Global citizenship as a national project: the evolution of segye shimin in South Korean public discourse

The idea of global citizenship in contemporary South Korean public discourse has revolved mainly around a national endeavor to boost the county's stature and competitiveness amid economic globalization. Based on a review of two decades of published media references to segye shimin (‘global citizen’ in the Korean language), this article shows that the specific usages of segye shimin – mainly by elites from government, academia, and journalism – underscore how the ‘developmental citizenship’ that marked South Korea's past authoritarian military regimes has carried on since the transition to civilian-led democracy. In contrast with the burgeoning academic discourse on cosmopolitanism that focuses heavily on moral responsibilities to humanity and the planet, South Korea's discourse of global citizenship has been closely aligned with neoliberalism and filled with exhortations to the domestic population to overcome numerous perceived liabilities seen as impeding the country's advancement. While global citizenship discourse in South Korea has emphasized top-down national strategic imperatives, a bottom-up approach to cosmopolitanism is also emerging as the country gains confidence and the notion of segye shimin gradually gains traction across the wider society.     

The Pleiades Join the Stars: Transatlanticism and Eastern Enlargement

EU enlargement and the inclusion of countries previously under communist domination led many West Europeans as well as Americans to think these countries would play the role of a ‘Trojan Horse’. These new EU members indeed have tended to approach the US with greater understanding, but these attitudes differ little from those of Western Europe after the end of World War II. East European pro-Americanism may turn out, however, to be short-lived. This paper argues that the real tension within Europe comes not from the East Europeans' attitudes toward transatlanticism or the Iraq War but rather from their dramatically different experiences under Soviet rule. Based on their empirical experience with Moscow and vital national interests in the democratisation of the EU's neighbourhood, the new members are unlikely to challenge old members over the US; when it comes to Russia, the prospects are quite different.     

Managerial incentives and access price regulation

Policy makers have identified the non-discrimination principle as a key instrument to regulate vertically integrated firms in control of upstream bottlenecks. It has been argued that the non-discrimination principle may create a level playing field, but at the expense of higher consumer prices. However, this rests on the assumption that the firms do not respond strategically to the regulation. We show that a non-discrimination requirement makes the vertically integrated firm behave more aggressively. Consequently, non-discrimination regulation rarely creates a level playing field. Neither does it necessarily increase end-user prices. Indeed, we show that end-user prices may fall.      

Vernachlässigte Potenziale? Zur Situation von Jugendlichen ohne Bildungs- und Ausbildungsabschluss

Ausgehend von vorliegenden Befunden zur Bildungsarmut in Deutschland werden zunächst einzelne Aspekte des ?deutschen Bildungsnotstands“ vertieft und aktualisiert. Dazu gehören die sich bereits jetzt abzeichnenden Entwicklungen im Bereich der Bildungsarmut in den kommenden Jahren, die Bildungschancen von Immigranten, die Chancen von Niedrigqualifizierten auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, die Zugangschancen zur Teilnahme an Maßnahmen und der Maßnahmenerfolg. In einem zweiten Teil stellen wir eine zusammenfassende Typologie vor, mit welcher das mismatch von Personen und Positionen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt übergreifend behandelt werden könnte. Der Beitrag schließt mit einem Ausblick, in dem dringliche Handlungsfelder thematisiert und diskutiert werden.

Die Zulässigkeit von Projekten nach FFH-Recht

Die Konturen der FFH-Vertr?glichkeitsprüfung sind insbesondere durch jüngere Entscheidungen des EuGH sehr viel deutlicher geworden. Ihnen wird im Folgenden nachgegangen. Des Weiteren geht es um die Voraussetzungen einer Ausnahme. Durchweg zeigt sich, dass zwischen der Systematik der FFH-Vertr?glichkeitsprüfung und der herk?mmlichen naturschutzrechtlichen Eingriffsregelung erhebliche Unterschiede bestehen.
