Nicaragua: Neue Wege in Sozialpolitik und ländlicher Entwicklung?
(Universität Kassel, Fachbereich Gesellschaftswissenschaften, Fachgebiet Internationale und Intergesellschaftliche Beziehungen, 2011)
Seit Anfang 2007 wird Nicaragua wieder von Daniel Ortega und der FSLN regiert. Trotz weit verbreiteter Skepsis auch innerhalb der Nicaragua-Solidaritätsbewegung, erhoffte man sich zumindest einige soziale Verbesserungen. Das vorliegende Working Paper beschäftigt sich mit der Politik der FSLN in den Bereichen Sozialpolitik und ländliche Entwicklung. Dabei wird insbesondere das unter dem Namen ‚Hambre Cero’ (Null Hunger) bekannt gewordene Programa Productivo Alimentario (PPA) genauer untersucht und im Kontext des sich ...

Decent work?
(ICDD, International Center for Development and Decent Work, University of Kassel, 2013-03)
Pastoralism and ranching are two different rangeland-based livestock systems in dryland areas of East Africa. Both usually operate under low and irregular rainfall and consequently low overall primary biomass production of high spatial and temporal heterogeneity.
Both are usually located far from town centres, market outlets and communication,
medical, educational, banking, insurance and other infrastructure. Whereas pastoralists can be regarded as self-employed, gaining their livelihood from managing their ...

Somalische Piraten vor der Küste eines Failed State?
(Universität Kassel, Fachbereich Gesellschaftswissenschaften, Fachgebiet Internationale und Intergesellschaftliche Beziehungen, 2011)

Working paper
Constructing a ‘moment of crisis’ and its adequate solution
(2011-05-23)
The rejection of the European Constitution marks an important crystallization point for debate about the European Union (EU) and the integration process. The European Constitution was envisaged as the founding document of a renewed and enlarged European Union and thus it was rather assumed to find wide public support. Its rejection was not anticipated. The negative referenda in France and the Netherlands therefore led to a controversial debate about the more fundamental meaning and the consequences of the rejection ...

Beyond the Prototypical Male Migrant
(2010-06-07)
The primary theoretical accounts of migration have been largely unaffected by the feminisation of migration. But this does not mean that they are gender neutral. Drawing on the concept of gender knowledge developed by German sociologists Irene Dölling and Sünne Andresen, on the feminist critique of knowledge, feminist economics and studies on gender and migration, the paper interrogates two influential models of migration from neoclassical economics for their gendered assumptions: the Roy-Borjas selection model of ...

Anti-austerity movements and authoritarian statism in Portugal
(2017-08-28)
In the last decade, Portugal saw different forms of open class struggle. Since 2003, the ruling class has been attacking the tremendous achievements of the 500 days of the Portuguese Revolution of 1974-1975 (Raposo 2015: 6). Today, privatisation, wage cuts, de-industrialisation and other forms of neoliberal ‘reforms’ are being implemented. The working class, the poor and the youth did not silently stand by and watch the dismantling of the welfare state that they and their parents had gained by significant effort ...
