This book covers the author's field experiences as an ethnographer in one country of Central America and an applied anthropologist in four US regions. A range of social fields are examined, which include: constructing a work experience table as a composite job resumé; correspondence with a maximum security prisoner for more than ten years; design features for multiple choice testing; farmworker sero-prevalence reports; health-seeking behavior among the Ngöbé (indigenous people in Central America); HIV/AIDS education in rural farm labor camps; Latinx naming practices for grocery stores and restaurants in agricultural areas; organizational capacity building assistance training; and teaching students in a community college and three secondary schools, among others. The book highlights the importance of incorporating ethnography in the completion of work tasks across a range of social fields, which represent diverse socio-cultural groups and immigrant populations.

Das Konzernsteuerrecht befindet sich im globalen Umbruch: Ausgangspunkt dafür war die Frage der Besteuerung der digitalen Wirtschaft, auf OECD-Ebene wurde die Diskussion aber möglichst breit angelegt und mit über 140 Staaten weltweit die Konzeption einer globalen Steuerreform erarbeitet. Im Jahr 2019 wurde sodann eine Zweisäulenstrategie , Pillar One & Pillar Two, präsentiert. Während sich Pillar One weiterhin an der digitalen Wirtschaft orientiert, sieht Pillar Two eine globale Mindestbesteuerung von 15% vor. Zur globalen Mindestbesteuerung wurde im Dezember 2022 schließlich eine EU-Richtlinie verabschiedet, die es bis Ende 2023 auch in Österreich umzusetzen gilt. Dieses Handbuch entstand aus einer Kooperation der Universität Wien mit der Wirtschaftskammer Österreich und beleuchtet die globale Steuerreform aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln. Beiträge von Expertinnen und Experten aus der Wissenschaft, der Wirtschaftskammer, der Finanzverwaltung und Beratungspraxis behandeln dabei umfassend: â Pillar One und die Zukunft der österreichischen Digitalsteuer; â Pillar Two in Konzeption, Fragestellungen und Umsetzungsüberlegungen; â Pillar Two im Lichte des Unionsrechts; â Aufkommenseffekte der globalen Steuerreform sowie die österreichische KöSt im internationalen Vergleich

Decolonizing Colonial Development Models in Africa: A New Postcolonial Critique confronts colonial development models to decolonize methodologies, epistemologies, and the history and practice of development in postcolonial African societies and advocates for Afrocentric alternatives. By taking a critical approach and drawing on postcolonial, postmodern, post-developmental, and post-structural theories, the contributors identify and analyze the effects of global inequality, racism, white supremacy, crisis, climate change, increasing environmental insecurity, underdevelopment, chronic diseases, and the vulnerability of the postcolonial societies of the global South. Together, the collection calls for and theorizes a new direction of development that incorporates indigenous-Afrocentric alternatives

The book discusses how division affect the fabric of cities, and people's sense of identity and agency, and are reflected in physical features, architecture, and urban planning. The question of divided cities represents a complex and multistranded urban Ecology-at once both social and spatial; it cannot be limited to a single science or discipline, such as social or spatial fields. This suggests integrated and cross- disciplinary understandings, as well as integrated or parallel approaches and solutions. Urban ecologies of division manifest in multiple forms. One of their most palpable expressions is conflict, with parallels around the world, and often with correlations in the spatial fabric. Violence in such contexts is often a surface expression of deeper socio-economic or ideological differences. Whether as a result of intervention by authority or by dissent between groups, a divided city inevitably becomes a place of conflict in various forms and intensity, eroding the joy of living and sense of collective belonging to the detriment of all. In effect, it erodes the collective advantage of being part of a more unified society. A city exists in collections of social structures which mutually form a society. A divided city implies divided social structures and, in consequence, a divided society. The papers compiled in this book present many case studies of divided cities, discussing the different causes of divisions and their effects on societies. Some of the causes can be linked to conflicts, wars, colonialism, or legislative political systems. In response to the serious challenges resulting from these divisions, the book aims to provide opportunities for new approaches and possibilities for new interventions and solutions, making it significant to urban planners, architects, and policymakers
