The Future of Ageing in Europe
This book provides the most comprehensive analysis available of the challenges created by Europe’s ageing population. Grounded in state-of-the-art scientific assessments by leading European researchers, the book is strongly policy focused. Indeed this book contains a detailed account of the policies required across a broad field, from economic sustainability and extending working lives, to healthy ageing, technological innovation, long term care and political citizenship, for the successful adaptation to the challenges of ageing in Europe and globally. It is a policy manifesto to ensure that the future of ageing in Europe is transformed into a highly beneficial one for both citizens and societies.
Innovation in Social Services
Across Europe, there is an intense search for new and sustainable approaches to providing welfare. Demographic change, new social risks and other factors call for new ideas to maintain and enhance the performance and quality of social services and to enable the participation of all citizens in an inclusive society. Against this background, and based on the findings of the EU research platform INNOSERV and empirically obtained research results from text and video material, this book provides insights into current approaches and practices to improve and transform social services.
Deindustrialisation in Twentieth-Century Europe
Exploring two large economies which were heavily affected by deindustrialisation in the late twentieth century, this book provides insights into the social movements that brought about and also challenged industrial reduction in Europe. Both the Ruhr region in Germany and the Northwest of Italy experienced major structural transformation from the 1960s as a result of deindustrialisation. With contributions from experts in the field, this collection provides a comparative overview of each region, examining policy implementation, class relations, the changing political economy and environmental impact. Analysing industrial and post-industrial landscapes, urban developments and labour relations, the authors place their transnational findings within the context of the wider literature on deindustrialisation in the global North. A much-needed contribution to deindustrialisation studies, which have traditionally focused on North America and the UK, this book is a useful read for those researching deindustrialisation and the social history of Europe.

Krise oder Wandel der Parteiendemokratie?
Symptome für eine Krise der Parteien gibt es viele, und doch stellt sich die Frage, ob die in Medien wie Wissenschaft häufig zu findenden Schwanengesänge auf die Parteiendemokratie nicht verfrüht sind. Die Festschrift zu Ehren Ulrich von Alemanns greift ein wichtiges Argument des renommierten Parteienforschers heraus, um aktuelle Probleme des Wandels von Parteien und Parteiensystemen zu diskutieren. Die empirisch beobachtbare Veränderung von Parteien muss nicht notwendigerweise als Verfall eines ehedem idyllischen Zustands analysiert werden, sondern kann auch weniger aufgeregt als Anpassung an sich verändernde soziale und ökonomische Rahmenbedingungen oder gar als Normalisierung nach einer Welle der Partizipationsbereitschaft in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren gewertet werden. Wissenschaftliche Weggefährten und Kollegen tragen rund um diese Grundthese in verschiedenen Beiträgen zur Bestandsaufnahme und Weiterentwicklung der Parteienforschung bei.
From the Bonn to the Berlin Republic
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of East and West Germany in 1989/90 were events of world-historical significance. The twentieth anniversary of this juncture represents an excellent opportunity to reflect upon the evolution of the new Berlin Republic. Given the on-going significance of the country for theory and concept–building in many disciplines, an in-depth examination of the case is essential. In this volume, unique in its focus on all aspects of contemporary Germany - culture, historiography, society, politics and the economy - top scholars offer their assessments of the country’s performance in these and other areas and analyze the successes and continued challenges.

Democracies in Flux
In his national bestseller Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam illuminated the decline of social capital in the US. Now, in Democracies in Flux, Putnam brings together a group of leading scholars who broaden his findings as they examine the state of social capital in eight advanced democracies around the world. The book is packed with many intriguing revelations. The contributors note, for instance, that waning participation in unions, churches, and political parties seems to be virtually universal, a troubling discovery as these forms of social capital are especially important for empowering less educated, less affluent portions of the population. Indeed, in general, the researchers found more soc...
Zukunft der Polizei
Durch gesellschaftliche Veränderungen und sich stetig wandelnde Rahmenbedingungen müssen die Anforderungen an Polizeibeamtinnen und -beamte im Dienst und in der zukünftigen Ausbildung stets aktualisiert und erweitert werden. Dabei spielen aktuelle und künftige Kriminalitätsphänomene und -muster eine entscheidende Rolle. Was bedeutet dies für die Organisations- und Personalgewinnung der Polizei? Worauf müssen sich Hochschulen und Akademien in der polizeilichen Aus- und Fortbildung einstellen?
