    Abstract: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the World Bank Group's support for health, nutrition, and population (HNP) in developing countries from 1997 to 2008 - totaling more than 17 billion - and distills lessons for greater impact in the future. It finds that the Bank Group now funds a smaller share of global support for HNP than a decade ago, but its support remains substantial and adds considerable value. About two-thirds of the Bank's HNP support has had satisfactory outcomes, often in difficult environments. But in a number of country settings, particularly in Africa, it has not performe

Sylvia Kade rückt die Zeitdimension des Lernens in den Mittelpunkt und entwirft eine Didaktik der differentiellen Bildung. Für ihre Lernmodelle berücksichtigt sie die historische Entwicklung im Umgang mit Alter genauso wie die Diskussion um die demografische Entwicklung, die Lebensstile und Bildungsprofile des Alterns oder die institutionellen Angebote der Altersbildung.   Biographische Informationen Sylvia Kade leitete zwischen 1982 und 2002 Projekte zur Altersbildung beim Deutschen Institut für Erwachsenenbildung (DIE).   Reihe Erwachsenenbildung und lebensbegleitendes Lernen - Grundlagen & Theorie - Band 7.

    Abstract: Focusing on an isolated community in central Australia, this highly-readable examination presents insights into the cultural underpinnings of indigenous daily life through evocative narratives revolving around five Warlpiri women. The seemingly contradictory realities of a distant hunter-gatherer past and current life in a first-world nation-state are addressed as this refreshing study answers questions about the specifics of camps, sleeping arrangements, public and private boundaries, and how indigenous people in praxis relate to each other. This analysis illuminates the personal, utilizing rich vignettes and narrative portraits to expand understandings of indigenous Australia.

    Abstract: Hoe herken je de behoeftes van een puber? Hoe kom je hierover met hem of haar in gesprek? Hoe kun je je als volwassene werkelijk verbinden met pubers op een manier die hun helpt in hun groei naar volwassenheid? Hierover gaat Pubers van nu. Het boek biedt praktische handvatten, tips en wetenswaardigheden, ook voor contacten met pubers met een niet-westerse achtergrond. Iedereen kan met dit boek direct aan de slag.Pubergedrag leidt vaak tot vragen en soms ook tot problemen. Veel van dit gedrag is te verklaren uit de ontwikkelingen die puberhersenen doormaken: tijdens de puberteit is bijvoorbeeld het gebied in de hersenen dat emoties reguleert nog volop in ontwikkeling. Dit is een van de factoren die de puberteit tot een heftige periode in het leven kunnen maken.Voor een evenwichtige ontwikkeling van pubers is het belangrijk dat zij begeleid en ondersteund worden door volwassenen. Dit vraagt van volwassenen dat ze zich verdiepen in pubers: hoe denken zij? Hoe ervaren pubers de wereld om hen heen? Om deze vragen te kunnen beantwoorden, zullen veel volwassenen bovendien - in het besef dat puberhersenen anders werken - hun eigen denkkaders moeten loslaten.Dit boek is geschreven voor iedereen die met pubers werkt en omgaat: zowel professionals in de jeugdhulpverlening en het onderwijs, als ouders. Verder biedt dit boek ook vele handvatten voor politie, justitie, vervoersbedrijven, de middenstand en bedrijven waar pubers stagelopen of vakantiewerk doen.

In particular, Bowen examines how French Muslims are fashioning new Islamic institutions and developing new ways of reasoning and teaching. He l

    Abstract: Seit dem ausgehenden 20.Jahrhundert geraten die Massenmedien zunehmend in das Spannungsfeld zwischen Internationalisierung von Wirtschaft und Politik, nationalen Handlungsräumen und einer Lokalisierung der Lebenswelten. Vor diesem Hintergrund scheint ihre Verpflichtung der Öffentlichkeit gegenüber umso wichtiger, als Forum öffentlicher Meinungs- und politischer Willensbildung zu dienen. Um diese Aufgabe gerecht zu sein, müssen und sollen die Medien unabhängig vom Staat und marktwirtschaftlichen Gesetzen agieren können. Doch Unabhängigkeit und Pluralität sind Sollwerte, die die immer stärker de

