This book presents comparative analyses of different modes of the governance of religious diversity and state-religion connections and relations in twenty-three countries in five world regions: Western Europe, Southern and South-Eastern Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, the MENA region, and South and Southeast Asia. Debates and controversies around the governance of religious diversity have become important features of the social and political landscape in different regions and countries across the world. The historical influences and legacies, and the contemporary circumstances provoking these debates vary between contexts, and there have been a range of state and scholarly responses to how, and why, particular understandings and arrangements of state-religion relations should be preferred over others. The analyses of country cases and regions presented in this volume are based on extensive reviews of secondary literature, of legal and policy landscapes, and in some cases on interviews. This book will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students interested in in the sociology of religion, religious studies, politics and migration studies. The contributions in this volume arise out of the Horizon2020 funded GREASE project. It was originally published as a special issue of Religion, State and Society.

Im Jahr 2020 wurde der Deutsche Lokale Nachhaltigkeitspreis ZeitzeicheⓃ zum letzten Mal vergeben. Nach vierzehnjähriger Förderung und Unterstützung durch das Umweltbundesamt und Engagement Global mit ihrer Servicestelle Kommunen in der Einen Welt wurde im Rahmen dieses Vorhabens der Wettbewerb analysiert und evaluiert. Auf der Grundlage der Evaluierungsergebnisse wurde der Frage auf den Grund gegangen, mit welchen Formen der Anerkennung jenseits von Wettbewerben kommunale Initiativen motiviert und unterstützt werden können, um Transformation in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit voranzutreiben. Der Bericht setzt sich aus vier Teilen zusammen: 1. Identifizierung und Einordnung von Thementrends des Wettbewerbs, 2. Auswertung der Nachhaltigkeitswirkungen und des Transformationspotenzials der Bewerbungen, 3. Einordnung des ZeitzeicheⓃ-Wettbewerbs in Rahmenbedingungen sowie Nachhaltigkeitswettbewerbe und 4. Entwicklung eines alternativen Anerkennungsformats. In einem ersten Schritt wurde untersucht, wie sich die Themenschwerpunkte der Bewerbungen über die Jahre verändert haben, inwiefern die Themenschwerpunkte in gesellschaftliche und politische Entwicklungen kontextualisiert werden können und welche Themenschwerpunkte nominiert und ausgezeichnet wurden. Im zweiten Schritt wurde überprüft, welche Nachhaltigkeitswirkungen die nominierten und preisgekrönten Initiativen aufwiesen und inwiefern damit ein hohes, mittleres oder niedriges Transformationspotenzial verbunden war. Im dritten Schritt wurden Übereinstimmungen zwischen ausgewählten Nachhaltigkeitswettbewerben und dem ZeitzeicheⓃ-Wettbewerb im Hinblick auf ausgeschriebene und/oder prämierte Themenschwerpunkte sowie Nominierte und Preisträger*innen analysiert. Der vierte Schritt beinhaltete die Erarbeitung von Anforderungen an ein alternatives Anerkennungsformat, um Transformation in Richtung Nachhaltigkeit durch kommunale Initiativen zu fördern und, darauf aufbauend, die Entwicklung des Anerkennungsformats "Die SynergisteN". Dabei wurde auch untersucht, welche Formate es in Deutschland bereits gibt und inwiefern diese die Anforderungen erfüllen.

We investigate public preferences for equity-enhancing policies in access to early child care, using a survey experiment with a representative sample of the German population (n ≈ 4, 800). We observe strong misperceptions about migrant-native inequalities in early child care that vary by respondents' age and right-wing voting preferences. Randomly providing information about the actual extent of inequalities has a nuanced impact on the support for equity-enhancing policy reforms: it increases support for respondents who initially underestimated these inequalities, and tends to decrease support for those who initially overestimated them. This asymmetric effect leads to a more consensual policy view, substantially decreasing the polarization in policy support between under- and overestimators. Our results suggest that correcting misperceptions can align public policy preferences, potentially leading to less polarized debates about how to address inequalities and discrimination.

Viele Menschen sind hohen Geräuschbelastungen ausgesetzt, die ihre Gesundheit beeinträchtigen und die Lebensqualität mindert. Die vielfältigen Aktivitäten zur Erfassung, Bewertung und Minderung des Lärms verfolgen daher das Ziel, die Beeinträchtigungen durch Lärm wesentlich zu verringern. Aktuelle Empfehlungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation zeigen jedoch, dass zum Schutz der menschlichen Gesundheit die Geräuschbelastungen deutlich weiter reduziert werden müssen. Lärm ist somit auch 50 Jahre nach Gründung des ⁠UBA⁠ weiterhin ein ernstes Umwelt- und Gesundheitsproblem.

Digitalisation is profoundly changing our society and therefore also the way in which the environment is researched and governance is carried out. E-government is intended to make administration more efficient and bring it closer to citizens, while new ideas are constantly being implemented in environmental research, such as the ⁠CO2⁠ calculator, apps for sustainable consumption or big data-supported climate simulations. But are these measures already exploiting the full potential that digitalisation holds for the environment department and its environmental research and governance in the digital age? And how will the work of the environment department change when citizens, civil society, companies, science and politics, and therefore society as a whole, undergo major changes as a result of digitalisation?

"Various styles of leadership have the potential for positive and negative influence on employees and organization. The monograph offers a new approach and proposes the systematic analysis of negative leadership traits and behaviors through the broadening of existing approaches (based on employees' orientation and organizational orientation) by analyzing them together with a third dimension: leader's traits, which will allow us to analyze the intent of the leader. Based on this approach, the monograph introduces the term: fake leadership, characterized by an emphasis on individual goals of the leader (regardless of their importance for the organization) coupled with intentional anti-employees and anti-organizational behaviours. Such leaders operate with intent to engage in negative behaviors towards employees and organization, simultaneously aiming at hiding such intent. The monograph introduces and empirically verifies various models explaining the mechanisms, through which fake leadership negatively influences job performance of employees and organizational reliability based on intraorganizational trust and positive job-related attitudes (work motivation, job satisfaction, work engagement, organizational commitment), as well as negative job-related attitudes (work disengagement, job dissatisfaction, work demotivation), tend to hide errors, which is coupled with the number of management and employees' errors. These models reference the concept of authentic leadership, which is chosen as a positive alternative to the described fake leadership"--
