Integration through Exploitation: Syrians in Turkey
(Reiner Hampp Verlag, 2019)
This book is about the largest displacement crisis and resettlement of our time. However, it is not another piece that elaborately describes the appalling situation of Syrian workers in Turkey, but explores how they are integrated into the lower ends of the value chain in several sectors. The book seeks answers of what has been largely overlooked in the literature on the question of how labor processes have been shaped in various labor-intensive sectors by class and identity.

The legitimation of expulsion in development discourse. A comparative analysis of World Bank projects in sub-Saharan Africa
(2019)
Comparing examples from Kenia, Ethiopia and Nigeria, the article examines how displacement through infrastructure projects is being legitimised in development discourse.

Informality and Labour Regulations in Ghana
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2019)
The book makes a major contribution to the controversy about the factors driving the persistence and expansion of the informal economy. Unlike most others studies which either take a structuralist or an actor’s choice approach to the topic, this study combines a careful assessment of the economic, social and political circumstances promoting informality with a meticulously carried out econometric analysis of the dominant characteristics of workers as well as enterprises in the informal economy

Neue Karten für die Neue Welt?
(De Gruyter Oldenbourg, 2019)
Der Artikel geht der Frage nach, welche Erfahrungen, Vorstellungen und Denkmuster aus der Antike im Zeitraum zwischen etwa 1450 und 1550 die Exploration neuer Meere und Länder antrieben. Dabei richtet sich die Analyse vor allem auf Diskurse, Techniken und Praktiken, die eingesetzt wurden, um die Dynamiken der frühneuzeitlichen Expansion in kartographische Bilder zu übersetzen und die Welt kartographisch zu konfigurieren. Die Untersuchung erfolgt in drei Schritten, die erstens die Rezeption divergierender antiker ...

Winds and Continents: Concepts for Structuring the World and Its Parts
(De Gruyter, 2019)
The present essay is an attempt to show how and why winds and geographic entities, originally referred to as the parts of the earth and only later as continents, became important for the perception of the structure of the world. My starting point is Burchard of Mount Zion’s travel report ‘Descriptio terrae sanctae’, written between 1274 and 1285, which was based on these two concepts. Versions of that report, which circulated from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, were adorned with various illustrations. I ...

Architekturlandschaften
(2019)
Ein Blick aus dem Autofenster hat mir im Winter eine Landschaft gezeigt, die ich in den anderen Jahreszeiten so noch nie wahrgenommen hatte. Dieser Blick hat nur einige Sekunden gedauert, aber ausgereicht, meine Neugier zu wecken und interdisziplinär im Schnittfeld von Architektur und Bildung, mit kunstwissenschaftlicher Architekturgeschichte zur Analyse, zu forschen. Mit meinen Bildungsspaziergängen möchte ich Entdecken und folglich das Entdeckte sichtbar machen, um die Ideengeschichte der jeweilige Gesellschaftsform, ...

Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a core element of the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda.

- the lack of training and education which leave smallholders and ...
