      Un-welcome to Denmark

      The paradigm shift and refugee integration

      by Michelle Pace

      Un-welcome to Denmark critically assesses Denmark's migration regime by directly engaging the voices of multiple stakeholders impacted by its harshness. It puts forward the theory of the unwelcome migrant by undertaking an extensive analysis of the programmatic and legal foundations for the undeserving migrant as well as of the lived experiences of Syrian refugees, and welfare professionals and private businesses tasked with supporting them. It thereby documents the ways in which the Danish migration gaze produces and perpetuates the hyper precarity of the everyday lives of Syrians and the anxiety that overshadows the manner in which Syrians and those who support them navigate its maze. By so doing, it traces how a once admired, liberal, tolerant and open society with a strong reverence for human rights has turned into one of the harshest migration regimes in Europe, if not internationally.

      (Un-)gerechte (Un-)Gleichheiten

      by Steffen Mau, Nadine M. Schöneck

      Ob es um Bildung, die Einkommen von Spitzenmanagern oder Ungleichheiten zwischen den Geschlechtern geht: Fragen der (Un-)Gleichheit und Gerechtigkeit begegnen uns täglich in den Medien. Gleichzeitig handelt es sich seit den Anfängen des Faches um klassische Themen der Soziologie: Wie viel Ungleichheit ist gerecht? Wie viel Ungleichheit kann eine Gesellschaft verkraften, wie viel braucht sie? Ab welchem Punkt drohen Widerstand oder Exklusion? In diesem Band beleuchten renommierte SozialwissenschaftlerInnen und Publizisten diese Fragen aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln. Das Buch bietet einen Überblick über die soziologische Debatte und schließt – durchaus polemisch – an aktuelle politische Diskussionen an. Mit Beiträgen von Jutta Allmendinger, Rainer Hank, Sighard Neckel, Paul Nolte, Hartmut Rosa u. a.

      Arctic state identity

      Geography, history, and geopolitical relations

      by Ingrid A. Medby

      This book sets out to answer what it means to hold a formal title as one of the eight 'Arctic states'; is there such a thing as an Arctic state identity, and if so, what does this mean for state personnel? It charts the thoughtful reflections and stories of state personnel from three Arctic states: Norway, Iceland, and Canada, alongside analysis of documents and discourses. This book shows how state identities are narrated as both geographical and temporal - understood through environments, territories, pasts and futures - and that any identity is always relational and contextual. As such, demonstrating that to understand Arctic geopolitics we need to pay attention to the people whose job it is to represent the state on a daily basis. And more broadly, it offers a 'peopled' view of geopolitics, introducing the concept and framework of 'state identity'.

      The illusion of the Burgundian state

      by Élodie Lecuppre-Desjardin, Christopher Fletcher

      On 25 January 1474, Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, appeared before his subjects in Dijon. Robed in silk, gold and precious jewels and wearing a headpiece that gave the illusion of a crown, he made a speech in which he cryptically expressed his desire to become a king. Three years later, Charles was killed at the battle of Nancy, an event that plunged the Great Principality of Burgundy into chaos. This book, innovative and essential, not only explores Burgundian history and historiography but offers a complete synthesis about the nature of politics in this region, considered both from the north and the south. Focusing on political ideologies, a number of important issues are raised relating to the medieval state, the signification of the nation under the 'Ancien Regime', the role of warfare in the creation of political power and the impact of political loyalties in the exercise of government. In doing so, the book challenges a number of existing ideas about the Burgundian state.

      Sovereignty disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea

      A public order perspective

      by Thomas D. Grant

      Because maritime questions are often admixed with territorial sovereignty questions, parties sometimes seek to settle them together. Jurisdiction under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea-UNCLOS-according to the received view does not encompass disputes concerning territorial sovereignty. In this book, international law scholar and practitioner Thomas D. Grant argues that the received view overstates the exclusion of sovereignty disputes. In Coastal State Rights, UNCLOS Annex VII arbitrators overstated the scope of the term 'sovereignty dispute' as well, an error of definition compounded when they ignored evidence probative as to whether a sovereignty dispute exists. Examining UNCLOS, its drafting history, and decades of decided cases, Sovereignty Disputes and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea relates an important problem of international dispute settlement to the public order of which UNCLOS forms part.
