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.

Im Kontext der Professionalisierung angehender (Sport-)Lehrkräfte kommt der Fähigkeit zur Reflexion besondere Bedeutung zu. Für ihre Förderung stellt die Arbeit mit (Video-)Fällen eine geeignete und anerkannte Methodik dar. Die Fallarbeit kann sich sowohl auf fremde videografierte als auch auf selbst erlebte Unterrichtsereignisse beziehen. Die Schulpraktischen Studien bieten als Theorie und Praxis verbindende Veranstaltungen Gelegenheit für das Sammeln eigener Unterrichtserfahrungen. Sie stellen damit einen geeigneten ...

Greater involvement of women within the labour force has economic and social impact. The Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) for India remains appallingly low at around 27%, while the male labour force participation rate has been 79.9%. In India, during 1990–2016, the FLFPR (% of female population age 15+) showed a declining trend. In this paper, the determinants of FLFPR for India have been estimated using regression analysis for the time period 1990–2016. Data on all the relevant variables have ...

This dissertation examined the effect of event history on anticipatory behavior in tennis. The starting point of this work is that athletes rely on both kinematic cues from their opponent’s movements and contextual cues when anticipating opponent’s action intentions in time-constrained sport situations. Based on the assumption that the outcome of previous events depicts a relevant contextual cue which influences anticipation towards a subsequent event in time-constrained sport situations even in the presence of ...

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 in comparison to those ...

The PhD thesis "The Passive Revolution of Good Living: Class Struggle and Productive Transformation Policy in Ecuador (2007-2017)" suggests an interpretation of Ecuador's so-called ‘Citizens’ Revolution’ – CR – as the political project of a 'cadre fraction’: a ‘state class fraction’ whose legitimacy and political power is grounded in specialized knowledge and planning capabilities. Breaking the “catastrophic equilibrium” in which the anti-neoliberal forces and the dominant classes ended up at the beginning of the ...

‘‘Glauben Sie mir, ich habe mich schon sehr viel umgeschaut, aber ich finde einfach keinen Praktikumsplatz!’’ — ‘‘Ich weiß ja gar nicht, was ich überhaupt machen kann!’’ — ‘‘Ich sehe nicht, wie ich Inhalte aus meinem Studium im Beruf anwenden kann!’’ — ‘‘Mit dem, was mir Spaß macht, finde ich keinen Job!’’ — ‘‘Ich möchte nicht in die Marktforschung, gibt es überhaupt Alternativen?’’ Dies sind nur ein paar exemplarisch ausgewählte Fragen, die uns immer wieder begegnet sind. Immer wieder kommen solche unangenehmen ...

This volume is an attempt to illuminate the way geographic space was described and visualized in premodern times and how significantly these depictions differed from region to region, from period to period, and from context to context. Various methods of mapmaking and different ways of putting travel experiences into words yielded different results. The history of travel and mapmaking does not reveal a continuous evolutionary progression, but, rather, results in the delineation of individual distinctionsand differences ...