    Abstract: This is a history of the great language controversy that has occupied and empassioned Greeks - sometimes with fatal results - for over two hundred years. It begins in the late eighteenth-century when a group of Greek intellectuals sought to develop a new, Hellenic, national identity alongside the traditional identity supplied by Orthodox Christianity. The ensuing controversy focused on the language, fuelled on the one hand by a desire to develop a form of Greek that expressed theGreeks' relationship to the ancients, and on the other by the different groups' contrasting notions of what the nati

    Abstract: The craft of gesture is part of the practical equipment with which we inhabit and understand the world together. Drawing on micro-ethnographic research in diverse interaction settings, this book explores the communicative ecologies in which hand-gestures appear: illuminating the world around us, depicting it, making sense of it, and symbolizing the interaction process itself. Gesture is analyzed as embodied communicative action grounded in the hands' practical and cognitive engagments with material worlds.

In this timely new book, Tim Wise explores how Barack Obama’s emergence as a political force is taking the race debate to new levels. According to Wise, for many white people, Obama’s rise signifies the end of racism as a pervasive social force; they point to Obama not only as a validation of the American ideology that anyone can make it if they work hard, but also as an example of how institutional barriers against people of color have all but vanished. But is this true? And does a reinforced white belief in c

    Abstract: Long description: Um in Verhandlungen die eigenen Interessen zu wahren, müssen wir manchmal ein klares Nein aussprechen. Das ist meist unangenehm und mit der Angst verbunden, unser Gegenüber damit so zu verstimmen, dass es auf uns und auf das Gesamtergebnis zurückfällt. Wie wir aus diesem Dilemma herauskommen, zeigt der weltbekannte Verhandlungsexperte William Ury: mit einem positiven Nein! Mit seiner leicht umsetzbaren Kommunikationsstrategie kann jeder in den unterschiedlichsten Verhandlungssituationen ein Nein so vermitteln, dass das Gegenüber nicht vor den Kopf gestoßen und ein erfolgreiches Verhandlungsergebnis erzielt wird.
    Abstract: Excerpt from book: Einleitung: Das große Geschenk des NeinsEin "Nein" aus tiefstem Herzen ist besser und größer als ein "Ja", mit dem man gefallen oder - noch schlimmer - Ärger vermeiden will.Mahatma GandhiNein. Das mächtigste und notwendigste Wort in der heutigen Sprache ist möglicherweise auch das mit der größten Zerstörungskraft und - für manche Menschen - auch das schwierigste. Doch wenn wir wissen, wie wir es richtig anwenden, hat es die Macht, unser Leben zum Besseren zu verändern.Ein allgemeines ProblemTäglich werden wir mit Situationen konfrontiert, in denen wir Menschen, von denen wir abhängig sind, mit Nein antworten müssen. Denken Sie doch einmal über die vielen Gelegenheiten nach, bei denen ein Nein im Lauf eines ganz normalen Durchschnittstages notwendig ist.Beim Frühstück bittet Ihre kleine Tochter Sie, ihr ein bestimmtes Spielzeug zu kaufen. "Nein", antworten Sie, weil Sie konsequent bleiben wollen. "Du hast genug Spielzeug." "Och bitte, bitte, alle meine Freunde haben es schon." Wie können Sie weiter Nein sagen, ohne das Gefühl zu haben, eine Rabenmutter oder ein schlechter Vater zu sein?In der Firma lässt Ihre Chefin Sie in ihr Büro rufen und bittet Sie, am Wochenende zu arbeiten, um ein wichtiges Projekt fertig zu stellen. Genau an diesem Wochenende planen Sie und Ihr Partner jedoch einen kleinen Kurzurlaub, den Sie dringend nötig haben und auf den Sie sich ebenso sehr freuen. Aber immerhin kommt die Anfrage von Ihrer