Faris: Microfinance: A Historical
Perspective on Its Role in Poverty Redu

Microfinance: A Historical Perspective on Its Role in Poverty Reduction

Was wir vom Tod fürs Leben lernen können
 
 Christoph Kuckelkorn, Bestattermeister aus Köln, führt ein „Doppelleben“: Zum einen lenkt er eines der ältesten Bestattungsunternehmen in Deutschland, gleichzeitig fungiert er als Präsident des Festkomitee Kölner Karneval. Was wie ein Widerspruch klingt, bedeutet für ihn eine Einheit. Wie kaum ein anderer durchlebt er tagtäglich das Wechselspiel zwischen Glück und Trauer, Ausgelassenheit und Verzweiflung.
 
 Tod und Leben – zwischen beiden Welten bewegt sich Christoph Kuckelkorn mühelos, manchmal innerhalb nur weniger Stunden: morgens die Vorbereitung einer Beerdigung, mittags eine Sitzung beim Festkomitee, nachmittags ein Trauergespräch mit Hinterbliebenen, abends eine Prunksitzung. Sein Beruf lehrt ihn jeden Tag aufs Neue, wie zerbrechlich unser Dasein ist, wie plötzlich sich alles ändern kann. Und danach Totenwache. Die Gleichzeitigkeit der Gefühle ist für ihn keine Theorie, sondern tägliche Praxis, die ihn viel über das Leben gelehrt hat. Er propagiert das Leben im Hier und Jetzt. Und praktiziert es.
 
 Als Wanderer zwischen den Welten hat Christoph Kuckelkorn seine packende Biographie und ein großes und inspirierendes Buch über den Sinn und Wert des Lebens geschrieben.

»Der Tod ist dein letzter großer Termin«

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2026 in the subject Guidebooks - School, Education, Pedagogy, , course: Education Management and Administration, language: English, abstract: Zambia's rural households face recurrent climate shocks, thin markets, and persistent poverty, which heighten vulnerability and limit productive investment. In this context, work¿conditional social protection programmes such as Food¿for¿Work (FFW) and Cash¿for¿Work (CFW) aim to stabilise consumption while building community assets. Yet evidence on their comparative effectiveness remains fragmented and sensitive to market conditions, seasonality, and implementation quality.
This thesis assesses FFW and CFW in Zambia, examining targeting accuracy, delivery efficiency, asset quality, and cost¿effectiveness, alongside impacts on food security, diversification, savings, debt, assets, labour allocation, and subjective well¿being. Special attention is given to heterogeneity by market access, timing within agricultural calendars, gender, and shock exposure. A mixed¿methods design combines a three¿wave household panel with qualitative process data. Propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting construct comparable groups, followed by difference¿in¿differences and fixed¿effects models; instrumental variables address potential endogeneity. Standardised indicators including HDDS, FCS, CSI, PMT scores, and Simpson Index guide measurement. 
Results show both modalities reduce negative coping and stabilise consumption. CFW yields greater improvements in dietary diversity and flexibility where markets and payment systems function well. FFW performs better in remote areas, during price spikes, and in lean seasons by guaranteeing staple supplies. Timing is critical: pre¿lean¿season transfers reduce distress sales and improve input access. CFW supports small enterprise entry, savings, and livestock gains; FFW protects schooling, meal frequency, and labour productivity. Both reduce high¿interest borrowing, though via different channels. 
Implementation quality strongly shapes outcomes. FFW faces logistical risks, while CFW is vulnerable to payment delays and inflation. Cost¿effectiveness varies by geography, with CFW cheaper in connected areas and FFW preferable where cash conversion is costly. Gender effects show increased autonomy under CFW and reduced budgeting stress under FFW, moderated by childcare and worksite conditions.

Rural development is one of the most complex and topical research areas, requiring interdisciplinary approaches and the proposal of multifunctional, sustainable economic development models grounded in both theoretical and empirical studies. Such studies emphasize socio-economic indicators that can improve policy approaches to analysis, evaluation, and decision-making. Shifts in rural development policies-from a sectoral to a multisectoral perspective and, more recently, to a territorial approach that embraces local community development-highlight the need for socio-economic indicators related to rural development opportunities generated by various domains (e.g., agriculture, tourism). Rural areas are among those experiencing the most profound transformations in recent years, driven by demographic challenges, economic fluctuations and uncertainties, environmental risks, and the impacts of climate change. These factors significantly increase population vulnerability worldwide in rural regions. Population growth and resource scarcity or depletion become even more acute when access to education, financial resources, or transportation infrastructure is limited by unbalanced investments and inadequate planning resulting from deficient administrative systems. Conversely, the rapid development of digital technologies-including smart agriculture, smart household technologies, and digital systems of education and administration-demonstrates clear opportunities for growth and development while improving resource accessibility for rural regions and among more vulnerable demographic groups.

