Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this work Laura Westra draws our attention to the failure of international law to promote and protect the rights of society in the face of the ravages of neoliberal agendas in an era of globalization. |

This book outlines how international law is perhaps a misnomer, and at its core there is a great distance between laws as they are written and laws as they are implemented. Each chapter in this volume peels back the illusions of laws as instruments designed to protect the public welfare, and shows how the intersection of globalization and neoliberal democracy has stripped people of their dignity, has violated human rights, has resulted in ecological disaster, all for the singular goal of profit and in the name of so-called economic rationality. Westra demonstrates how documents like national constitutions, with its eloquent language on the rights of its citizens, are cast aside when it comes to defending those rights. Calling international law a failed enterprise, the heart of this book explores how we may yet reconstruct a true system of international rights enforced by real international laws, and contemplates the limitations and possibilities of international organizations to effectively address truly international problems. Through the lens of what might be called a political ecology Westra offers us a call for action to protect our environments and indeed our selves. |

Long description: Ist der deutsche Sozialstaat in seiner aktuellen Verfassung (noch) gerecht? Und woher sollen die Kriterien zur Beurteilung seines gegenwärtigen Zustandes kommen? Die vor liegende Arbeit versucht, hierauf Antworten zu finden und durch den Rückgriff auf die Sozialphilosophie Friedrich von Hayeks, John Rawls’ und Martha Nussbaums einen Beitrag zur sozialpolitischen Positionierung der Sozialen Arbeit zu leisten. Vorab werden hierfür die Grundlagen des deutschen Wohlfahrtsstaates, die globalen und nationalen sozioökonomischen Veränderungen, die zur Transformation dieses Sozialstaates führen, die Reformdebatte der vergangenen Jahre entlang der Leitlinien von „Zivilgesellschaft“ und „aktivierendem Sozialstaat“ sowie die Auswirkungen dieses Wandels auf die Soziale Arbeit untersucht. |
