Abstract

'Families in Converging Europe' examines common familial trends and differences between Northern and Southern and Eastern and Western Europe from 1960s to early 2000s and discusses the most common theoretical explanations for convergence and divergence. The interest lies in macro-level social changes and in the interrelationship between the family and other social institutions. In-depth comparison of Finnish and Spanish cases as representatives of North and South Europe provides an example of how macro-level changes affect both family ideology and practices.

Abstract

Eastern Europe has been recognized as a region that has experienced major socio-political and economic changes in the last decades. The impact of these transitions on families and their functioning has also been significant. Although understanding of families in different cultures in the last years has been considerably increased, little has been written on Eastern European families. This book fills the void in literature and provides a timely and comprehensive analysis of family issues in Eastern Europe. It brings together scholars from fourteen Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, former East Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine. The authors explain family processes in that particular country focusing on the historic, social and economic contexts and the impact they have on families. The authors also provide demographic information about families and discuss cultural traditions, marital and gender roles, parenting processes, family policy and programs within the society, and the state of research on family issues. As the society is trying to adopt a global perspective of the family, there is a need for people to gain an in-depth understanding of the world from a historical, socio-economic, political and cultural framework. This volume is an important reference work to be used by scholars and undergraduate and graduate students. It is a reader appropriate for use in courses and seminars on families and cultural diversity. The book also constitutes an excellent source of information for policy makers, foundations, governments and leaders of international family and/or youth organizations. Finally, the volume could be used by general readers interested in the dynamics of families in Eastern Europe. The book develops new insights and understandings on family issues.

Abstract

In de Nederlandse wetenschappelijke wereld onderzoekt men al geruime tijd de keuzeprocessen van de huwelijkspartner. Centrale vraagstelling is of het correct is te stellen dat vroeger huwelijken gearrangeerd werden en sinds de 19e eeuw de romantische idee primeert. Zowel historici als sociale wetenschappers (sociaal-geografen, sociologen, demografen), Nederlanders en Vlamingen, sloegen de handen in elkaar tijdens een workshop in 2002, waaruit het voorliggende boek, een reader, gegroeid is. Daarbij gaat het niet enkel om de factoren en processen die de partnerkeuze beïnvloeden, maar ook om de vraag in hoeverre huwelijkspatronen endogaam zijn (qua geografische herkomst, leeftijd, sociale klasse) en daarmee al of niet de sociale groepsvorming versterken of verzwakken. De gekozen periode is de 'lange' 19e eeuw, dwz vanaf eind 18e tot de eerste helft van de 20e eeuw, al naar gelang het gekozen onderzoeksonderwerp en de beschikbare bronnen. Deze bronnen zijn archieven van huwelijks- en notariele aktes, de historische steekproef van de Nederlandse bevolking, bevolkingsregisters, maar ook interviews, dagboeken, adviesboeken, brieven en huwelijksadvertenties. De onderzoeksmethode die gevolgd werd varieert, maar bestaat hoofdzakelijk uit statistische analyses. Onvermijdelijk wanneer men zeer grote steekproeven maakt en duizende huwelijksaktes analyseert.

Abstract

The authors focus on families who organize their lives in transnational social spaces within and at the outer borders of Europe, to offer a new perspective on transnational family life and to advance the knowledge on borders drawn by social inequality, discrimination and political exclusion. They also discuss social mobility as inheriting different life worlds, while crossing borders. The research on the socialization of children, raised in different societies provides a better understanding of the new generations in Europe from the beginning of the XXI c. The variety of methods presented in this book is also a contribution to link Western and Eastern European perspectives as well as sociology and anthropology in order to capture a wider spectrum of social reality. Contents • Transnational Family Life • Urban Sociology • European Sociology Target Groups • Researchers and students in the social sciences, migration research, social work, anthropology and sociology • Practitioners in the field of migration, family, community and social work The Editors Dr. Banu Çıtlak, Assoc.
