Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

Download or read book Spaces and Identities in Border Regions written by Christian Wille and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and relations. These are particularly useful heuristic tools when examining border regions where social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. Applying this approach, the authors of this volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in cross-border contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional and media practices. The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces and identities and relinked to governmental issues of normalization and subjectivation. The studies base upon empirical surveys conducted in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Download or read book Advances in European Borderlands Studies written by Elżbieta Opiłowska and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of borders is to change their functions, which are shaped by historical events, political powers, and social and cultural forces. Therefore, borders are continuously being negotiated. The aim of this volume is to provide a selected state-of-the-art review of current research in the field of European borderlands studies. It presents a multidisciplinary perspective, ranging from the historical, political and social to the geographical aspects of borders. It reassesses the role of borders in Europe from an empirical and conceptual perspective. We take stock of research achievements and assess their fruitfulness for future research questions in the light of current political as well as academic developments. The volume provides a broad overview of current debates and the field's most recent findings, but also contributes reflections on the wealth and shortcomings of this field of study at the beginning of a new age of defining national borders.

Download or read book Cultural Turns written by Doris Bachmann-Medick and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary fields of the study of culture, the humanities and the social sciences are unfolding in a dynamic constellation of cultural turns. This book provides a comprehensive overview of these theoretically and methodologically groundbreaking reorientations. It discusses the value of the new focuses and their analytical categories for the work of a wide range of disciplines. In addition to chapters on the interpretive, performative, reflexive, postcolonial, translational, spatial and iconic turns, it discusses emerging directions of research. Drawing on a wealth of international research, this book maps central topics and approaches in the study of culture and thus provides systematic impetus for changed disciplinary and transdisciplinary research in the humanities and beyond – e.g., in the fields of sociology, economics and the study of religion. This work is the English translation by Adam Blauhut of an influential German book that has now been completely revised. It is a stimulating example of a cross-cultural translation between different theoretical cultures and also the first critical synthesis of cultural turns in the English-speaking world.

Download or read book Gouvernance et d veloppement durable Une mise en perspective sociologique written by Philippe Hamman and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Panorama à la fois conceptuel et empirique des questions liées à la gouvernance de l'environnement et de la durabilité. Comment penser ensemble deux notions aussi complexes, sinon piégeuses, que la gouvernance et le développement durable, devenues essentielles pour saisir le fonctionnement de nos sociétés ? L'ouvrage propose une synthèse à la fois théorique et empirique d'importantes recherches conduites par l'auteur sur la problématique de la durabilité, dont des contrats européens et nationaux sur les énergies renouvelables, la mobilité et le logement durables, la nature en ville ou encore la ville durable. Ancrées dans des méthodologies qualitatives et quantitatives en sciences sociales, et attentives aux interdépendances croissantes entre échelles d'action publique, ces études ont mobilisé des comparaisons territoriales et européennes. Tout au long des développements, la réflexion sociologique est enrichie par un dialogue approfondi avec de nombreuses sources francophones et anglophones, qui débouche sur une mise à distance critique. Après avoir questionné la notion de gouvernance de la durabilité, l'auteur dégage, de façon originale, une analyse conjointe de ses compositions concrètes hiérarchiques et non hiérarchiques, à l'exemple de la gouvernance publique et urbaine. Cette mise en perspective s'appuie sur une riche bibliographie, qui pourra également servir de guide au lecteur pour des recherches futures.

Download or read book Les effets du d veloppement durable written by Patrick Matagne and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2006 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La notion de développement durable s'est imposée dans les médias comme une évidence. Alibi politique ou véritable élément de stratégie, ce concept reste encore largement méconnu et incompris. Il est aussi, si ce n'est confisqué, bien trop le fait d'une catégorie de publics limitée. Il est pourtant devenu un extraordinaire fédérateur d'idées et de projets novateurs. Ce constat a amené les acteurs de la culture scientifique réunis en réseau autour de l'Espace Mendès France, Centre de Culture Scientifique et Technique de Poitiers, à lancer une démarche structurée, fondée et documentée, cherchant à explorer des voies pour une autre approche de nos modèles de société. Les journées organisées en 2004-2005 inscrites dans une volonté de mutualisation, de capitalisation et de partage, ont permis d'approfondir des thématiques : la gouvernance et les territoires ; l'agriculture et la consommation ; les entreprises ; l'éducation.
