    Abstract: "Die vorliegende Studie befaßt sich mit der Situation der europäischen Autoindustrie seit der Krise Anfang der 90er Jahre. Auf eine kurze Beschreibung branchenspezifischer struktureller Probleme sowie der Reaktionen seitens der Autohersteller folgt eine detaillierte Analyse der gewerkschaftlichen Reaktionen. Diskutiert werden zwei Schritte in diesem Reaktionsprozeß. Der erste Schritt bestand aus traditionellen Sozialplänen und Maßnahmen zum vorzeitigen Ruhestand, die schon vorher ein Kernelement gewerkschaftlicher Strategien ausgemacht hatten. Der zweite Schritt beinhaltet eine breitere Strategie, in welcher Arbeitszeitverkürzung, Arbeitszeitflexibilität und Lohnkonzessionen gegen Arbeitsplatz- und Investitionsgarantien eingetauscht werden sollen. Eine gründliche Untersuchung derartiger Abkommen in fünf europäischen Autoindustrien (Deutschland, Frankreich, Spanien, Großbritannien und Belgien) sowie zwei detaillierte Fallstudien der durch diese Abkommen ausgelösten kompetitiven Dyna

    Abstract: "As Germany enters the 21st century, the traditional system of corporate governance, often referred to as 'Deutschland AG', has come under intense pressure to change. This report seeks to analyze the recent dynamics of the system to assess the extent to which they have already led to an erosion of the traditional characteristics. Many of the distinct features of the German system have shown strong resilience despite the pressure for change, while other features seem to have unraveled quickly. The areas in which these changes appeared to have emerged most profoundly and quickly are in the role of banks and in the role of financial markets. Germany is often cited as a classical case of 'non-shareholder value orientation', whose production-oriented, long-term, risk adverse and consensus-driven values have often been contrasted with the 'Anglo-Saxon' approach. The forces currently driving the German political economy towards a shareholder-value orientation can be summarized as follows

    Abstract: "This paper deals with the problems of social acceptance and social support of the welfare state. It starts with a brief presentation of approaches which infer in an immediate way from the self-interest of the citizens as welfare beneficiaries ('beneficial involvement') to the question of social acceptance. Although the importance of this factor is undisputed, the conceptual reliance on a purely interest-defined understanding remains insufficient since it does not explain why the welfare state institutions also find social acceptance amongst groups which are not net-beneficiaries. The issue of how social support is constituted will be reframed in three respects. Firstly, the supportive attitudes towards the welfare state are not solely motivated by the benefit status, they are also related to the expectation of returns. Thereby the welfare institutions are perceived as guarantors of intertemporal risk balancing. This expectation of future benefits makes people willing to accept an

    Abstract: "Der Beitrag befasst sich kritisch mit der These der Gendersymmetrie bei Gewalt in Paarbeziehungen und ihrer empirischen, sozialwissenschaftlichen und politischen Relevanz. Er zeigt auf, dass nicht von einer Gleichbetroffenheit beider Geschlechter durch Gewalt in heterosexuellen Paarbeziehungen auszugehen ist, insbesondere wenn Muster, Schweregrade und kontextuelle Bedeutungen von Gewalt einbezogen werden. Gleichwohl wird für eine Entpolarisierung des Diskurses der einseitigen Festlegung von Frauen/ Männern auf Opfer-/ Täterpositionen plädiert." (Autorenreferat)

    Abstract: Der Beitrag basiert auf den Ergebnissen einer aktuellen qualitativen Befragung im Prozess der Wanderungsplanung. Dieser Zugang ist, so die Verfasser, insofern neu, als dass die meisten Migrationsstudien Wanderungsmotive retrospektiv erfragen, wodurch sich Deutungsverschiebungen ergeben können, so beispielsweise bei der Überlagerung von Migrationsgründen durch Bleibegründe. Aus diesem Grund ist die Befragung in einem zeitlich nahen Abstand vor dem eigentlichen Migrationsereignis durchgeführt worden. Der Zugang zu der Untersuchungsgruppe erfolgt im Rahmen von Sprach- und Vorbereitungskursen sowie des Informationsveranstaltungen des Europaservice der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Empirisch zeigt sich, so die Autoren, dass Arbeitslosigkeit in Deutschland bzw. die Suche nach Arbeit im Zielland ein wichtiges Motiv von Wanderungen ist. Zusätzlich nennen die Befragten bessere Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen als Wanderungsmotiv. Daneben spielt aber auch das Interesse an der Verbesserung der indi

