Introduction: Moving to Nowhere Land? : (Un)Certainties in transitions to work for the young generation
No full textWork has multiple important implications for individuals, social life and societies. „Work enables people to earn a livelihood and be economically secure. It is critical for equitable economic growth, poverty reduction and gender equality. It also allows people to fully participate in society while affording them a sense of dignity and worth.” (‘Human development report’, 2015, p. 1) This special issue takes as it starting point the observation that there is an increase in transitions not only between workplaces but also between the status of being employed and being unemployed. The contributions in this special issue deal empirically with the questions of how increased demands on the successful management of transitions into work are negotiated discursively, how social work organisations deal with these issues, how the demands are experienced from the point of view of young people, and what chances they entail

A Novel Housing Price Misalignment Indicator for Germany
No full textFrom 2014 until present, housing prices in Germany have been rising faster than consumer prices in all quarters except one, raising concerns about an excessive overheating of the housing market. To assess the vulnerability of the German housing market to a future realignment of prices or even a housing bust, this paper develops a housing price misalignment indicator that is composed of seven indicators, which are commonly associated with the fundamental value of residential property. An empirical application to the most recent data suggests that the German housing market exhibits an overvaluation of approximately 11%, where interest rate risk and a relatively advanced stage of the housing cycle are identified as the main factors fueling these imbalances, while a rather solid debt-servicing capacity mitigates these imbalances since end-2009
Eine Institution der Globalisierungskritik? Gegenentwürfe zur transnationalen Institutionalisierung von Normen und Werten am Beispiel des Weltsozialforums
No full textDas Weltsozialforum (WSF) ist das Gipfeltreffen globalisierungskritischer Bewegungen, die gegen die Auswirkungen des globalen Neoliberalismus und anderer Ausbeutungsverhältnisse protestieren. Dieser Artikel untersucht die Relationen des WSF zu (anderen) transnationalen Institutionen und fragt, ob das WSF selbst als eine transnationale Institution der Globalisierungskritik betrachtet werden kann. Basierend auf den empirischen Einsichten zweier abgeschlossener Dissertationen zum WSF, kommen wir zu dem Schluss, dass die seit Beginn andauernde Auseinandersetzung um die eigenen praktizierten Normen und Werte auf den Veranstaltungen als auch im Organisationsprozess selbst als eine Form institutionalisierten Lernprozesses verstanden werden kann, der das WSF als Institution der Globalisierungskritik charakterisiert
