Menschenrechtsdiskussionen, globale (Sozial-) Politik und die Bemuhungen der UN fur Menschliche Entwicklung ( Human Development") und Menschliche Sicherheit ( Human Security") geraten in zwei grundsatzliche Sackgassen" Zum einen wird ein bestimmtes Mo-dell von existierenden entwickelten Staaten," d.h. mit hoch entwickeltem Kapitalismus, als einziges Ideal vorgestellt, ohne dass andere fortschrittliche Modelle ernsthaft berucksichtigt werden. Eine mogliche denkbare Alternative ist hochstens die romantisierende Vorstellung einer guten" Gesellschaft, welche sich in vielen Fallen auf eine Art...

Europaische Sozialpolitik wird immer wieder mit Blick auf die Institutionen und die Politik-bereiche diskutiert - und es wird stets bemangelt, dass sie wenig entwickelt ist bzw. spat erst entwickelt wurde. Dabei ist ein wichtiger Aspekt fortwahrend vergessen: Es geht auch hier um eine Ordnungspolitik," mit der verschiedenen Akteuren Rollen zugewiesen werden.

In addition, one contribution looks in particular at the development of human resources in the UK and in another contribution an analysis of empirical data is provided it looks at the perspective from EU-NGOs active in the sector of social service provision. The...

Recent debates on and around the economic crisis frequently highlighted the issue of rights: social rights, fundamental rights and human rights ..., and not least the question of ethics and politics. Politics and ethics are surely a major issue, both part of a complex hegemonic system. And equally important is to think about rights on the said level in more complex ways, seeing them not as static or simply developing in a linear way towards any kind of an 'absolute idea'. Equally misleading is thinking about rights in terms of relativism, leaving their definition to discourses and making them...

Cosmopolitans... - it is reasonably easy to define what it means; it is increasingly the case that we come across them. But it may be rare to see reflections that are both, sociologically well informed and at the same time entertaining - a Turkish friend from Australia suggested to the author of the present notes to call it sociotainment... - though she admitted that she got the term from her husband from India...