Vorgesetzten, und die nächste Beurteilungsrunde steht kurz bevor. Wie können Sie Nein sagen, ohne das Verhältnis zu Ihrer Chefin zu unterminieren und Ihre Beförderung zu gefährden?Einer Ihrer Hauptkunden bittet Sie telefonisch, das Produkt drei Wochen vor dem geplanten Termin auszuliefern. Aus Erfahrung wissen Sie, wie viel Stress diese Forderung intern verursachen wird und dass der Kunde mit der Qualität des Endprodukts letztlich nicht glücklich sein wird. Aber es handelt sich um einen Ihrer wichtigsten Geschäftspartner, der sich mit einer abschlägigen Antwort nicht zufriedengeben wird. Wie können Sie trotzdem Nein sagen, ohne die Beziehung zu gefährden?Bei einem internen Meeting geht der Vorgesetzte Ihrer Abteilungsleiterin wütend auf eine Ihrer Kolleginnen los: Für deren Arbeit hat er nur vernichtende Kritik übrig; er beleidigt und demütigt sie auf äußerst ausfallende Weise. Sämtliche Kollegen schweigen. Alle sind gelähmt vor Angst und insgeheim froh, nicht selbst Opfer seiner Attacke zu sein. Sie finden das Verhalten des Vorgesetzten vollkommen unangemessen, aber wie können Sie es schaffen, laut und deutlich Nein zu sagen?Als Sie nach Feierabend nach Hause kommen, klingelt das Telefon. Es ist eine befreundete Nachbarin, die Sie fragt, ob Sie nicht für einen guten Zweck bei einer Wohltätigkeitsveranstaltung mitwirken wollen. "Du bist genau die Richtige für diese Aufgabe", schmeichelt sie Ihnen. Für ehrenamtliches Engagement dieser Art haben Sie eigentlich gar keine Zeit. Wie können Sie ohne schlechtes Gewissen Nein sagen?Beim Abendessen schneidet Ihr Mann das Problem mit Ihrer Mutter an: In ihrem fortgeschrittenen Alter ist es nicht mehr sicher genug für sie, allein zu leben. Sie möchte bei Ihnen wohnen. Ihr Partner ist absolut dagegen und drängt Sie, Ihrer Mutter die Bitte abzuschlagen. Aber wie können Sie zu Ihrer eigenen Mutter Nein sagen?Dann schauen Sie sich die Abendnachrichten an. Sie berichten von Gewalt und Ungerechtigkeit: von Völkermord in einem entfernten Land, von Kindern, die Hungers sterben, während in den Lagerhäusern die Lebensmittel verfaulen, und von gefährlichen Diktatoren, die Massenvernichtungswaffen entwickeln lassen. Und Sie fragen sich, wie wir als Gesellschaft Nein zu derlei Bedrohungen und Missständen sagen können.Bevor Sie zu Bett gehen, müssen Sie noch den Hund ausführen. Er fängt laut an zu bellen und weckt alle Nachbarn auf. Sie befehlen ihm, damit aufzuhören, aber er gehorcht Ihnen nicht. Anscheinend ist es sogar bei dem Hund nicht so einfach, Nein zu sagen.Kommt Ihnen eine der Situationen bekannt vor?Sämtlichen hier geschilderten Situationen ist eines gemeinsam: Um für das einzutreten, was wirklich zählt, um Ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse oder die anderer Menschen zu befriedigen, müssen Sie Nein sagen: zu einer Forderung oder Bitte, die Ihnen nicht passt, einem Verhalten, das unangemessen oder beleidigend ist, einer Situation oder einem System, das nicht funktioniert oder nicht fair ist.Warum Nein? Warum jetzt?Die Fähigkeit, Nein zu sagen, war immer schon wichtig, aber wahrscheinlich niemals von größerer Bedeutung als heutzutage.Im Verlauf meiner Arbeit hatte ich das Privileg, die Welt intensiv zu bereisen. Ich besuchte Hunderte von Arbeitsplätzen, erlebte Familien in Dutzenden von unterschiedlichen Gesellschaften und sprach mit vielen Tausend Menschen. Wo man auch hinsieht: Die Leute stehen immer stärker unter Stress und Druck. Ich traf vollkommen ausgebrannte Manager und Angestellte. Ich erlebte, wie insbesondere berufstätige Frauen versuchen, Job und Familie unter einen Hut zu bekommen. Ich sah Eltern, die wenig intensive Zeit mit ihren Kindern verbringen können, und Kinder, die durch die Schule und ein Übermaß an Hausaufgaben so sehr in Anspruch genommen sind, dass sie