Book  Deutschland als Einwanderungsland     Dynamik der Zuwanderung in Deutschland und deren Folgen

Download or read book Deutschland als Einwanderungsland Dynamik der Zuwanderung in Deutschland und deren Folgen written by Marcel Demuth and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Bevölkerungsgeographie, Stadt- u. Raumplanung, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Veranstaltung: Veranstaltung: Soziodemographischer Wandel in Stadt und Region, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nicht erst seit Thilo Sarrazins Buch "Deutschland schafft sich ab" wird in der deutschen Politik und nicht weniger intensiv in der deutschen Gesellschaft über die Migrationsthematik diskutiert. Immer wieder rückt die Frage in den Vordergrund, ob es sich im Falle Deutschlands um ein Einwanderungs- oder ein Auswanderungsland handelt. In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass in Deutschland, wie auch in vielen anderen Industriestaaten, ein demographischer Wandel erfolgt, besteht in der Zuwanderung eine Möglichkeit, diesem und den daraus resultierenden Problemen entgegenzuwirken. Gerade der Gesichtspunkt, dass die Struktur der Bevölkerung durch Migrationsprozesse deutlich nachhaltiger beeinflusst wird als durch die natürliche Bevölkerungsbewegung, unterstreicht die Bedeutung der Zuwanderung.

Download or read book Island Rivers written by John R. Wagner and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropologists have written a great deal about the coastal adaptations and seafaring traditions of Pacific Islanders, but have had much less to say about the significance of rivers for Pacific island culture, livelihood and identity. The authors of this collection seek to fill that gap in the ethnographic record by drawing attention to the deep historical attachments of island communities to rivers, and the ways in which those attachments are changing in response to various forms of economic development and social change. In addition to making a unique contribution to Pacific island ethnography, the authors of this volume speak to a global set of issues of immense importance to a world in which water scarcity, conflict, pollution and the degradation of riparian environments afflict growing numbers of people. Several authors take a political ecology approach to their topic, but the emphasis here is less on hydro-politics than on the cultural meaning of rivers to the communities we describe. How has the cultural significance of rivers shifted as a result of colonisation, development and nation-building? How do people whose identities are fundamentally rooted in their relationship to a particular river renegotiate that relationship when the river is dammed to generate hydro-power or polluted by mining activities? How do blockages in the flow of rivers and underground springs interrupt the intergenerational transmission of local ecological knowledge and hence the ability of local communities to construct collective identities rooted in a sense of place?

Book Migration und religi  se Dynamik

Download or read book Migration und religi se Dynamik written by Andrea Lauser and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2008 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion gilt als wichtige Ressource zur Artikulation von kulturellen Identitäten - besonders bei Menschen mit erhöhter Mobilität. Ethnologische Forschungen haben dazu beigetragen, die transnationale Perspektive in der Migrationsforschung zu etablieren, indem nicht nur die verschiedenen Aufenthaltsorte von Migranten und Migrantinnen und ihren Familienangehörigen, sondern auch die Transaktionen und Vernetzungen zwischen diesen in den Blick gerückt sind. Migranten reaktivieren nicht nur die eigene Religion und leben sie teilweise aktiver als in der Heimat, sondern das Nebeneinander unterschiedlicher Religionen im Einwanderungsland führt auch zu einer erhöhten Pluralisierung von religiöser Kultur mit den verschiedensten Wirkungen und Dynamiken. In diesem Buch wird auf Basis aktueller ethnographischer Forschung die Verwobenheit informeller Mikropolitiken und makrostruktureller Angelegenheiten von Religion und rituellen Praxen untersucht. Dabei geht es zentral um das Spannungsfeld zwischen individuellen Handlungsstrategien und den kulturellen wie sozialen Zugehörigkeiten im transnationalen Raum.

