Research, Ethics and Risk in the Authoritarian Field

Research, Ethics and Risk in the Authoritarian Field

Marlies Glasius; Meta de Lange; Jos Bartman; Emanuela Dalmasso; Adele Del Sordi; Aofei Lv; Marcus Michaelsen; Kris Ruijgrok

Springer International Publishing AG
2017
sidottu
This open access book offers a synthetic reflection on the authors’ fieldwork experiences in seven countries within the framework of ‘Authoritarianism in a Global Age’, a major comparative research project. It responds to the demand for increased attention to methodological rigor and transparency in qualitative research, and seeks to advance and practically support field research in authoritarian contexts. Without reducing the conundrums of authoritarian field research to a simple how-to guide, the book systematically reflects and reports on the authors’ combined experiences in (i) getting access to the field, (ii) assessing risk, (iii) navigating ‘red lines’, (iv) building relations with local collaborators and respondents, (v) handling the psychological pressures on field researchers, and (vi) balancing transparency and prudence in publishing research. It offers unique insights into this particularly challenging area of field research, makes explicit how the authors handled methodological challenges and ethical dilemmas, and offers recommendations where appropriate.

Achieving Democracy Through Interest Representation

Achieving Democracy Through Interest Representation

Patrycja Rozbicka; Pawel Kaminski; Meta Novak; Vaida Jankauskaite

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2020
sidottu
This book assesses the quality of democracy through the study of organized interests in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) since the collapse of communism in 1989 up to 2017. It offers a much-needed comprehensive look into formal interest representation in CEE countries and compares this with the model in Western democracies. Drawing on democratic theory and comparative analysis, the authors explore the effects of a legal framework, political as well as social contexts. The volume contributes to debates on the performance of young democracies in CEE, where scholars argue that there is a ‘democratic crisis’ and democratic fatigue while the interest group system is often labelled as weak and, in some cases, underdeveloped. Although great efforts have been made to deepen our understanding of interest organization and lobbying tools, the current literature fails to provide a comprehensive answer on the influence of unsupportive environments on population ecology. The case of CEE countries shows significant effects of political and social contexts on interest representation, stimulating a debate about the quality of democratic institutions following the collapse of communism.

Welche Positionierungsräume öffnet und schließt das Genderregime Schule und wie gehen SchülerInnen damit um? Diesen Fragen gehen Monika Jäckle, Sandra Eck, Meta Schnell und Kyra Schneider nach und zeigen, wie Judith Butlers theoretische Ausarbeitungen zu Subjektivation und Anerkennung in konkrete qualitative Forschungspraktiken übertragbar sind. Die Forschungsergebnisse beleuchten, welche Geschlechterfiguren für die SchülerInnen vorstellbar sind und wie diese prozessiert werden, welche Positionierung die Befragten bezüglich dieser Geschlechterfiguren einnehmen und welche subjektiven Bedeutsamkeiten die Schule dabei für Mädchen und Jungen annimmt.

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and wondering whether where you were in San Francisco or San Diego, New Delhi or Nashville, Amman or Emeryville? And why you were where you were?This is the story of a modern Nomad, a Hi-tech immigrant who becomes a refugee in Nashville during the meltdown of technology industry in Silicon Valley. In the last chapter, the author moves again to yet another interesting place.The author captures the contrast and similarities between the places beautifully, using both colorful words and colorful photographs, combining stunning imagery with his equally stunning imagination to convey thoughtful messages to us "the snowflakes descend slowly, floating in the air, allowing the air current to carry them with it, letting it change their paths. They have chosen not to confront their destiny, choosing instead to enjoy every second of their short lives, their journey to the ground." A funny and yet very poignant story

Never Met a Stranger

English professor Gavin Dozier hasn't had much luck when it comes to love. When his last boyfriend cheated on him, he was driven to experiment with women. Sex with Marian, though, had its own dangers, and before he knew it, he was a father. Now estranged, the only thing Gavin and Marian have in common is their daughter Evie, a precocious seven-year-old who stays with Gavin every other weekend. While out with her daddy, Evie meets the heavily-tattooed Brody Phelps, a sketch artist with serious talent who still dresses like a brooding punk rocker, even though he's in his thirties. Brody is instantly attracted to the sexy college professor, but knows Gavin is out of his league -- the man has a kid, which probably means he isn't gay, and besides, Brody never even graduated from high school. Guys like Gavin don't go for guys like him. But when Evie leaves Gavin's cell phone behind, Brody has the perfect excuse to meet up with them again. To his surprise they hit it off, and when he asks Gavin out, the professor accepts. Even though Evie brought them together, will her demanding personality pull them apart? Is Gavin ready to trust his heart to someone else again? Can Brody overcome his own fears of inadequacy and let Gavin in? And what will Marian have to say when the father of her child starts dating again?

Set out as an 8-week course, each chapter ends with a concise summary of key points and recommended exercises to help put the suggestions into practice.Part autobiography, part self-help book, I Met a Monk forms a series of workshops, structured into eight chapters that cover the weekly discussions held between a Buddhist monk, Rose, and a group of men and women, including a student, a hairdresser, a doctor and a grandmother, where they talk about the Buddhist way to finding happiness, freedom and peace 'I hope that as you read this book you too may feel you are taking part, and that it may be as life-changing for you as it was for me.
