Sommario/riassunto

From anxiety about Muslim immigrants in Western Europe to concerns about undocumented workers and cross-border security threats in the United States, disputes over immigration have proliferated and intensified in recent years. These debates are among the most contentious facing constitutional democracies, and they show little sign of fading away.Edited and with an introduction by political scientist Rogers M. Smith, Citizenship, Borders, and Human Needs brings together essays by leading international scholars from a wide range of disciplines to explore the economic, cultural, political, and normative aspects of comparative immigration policies. In the first section, contributors go beyond familiar explanations of immigration's economic effects to explore whose needs are truly helped and harmed by current migration patterns. The concerns of receiving countries include but are not limited to their economic interests, and several essays weigh different models of managing cultural identity and conflict in democracies with large immigrant populations.Other essays consider the implications of immigration for politics and citizenship. In many nations, large-scale immigration challenges existing political institutions, which must struggle to foster political inclusion and accommodate changing ways of belonging to the polity. The volume concludes with contrasting reflections on the normative standards that should guide immigration policies in modern constitutional democracies.Citizenship, Borders, and Human Needs develops connections between thoughtful scholarship and public policy, thereby advancing public debate on these complex and divisive issues. Though most attention in the collection is devoted to the dilemmas facing immigrant-receiving countries in the West, the volume also explores policies and outcomes in immigrant-sending countries, as well as the situation of developing nations-such as India-that are net receivers of migrants.

Sommario/riassunto

Bildung und Qualifizierung findet in Räumen statt. Ob virtuell, hybrid, physisch, ob in Schule und Hochschule, zu Hause oder in Unternehmen, ob in Städten oder ländlichen Regionen. Die Einbettung von Bildung in Unterschiedlichkeiten des Raums beeinflusst und limitiert - ähnlich der Einbettung von Bildung in die Bedingungen der Zeit - seit jeher das Lehren und Lernen von Menschen. Heute und künftig tragen digitale Innovationen in der Bildung jedoch dazu bei, diese traditionellen Grenzen zu verändern, mitunter aufzulösen und neue Möglichkeiten des Lernens mit Technologien, digitalen Medien und dem Internet zu



eröffnen.  Die vorliegenden Proceedings der GMW-Jahrestagung 2017 fokussieren mit dem Titel "Bildungsräume" die Potenziale, Grenzen und Möglichkeiten von Bildungstechnologien und E-Learning in formalen, informellen und non-formalen Bildungsprozessen in ihrer bestehenden und zukünftigen Vielfalt. In Beiträgen aus Forschung, Entwicklung und Innovation sowie mit Fokus auf die Praxis von Bildung und Qualifizierung werden aktuelle Themen zur digitalen Transformation von Studium und Lehre, Forschung und Entwicklung, Management und Services sowie Wissens- und Technologietransfer dargestellt.
