Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Dummett, eminent filosoof en scherpzinnig maatschappijcriticus, pleit al vele jaren voor een eerlijke behandeling van immigranten en vluchtelingen in Europa. In dit inzichtelijke boek heeft hij voor de eerste keer al zijn gedachten over deze belangrijke kwestie gebundeld.Na een eerste verkenning van de verwarde en vaak zeer onrechtvaardige opvattingen over immigratie, onderwerpt Dummett de principes en rechtvaardigingen van het desbetreffende overheidsbeleid aan een nauwkeurig onderzoek, waarbij hij erop wijst dat dit beleid vaak in strijd is met de rechten van vluchtelingen zoals die in het Verdrag van Gen� zijn neergelegd. Aan de hand van confronterende en vaak aangrijpende voorbeelden wijst Vluchtelingen en immigratie de weg naar een nieuwe, meer menswaardige benadering van een probleem dat wij niet mogen negeren.

Download or read book Silver Empowerment written by Jasper De Witte and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silver empowerment is a valuable paradigm to improve care and support systems for older persons. It aims to counteract the dominant image of ageing, which is all too often one of decline, dependency and vulnerability, and rather sees ageing and the ageing population as a challenge that opens up new opportunities. By focusing on the strengths and connections of older persons, silver empowerment strives for an inclusive, age-friendly society that will allow everyone to grow old with dignity and meaning. In this book, leading academics from a variety of disciplines discuss ways to enhance the empowerment of older persons in practice. Covering a wide range of topics such as resilience, loneliness, community-based care, the interplay between formal and informal care, the inclusion of older persons’ perspectives in research and care, and empowering policy, Silver Empowerment is of interest to academics, policy makers and practitioners interested in empowerment and care and support systems for older persons.
Download or read book Mechanisms of Immigration Control written by Grete Brochmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the most vexing question facing Europe today is what to do about asylum seekers and people in search of work who arrive daily, some escaping nations where poverty and persecution are, for them, facts of life. Given its costs - both human and economic - immigration policy has understandably become a highly politicized issue. With the abolition of internal borders within the EU, new controls are needed to stop immigration and to prevent non-citizens from working illegally. New external policies are being used, such as early warning systems and visa controls, with the long-term aim of reducing emigration from poor and war-ridden nations. Europe has also intensified its control of internal aliens. But there are limits to how tight a control can be made without violating the norms and values of the democratic state, where human rights should be valid for citizens and non-citizens alike. However, free immigration is not in the interests of the European states. It might undermine labour and housing markets, make planning impossible, and alter the preconditions for welfare states. This timely book addresses the politics and mechanisms of immigration control in Europe in an effort to unravel its complexities and propose sensible solutions. It covers recent events, including racist and populist party politics, as well as changes in the international setting, such as the development within the European Union and Schengen, and the recent refugee crisis in the former Yugoslavia. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in immigration studies, European politics, international relations, anthropology and sociology.
Download or read book The Language of Inclusion and Exclusion in Immigration and Integration written by Marlou Schrover and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection provides an overview of some of the most relevant concepts in the study of the language of inclusion and exclusion, specifically with a view to the functioning of nation-state categories. Categorizations, words, and phrases are constantly renewed with the intention to exclude (mostly) or to include (rarely), promulgating problematizations that highlight discursive distinctions between in-groups and out-groups. Such discursive constructions and the practices through which they are effectuated are sites of symbolic power, and their study reveals the workings of power. Historical analysis of the language of inclusion and exclusion can help elucidate contemporary transformations of discursive power. The chapters in this volume discuss forms of discursive problematization such as defining, claiming, legitimizing, expanding, sensationalization and suggestion, and it connects these to the discursive drawing of boundaries, focusing on discursive constructions of ‘illegality’, race, class, gender, immigrant integration and transnationalism. As state categorizations continuously differ, both the historical analysis of their genesis, functioning and transformation, and the contemporary analysis of their practical effectuation are crucial to an understanding of inclusion and exclusion. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Download or read book The Discursive Ecology of Homophobia written by Eric Louis Russell and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through an analysis of the discourse practices of populist Far Right groups in France, Italy and Belgian Flanders, this book makes a ground-breaking contribution to our understanding of the ways in which homophobic discourse functions. It proposes an innovative heuristic for the conceiving of the interplay of language, context and culture: discourse ecology. The author brings linguistic theories, methods and ways of understanding and thinking about language to a study of the overt and covert homophobic discourses of three non-Anglophone populist movements, and grounds the interpretation of such practices in observable data. In doing so the book encourages us all to reconsider the power we give language in our activism and scholarship, as well as in our private lives.

Download or read book Why People Radicalize written by Kees Van Den Bos and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Why People Radicalize, Kees van den Bos argues that if we want to truly understand radicalization and prevent, attenuate, and fight violent extremism and terrorism, we must pay attention to what is driving the radicalization process. This implies that we should systematically analyze how radicalizing persons interpret the world. For example, perceptions that certain situations are fundamentally unfair and hence need to be changed are among the core issues that drive Muslim, right-wing, and left-wing radicalization. Furthermore, experiences and perceptions of unfairness and injustice can tempt those who struggle with self-control to break the law and engage in violent extremist and terrorist behavior. Why People Radicalize is among the first attempts to provide a systematic, integrative, and in-depth analysis of the psychology of unfairness judgments and the ways these judgments impact on various radicalization processes. Discussing several conceptual and practical implications that follow from this line of reasoning, the book emphasizes the role of careful scientific thought and the notion of taking individuals seriously, as judgments of unfairness are not merely perceptions. They feel genuine to the persons forming the judgments. This volume discusses in detail how these radicalization processes can develop and what components are of pivotal relevance in these processes. Accessible for scientists, professionals, and practitioners, the book explains how uncertainty and insufficient self-corrections influence this process. Finally, the book delineates future research issues on radicalization, extremism, and terrorism and applies the analysis to appropriate legal contexts, making the book relevant for policy and decision makers, among others.

This book was released on 2014-09-21 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De voordelen van de euro, de Hoge Snelheidslijn, de Betuwe Lijn, de JSF, de Fyra, etc. het zijn allemaal voorbeelden van zaken waarbij onze overheid de zaken veel rooskleuriger voorstelde dan in werkelijkheid het geval was. Waarom goochelen ze met cijfers en liegt men ons iedere keer voor? Weet men niet beter of doet men dit met opzet? Het is een grote puinhoop. Er is iets fundamenteel mis met de manier waarop onze overheid te werk gaat. We zitten nu al op een percentage allochtonen in onze bevolking dat hoger is dan toen de Vlamingen in 1600 en masse naar de Noordelijke Nederlanden vluchtten. Wie gaat dat allemaal betalen? Dan is er het failliete Amerika, daar kan niemand meer onderuit. Als Europa er niet in slaagt om de miljoenen stroom 'vluchtelingen' te keren dan wacht ons hetzelfde lot als de Romeinen in het jaar 469. Ons bestaan staat serieus ter discussie, dat is geen grap. Houdt onze overheid ons voor de gek?