immer weniger Zeit für sorgloses Spiel haben. Überall sind die Menschen überlastet und überfordert. Ich selbst gehöre auch dazu.Dank der Wissensrevolution haben wir mehr Informationen und mehr Möglichkeiten als je zuvor. Aber wir müssen auch mehr Entscheidungen treffen, wofür uns wiederum weniger Zeit zur Verfügung steht, denn mit jeder technologischen Errungenschaft, die uns die Arbeit erleichtern soll, wird das Leben schnelllebiger und hektischer. Die Grenzen zwischen Heim und Arbeitsplatz verwischen, denn die Menschen sind durch Handy und E-Mail jederzeit an jedem Ort erreichbar. Auch die Regeln werden unklarer, und die Versuchung, eine Abkürzung zu nehmen, um zum Ziel zu gelangen, und sich über ethische Grundregeln hinwegzusetzen, ist groß. Egal in welchem Bereich unseres Lebens: Grenzen zu setzen und aufrechtzuerhalten wird immer schwerer.Deshalb ist das Nein die größte Herausforderung unserer ZeitDie Drei-A-FalleVielleicht ist Nein tatsächlich der wichtigste Bestandteil unseres Wortschatzes, aber er ist auch der schwierigste, denn es ist nicht leicht, es auf angemessene Weise zu artikulieren.Wenn ich die Teilnehmer meiner Seminare in Harvard und anderswo frage, warum es für sie so schwierig ist, Nein zu sagen, erhalte ich meist Antworten wie diese:"Ich will nicht, dass mir dieses Geschäft durch die Lappen geht.""Ich will die Beziehung nicht gefährden.""Ich fürchte mich vor Vergeltungsmaßnahmen.""Ich habe Angst, meinen Job zu verlieren.""Ich fühle mich schuldig - ich will niemanden verletzen."Die Schwierigkeiten, Nein zu sagen, sind im Kern auf das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Machtausübung und Beziehungspflege zurückzuführen. Macht auszuüben ist ein zentraler Bestandteil des Neinsagens, belastet in der Regel aber die Beziehung. Die Beziehung zu pflegen kann aber die eigene Macht schwächen.Diesem Macht-versus-Beziehung-Dilemma begegnen die meisten Menschen mit drei Verhaltensstrategien, die ich in den folgenden drei Unterkapiteln erläutern möchte.Anpassung: Wir sagen Ja, wenn wir Nein sagen wollenBei der Anpassungsstrategie legen wir größten Wert auf den Erhalt der Beziehung - sogar auf die Gefahr hin, damit unsere eigenen Interessen zu opfern. Wir sagen Ja, obwohl wir eigentlich Nein sagen wollen.Anpassung geht in der Regel mit einem ungesunden Ja einher, mit dem wir uns einen falschen, vorübergehenden Frieden erkaufen. Wenn Sie Ihrer kleinen Tochter das neue Spielzeug doch kaufen, so haben Sie ihr gegenüber vielleicht keine Schuldgefühle mehr, werden aber schon bald feststellen, dass Ihr Verhalten noch mehr Forderungen nach sich zieht - ein Teufelskreis für Sie beide. Wenn Ihre Vorgesetzte Sie bittet, an genau jenem Wochenende zu arbeiten, das Sie und Ihr Partner sich für einen Kurztrip reserviert hatten, sind Sie vielleicht versucht, die Zähne zusammenzubeißen und ihr nicht zu widersprechen, weil Sie Ihre Beförderung nicht riskieren wollen. Damit nehmen Sie aber in Kauf, dass Ihr Familienleben leidet. Allzu häufig geschieht es, dass wir uns fügen, um das gute Einvernehmen nicht zu gefährden, auch wenn wir wissen, dass diese Entscheidung nicht die richtige für uns ist. Unser Ja ist also in Wirklichkeit ein destruktives Ja, denn es unterminiert unsere eigentlichen Interessen.Anpassung kann auch dem Unternehmen schaden, in dem Sie tätig sind. Chris, einer meiner Seminarteilnehmer, schilderte folgende Situation: "Zusammen mit meinen Kollegen arbeitete ich an einem 150-Millionen-Dollar-Geschäft. Wir hatten schwer geschuftet und viel geleistet. Kurz bevor der Handel perfekt wurde, beschloss ich, die Zahlen noch einmal zu überprüfen. Im Zuge meiner Berechnungen wurde deutlich, dass die Sache langfristig gesehen keinen Profit abwerfen würde. Aber alle waren voller Vorfreude, man konnte den Vertragsa ...

