Oelkers J: Vom Kinde aus? Maria
Montessori und ihre Pädagogik

Vom Kinde aus? Maria Montessori und ihre Pädagogik

Neue Kleine Bibliothek

Der globale Kapitalismus befindet sich in der Dauerkrise. Globale Finanzkrise, Eurokrise, 'Flüchtlingskrise', Corona­krise, Krise im Ergebnis der neuen Kriege von der Ukraine bis Nahost: Kaum scheint ein Krisenherd unter Kontrolle, schlägt die Dauerkrise aus einer unerwarteten Richtung zurück. Durch die Krisen verändert sich jedoch, wie schon immer in der Geschichte, auch der Kapitalismus selbst: Neoliberale Weltordnung und unangefochtene US-Hegemonie waren einmal. In den Konflikten um Aufstieg und Abstieg von Großmächten wird der Kapitalismus postliberal: Ent­demokratisierung, Autoritarismus, (Wirtschafts-)Nationalismus, Militarismus, Imperialismus und (Wirtschafts-)Krieg sind die neue Normalität. Am Horizont zeichnen sich die Konturen eines neuen Kalten Kriegs mit Aussicht auf heiße Stellvertreterkriege und Eskalation ab. Aber können die großen Menschheitsfragen wie Frieden, Sicherheit, soziale Ungleichheit, sozialer Zusammenhalt, Demokratie, Nachhaltigkeit, Klimaschutz und Artensterben warten? Ingar Solty zeigt Ursachen und Hintergründe der Krise auf - und Alternativen für eine bessere Zukunft für alle.

Renationalisierung - Krise - Krieg

Ibero-American Criminal Sciences

This book offers the first comprehensive English-language exploration of juvenicide, a concept that examines the killing of young people as a form of structural violence rather than ordinary homicide. While the term has circulated widely in Latin American scholarship, this volume brings together leading voices to consolidate its theoretical foundations and demonstrate its relevance across diverse contexts.The book is organized into four sections that collectively map the field of juvenicide studies. The first section establishes the conceptual framework and situates juvenicide within contemporary crises affecting youth. The second examines intersectional dimensions, including age, gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity, to show how these factors shape vulnerability to lethal violence. The third section analyzes institutional structures—state power, neoliberal policies, education systems, and criminal apparatus—that enable and normalize juvenicide. The final section turns to resistance, documenting collective struggles that challenge the disposability of young lives in countries such as El Salvador, Argentina, and Colombia.By framing juvenicide as a “total social fact,” the volume illuminates the political, structural, and symbolic forces that render certain youth populations expendable under neoliberal capitalism. Combining empirical research with conceptual innovation, this book provides critical insights for scholars of youth and violence, policymakers, and practitioners. It also serves as a valuable resource for courses on inequality, violence, and social justice in Latin America and beyond.

Psychologie für die Soziale Arbeit

Capitalism, Socialism, and Political Economy,&nbsp;
 is a three‑volume examination of the ideological, historical, and economic forces shaping global politics in the early twenty‑first century. Throughout the volumes, Kui‑Wai Li argues that many political dynamics commonly associated with the alt‑right have roots in the geopolitical and institutional arrangements formed at the end of World War II. Integrating political trends into economic analysis, these books provide an analytical framework for understanding how competing ideological systems continue to influence global development, institutional behavior, and public sentiment.
 Volume I presents the conceptual groundwork, clarifying the distinctions between capitalism and socialism/communism. It provides particular attention to the historical contexts that shaped these ideologies after 1945. The volume explores their respective strengths, weaknesses, and core principles while emphasizing the need to differentiate “difference” from “inequality” and to draw clear boundaries between economic and political claims.
 Building on this foundation, Volume II
 
 applies the framework to contemporary global trends across advanced economies, socialist states, emerging economies, Middle Eastern regions, and newer blocs such as BRICS. Through these cases, the volume analyzes phenomena including Brexit, Trumponomics, cancel culture, and the strategic development models adopted by authoritarian or socialist governments.
 Volume III extends the analysis to the politics of fear and sympathy—two themes the author identifies as shaping current debates around climate change, COVID‑19, welfare systems, and unauthorized immigration. It further examines how concepts such as freedom, choice, privacy, trade, and investment function within different political‑economic systems, including the growing influence of AI on perceptions of autonomy and national strategy. The concluding chapters synthesize insights across the series, offering a comprehensive account of how ideological tensions and institutional constraints continue to structure global political economy.Kui-Wai Li
 is an independent researcher and economist based in Canada. His research centers on political economy, development, policies, trade, and globalization.

