Integration er som en glidebane. Selv om vi starter med at lovsynge antallet af danskpakistanere på medicinstudiet, ender vi umærkeligt med at skændes om kriminelle indvandrerdrenge, syrienskrigere og frikadeller i børnehaven. For enden af den glatte overflade er målet altid, at ?de? skal blive som ?os?: Smid tørklædet, lad forhuden være, og slå katten af tønden. Derfor skaber i-ordet ifølge Mikkel Rytter, velintegreret halalhippie på Aarhus Universitet, faktisk mange af de problemer, vi sigter mod at løse. Måske er det på tide at give integration det glatte lag?

La question de l'État, dans les sciences sociales, ne peut se cantonner à étudier les rapports entre l'État et la société. Bien que souvent spontanément présente dans ces disciplines, une telle représentation les condamne de facto à démissionner devant l'État et à adopter des langages étrangers à leur épistémologie. Au mythe de la dissociation de l'État et de la société, les sciences sociales sont obligées d'opposer une autre conception de l'État qui le maintient dans une étroite dépendance de l'ensemble social dont il est un élément de différenciation. État et société ne sauraient par conséquent être considérés comme deux entités de nature équivalente, car l'un est contenu par l'autre. Cela n'empêche pas toutefois de reconnaître à l'État une place prééminente et de concevoir qu'il participe à la reproduction des rapports sociaux de pouvoir. La perspective sociologique donne ainsi à l'État une physionomie particulière. Elle fait porter des exigences fortes sur l'enquête empirique. Elle modifie également profondément le concept de l'État lui-même. Les contributions à ce volume, qui proviennent de la plume de juristes et de politistes, d'anthropologues, de sociologues et de philosophes, ont en commun d'assumer cette perspective dans ses attendus et ses conséquences. Elles jettent ainsi une lumière plus réaliste aussi bien sur la genèse historique de l'État, telle qu'elle procède de l'avènement des sociétés modernes, que sur l'expérience politique que nous faisons, dans la vie sociale telle que nous connaissons aujourd'hui, de l'État et du rôle qu'il y joue comme institution.

"This volume uses the theory of the civil sphere to shed new light on Nordic societies, while at the same time drawing on the distinctive experiences of the Nordic nations to reflect on and advance the theory of the civil sphere. Nordic societies have long been admired for creating a distinctive form of social democracy, but this admirable achievement has not been well conceptualized theoretically. Most attempts to explain Nordic social democracy focus on material and organizational factors. This volume, by contrast, emphasizes the cultural foundations and characteristics of social democracy, demonstrating how civil sensibilities are necessary for the creation of an egalitarian and democratic state"--

"Are new forms of activism emerging in Algeria? Can civil society effect political reform in the country? The violence between radical Islamists and the military during the Algerian civil war of the 1990s led to huge loss of life and mass exile. The public sphere was rendered a dangerous place for over a decade. Yet in defiance of these conditions, civil society grew, with thousands of associations forming throughout the conflict. Associations were set up to protect human rights and vulnerable populations, commemorate those assassinated and promote Algerian heritage. There are now over 93,000 associations registered across the country. Although social, economic and political turbulence continues, new networks still emerge and, since the Arab revolts of 2011, organised demonstrations increasingly take place. Civil Society in Algeria examines these recent developments and scrutinizes the role associations play in promoting political reform and democratization in Algeria. Based on extensive fieldwork undertaken both before and after the Arab Spring, the book shows how associations challenge government policy in the public sphere. Algeria is playing an increasingly important role in the stability and future peaceful relations of the Middle East and North Africa. This book reveals the new forms of activism that are challenging the ever-powerful state. It is a valuable resource for Algeria specialists and for scholars researching political reform and democratization across the Middle East and North Africa."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

The aim of the article is to provide an overview of the social economy development over three decades in Slovakia (between the years 1989 - 2019) and to point out the natural environment of shaping this phenomenon as well as the current state and possibilities for further development. The essential features of the social economy development in Slovakia are: regional development in terms of reduction of unemployment and long-term unemployment, integration of disadvantaged groups of people into the labour market, new law on social economy and social enterprises, activities of self-governing bodies and implementation of common good activities that serve the community, the group of disadvantaged but also the region, while contributing to rural sustainability. As chosen methods, we especially used a theoretically-analytical approach appropriate to describe the present situation about unemployment and potential of social economy (using secondary data of official statistics). The paper aims at clearing the main problems of the social economy development in Slovakia, also reflecting the historical roots, and it points to the social economy potential future development.

"Notwithstanding its many successes since 1945, the project of European integration currently faces major difficulties, from financial crises and mass immigration to the impending departure of the UK from the European Union. At the same time, these challenges have spurred civil society organizations within and across Europe, revealing a shared public sphere in which citizens can mobilize around refugee rights, opposition to austerity policies, and other issues. Europeanization in Sweden assembles new empirical research on how these processes have played out in one of the continent's wealthiest nations, providing insights into whether, and how, the "Swedish model" can guide European integration"--