This second edition of The Palgrave Handbook of Criminology and the Global South&nbsp;significantly expands, develops and draws together the rapidly growing research and theory about crime, punishment, security, prisons, policing, gender violence, environmental justice, island justice and justice innovations from, of and about the Global South. It addresses the hegemonic bias in the production and dissemination of criminological knowledge and covers a huge scope of research methodologies and lines of inquiry to develop a transnational criminology inclusive of the experiences and perspectives of the Global South. It includes Indigenous, critical, green, southern, feminist, counter-colonial, post-colonial and de-colonial approaches. It seeks to&nbsp;contribute to the bridging of global divides and reducing inequities with the aim to democratise criminological knowledges.

The Palgrave Handbook of Criminology and the Global South

Dieses Buch ist aus persönlichen Erlebnissen, Eindrücken und einigen prägenden Reisen während eines fünfjährigen Aufenthalts in der Ukraine um die Jahrtausendwende entstanden. Neben Schilderungen des Alltags ist insbesondere die Begegnung mit Landschaften und Orten Ausgangspunkt für ein detaillierteres Eingehen auf geschichtliche und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen des Landes. Thematisiert werden auch aktuelle und tiefverwurzelte Probleme wie die Sprachenfrage und die Frage der Nationenbildung, die dem seit 2022 wütenden Krieg mit zugrunde liegen. Neben die alltäglichen Nachrichten von Krieg und Zerstörung möchte das Buch das Bild eines geschichtsträchtigen, kulturell höchst interessanten und reichen Landes mit Menschen "wie du und ich" stellen, die sich, nicht anders als wir, eine friedliche und sichere Zukunft - in ihrem Land, der Ukraine - wünschen. Nicht zuletzt thematisiert das Buch auch zahlreiche Aspekte der "ukrainisch-deutschen" Geschichte.

In the decades following the Second World War, the existence of authoritarian regimes on the Iberian Peninsula undermined the idea of a "free West." At the same time, Spain and Portugal were emerging as ever more popular holiday destinations for West European tourists. This book analyzes how tourism shaped the relations between West European democracies and the Iberian regimes: Government officials and entrepreneurs established touristic infrastructures, travel writers addressed the tension between visitors' leisure and locals' oppression, activists called for a boycott of tourism to the authoritarian regimes. In a period shaped by the Cold War, tourism turned the Iberian regimes into Europe's favourite dictatorships.&nbsp;

Um den Sinn und die Kraft des Rechts zu erschließen, müssen wir weit über die formalen Bausteine staatlicher Rechtsordnungen hinausblicken. Ausgehend von der amerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung und der jüdischen Rechtstradition erkunden Robert Covers bahnbrechende Essays die existenzielle Dichte rechtlicher Weltformung. Nachgezeichnet wird das Wechselspiel von Visionen, Narrativen, tätiger Hingabe und Gewalt, in dem eine unaufhebbare Vielfalt gesellschaftlicher Perspektiven um den Sinn des Rechts ringt. Kaum ein juristischer Autor hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine so breite interdisziplinäre Rezeption erfahren wie Cover. Mit diesem Band wird sein Werk nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache zugänglich gemacht.

According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, today, approximately one in six Jews in Israel is a Haredi (ultra-Orthodox). The Bureau forecasts that if current demographic trends continue, by 2040, approximately one in four Israeli Jews will be a Haredi. By 2065, four in ten Israeli Jews will be Haredim, leading to a Haredi majority by the end of the century.In recent years, Israeli Haredi society has been the subject of intensive public and scholarly attention that focused on the concept of "Israelization" and implied it is going through a profound, irreversible transformation that is bringing it closer to integration into the Zionist majority.Based on field studies and textual studies, this edited volume offers critical reflections on the "Israelization" narrative and explores the strategies and mechanisms that have enabled Haredi society to go through changes without changing at its core and to steadily and massively grow. Written by an exceptionally diverse group of scholars, including Haredi, religious Zionist and secular Israelis, the book's chapters explore Haredi nuanced resistance to the majority society that has made it a fascinating case-study of fundamentalist navigation of modern and liberal realities. The chapters examine diverse facets of Haredi life, including the workplace, school curricula, women in politics, public health, college education, matchmaking, sexual abuse, prolonged singlehood, eulogies, cinema, celibacy, college education, and attitudes regarding Zionism. Appendices to the book include two in-depth and candid interviews with Haredi leaders.

Revisiting the “Israelization” Narrative

Development and Its Discontents is a critical examination of development studies' history and what it has become, and what it might yet be. It argues that the field is increasingly differentiated along competing modes of thought, worldviews, and claims to knowledge, bringing long-running debates about the study of development back into sharp focus. Drawing on cross-disciplinary thinking on development, from the rise of classical development economics and the anti-colonial momentum of the Bandung era to contemporary decolonial critiques, the book maps the intellectual currents that have shaped development studies and the tensions and debates that now structure it. The result is a framework for recognising the field's internal pluralism and for taking interdisciplinarity more seriously, without pretending that its disagreements are merely semantic. For scholars and students, Development and Its Discontents offers a guide to the intellectual architecture of development studies, its contested boundaries, and the questions now shaping its future.
