Austria, Germany, and Switzerland are increasingly relying on hybridization at the nexus of vocational training and higher education to increase permeability and reform their highly praised systems of collective skill formation. This historical and organizational institutionalist study compares these countries to trace the evolution of their skill regimes from the 1960s to today's era of Europeanization, focusing especially on the impact of the Bologna and Copenhagen processes. Die Dissertation behandelt die Herausforderungen, mit denen das deutsche, das österreichische und das schweizerische Bildungssystem konfrontiert sind, und beschreibt die Folgen für die institutionelle Durchlässigkeit zwischen beruflicher Bildung und Hochschulbildung. Beiträge zur Hochschulforschung 2/2014 Graf's contribution can be seen as a unique with its longitudinal analysis of system dynamics of those two sectors in the context of European integration processes. At a time where skills, qualifications and parity of esteem between HE and VET have become frequently stated in the policy agenda, improved understanding of the relationship between these two sectors is both timely and necessary.

Erstmals wird die Museumslandschaft aller postsozialistischen EU-Mitgliedsländer untersucht. Wie stellen Museen den Zweiten Weltkrieg, Holocaust und sowjetische Verbrechen dar? Im Zuge der EU-Beitrittsbemühungen betreiben einige eine 'Anrufung Europas' und wollen ihr Europäischsein beweisen, indem sie internationale Musealisierungstrends übernehmen. Andere verlangen von ,Europa', ihr Leiden unter den Sowjets als größeres Übel anzuerkennen. This volume is the first to examine the museum landscape of all post-socialist EU member states. How do museums present the Second World War, the Holocaust, and Soviet crimes? As part of their nations' attempts to join the EU, some "invoke" Europe, aiming to prove their Europeanness by adopting international museification trends. Others demand that "Europe" recognizes their suffering under Soviet rule as the greater evil.

How are prestige and power anchored in EU-Brussels? Which performances are valued and which are not? Pawel Lewicki's ethnographic analysis gives an insight into how different understandings of modernity and class structures reproduce national performances and stereotypes among EU civil servants. Divisions permeate both political and private life and are not only visible on the map of the city, but also in lifestyles of people living and working in EU-Brussels. In such a cultural setting the strategies applied by newcomers to the EU are shown by Pawel Lewicki in an impressive way. He shows how their presence reveals deeper postcolonial and (post-)imperial dynamics at the heart of the Union. »This book should be read by anyone - scholars, students, EU civil servants, and Europeans - who is keen to learn more about the EUs internal dynamics around power and prestige that permeate both the political and the personal life of persons working in the complex bureaucratic entity called the EU.« Linda M. Mülli, Anthropological Journal of European Cultures, 29/1 (2020) Besprochen in: Europäische Erziehung, 2 (2017)

"This book describes the importance of finance and real estate for the emergence of authoritarian regimes. Through an ethnographic study of the pseudo-oligarchs, failed European businessmen, frustrated managers, and unpaid workers that populate Macedonia's construction sector, Fabio Mattioli illustrates how financialization results in illiquidity, rather than cheap money. Mattioli's manuscript describes the political relations that emerge from restricting access to cash, a political-economic juncture that has received little attention in the literature on financialization, but that is increasingly recognized as a critical research agenda. Guiding readers through the genesis and contradictions of a landscape of political oppression and financial failure, the book details Macedonian workers' and managers' struggle to recover meaningful social lives as they become more deeply entangled in the web of illiberal politics"--

The years between the deaths of King Mael Coluim and Queen Margaret in 1093 and King Alexander III in 1286 witnessed the formation of a kingdom resembling the Scotland we know today, which was a full member of the European club of monarchies; the period is also marked by an explosion in the production of documents. This volume includes a range of new studies casting fresh light on the institutions and people of the Scottish kingdom, especially in the thirteenth century. New perspectives are offered on topics as diverse as the limited reach of Scottish royal administration and justice, the ties that bound the unfree to their lords, the extent of a political community in the time of King Alexander II, a view of Europeanization from the spread of a common material culture, the role of a major Cistercian monastery in the kingdom and the broader world, and the idea of the neighbourhood in Scots law. There are also chapters on the corpus of charters and names and the innovative technology behind the People of Medieval Scotland prosopographical database, which made use of over 6000 individual documents from the period. Matthew Hammond is a Research Associate at the University of Glasgow. Contributors: John Bradley, Stuart Campbell, David Carpenter, Matthew Hammond, Emilia Jamroziak, Cynthia Neville, Michele Pasin, Keith Stringer, Alice Taylor.
