    Active Civic Participation of Immigrants – Mapping the European Research Landscape Working paper 1 prepared for the European research project POLITIS, Oldenburg 2005, www.uni-oldenburg.de/politis-europe POLITIS – a European research project Project information POLITIS is short for a research project with the full title: Building Europe with New Citizens? An Inquiry into the Civic Participation of Naturalised Citizens and Foreign Residents in 25 Countries. The European Commission funds the project that mainly seeks to improve our understanding of different factors that promote or inhibit active civic participation of immigrants. A unique project construction is developed that includes workshops with foreign- born students who are recruited as discussants and interviewers. National experts in all 25 EU countries have prepared country reports on the contextual conditions and state of research concerning civic participation of immigrants.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Graham Crow and Jaimie Ellis This is a book about another book, Divisions of Labour, written by R. E. (Ray) Pahl in 1984. There are several good reasons for returning to that book. First, it con- tains themes of enduring interest. It is about ordinary people and how they get by in difficult economic and social circumstances. It shows what can be learned about people’s everyday lives when ordinary activity is investigated in an imaginative and sustained way. Second, it has been an extraordinarily influential book in British sociology and in countries and disciplines beyond. The path-breaking arguments that it contains meant that it became, and remains, a significant reference point in the sociological sub-fields of work, households, gender, class and stratifica- tion, community and social history, while also providing numerous insights into broader theoretical debates. Healthy citation rates of a book well into its second quarter century since publication are unusual and thus indicate something special. The book tells us numerous things about how a particular piece of research can come to stand out as extraordinary. Third, we have a methodological interest. We have returned to this book because of what it reveals about the craft of con- ceiving, planning, undertaking and presenting research. Ray Pahl was more frank than most social and economic investigators either then or now about research practice. The book provides an account of serious mistakes made and how these problematic situations were retrieved. It is a story of a research project, warts and all, but not only warts; the book also includes gems that help to set it apart from other research monographs.

  • 7. Sexual Trends in the 1990S
    7. Sexual trends in the 1990s Summary of the implementation of the study The purpose of this book has been to compare sexual life in two Nordic countries and two areas of the former Soviet Union – Sweden (1996) and Finland (1971, 1992 and 1999), Estonia (2000) and St. Petersburg (1996) with the help of survey studies. It has also discussed the ways in which the sex lives of Finnish people have changed from the 1970s to the late 1990s. Certain questions concerning people’s behavior in youth have even allowed us to reach farther in time, and these findings present a picture of sexual history in the Baltic area from the 1930s up to the year 2000. The surveys present a picture that is complemented by stud- ies in Finland and St. Petersburg that were based on the sexual autobiographies of different generations (Kontula & Haavio-Mannila, 1995a; 1997; Rotkirch, 2000; Haavio-Mannila et al., 2002) as well as a study on the media spanning from the sixties to the nineties (Kontula & Kosonen, 1994; Kontula & Kosonen, 1996). In sexological research, it is always necessary to emphasize that not only bio- logical but also social and cultural factors strongly influence local sexual behavior and values. For example, variation in the average age at first intercourse in differ- ent parts of the world and between the two sexes was about ten years in the 1990s. Another example is that the impact of the Western sexual revolution has proved minor in the third world (Kontula, 2000a) – Western conceptions of sex remain foreign in many cultures worldwide.

  • Memory Politics in Contemporary Russia
    Memory Politics in Contemporary Russia This book examines the societal dynamics of memory politics in Russia. Since Vladimir Putin became president, the Russian central government has increas- ingly actively employed cultural memory to claim political legitimacy and dis- credit all forms of political opposition. The rhetorical use of the past has become adefining characteristic of Russian politics, creating a historical foundation for the regime’s emphasis on a strong state and centralised leadership. Exploring memory politics, this book analyses a wide range of actors, from the central government and the Russian Orthodox Church to filmmaker and cultural heavyweight Nikita Mikhalkov and radical thinkers such as Alek- sandr Dugin. In addition, in view of the steady decline in media freedom since 2000, it critically examines the role of cinema and television in shaping and spreading these narratives. Thus, this book aims to promote a better understanding of the various means through which the Russian government practices its memory politics (e.g. the role of state media) while at the same time pointing to the existence of alternative and critical voices and criticism that existing studies tend to overlook. Contributing to current debates in the field of memory studies and of cur- rent affairs in Russia and Eastern Europe, this book will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of Russian studies, cultural memory studies, nationalism and national identity, political communication, film, television and media studies. Mariëlle Wijermars is a postdoctoral researcher at the Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki. Studies in Contemporary Russia Series Editor: Markku Kivinen Studies in Contemporary Russia is a series of cutting-edge, contemporary studies.

  • Baltic Social Science Research in Scandinavian Countries and Germany
    Baltic Social Science Research in Scandinavian countries and Germany State of the Art Jesper Manniche Per Åke Nilsson Mette Krogh Olsen Håken R. Nilson Research Centre of Bornholm July 1998 Preface For 50 years the countries around the Baltic Sea were divided in two blocks: The Eastern communist block and the countries belonging to the Western hemisphere. After 1989 this picture changed dramatically. Old connections between the countries in the Baltic Sea Region were renewed and new ties of friendship are being established. Another consequence is the development of research concerning the region. A great number of universities and research institutes in the West have put research about the Baltic Sea Region on the agenda. Obviously many questions needed urgent action, e.g. reducing the pollution of air and water, creating and implementing a new security policy, improving trade relations and assistance to overcome the transition from planned economy to market economy. However, the research activities carried out hitherto have to a large extent been uncoordinated in character - both within the Baltic Sea countries in particular and at an international level. Some issues have been intensely and comprehensively analysed, as for instance the economic and political transition processes from planned to market economy, while other questions are almost untouched. Additionally, and perhaps as a result of this, a full overview of the current research activities concerning the Baltic Sea Region does not seem to exist. The intention of this report is to contribute to the formation of a general view over the ongoing research activities dealing with the Baltic Sea Region - a state-of-the-art.