Book Re thinking Diversity

Download or read book Re thinking Diversity written by Cordula Braedel-Kühner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume entails a collection of new ideas, themes and questions towards a phenomenon which we are used to refer to with the key term “diversity”. The aim of the book is to offer a cultural sciences perspective on “diversity”, to advance knowledge about it and enrich the dialogue between academics and practitioners in related domains of action. Today, changes in the demographic structures of the population, the migration flux, multiculturalism, the rising awareness concerning minorities’ rights, gender studies and so on lead to a complex picture of what “diversity” means. The narrative of a society and of most organizations is constituted by multiple layers of social categorization, segregation and identity. Therefore, “diversity” defies simple definition. The contributions in this volume approach the phenomenon from different angles and reveal new theoretical, methodological and practical perspectives on it.

Book Geographies of Asylum in Europe and the Role of European Localities

Download or read book Geographies of Asylum in Europe and the Role of European Localities written by Birgit Glorius and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book describes how the numerous arrivals of asylum seekers since 2015 shaped reception and integration processes in Europe. It addresses the structuration of asylum and reception systems, and spaces and places of reception on European, national, regional and local level. It also analyses perceptions and discourses on asylum and refugees, their evolvement and the consequences for policy development. Furthermore, it examines practices and policy developments in the field of refugee reception and integration. The volume shows and explains a variety of refugee reception and integration strategies and practices as specific outcome of multilevel governance processes in Europe. By addressing and contextualizing those multiple experiences of asylum seeker reception, the book is a valuable contribution to the literature on migration and integration, societal development and political culture in Europe.

Book Ethnic Segregation in Cities

Download or read book Ethnic Segregation in Cities written by Ceri Peach and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981, Ethnic Segregation in Cities argues that race and ethnicity are fundamental to writing about the city, and that economic patterns adapt themselves to race and ethnicity rather than vice versa. The problem of ethnic segregation is a burning one for both geographers and sociologists – geographers because of the concern for all aspects of urban deprivation, and sociologists because they are discovering that space and spatial processes are important factors in influencing social segregation or assimilation. The book brings together some of the main contributors to the literature on spatial aspects of ethnicity from both sides of the Atlantic. A variety of evidence from New York, Detroit, Bradford and Blackburn address the question of whether choice on the path of ethnic members, or constraints imposed by the host society are determinant factors influencing residential segregation. This book will be of interest to students of sociology, human geography and urban studies.

Book European Integration as an Elite Process

Download or read book European Integration as an Elite Process written by Max Haller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-05-05 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Haller's impressive book presents an analysis of the process of European integration which keeps the relation between elites and citizens at the forefront. It is shown on the basis of new empirical data (surveys, interviews, analyses of documents and biographies) that European integration has been led since the beginning by the elites and that today there exists a considerable split between elites and citizens; this split is becoming more profound in the course of time. The book covers the following themes: - the structure, interests and behaviour of the different elites (political, economic, bureaucratic) - the expectations and perceptions of the populations concerning the integration process and the elites - the strategies of the elites to win the consent of the people, in view of widespread scepticism - proposals for reform of the EU, especially with regard to a strengthening of democratic elements which could reduce the split between elites and citizens. A timely and original read, this book will be a useful addition to the library of any political sociologist, political scientist or scholar of European integration.

Book Urban Ecology

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Marzluff
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2008-01-03
  • ISBN : 0387734120
  • Pages : 802 pages

Download or read book Urban Ecology written by John Marzluff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-03 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Ecology is a rapidly growing field of academic and practical significance. Urban ecologists have published several conference proceedings and regularly contribute to the ecological, architectural, planning, and geography literature. However, important papers in the field that set the foundation for the discipline and illustrate modern approaches from a variety of perspectives and regions of the world have not been collected in a single, accessible book. Foundations of Urban Ecology does this by reprinting important European and American publications, filling gaps in the published literature with a few, targeted original works, and translating key works originally published in German. This edited volume will provide students and professionals with a rich background in all facets of urban ecology. The editors emphasize the drivers, patterns, processes and effects of human settlement. The papers they synthesize provide readers with a broad understanding of the local and global aspects of settlement through traditional natural and social science lenses. This interdisciplinary vision gives the reader a comprehensive view of the urban ecosystem by introducing drivers, patterns, processes and effects of human settlements and the relationships between humans and other animals, plants, ecosystem processes, and abiotic conditions. The reader learns how human institutions, health, and preferences influence, and are influenced by, the others members of their shared urban ecosystem.