    DDC: 152.4
    Keywords: Cognition ; Thinking ; Emotions ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Pensieri e sentimenti sono spesso stati considerati, studiati separatamente. Ricerche recenti, in ambito psicologico, neuroscientifico sottolineano l’unitarietà, la reciproca influenza dei processi cognitivi ed emotivi, lo stretto rapporto fra natura e cultura. La vita psichica, sin dalle sue origini, dalle sue prime esperienze relazionali si sviluppa in tutte le sue funzioni. Nel corso degli anni si continua ad apprendere, a memorizzare, a crescere sul piano del pensare e del sentire. Anche da vecchi si può sempre imparare e perfezionare ciò che si pensa e si prova. Il benessere o il malessere coinvolgono la storia e la vita delle persone, nella loro complessità. Quando vengono colpiti gli affetti ne risentono i pensieri, gli atteggiamenti, le relazioni con gli altri. Nelle situazioni vissute positivamente si è più facilmente portati ad essere ottimisti, disponibili verso l’ambiente circostante, spesso ci si sente meglio anche fisicamente. Mente e cervello nascono insieme e non si separano mai, sono entrambi testimoni della biografia di un individuo, il loro destino è connesso alle esperienze, alla qualità e caratteristiche dei pensieri e dei sentimenti, al loro grado di consapevolezza, al desiderio di saperne sempre di più, di noi stessi e di quanto ci accade. La dimensione relazionale, l’intersoggettività, il significato degli affetti, la cultura, la libertà dello spirito creativo caratterizzano il pensare e il sentire, l’apprendere e il ricordare, la verità narrativa di una persona, dall’infanzia alla vecchiaia. Il volume raccoglie in una prospettiva interdisciplinare vari contributi sulle emozioni e sull’apprendimento, sul sentire e sul pensare e può essere di aiuto a medici, psicologi, professionisti della salute, ricercatori, studenti e a tutte quelle persone a cui stanno a cuore l’unitarietà e le speranze dell’essere umano.

