"Global migration is not at an all-time high." "Climate change will not lead to mass migration." "Immigration mainly benefits the wealthy, not workers." "Border restrictions have paradoxically produced more migration." - These statements might sound counter-intuitive or just outright wrong - but the facts behind the headlines reveal a completely different story to the ones we're told about migration. In this ground-breaking and revelatory book, based on more than three decades of research, leading expert Professor Hein de Haas explodes myths espoused by both left and right that politicians, interest groups and media regularly spread about migration.Comparing trends and perspectives from Western 'destination countries' (UK, US and Europe) as well as 'origin countries' in Asia, Africa and Latin America, de Haas equips readers with essential knowledge on migration based on the best evidence and data, showing migration not as a problem to be solved, nor as a solution to a problem, but as it really is.Above all, How Migration Really Works offers a new vision of migration based on facts rather than fears, and a paradigm-altering understanding of this perennially important subject.

Sport en beweging zijn niet meer weg te denken uit onze samenleving. Waar sport vroeger eerder een maatschappelijk randfenomeen was, vormen sport en beweging nu een manifest onderdeel van de sociale werkelijkheid. Dit impliceert dat ook vanuit beleidsperspectief sport en beweging steeds meer aandacht krijgen. De overheid voert een sportpromotiebeleid, ondersteunt sportverenigingen, versterkt subsidies voor de bouw van sportaccommodaties, financiert topsport, zorgt voor een wettelijk kader, enzovoort. Kortom, sport- en bewegingsbeleid vormen een centrale zorg van de overheid. Er staat dan ook heel wat op het spel. Sport en beweging worden als waardevolle vormen van vrijetijdsbesteding beschouwd en leiden tot maatschappelijke ontplooiing. Maar er is meer. Sport wordt ook veelvuldig ingezet om andere beleidsdoelstellingen te verwezenlijken, zoals het bevorderen van de volksgezondheid of het creëren van sociale samenhang. Sportbeleid wordt daarnaast ook onder meer als instrument voor politieke propaganda gebruikt, of als middel om internationaal prestige te verwerven. De overheid is onmisbaar voor het sport- en bewegingsveld, maar omgekeerd maakt de overheid ook zelf dankbaar gebruik van deze sector. Dit boek richt zich tot professionals die actief zijn in het werkveld van sport en fysieke activiteit, beleidsmakers en studenten, kortom al wie in contact komt met en/of interesse heeft voor aspecten van het publieke sport- en bewegingsbeleid. Doorheen dit boek wordt de rol van de overheid met betrekking tot sport en beweging geëxpliciteerd en verduidelijkt, en waar nodig en wenselijk ook in vraag gesteld. Hierbij wordt aandacht besteed aan hoe het beleid tot stand komt en over welke instrumenten de overheid beschikt om de vooropgestelde beleidsintenties te verwezenlijken. Zowel topsport, breedtesport als andere vormen van bewegingscutuur komen aan bod. Centraal staat het argument dat beleid maken, om het maken van keuzes gaat. Beweging in beleid/Beleid in beweging stelt de lezer in staat om met een kritische blik naar het publieke sport- en bewegingsbeleid te kijken en gaandeweg een eigen, onderbouwde visie hieromtrent te ontwikkelen.

Media Governance today is shifting media rules and regulations from national government policies to local, regional, national, multinational and international ones and away from exclusively governmental domains to others, such as market, professional and public interest/pressure groups. Many media-related civil society organisations are based in Brussels, operate at a European level and influence exactly the part of Media Governance that has escaped the national shackles of the member states. But which are those organizations and who do they represent? Which are the relevant EU regulations for the different media industries that they try to influence? How do they participate in the media related debates in the different EU institutions? What are their major position papers? What is the current state of affairs in the European Media Governance relevant to their industry and what are the future issues that they are trying to tackle early enough at a European level? Finally, how are their lobbying efforts coordinated with other political, professional and public interest groups? This book presents the work of 10 of these European organizations from a variety of media sectors, as well as the relevant work of the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Consumers Association.

The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system. Thomas Piketty's bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system. Our economy, Piketty observes, is not a natural fact. Markets, profits, and capital are all historical constructs that depend on choices. Piketty explores the material and ideological interactions of conflicting social groups that have given us slavery, serfdom, colonialism, communism, and hypercapitalism, shaping the lives of billions. He concludes that the great driver of human progress over the centuries has been the struggle for equality and education and not, as often argued, the assertion of property rights or the pursuit of stability. The new era of extreme inequality that has derailed that progress since the 1980s, he shows, is partly a reaction against communism, but it is also the fruit of ignorance, intellectual specialization, and our drift toward the dead-end politics of identity. Once we understand this, we can begin to envision a more balanced approach to economics and politics. Piketty argues for a new “participatory” socialism, a system founded on an ideology of equality, social property, education, and the sharing of knowledge and power. Capital and Ideology is destined to be one of the indispensable books of our time, a work that will not only help us understand the world, but that will change it.

What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award-winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers to the data taken from every action and expression.Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/atlas-of-ai-9780300264630

Het neoliberalisme is een vampierenideologie: de 1% heeft steeds meer bloed nodig en zuigt de levenskrachten van de 99% uit. De 1% zal ook de aarde vernietigen om excessief te kunnen blijven consumeren. Politiek kan deze ideologie uitsluitend leven door conflict en ongelijkheid voor te stellen als onvermijdelijk (TINA, There Is No Alternative), terwijl dat een leugen is. In Schoon protest roept Rik Pinxten op om macht terug te nemen. Dat kan door belangrijke sectoren aan de marktmechanismen te onttrekken: opvoeding, cultuur, gezondheidszorg en ouderenzorg, deels ook voedsel. Want als we de markt terugdringen, wordt gedeeld welzijn en (misschien ook) geluk mogelijk voor meer mensen. Een warm pleidooi voor verzet in de geest van zijn mentors wijlen Jaap Kruithof en Leo Apostel. Voor de noodzaak ethisch, esthetisch en politiek te denken en te kiezen. Voor het schone, het goede en het medemenselijke denken en doen. Of wil u straks wakker worden in een mieren- of een wolvenmaatschappij?