    Abstract: Boris Johnson's populist policy against immigrants and asylum seekers, dumped in detention camps in Rwanda, may not succeed because of legal constraints. Yet, his political agenda will probably work nevertheless, given the growing xenophobia among his electorate. Against expert advice, Home Secretary Priti Patel promised the autocratic ruler in Kigali, Paul Kagame, responsible among others for retribution killings of his army (RPF), to transfer an initial £120m to deter the migrants and to make them "settle and thrive" in Rwanda. However, London would have to pay much more in the proposed "economic transformation and integration fund" for the current cost. It is highly unlikely that Rwanda will be able to cope with additional immigrants as it is already struggling to accommodate its own more than 130,000 refugees. Moreover, in the past, also Denmark and Israel had tried in vain to execute similar policies to get rid of undesirable migrants and settling them in Rwanda and Uganda. Jo

    Abstract: With an emphasis on virtual engagement, creativity, and diverse competitive platforms, eSport is being explored as a new activity to achieve development outcomes within the Sport for Development (SfD) movement (Kidd, 2008). Research has shown the potential of eSport to provide opportunities for social interaction, bonding, and building social capital (Trepte, Reinecke, & Juechems, 2012). This exploratory research, conducted in 2019, examines the current eSport landscape and utility of eSport as a space to enact social inclusion and more specifically, in-line with SfD agendas and goals, positive experiences for women and girls. Three interactive focus groups were conducted in the UK and USA (N = 65) involving key stakeholders, including game publishers, SfD organisations, eSport teams, tournament organisers, and gamers. Supplementary interviews (N = 16) were conducted to allow for richer accounts and perspectives to be examined. Findings exposed the contested notion of social inclus

    Abstract: Migration remains a contentious and divisive topic, particularly with the rise of xenophobia and far right ideologies, which seek to demonize migrants as neither belonging nor welcome in the host society. This reduction leaves the realities of postcolonial migrants as misunderstood and misrepresented. Particularly misunderstood are the children of post-colonial migrants, who were born and raised in the UK by families seeking to better themselves in the ‘Mother land,’ while also aiming to maintain connectivity to traditions and practices from homelands. For some children born in the UK to Nigerian émigrés, family crises precipitated the need for alternative care arrangements, entailing recourse to fostering, boarding schools, or institutional care for periods of time during childhood. Conflicts between British society’s and parents’ cultural values, overt racism and hostility from host society, and differential experiences of extra-family care have impressed upon these children, now

    Abstract: This article explores the emotional dimensions of political representation by British Members of Parliament (MP) in relation to child protection. The public speech acts and first-hand accounts of three MPs are drawn upon as examples. These highlight different forms of emotional interest representation that arise following the death of a local child from severe abuse or neglect and in response to anxieties in the community about risk. Firstly, I examine the role of the MP in seeking to embody their constituency in the public expression of collective emotional responses and to defend it from feelings of guilt and shame. Personal feelings of guilt and a consciousness of the politician's role in attributing blame are then considered. Thirdly, I explore the role of the MP as trusted envoy for anxieties about risk to individual children within their constituencies. The article draws on Berezin's concept of the secure state and Hochschild's notion of politicians as feeling legislators, an

    Abstract: There is a growing academic interest in the idea of co-designing methods to achieve urban innovation and urban planning. As we see cities as "living laboratories", beyond the control of elected city government, there is a momentum to develop and test shared responses to the social, environmental, and economic challenges present in contemporary urbanism. These living laboratories are a function of open innovation or "quadruple helix" actors, drawn from state, business, higher education, and community sectors. However, translating the often-good intention principles of working together through shared and co-designed arrangements in any major urban area is often a significant challenge and a topic neglected to date. This article addresses this gap through the case study of Newcastle City Futures, a university-anchored platform in the northeast of the UK, that sought to co-design collaborative urban research, public engagement, and innovation. Newcastle City Futures created novel worki
