    Abstract: The history of human decapitation, featuring the story of two British engineers beheaded by rebels in modern Russia and the psychological and religious implications of contemporary headhunting in Borneo. The Forbidden Rites trilogy explores cannibalism, head hunting and human sacrifice. This series includes first-hand accounts, expert interviews, and rarely seen footage. It reveals the legends behind man-eating tribes, headhunters in jungles of Ecuador and sheds light on the link between human sacrifice and salvation. The series looks at rituals considered important and acceptable to one society but regarded, particularly in the West, as unacceptable and even abhorrent. The aim is to look at the differences and get explanations from practitioners in other societies as to why such rituals worked for them.

    Keywords: Economics ; Sweden
    Abstract: The Swedish universal welfare model relies on a high tax level to finance a variety of transfers to the workingage population both in the form of income replacements and income supplements and as services for health-, child- and elderly care. The available evidence, reviewed in this Working Paper, indicates that the system has powerful redistributive properties. However, the efficiency costs of the system are substantial. Taxes and benefits combine to face income earners with high effective tax rates and the unemployed with little reward from moving into employment, resulting in a declining intensity in the utilisation of labour. A complex tax code arising out of a significant difference in tax rates for labour and capital income impedes the establishment and expansion of enterprises. An internationally-high taxation of capital income acts as an impediment to savings and the development of the domestic market for risk capital. To these domestic distortions has to be added the ...

    Abstract: Delo poveže multikulturalizem z migracijami in kaže na težave, do katerih prihaja zaradi različnih, tudi nasprotujočih si definicij pojma. Knjiga obravnava najprej družbeno-zgodovinska dejstva, ki določajo multikulturalizem, nadaljuje pa s pregledom in analizo različnih opredelitev multikulturalizma in ugotavlja, da so kriteriji razlikovanja med idealno-tipskimi modeli multikulturalizma vezani na politiko in ideologijo. Prav tako opozarja na nedorečenosti in razhajanja med trditvami, da je osnovni cilj multikulturalizma ohranjanje kultur, ki jih prinašajo priseljenci s seboj, oziroma da je njegov cilj zagotoviti enakopraven položaj priseljencev (posameznikov) v novem okolju. Sledi kritika teorij multikulturalizma, nato pa se avtorica osredotoči predvsem na švedsko situacijo oziroma švedski multikulturalizem v migracijski politiki. Ta je dodatno osvetljen s prikazom položaja slovenskih izseljencev na Švedskem in razvoja njihovega kulturnega in društvenega življenja v obdobju, ko je bila Slovenija še del Jugoslavije in v času, ko se je situacija s slovensko osamosvojitvijo spremenila

    Abstract: This book examines the performance of social assistance policies in four countries with similar per capita incomes: Australia, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. It confronts their -- very different -- social protection systems and sheds light on issues such as social insurance and social assistance, central and local social security systems, active and passive policies. The often complex interactions involved are analysed and lessons are drawn from the countries' varied experiences. Particular attention is paid to young people, the long-term unemployed, lone-parent families, immigrants and asylum seekers. Conclusions -- both country-based and thematic -- are presented with a particular emphasis on how barriers and disincentives to employment can be overcome: these are indispensable weapons in the battle against exclusion.

    Abstract: Les institutions ayant pour mission d'aider les personnes démunies sont un élément caractéristique de la vie sociale depuis des siècles. Aujourd'hui, les institutions d'aide sociale ont pour objectif d'intégrer et d'encourager ces personnes afin d'éliminer exclusion et stigmatisation. La pauvreté peut fortement éprouver le tissu social. Pourtant, éviter la misère aux personnes sans ressource tout en réduisant l'exclusion et la marginalisation n'est pas chose facile. Comment l'aide sociale peut-elle concilier au mieux ces objectifs et réduire au minimum les effets dissuasifs sur la recherche d'emploi rémunéré ? Que peut-on faire pour promouvoir autonomie et responsabilité individuelle ? Cet ouvrage examine l'efficacité des politiques d'aide sociale dans quatre pays aux niveaux de revenus par habitant comparables : l'Australie, la Finlande, le Royaume-Uni et la Suède. Il compare ces systèmes -- très différents -- de protection sociale et jette un jour nouveau sur des questions telles que l'assurance et l'aide sociales, les systèmes de sécurité sociale nationaux et locaux, les mesures actives et passives. Les interactions souvent complexes qui sont en jeu font l'objet d'analyses, et des enseignements sont tirés des diverses expériences menées dans ces pays. Une attention particulière est accordée aux jeunes, aux chômeurs de longue durée, aux familles monoparentales, aux immigrants et aux demandeurs d'asile. Les conclusions par pays et par thème font une large place aux moyens de supprimer les obstacles à l'activité professionnelle et, en particulier, les effets dissuasifs sur la recherche d'emploi. Ce sont autant d'armes indispensables dans le combat contre l'exclusion.

    Keywords: Governance ; Australia ; Sweden ; United Kingdom
    Abstract: Les Études hors série sur la gestion publique se composent principalement de rapports spécialisés préparés pour les travaux du Comité de la gestion publique de l'OCDE. Quel est l'impact initial des réformes intervenues en matière de détermination des rémunérations dans le secteur public sur la dispersion des rémunérations des agents de l'État en Australie, en Suède et au Royaume-Uni ? A l'avenir, les modes de rémunération du secteur public s'orienteront probablement davantage vers une prise en compte de la performance individuelle ou collective, ce qui entraînera une dispersion accrue des rémunérations. Bien qu'ils soient encore dans la phase de mise en ÷uvre des réformes, les trois pays étudiés offrent une expérience intéressante en la matière. Ils révèlent l'importance d'analyser l'évolution de la dispersion des rémunérations au sein du secteur public, entre individus et entre groupes professionnels, mais aussi entre hommes et femmes, ainsi qu'entre secteurs public et privé.