    Abstract: The new middle classes of developing countries are held responsible for boosting extremely resource-intensive lifestyles beyond the OECD-world thus thwarting ongoing efforts to attain a more sustainable future. But how homogeneous are their consumption patterns and why should not globalization include the extension of environmental concern, too? 'The New Middle Classes' challenges a narrow understanding of lifestyles and consumption by analyzing the issue not only in terms of attitudes and preferences but of socio-economic features and governmental policies, too. Original contributions from internationally renowned researchers bring fresh multidisciplinary insights in both theoretical and empirical respect. 'The New Middle Classes' will be of interest mainly to sociologists, political scientists, human geographers, and anthropologists.

    Parallel Title: Print version Psychological Aspects of Social Axioms
    DDC: 302
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: While value-based frameworks have offered revealing insights about culture, other conceptual tools need to be explored and deployed for a comprehensive understanding of both culture and individuals and how culture shapes individual processes and outcomes. To achieve this end, the authors and editors of Psychological Aspects of Social Axioms propose the construct of social axioms to augment values in interpreting culture and the behavior of individuals in their cultural contexts. Social axioms are defined as generalized beliefs about oneself, other people, the social environment, or the spiritual and physical world, and are central to a persons belief system. Their function is to enhance the survival and functioning of the person in his/her social and physical environment. The editors identify five axiom dimensions that form the construct: Social cynicism, defined as a negative assessment of human nature and a mistrust of social institutions Social complexity, which is a belief that there are multiple ways of achieving a given outcome and that a given persons behavior may be inconsistent from situation to situation Reward for application, which is the expectation that effort, knowledge, careful planning and the investment of these and other resources will lead to positive results Religiosity, the belief of the existence of a supernatural being and the beneficial social functions of religious institutions and practices Fate control, the idea that life events are pre-determined by grand external forces, but that there are some ways for people to influence the impact of these forces The Authors Kwok Leung is professor and Head of Management at City University of Hong Kong. He received his doctorate in social and organizational psychology at the University of Illinois. He is Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Journal of International Business Studies and senior editor of Management and Organization Review. His research areas include justice and conflict, cross-cultural psychology and research methods, and international business. Michael Harris Bond is Professor of Psychology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He graduated from Stanford University, where he began his study of person perception, subsequently broadened to include research into the areas of justice, aggression, and impression management.

    Abstract: Angesichts der Dynamik des technologischen Wandels und der umfassenden Verbreitung der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) haben Unternehmen, Privatpersonen und öffentliche Hand einen zunehmenden Bedarf an Sicherheit und Datenschutz. Industrie, Forschung und Politik stehen - je nach Aufgabenstellung - vor einer Herausforderung: Einerseits verlangen innovative Entwicklungen und steigende Mobilität neue Sicherheitslösungen, andererseits müssen neue Sicherheitsansätze in existierende Lösungen integriert werden. Der vorliegende Band entstand im Rahmen der IT-Konferenz "Sicherheit und Vertrauen für mobile IKT". Die darin enthaltenen Vorträge und Diskussionen behandeln hochaktuelle Themen, mit denen der Bundesbürger künftig täglich konfrontiert sein wird. So befand sich das Gesetz zum elektronischen Personalausweis zum Zeitpunkt der Konferenz gerade im Gesetzgebungsverfahren und wurde im Februar 2009 bereits verabschiedet.

But there are downsides: young migrants who fail in education, adults who don't find work and, of course, unregulated migration. Such challenges can make migration a political lightning rod and a topic for angry debate. Drawing on the unique expertise of the OECD, this book moves beyond rhetoric to look at the realities of international migration today: Where do migrants come from and where do they go? How do governments manage

This book raises a question of a much broader multidisciplinary approach to studying the phenomenon of code-switching; calls for integration of disciplines; and illustrates how frameworks from one subfield can be applied to models in another.

