This book provides a detailed insight into the amalgamation of the healthcare and hospitality sector, which brought forward the concept of healthcare tourism or medical tourism. There have not been comprehensive resources in this particular area. The available quality resources focus on the Western world. Countries like India are an upcoming and one of the most favored destinations for medical tourism, and this trend is going to increase exponentially in the coming years. This book is developed in a very simple and lucid manner to enable even a layman to grasp the key components of the healthcare and hospitality sector at different levels and gradually link it to the present scenario where factors like accreditation, health insurance, corporatization, and public policy make an impact. Scholars in these sectors attempt to provide the recent trends and prospects supported with updated information. Therefore, it can solve the problem of a single source of detailed information relevant to different yet interconnected industries with a focus on developing countries

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.