Palgrave Studies in Technology and Innovation in Africa

The sustainability of higher education in Africa has become increasingly critical amid rapid technological advancement, rising demand for quality education, and the imperative for global engagement. As the continent's higher education systems confront evolving societal, economic, and environmental challenges, institutions must move beyond traditional models to embrace innovation and strategic transformation. This volume examines three interconnected pillars—digitalisation, internationalisation, and collaboration, demonstrating how they are reshaping the future of higher education across Africa. Drawing on diverse perspectives and empirical evidence, the chapters explore how these drivers can strengthen teaching, research, governance, and cross-border partnerships, while enhancing the sector's contribution to sustainable development. This book provides a timely resource for academics, researchers, policymakers, university leaders, higher education practitioners, and postgraduate students in higher education, educational policy, digital transformation, internationalisation, sustainability, and development in Africa.Emem Anwana was an Associate Professor in the Applied Law Department at Durban University of Technology, South Africa.

Sustainable Innovation of Higher Education in Africa

Argentine Freedom
 is the first account of the most disruptive figure in Argentine history since the nation’s return to democracy. In just a few years, Javier Milei rose from television economist and social media provocateur to president of a country long defined by crisis, state intervention, and political polarization. His ascent has sparked fierce debate at home and abroad: Is Milei a threat to democracy, a neo-conservative, or the herald of a much larger revival of the classical liberal tradition?
 
 The book provides a balanced examination of Milei’s rise to power. Rather than judging his policies, economic historian Sebastián Álvarez and political philosopher Ezequiel Spector ask a deeper set of questions: Where do Milei’s ideas come from? How do they relate to Argentina’s liberal tradition and its history of populism, socialism, and authoritarianism? And what does his presidency reveal about the tensions between liberty, equality, and democracy in the twenty-first century?&nbsp;
 
 Blending economic history, political philosophy, and contemporary analysis,&nbsp;
 Argentine Freedom
 traces Argentina’s long ideological arc from the liberal foundations of the 1853 Constitution, through Peronism, military rule, neoliberal reform, and the interventionist turn after the 2001 collapse, to the two liberal “waves” that culminated in Milei’s election. Along the way, it unpacks the meanings of liberalism and libertarianism, contrasts them with their main rivals, and situates Milei within both national history and a broader global surge of anti-establishment leaders.
 
 The resulting book offers a new way to understand Javier Milei as a political actor—and Argentina as a country once again at a crossroads.

Studies of Organized Crime

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of clan crime and criminal families, with a particular focus on Europe. It examines the phenomenon through anthropological, criminological, and socio-political perspectives, with particular attention to kinship, migration, media framing, gender, intergenerational transmission, and institutional responses. Rather than treating ‘clans’ as fixed or culturally homogeneous entities, it explores the conditions under which kinship-based networks may become involved in criminal activities.
It covers a range of topics, including:
<ul>
<li>the concepts of families, clans, and tribes;</li>
<li>the emergence of ‘clan crime’ in European media and political discourse;</li>
<li>migration, marginalisation, and criminal opportunities;</li>
<li>kinship, loyalty, secrecy, and conflict regulation in criminal clans;</li>
<li>women’s roles and the intergenerational continuity of crime;</li>
<li>interventions and policies to prevent and tackle serious and organised crime in kinship-based networks across Europe.</li>
</ul>
Ideal for academics, policymakers, law enforcement professionals, and social services practitioners, this volume provides a nuanced and empirically grounded account of clan- and family-based crime in contemporary Europe.
