This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es ist weitgehend anerkannt, dass mit Globalisierungsprozessen erhebliche Zwänge für die Entwicklung von Sozialleistungssystemen einhergehen. Die Internationalisierung der Wirtschaft hat einschneidende Konsequenzen für Arbeitsmärkte, die sich in vielen Ländern in der Zunahme unsicherer Arbeitsverhältnisse sowie der Verschärfung von Einkommensungleichheit und sozialer Ausgrenzung manifestieren. Dieser Prozess wird begleitet von grundlegenden soziodemographischen Wandlungsprozessen, wie beispielsweise die Veränderung von Familienstrukturen, die Alterung der Bevölkerung und Migration. Während die Zunahme von Unsicherheit und sozialer Ausgrenzung den Bedarf nach sozialer Sicherheit erhöht, sehen Regierungen und Sozialversicherungsinstitutionen ihren finanziellen Handlungsspielraum in einer internationalisierten Wirtschaft eingeschränkt. Sowohl der öffentliche als auch der private Sektor bemühen sich, ihre Rollen neu zu definieren und dazu beizutragen, die Verantwortlichkeiten zwischen Staat, Markt, Familien und Individuen neu zu verteilen. Dieses Buch untersucht die in einer globalisierten Welt wachsenden Herausforderungen für die soziale Sicherheit und analysiert nationale Anpassungsstrategien. Welche Auswirkungen hat die Globalisierung auf Programme der sozialen Sicherheit? Welche Strategien wählen Länder, um mit diesen Herausforderungen umzugehen und sich an die Zwänge einer globalen Umwelt anzupassen? Welche Rolle spielen nationale Institutionen in der Gestaltung dieses Anpassungsprozesses? Entstehen in diesem Kontext neue Risiken, und wie kann mit diesen am besten umgegangen werden? Welchen Beitrag kann schließlich die Forschung leisten, um die politische Debatte über die Legitimität der sozialen Sicherheit im Kontext einer sich globalisierenden Welt zu erhellen?
Download or read book Social Security in the Global Village written by Christina Behrendt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is growing recognition that globalization places major pressures on the development of social security schemes. Internationalization of the economy has important consequences for labor markets: employment is becoming less secure and inequality and social exclusion more pronounced in many countries. At the same time, there are some fundamental socio-demographic changes: new family structures, an aging population, and migration. Increased uncertainty and exclusion intensify the need for social security. Both the public and private sectors are redefining their roles, reshuffling responsibilities between states, markets, families, and individuals. Social Security in the Global Village investigates the new challenges for social security in an increasingly globalized world and analyzes strategies of adjustment. A group of internationally renowned experts in this field assess the variety of effects that globalization has had on national social security schemes. A common theme of a first set of chapters is the relationship between common pressures of globalization and the role of national institutional frameworks in shaping the impact of these pressures on social security. Countries are dealing in different ways with these challenges and follow diverse pathways of adjustment that quite often contradict widespread assumptions about the effects of globalization. A second set of chapters is devoted to challenges in selected policy areas: migration, labor markets, and social cohesion issues. Among the topical issues discussed are the social rights of migrants, the changing rights and obligations in unemployment insurance, lessons to be drawn for the promotion of employment, the relationship between family policy and employment policy for mothers, the management of social risks, and the protection of an adequate income in an active welfare state.

Download or read book Navigating Social Security Options written by Danny Pieters and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-30 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores a variety of social risks and possible policy options that could be put in place to either prevent, or lessen the negative consequences of their materialisation. Pieters groups these policy issues into four major social risks -- income replacement in case of old age and survivorship; unemployment; incapacity for work; and social health care protection – all of which are crucial to the development of a social security system. Navigating Social Security Options draws on extensive knowledge of various national social security systems to compare their costs and benefits, taking into account both their structural elements (conditions of work, education and living), and cultural elements (influence of political parties, trade unions, employers’ organisations, traditions). As a concise comparative point of reference, this book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of social policy and law, as well as policy makers.

Download or read book Global Civil Society written by John Keane and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Keane, a leading scholar of political theory, tracks the recent development of a big idea with fresh potency - global civil society. In this timely book, Keane explores the contradictory forces currently nurturing or threatening its growth, and he shows how talk of global civil society implies a political vision of a less violent world, founded on legally sanctioned power-sharing arrangements among different and intermingling forms of socio-economic life. Keane's reflections are pitted against the widespread feeling that the world is both too complex and too violent to deserve serious reflection. His account borrows from various scholarly disciplines, including political science and international relations, to challenge the silence and confusion within much of contemporary literature on globalisation and global governance. Against fears of terrorism, rising tides of xenophobia, and loose talk of 'anti-globalisation', the defence of global civil society mounted here implies the need for new democratic ways of living.

Book excerpt: A transporting, good-humored, and revealing account of Greece's dire troubles, reported from the mountain villages, idyllic islands, and hardscrabble streets that define the country today In recent years, small Greece, often associated with ancient philosophers and marble ruins, whitewashed villages and cerulean seas, has been at the center of a debt crisis that has sown economic and social ruin, spurred panic in international markets, and tested Europe's decades-old project of forging a closer union. In The Full Catastrophe, James Angelos makes sense of contrasting images of Greece, a nation both romanticized for its classical past and castigated for its dysfunctional present. With vivid character-driven narratives and engaging reporting that offers an immersive sense of place, he brings to life some of the causes of the country's financial collapse, and examines the changes, some hopeful and others deeply worrisome, emerging in its aftermath. A small rebellion against tax authorities breaks out on a normally serene Aegean island. A mayor from a bucolic, northern Greek village is gunned down by the municipal treasurer. An aging, leftist hero of the Second World War fights to win compensation from Germany for the wartime occupation. A once marginal group of neo-Nazis rises to political prominence out of a ramshackle Athens neighborhood. The Full Catastrophe goes beyond the transient coverage in the daily headlines to deliver an enduring and absorbing portrait of modern Greece.
Download or read book Global Sustainability written by Gilberto C. Gallopín and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unprecedented levels of wealth, technology and institutional capacity can forge a just, peaceful and ecologically resilient future. However, the authors argue, social polarization, geo-political conflict and environmental degradation are threatening the long-term well-being of humanity and the planet. Global Sustainability explores the alternative futures that could emerge from the resolution of these antagonisms. Based on extensive international and interdisciplinary research, the book identifies the perils of market-driven scenarios and considers the possibility of the failure of conventional approaches. It also, however, presents a vision of the possibility of a 'Great Transition' in which revised human values and development goals bring a new stage of civilization. It will be essential reading for all scholars and professionals interested in the future of the environment, international affairs, and sustainable development.
