Seit den jüngsten Verfolgungen der Jesiden im Irak ist die religiöse Minderheit fast täglich Thema von Nachrichten und Presse - aber grundlegende Informationen und Medien zu ihrer Kultur und Religion sind rar. Das vorliegende Buch, zweisprachig in Deutsch und Kurdisch erschienen, ist kein religionspädagogisches Buch, sondern ein Dialog und Wissensaustauch des Autors Jan Ilhan Kizilhan mit jesidischen Kindern und Jugendlichen. Da es an schriftlichen Quellen fehlt, sind in der Kultur der Jesiden vor allem mündliche Überlieferungen von Bedeutung. Um vor diesem Hintergrund zuverlässiges Wissen zu sichern und auch Menschen mit anderen Glaubens- und Denkhaltungen zugänglich zu machen, hat Jan Ilhan Kizilhan in Gesprächen mit jesidischen Kindern und Jugendlichen Antworten zu drängenden Fragen jesidischer Menschen gesucht. Neben Fragen zu Geschichte und Religion geht es dabei ebenso um Kriegs-, Trauma- und Migrationserfahrungen. Auch für Nicht-Jesiden ein einzigartiges Buch für das gegenseitige Verstehen und die Kenntnis zu tagespolitischen Ereignissen. Für ältere Kinder und Jugendliche verständlich, genauso jedoch für Erwachsene interessant ohne Vergleichstitel. Wichtig für alle Büchereien! (Susanne Brandt)

Δεν παρατίθεται περἰληψη στα ελληνικά. ; Lina Venturas – Dimitria Groutsis, The Cold War and international migration regulation: The establishment of the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration The immediate post WWII period saw the establishment of the Inter-governmental Committee for European Migration (ICEM) (now International Organisation for Migration, IOM), as a key organisation in the management of post WWII migration. This paper examines the debates and policies surrounding the creation of the ICEM as an agent responsible for the facilitation and administration of labour migration from parts of Europe to a variety of overseas countries. At the conclusion of the Second World War, the problems surrounding 'surplus population' and unemployment in Europe were discussed in many international forums. It was from these discussions that a consensus emerged which saw emigration as a viable solution. To this end, in 1951, the International Labour Organisation convened a Migration Conference in Naples, bringing together key stakeholders. The Naples Conference failed, an outcome driven mainly by the US. The US was particularly concerned with economic stagnation and mounting social unrest related to the 'surplus population' in European countries in this Cold War period. At the same time however, it strived at limiting international influence over migration and refugee policies and on receiving countries retaining their sovereign immigration policies. In spite of the disagreements and through a process of negotiation, the US subsequently led the creation of an intergovernmental body, which was established at a conference convened in Brussels in 1951. This newly formed organisation, initially named the Provisional Intergovernmental Committee for the Movement of Migrants from Europe (PICMME), was open only to states with a 'liberal' political regime and had specifically designed functions based on inter-governmental negotiations. The US ensured its predominance in the organization through budgetary control and other means. In 1953, the PICMME became a permanent 'fixture' of migration regulation and was renamed the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration (ICEM). Hereafter, ICEM offered operational and financial assistance for migrants' transportation, language training, reception facilities, settlement services and labour market placement.

The process of European integration is a topic of major importance thanks to multiple approaches from experts, politicians, civil society representatives, on the grounds that its implementation in practice has an impact on all spheres of society, from educational to social, economic and political, but and on all the actors directly involved in this process, such as the European Union. At the present stage, for the successful European accession and integration of the Republic of Moldova, it becomes essential to study this process in terms of the given dimensions, because the expected result depends on their effective implementation. It should be noted that the accession process has registered both successes and failures on the path of Europeanization of the Republic of Moldova, there are impediments at the institutional level, although in terms of legislative connection to European standards Moldova has only succes