Beginning with Melusina, the bathing mermaid par excellence, Amanda Adams goes on to describe the seductive sirens and their honeyed songs, the powerful Arctic sea goddess Sedna, and the long-haired rusalki or Russian lore, among other legendary mermaids. As she tells their stories, she also expresses a love of the mermaid that surely no sea-bound sailor could ever match.Grounded in cultural anthropology, folklore studies, and intellectual rigor, A Mermaid's Tale also draws

    Abstract: Für Wissensgesellschaften, die vom Aufbau und der Verwertung kulturellen Kapitals abhängen, kann die Arbeitsmarktintegration von hochqualifizierten Migrant(inn)en eine Chance sein. Der vorliegende Band befasst sich mit verschiedenen Migrantengruppen, die ihre akademischen Bildungstitel in die Arbeitsmärkte von Deutschland, Kanada, Türkei und Großbritannien einbringen. Er rekonstruiert mit qualitativen Methoden die Bildungs- und Berufserfolge der Kinder von Migranten ebenso wie die Chancen und Risiken, mit denen Akademiker/innen konfrontiert sind, die z.B. aufgrund von Partnerschaften, Jobangeboten oder als Flüchtlinge in ein Land kommen. Die An- und Aberkennung von kulturellem Kapital, die Erfahrung von Diskriminierung, aber auch von sozialer Unterstützung gehen in den Lebensgeschichten der Migrant(inn)en komplexe Verbindungen ein, die über ihre erfolgreiche Arbeitsmarktintegration entscheiden.

    Parallel Title: Print version Language Policy and Nation-Building in Post-Apartheid South Africa
    DDC: 306.44968
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: The urgent need to forge an inclusive, multi-racial, multicultural South African national identity has been one of the most dominant themes in post-Apartheid politics and society. With the realisation that many of the social problems which beset contemporary South African society are sociolinguistic in origin, the critical importance of language policy and planning for democratic ‘nation-building’ becomes evident. This book adopts a rigorous theoretical approach to the study of language policy and national identity, both in a general sense and with specific application to the sociolinguistic situation in South Africa. It also includes an entire chapter devoted to the issue of the status and role of Afrikaans in the post-apartheid era. Employing a strictly multi-disciplinary approach, the book draws on insights from a number of academic disciplines including sociolinguistics, the sociology of language, sociology, social psychology, political theory and social anthropology. The book will be of considerable interest to a wide range of academic theorists and students whose work is either specifically concerned with, or touches upon, issues of language policy and national identity, as well as language planners and policymakers, language pedagogists and educational organisations, both within South Africa and beyond. Written for:Academic theorists, students of issues of language policy and national identity, language planners, policymakers, language pedagogists and educational organisations both within South Africa and beyond

    DDC: 304.609587
    RVK:
    Keywords: Electronic books ; Iran ; Bevölkerungsentwicklung ; Geburtenregelung
    Abstract: Confounding all conventional wisdom, the fertility rate in the Islamic Republic of Iran fell from around 7.0 births per woman in the early 1980s to 1.9 births per woman in 2006. That this, the largest and fastest fall in fertility ever recorded, should have occurred in one of the worlds few Islamic Republics demands explanation. This book, based upon a decade of research is the first to attempt such an explanation. The book documents the progress of the fertility decline and displays its association with social and economic characteristics. It addresses an explanation of the phenomenal fall of fertility in this Islamic context by considering the relevance of standard theories of fertility transition. The book is rich in data as well as the application of different demographic methods to interpret the data. All the available national demographic data are used in addition to two major surveys conducted by the authors. Demographic description is preceded by a socio-political history of Iran in recent decades, providing a context for the demographic changes. The authors conclude with their views on the importance of specific socio-economic and political changes to the demographic transition. Their concluding arguments suggest continued low fertility in Iran. The book is recommended to not only demographers, social scientists, and gender specialists, but also to policy makers and those who are interested in social and demographic changes in Iran and other Islamic countries in the Middle East. It is also a useful reference for demography students and researchers who are interested in applying fertility theories in designing surveys and analysing data.

    Abstract: When she began work on this collection, Barbara Ellen Smith was asked, "Why work on a book about women in the South? Nobody writes books about women in the Midwest." In an era of intensified globalization, when populations, cultures, and capital move across the boundaries of nation-states in multiple forms and directions, the concept of a subnational region seems parochial and out of date.

In fact, in many cases multiple orders of worth are unavoidable, so organizations and firms shou
