Assessing the Level of Self-Reliance and Livelihood of Encamped Refugees
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2020)
Achieving self-reliance among refugees is favoured by many international organisations, though hardly achieved for refugee camps. In many cases, deprived of their human rights, located in remote areas and without access to the local labour market, encamped refugees have no other opportunity than turning to negative coping mechanisms to survive, including sex work, child labour, crime and dangerous work in the informal sector. This book concentrates on measuring self-reliance and identifying factors influencing it in ...

Competitive Pressures and Labour Rights
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, 2020)
While the link between trade liberalisation and labour rights has been mostly studied at a national level, this book analyses this relation at a sectoral level. It draws on case studies of oil palm plantations and the automobile sector in Indonesia. Two main research questions guide the book:
1. How do labour- and capital-intensive sectors in Indonesia respond to competitive pressures brought about by trade liberalisation?
2. What are the implications of such responses on labour rights in the two sectors?
Employing ...

20 Jahre Kumulieren und Panaschieren
(2021-04)
Alle fünf Jahre werden in Hessen die Kreistage, Gemeindevertretungen und Ortsbeiräte gewählt.

Mitunter wird dann behauptet, das komplexe Wahlsystem sei gar die Ursache für die sinkende Wahlbeteiligung. Aus Anlass des 20-jährigen Bestehens werden im vorliegenden Aufsatz die demokratietheoretischen ...

Burkina Faso Under the Presidency of Thomas Sankara – A Post-Developmental State ?
(2023-05)
Thomas Sankara, one of the most celebrated African idols, was president of Burkina Faso from 1983 until his assassination in 1987. The politics he realized with his government were vanguard in more than one regard: The country’s feminist politics queried patriarchy by promoting equal rights and duties for women and men in several different domains; along with the country’s citizens, migrants could participate in policy-making and thereby shape politics; redistribution was made a political goal aspiring to overcome ...
