International treaties, conventions, and organizations to protect refugees were established in the aftermath of World War II to protect people escaping targeted persecution by their own governments. However, the nature of cross-border displacement has transformed dramatically since then. Such threats as environmental change, food insecurity, and generalized violence force massive numbers of people to flee states that are unable or unwilling to ensure their basic rights, as do conditions in failed and fragile states that make possible human rights deprivations. Because these reasons do not meet the legal understanding of persecution, the victims of these circumstances are not usually recognized as "refugees," preventing current institutions from ensuring their protection. In this book, Alexander Betts develops the concept of "survival migration" to highlight the crisis in which these people find themselves. Examining flight from three of the most fragile states in Africa--Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Somalia--Betts explains variation in institutional responses across the neighboring host states. There is massive inconsistency. Some survival migrants are offered asylum as refugees; others are rounded up, detained, and deported, often in brutal conditions. The inadequacies of the current refugee regime are a disaster for human rights and gravely threaten international security. In Survival Migration, Betts outlines these failings, illustrates the enormous human suffering that results, and argues strongly for an expansion of protected categories

Temporary international relocation initiatives (TIRIs) for artists and cultural workers are a form of international solidarity. Yet they are embedded in a context shaped by colonial history and global North-South power dynamics. In this report, the authors draw on the experiences of relocated artists as well as those of team members within TIRIs and host organisations to examine if TIRIs are currently equipped to identify power asymmetries, injustice, discrimination and racism at individual, institutional and structural levels and to effectively mitigate them. Finally, they develop holistic practical recommendations for greater equity and justice as well as an anti-racist approach for TIRIs and host organisations. This report addresses decision-makers and teams in TIRIs and host organisations, arts institutions, funders and policymakers. Both recognizing the existence of structural, systemic and individual injustice, racism and discrimination, and contributing to their eradication requires discomfort and constant self-reflection. Therefore, this report is an exercise in sitting with discomfort. The authors see this discomfort as a catalyst for change processes - an engine to sustain pressure to enact this change that cannot simply be dissolved by individual action.

Die Außenbeziehungen der EU sind durch den Lissaboner Vertrag nicht nur institutionell verankert, sondern haben Brüssel auch zu einem Ernst zu nehmenden Akteur auf der internationalen Bühne werden lassen. Gleichzeitig sind, je nach Politikfeld, unterschiedlichste Arrangements von Kompetenzen, Organen und Handlungsformen entstanden, oft überlagert von supranationalem und intergouvernementalem Handeln.Das Handbuch lichtet das Dickicht, strukturiert das Recht der Außenbeziehungen der EU und macht so die unterschiedlichen juristischen Regelungen handhabbar. Themen wie Annexaußenkompetenzen, gemischte Abkommen, Hoher Vertreter, externe Demokratieförderung, Assoziierung, handelspolitische Schutzmaßnahmen, Währungsaußenpolitik, WTO-Recht, die neuen EU-Kompetenzen für ausländische Investitionen, Frontex oder GSVP-Missionen werden in ihren Zusammenhang gestellt und erläutert.Die Kapitel behandeln im Einzelnen:Das System der Europäischen AußenbeziehungenAußenkompetenzen der EUBinnenorganisation der EU-AußenpolitikBeziehungen zu Drittstaaten und internationalen OrganisationenNachbarschaftspolitikEntwicklungszusammenarbeit und Humanitäre HilfeDas System des Europäischen AußenwirtschaftsrechtsVerhältnis zum nationalen AußenwirtschaftsrechtVertragliche Handelspolitik der EUDie EU als Mitglied der WTOAutonome HandelspolitikInvestitionsschutzMigration von DrittstaatsangehörigenAuswärtige Annexkompetenzen interner PolitikenGASP und äußere SicherheitFührende Autorinnen und Autoren unter der Herausgeberschaft von Andreas von Arnauld machen das noch junge Rechtssystem der Außenbeziehungen greifbar und verständlich. Nicht nur Europa- wie Völkerrechtler und Fachjuristen der betroffenen Politikbereiche profitieren hiervon. Auch Politikwissenschaft wie -beratung werden die Gesamtdarstellung zu schätzen wissen

Treating people with disabilities in adult education equally: this is the stipulation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the declared aim of the German educational system. In order to provide the basics as far as the organisation and the didactics are concerned, this publication for the first time combines the disciplines pedagogy for the disabled, adult education and sociology. Thereby each contribution is commented from the perspective of the respective other discipline and is evaluated regarding its transferability or difference. Due to the link of the various approaches to inclusion practice fields of adult education are opened up. Initially, the term inclusion is defined and discussed in detail from the view of the scientific sectors. Then the requirements of inclusive and including adult education organisations are analysed and finally didactic approaches are related to one another and developed further.
This publication continues the discourse from the publication "Inklusion und Weiterbildung" (inclusion and further education) from the year 2010.
