V&R unipress GmbH National Paradigms of Migration Research
Book SynopsisThe different traditions of migration research in different countries are closely related to national political patterns and the self-image of the respective nation-state -- either affirmatively reinforcing or critically questioning. If you place them side by side, much becomes questionable and debatable that previously seemed self-evident. This volume presents the migration research traditions in twelve countries: the traditional immigration countries Canada and Australia, four European countries with decades of immigration experience (Great Britain, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands), the new immigration countries Italy, Poland and Japan and the postcolonial countries India, Malaysia and Nigeria. In this way, from a comparative perspective, the volume opens the way to a better understanding of different research traditions, beyond the traditional Western context of discussion. We can better understand and put into perspective the different patterns of inclusion and exclusion of immigrants and intellectual discourses if we confront them with other solutions and traditions of thought. Since the key disciplines of migration research are not the same in different countries, the volume also contains a pluralism of subject approaches: sociologists, political scientists, ethnologists, economists and philosophers define migration, integration and their relationships to social structures. In doing so, you question assumptions that are taken for granted in the respective context.

Pentagon Press Afghanistan in Transition: Beyond 2014?
Book SynopsisAfghanistan is in for yet another phase of uncertainties as the so far scheduled withdrawl or major reduction of international forces in 2014 comes closer. The international community is perplexed by the complexities of an effective inteqal (transition) and by the modalities that are so far being worked at for ensuring it.This book brings together varied Afghan voices to set the agenda, address critical gaps in the ongoing inteqal process, 2012-14 and suggest alternate course of action by setting a forward looking agenda, beyond 2014. The strength of this volume stems from the rich contributions by experts and practitioners from the field, providing an in-depth analysis of the perceptions, needs and preparedness on the ground.The common thread that runs through all the chapters of the book is that inteqal process needs to be Afghan led and Afghan owned. This book provides diverse perspectives of the Afghans by taking a realistic assessment of the achievements and challenges in building local capacities and institutions in key sectors-security, political, governance and economic, for these would form the basis of future progress.By delving into a range of complex interrelated issues such as security and political sector reform; peace processes-reconciliation, reintegration; economic opportunities- investment, trade and connectivity; civilian surge-aid coordination and effectiveness; strategic communication; role of women, international organisations and non governmental organisations- both from a micro and macro perspective, this volume highlights several critical components of the inteqal process that need immediate and sustained attention. Chapters on regional perspectives and also the US perspective provide important insights into the role of external players in the present imbroglio.This book is a valuable and timely contribution to the academic and policy discourse on the prospects of effective transition and long-term stabilization of Afghanistan.
