The Foundation System at the Palace of Ayios Vasileios, Xirokambi, Lakonia. Veröffentlichung der Mykenischen Kommission|(Social) Place and Space in Early Mycenaean Greece Mykenische Studien 35|
No full textThe recently discovered Mycenaean palace at Ayios Vasileios offers valuable new information about the originsof early Mycenaean palatial architecture. One of the most significant finds of the past years is a large court that wassurrounded by unusually wide porticos. The structures at Ayios Vasileios belong to the earliest buildings of that scaleon the Greek mainland and mark the beginning of a new social environment in Lakonia with the establishment of anadministrative centre. For the construction of the court and the surrounding buildings, not only substantial manpowerbut also specialised knowledge was necessary. In this paper, we discuss the foundation techniques of the palace as apossible source of information for the building traditions of the engineers engaged with its construction. The designersof the palace were probably familiar not only with Cretan architecture but also with Cretan building methods andconstruction techniques and it is even possible that the large court was centrally located following the fashion of theMinoan palaces
Academic track mismatch and the temporal development of well-being and competences in German secondary education. Vienna Yearbook of Population Research|Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2021|
No full textFormal education is one of the most influential predictors of professional success.As parents in Germany are aware of the importance of education, they often try toenable their children to enrol in the prestigious academic schooling track (Gymnasium).This explains why the transition recommendation made by the teacher afterthe fourth grade is sometimes ignored if the desired track was not recommended fora particular student. How the mismatch between the teacher’s recommendation andthe parents’ choice of schooling for their child affects the child’s development is not sufficiently known. It is very likely that such a mismatch can have consequences forthe child’s well-being, competences and overall academic success. Based on fiveconsecutive panel waves of German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) data(waves 1 to 5, collected between 2010 and 2016) (n = 2;790 in wave 1), our analysesdemonstrate that social background and the probability of ignoring a teacher’srecommendation are associated, and that highly educated parents are more likelyto overrule the teacher’s recommendation. Panel regression models show that pupilswho pursued the academic track (Gymnasium) despite the absence of a teacher’srecommendation were more likely to drop out of the academic schooling track,and were not able to catch up with their peers with respect to both objective andsubjective academic competences over the entire observation window. However, themodels also show that academic track mismatch did not seem to negatively influencethe health and well-being of these pupils

No full textThe Danish Turn Towards Dual Citizenship. Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textThis chapter gives an account of the Danish turn towards dual citizenship, which began after the start of the new millennium and ended in December 2014 with the adoption of an act on dual-citizenship acceptance that entered into force on 01 September 2015. The chapter examines the Danish path towards dual citizenship from a legal and political perspective and argues that the idea of dual-citizenship acceptance matured gradually in the context of international and Nordic interdependence. Thus, the Danish approach resembles that of most other countries. I argue that the Danish slowness in terms of dual-citizenship acceptance is not a reflection of a Danish particularity but, rather, reflects an extraordinary political constellation in the Danish parliament during the first decade of the new millennium. Hereby, I dissociate myself from claims in the comparative literature that the opportunity to strip Danish dual citizens of their Danish citizenship was a key argument for Denmark’s turn towards dual citizenship
(Dual) Citizenship and National Identity in a Globalised World: Sociological Perspectives. Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textThis paper starts from the concept of identity to develop some hypotheses about the attitudes of people toward national identity and citizenship. It is proposed that there are two factors which determine these attitudes: an evaluative-normative component related to the symbolic value of citizenship and a strategic orientation which considers the advantages connected with a particular passport. Empirical findings from the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) on National Identity and Citizenship are presented. It is shown that citizenship is a very important component of national identity in the eyes of the public and migrants usually exhibit a dual identity toward their countries of origin and destination. The surprisingly low naturalisation rates among immigrants in Western societies are also explained by two general factors: people do not want to lose their original national attachments; however, they also consider the instrumental advantages from acquiring the citizenship of the new country. Two further issues are discussed: the need for well-functioning democracies to have active citizens and the obligations connected with citizenship – of which these three are the most relevant: taking part in voting, paying taxes and, for men, performing military service. In the concluding section, the chapter points to the need to facilitate naturalisation, extend options of dual citizenship and improve the situation of denizens. Citizenship is a topic investigated mainly by scholars of public law and political scientists (Bauböck 1994; Hammar 1990; Spiro 2016). A number of sociologists have also contributed to this discussion (Brubaker 1992, 2010; Joppke 2010; Soysal 1994). In fact, sociology can contribute not only to the social aspects of citizenship but also to the discussion of the emergence and social impact of legal principles. At least since the writings of the Austrian legal scholar Eugen Ehrlich (1862–1922), we know that the legal reality of a community cannot be captured by looking only at formal written law because it also includes local and regional norms and customs and has a cultural and political character (Cotterell 1992; Ehrlich 1989 [1913]; Rehbinder 2014). In this chapter, I discuss three issues: first, the relevance of citizenship for personal, social and political identity in the modern world; second, some empirical data on the relevance and meaning of citizenship, as people in about 40 countries from all continents see it; and, third, three additional aspects of citizenship relevant from a sociological perspective. In the conclusions, the findings are summarised and some normative conclusions drawn concerning the policies of naturalisation and the issue of dual citizenship
