European Union and its Neighbours in a Globalized World

This book presents an in-depth, comparative analysis of the legal and social policy challenges arising from EU accession in Central and Eastern European countries, promoting a comparative understanding of the impacts on labour and social security law resulting from participation in the EU.&nbsp;Membership in the European Union has profoundly influenced the development of labour and social security law in the countries that joined it in 2004. Key areas such as anti-discrimination law, working time regulations, rules on posting workers, and work-life balance have undergone significant transformations. EU accession has also reshaped how social security regulations work, while fundamental aspects of employee-employer relations, including collective bargaining and occupational health and safety, have seen notable changes as well.
The book not only addresses the main characteristics and current dynamics of social law regulations in an ever-evolving Europe but also provides valuable insights into methods for addressing these challenges through improved labour regulations.
This book offers an essential resource for understanding the complexities and dynamics of labour and social security law in the context of EU enlargement, offering critical perspectives on both historical developments and future trends.

Wie sollten wir mit Menschen umgehen, deren politische Ansichten uns fremd oder sogar gefährlich erscheinen? Sympathisanten der extremen Rechten sind Kolleginnen, Vereinsfreunde, Nachbarn - und damit Teil unseres engsten Umfelds. Die Soziologin und Journalistin Jana Glaese lotet aus, wie jenseits öffentlicher Empörung und moralischer Eindeutigkeit alltägliches Zusammenleben möglich ist - und wann nicht.¿Ein kluger Beitrag, der davon erzählt, wie wir in einer polarisierten Gesellschaft zugleich kritisch und verbunden bleiben.

Mit Rechten leben

THE NEW

Die 17 Beiträge in diesem Band untersuchen Möglichkeiten für eine demokratische Erneuerung von Demokratien. Von der Bedeutung des (säkularen) 'Glaubens' bis zur Rückgewinnung der Gemeingüter zielt jeder Essay darauf ab, einen Samen zu pflanzen, der das Versprechen demokratischer Potentiale trägt. Mit Themen wie planetarer Wandel, KI und plurale Wissenssysteme wirkt das Buch als Inspiration, die zu unorthodoxen, mitfühlenden und experimentellen Ansätzen aufruft. Es ist eine Einladung, demokratische Zukünfte zu kultivieren, die ebenso vielfältig, resilient und lebendig sind, wie die Gesellschaften, denen sie zu dienen beabsichtigen.

Impulse für demokratische Zukünfte

Demokratie säen

What is tradition in American constitutional law, and what is its enduring appeal in American culture? In The Constitution of Practice, Marc O. DeGirolami presents and defends his theory of constitutional law, one rooted in our political, legal, and cultural experience. He argues that constitutional traditions are the ways in which we manifest, give concrete form to, and transmit political excellence across time. He explains how traditions also bind us to one another, strengthening the civic affection necessary to a democratic republic. Responding to several criticisms, the author discusses the relationship of constitutional method and American politics, evaluating traditionalism's political adhesion and its prospects in the coming decades. At a time when Americans increasingly do not trust their institutions, DeGirolami explores how a traditionalist approach to the Constitution can begin to repair the disaffection that many now feel for their legal institutions.

<div>Leading pain expert Dr. Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of understanding—and treating—pain—it's The Body Keeps the Score for chronic pain. Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an aging&nbsp;body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was ... wrong? &nbsp; We’ve been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain—influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations, and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain&nbsp;can change, pain&nbsp;can change.&nbsp; &nbsp; Rooted in cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Dr. Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we’ve been sold—finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person—not just a body part. A groundbreaking, revolutionary book that finally offers access to the world’s most powerful painkiller: YOU. “This book is a must read for anyone struggling with chronic pain. Filled with moving stories and the latest science, Zoffness explains how pain works and why so many treatments fall short. Her message is ultimately a hopeful one: By changing our brains we can lessen our pain. I highly recommend." ―Anna Lembke, MD, Professor and Medical Director, Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic, Stanford University, New York Times bestselling author of Dopamine Nation "In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Zoffness dismantles outdated myths about pain and brilliantly reveals new ways to overcome it. Filled with the latest science, this is a must read for both doctors and patients, and frankly anyone grappling with chronic pain.” ―William W. Li, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Eat To Beat Disease, former faculty at Harvard Medical School</div>

This book is concerned with the practical, ethical and political realities of critical research around state punishment. By definition, critical research is a dynamic and political process which recognizes the broad structural contexts within which human action takes place. Critical researchers argue for a more dynamic and reflexive approach to research, and have duties to expose oppressive structures and practices, make audible voices that are habitually silenced, and empower and emancipate marginalized groups and individuals. Based on a series of interviews conducted with researchers within and outside of academia, this book aims to capture the personal challenges, ethical dilemmas, practical obstacles, positive rewards and (potential or actual) harmful effects of undertaking critical research concerned with state punishment. It will also explore the different mediums used to disseminate research findings and how such findings are received by peers, the public and the state.Researching Punishment is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology, media, sociology, journalism, film studies, and cultural studies.

Critical Reflections

Researching Punishment

A riveting account of how the US criminal legal system punishes millions without conviction--asking us to rethink the freedoms we give up for the illusion of safety.Every encounter with the criminal legal system, from a traffic stop to a day in jail, carries a human cost. This cost rests on a fragile bargain at the heart of our democracy: we give the government power in exchange for protection. But how much of our liberty are we willing to surrender for the promise of safety? In Collateral Damage, attorneys Justin and Zach Brooks take readers on a devastating tour through the criminal legal system, exposing the real-life trade-offs of this false promise. Blending gripping personal stories with legal analysis, they trace the long arc of America's struggle between fear and freedom--from the Red Scare and Japanese American internment to the evolution of criminal procedure, civil forfeiture, and today's extrajudicial killings, offering pragmatic reforms along the way. The result is an eye-opening portrait of a system that punishes millions without ever sending them to prison and a powerful warning to rethink whether the balance we've struck truly reflects the values we claim to hold.
