 Free Download Grete Brochmann, Elena Jurado, "Europe's Immigration Challenge: Reconciling Work, Welfare and Mobility" English | 2013 | ISBN: 1780762259 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 0.9 mb As the financial crisis continues to cast its long shadow over Europe, the view that immigrants compete unfairly for jobs and present an unsustainable burden on the European Social Model appears to be gathering support in some circles. But at the same time, the 'right' type of immigrant has often been perceived as a potential cure for Europe's sluggish labor markets and ailing welfare systems - especially immigrants who are young, easily employable and who arrive without family. So far, efforts to solve this conundrum - as in the UK's points-based system - have focused on increasing the selectivity of the admissions process. In this book, leading immigration experts question the effectiveness of this approach. Besides efforts to regulate the flow and rights of immigrants, they argue that governments across Europe need to devise labor market, welfare and immigration policies in a more integrated fashion.  Free Download David Levy, "Europe's Digital Revolution: Broadcasting Regulation, the EU and the Nation State" English | 2001 | ISBN: 0415171962 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.5 mb Europe's Digital Revolution assesses the impact of digital broadcasting on regulatory practices in Europe.

Free Download Adam Fagan, "Europe's Balkan Dilemma: Paths to Civil Society or State-Building?" English | 2009 | ISBN: 1845114604, 1780764065 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.7 mb Through the intervention of the European Union, the lives of people living in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Kosovo have been transformed beyond recognition. From the perspective of the Western Balkans today, the EU looks and acts like a development agency with a spectacularly broad brief and very deep pockets. Yet until the end of the 20th century, external relations and foreign policy were minor aspects of EU activity. How and why has the role of the EU changed so dramatically and what does this reveal about the future development of the Balkan states? "Europe's Balkan Dilemma" offers the first comprehensive analysis of the impact of EU assistance and intervention in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and newly independent Kosovo. In this important new book Adam Fagan places the fundamental question of what has been achieved through the EU's increased involvement in the region in the context of the EU's ambitions in global security and conflict management beyond the Balkan states.  Free Download Mary Murphy, "Europe and Northern Ireland's Future: Negotiating Brexit's Unique Case" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1788210298 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 0.7 mb The implications of Brexit for Northern Ireland are profound, given its history and geographical position as a land border with the European Union. Four decades of sectarian violence have been replaced by a period of sustained peace, economic growth and development, yet the trenchant political divide remains. The ongoing fractious relations within the Northern Irish Assembly threaten to derail any hope the region might have on influencing the discussion and direction of the Brexit negotiations.

Free Download Franziska Egli, "Euripides im Kontext zeitgenössischer intellektueller Strömungen: Analyse der Funktion philosophischer Themen in den Tragödien und Fragmenten" Deutsch | 2003 | ISBN: 3598778015 | PDF | pages: 336 | 9.5 mb Keine ausführliche Beschreibung für "Euripides im Kontext zeitgenössischer intellektueller Strömungen" verfügbar.  Free Download Martin J. Cropp, J. Gibert, "Euripides: Selected Fragmentary Plays Vol II" English | 2004 | ISBN: 0856686212 | PDF | pages: 400 | 12.8 mb The fragmentary plays of Euripides are a body of texts still regularly increasing in number and extent. They are of very great interest in themselves, apart from the significant aid they give to the fuller appreciation of the surviving complete plays. This two-volume edition brings together for the first time for English readers the more substantial and important of the plays, about fifteen in all. Each play is introduced by a summary bibliography and an appreciative essay which analyses the mythic background and Description: reconstructs the play as far as the fragmentary text and secondary evidence allow; and discusses themes, characterisation, staging, date, reflections of the story in art and other dramatisations. For each play the fragmentary texts are presented as conveniently and succinctly as possible, together with a brief critical apparatus of sources and readings. An English translation stands on the facing page. The text and translation of each play are followed by a short, primarily interpretative commentary.This volume contains: Alexandros (together with Palamedes and Sisyphus), Oedipus, Andromeda,  Free Download Ethnicity in the Ancient World - Did it matter? English | 2020 | ISBN: 3110684780 | 426 Pages | EPUB | 2.3 MB This study raises that difficult and complicated question on a broad front, taking into account the expressions and attitudes of a wide variety of Greek, Roman, Jewish, and early Christian sources, including Herodotus, Polybius, Cicero, Philo, and Paul. It approaches the topic of ethnicity through the lenses of the ancients themselves rather than through the imposition of modern categories, labels, and frameworks. A central issue guides the course of the work: did ancient writers reflect upon collective identity as determined by common origins and lineage or by shared traditions and culture?  Free Download Erika Forsberg, Jóhanna K. Birnir, Christian Davenport, "Ethnic Politics and Conflict/Violence" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367234874 | EPUB | pages: 128 | 0.7 mb Ethnicity is one of the most salient and enduring topics of social science, not least with regard to its potential link to political conflict/violence. Despite, or perhaps because of, the concept's significant use, all too seldom has the field paused to consider the state of our knowledge. For example, how do we define and conceive of ethnicity within the context of political conflict? What do we really know about the causal determinants of ethnic conflict? What has been the most useful development within this literature, and why?  Free Download Petar Cholakov, "Ethnic Entrepreneurs Unmasked: Political Institutions and Ethnic Conflicts in Contemporary Bulgaria" English | 2018 | ISBN: 3838211898 | EPUB | pages: 226 | 0.9 mb Based on an institutional approach to ethnic conflict, Petar Cholakov highlights the idiosyncrasies of, and the challenges to, interethnic relations in Bulgaria. He traces the emergence of the currently implemented Bulgarian ethnic model in its interconnection with the party system, and especially examines the ideology, political support, and mobilization tools employed by the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) party as well as the populist radical right. Cholakov presents findings from case studies on Bulgaria's Roma, crime, and politics. He analyzes Bulgarian integration policies and assesses the role of Bulgaria's judiciary as well as contemporary antidiscrimination legislation, in particular, of the 2004 Protection against Discrimination Act. The monograph peruses decisions of, among others, the European Court of Human Rights and uncovers patterns of discrimination against Roma. By reverse engineering the Bulgarian ethnic model, Cholakov reveals how the institutions operate and comes to the conclusion that interethnic peace has been entrusted to a defective mechanism which institutionalizes ethnic cleavage and politicizes identity. On the basis of his in-depth analysis, the author makes a prognosis for the future of ethnic relations in Bulgaria and provides recommendations for reforms. |
