Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Diskussion über Ganztagsbildung befasst sich dieser Beitrag zunächst kritisch mit drei Mustern der Rezeption ausländischer Erfahrungen in Deutschland: der These von der "Singularität" der deutschen Halbtagsschule im internationalen Vergleich, der dichotomen Gegenüberstellung von Halbtags- und Ganztagsbildung und der Herstellung eines Kausalzusammenhangs zwischen hohen Schulleistungen und Ganztagsbildung. Im Anschluss daran werden einige Herausforderungen für das international vergleichende Studium ganztägiger Schulsysteme benannt. Zu ihnen zählt die Notwendigkeit, sich klarer Begriffe und Kategorien zu bedienen und die jeweiligen soziokulturellen und pädagogischen Bedingungen, strukturellen Designs sowie die aktuellen Entwicklungen ganztägiger Bildung in anderen Ländern zur Kenntnis zu nehmen.

This paper starts with a critical discussion of three types of such perception: when the German half-day school is assumed as being a unique phenemenon in international comparison, when half-day and all-day schooling are put in contrast in a simplicistic and dichotomous way, and, lastly, when a causal link is made between the existence of an all-day school system and high average student performance. In addition, some challenges for the comparative study of all-day school systems are identified. Among them are the need to use clear terms and categories and to take into account the cultural and educational background, the structural design and the current development of all-day schooling in other countries.

During the last decade, the United Nations and other international organizations have been struggling with the issue of hazardous waste exportation to developing countries. At the same time, the United States has been grappling with environmental racism. However, critics of both hazardous waste exportation and environmental racism have overlooked their similarities, namely, that hazardous waste exportation and environmental racism place a disproportionate burden on the same classes of people, the poor and minorities. The exportation of hazardous waste to developing countries is essentially environmental racism on an international scale. This Note briefly explains the history and economic motivations behind hazardous waste exportation and environmental racism. Several key international agreements and current U.S. policy are analyzed to determine their effectiveness in reducing the export of hazardous waste to developing nations. In comparison, studies suggesting a link between race, income, and the location of hazardous waste facilities in the United States are outlined, along with current U.S. policy on environmental racism. The Note concludes that the similarities between the two problems should enable opponents of both to join forces to reduce hazardous waste generation and to advocate the equitable location of hazardous waste facilities.

Ubuntu generally means humanity. It is an African philosophy and a principle that is being promoted by the international bodies of social work. Like other Western knowledge, its capacity for indigenisation should be a shared interest nowadays. This article assesses the utilisation of Ubuntu for a rural development programme in China. It illustrates Ubuntu's unique perspectives about traditional values and human relationships for promoting a holistic understanding of professional practice. The implications encourage further discoveries of various potential uses of Ubuntu in respective localities for developing a polythetic community of international social work.

This article examines the developments and current trends in the practice of critical social work in Hungary and Switzerland based on the international literature on critical social work, as well as Hungarian and Swiss publications that are less known to the international scientific community. The study concludes that contemporary Swiss and Hungarian critical social work is in close relationship with civil society and is particularly effective in intervening where state-run social services are less efficient. This includes the areas of migration aid and homeless care in both countries, and the support of the Roma people in Hungary.

This article aims to identify the changes in institutions and discourses resulting from global/local interaction in social work in today's Russia. We consider the contribution of international co-operation to the development of local institutions and discourses, focusing on emerging discrepancies and contradictions between international and local actors. Based on a review of relevant literature and mass media, survey data and interviews with social workers and managers in an industrial region of Russia, we conclude that when global social work values are embedded in local traditions, it can support the development of social work in Russia.

Der Klimawandel ist eines der Themen, die die politischen und rechtlichen Diskussionen auf internationaler Ebene seit geraumer Zeit beherrschen. In dieser Arbeit werden seine Auswirkungen auf die wohl am stärksten Betroffenen untersucht. Einige kleine Inselstaaten haben nicht nur mit wirtschaftlichen, sondern insbesondere aufgrund des möglichen Verlusts des gesamten Staatsgebiets mit erheblichen nichtwirtschaftlichen Risiken zu kämpfen. Der Autor behandelt in einem ganzheitlichen Ansatz verschiedene rechtliche Fragen, die sich angesichts dieses beispiellosen Phänomens ergeben. Beleuchtet werden Implikationen des Flüchtlingsvölkerrechts, des Seerechts, Auswirkungen auf die Staatlichkeit, sowie die völkerrechtliche Verantwortlichkeit von Industriestaaten. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass alle adressierten Problemfelder miteinander in Verbindung stehen und sich gegenseitig beeinflussen und ihre konkrete politische und rechtliche Behandlung daher die Würdigung all dieser Aspekte erfordert."Sea Level Rise and Challenges for Small Island States under International Law": Climate change is one of the issues that has dominated political and legal discussions at the international level for some time. Coastal and island states are particularly at risk. For small island states, climate change poses a variety of challenges, not least because they could lose their national territory in the foreseeable future. This book takes a holistic approach to address various legal issues that arise for this group of states as well as their implications for each other
