilgesellschaftlicher Institutionen. Im Fokus dieses Bandes stehen die sich über nationalstaatliche Grenzen hinweg durch Migrationsprozesse, erwerbsarbeitsbedingtes Pendlern, Konsumverhalten oder Freizeit- und Kulturaktivitäten neu konstituierenden transnationalen bzw. translokalen Räume. Translokalität als Ansatz betont dabei die Kopräsenz von Personen an mehreren Orten und thematisiert die räumlich verknüpften Zusammenhänge, die unabhängig von nationalstaatlich begründeten Abgrenzungen Orte miteinander in Beziehung setzen. Dieser Thematik wird in empirischen Untersuchungen zu Migrantengruppen und Minderheiten in Deutschland, England, Frankreich, Rumänien und Algerien ebenso wie zum Zusammenleben im deutsch-polnischen Grenzland nachgegangen.
