The report covers eight villages in Sindh's Badin, Dadu, and Thatta districts. The selection of villages is strongly linked to the initiators and sponsors of this independent research project. The German Red Cross (GRC) and the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) suggested to the Centre for Development Studies at Freie Universität Berlin to cooperate again - after a successful joint evaluation of development packages in Kashmir in 2009 (see volume 36 of this series) - in an assessment in Sindh Province. This time, the terms for the assessment followed a different rationale in involving the independent academic supporters. With relief operations coming to an end in Sindh, a strategy and a vision needed to be designed for enhanced development cooperation. The dire needs of the flood affectees in the villages should be the guiding principle for the implementation of development packages. Their experiences and voices are the most important source of knowledge that has to be combined with feasible packages and practical moves. A major challenge is to define packages that are efficient in uplifting the living conditions, that reach the most vulnerable groups and that will have some lasting effects. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/46487 ARBEITER*INNEN ZWEITER KLASSE Wehrle, Paul Die vorliegende Untersuchung analysiert die Bedeutung von Rassismus in der Arbeitsmigrationspolitik des Deutschen Kaiserreichs in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten vor 1914. Der scheinbare Widerspruch zwischen der Idee eines ethnisch homogenen Nationalstaats und dem ökonomischen Bedarf an ausländischen Arbeitskräften wird mithilfe des Konzepts des Racial Capitalism aufgelöst. Die Studie zeigt auf Basis einer Analyse von Archivmaterialien der preußischen und Reichsregierung, wie die rassistische Hierarchisierung von Personen ein Migrationsregime formte, welches auf die Maximierung wirtschaftlicher Profite abzielte. Die Folge dieser restriktiven Maßnahmen war, dass migrantische Arbeitskräfte schlechtere Bedingungen erdulden mussten als einheimische. Gleichzeitig stabilisierte der so geschaffene Duale Arbeitsmarkt das politische System, indem er soziale Mobilität gezielt einschränkte und die Arbeiter*innenklasse spaltete, um Solidarität und kollektiven Widerstand möglichst zu verhindern. Die Relevanz dieser Analyse zeigt sich in der Fortwirkung solcher Strukturen in der aktuellen Migrations- und Arbeitsmarktpolitik Deutschlands und der Europäischen Union.; This study examines the significance of racism in the labor migration policies of the German Empire during the last two decades before 1914. The apparent contradiction between the notion of an ethnically homogeneous nation-state and the economic demand for foreign labor is addressed using the concept of Racial Capitalism. Based on an analysis of archival materials from the Prussian and imperial governments, the study reveals how racial hierarchies shaped a migration regime designed to maximize economic profits. These restrictive measures resulted in migrant workers enduring significantly worse conditions than native workers. At the same time, the Dual Labor Market stabilized the political system by deliberately restricting social mobility and dividing the working class to prevent solidarity and collective resistance. The relevance of this analysis lies in the enduring influence of such structures in contemporary migration and labor market policies in Germany and the European Union. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/18124 Carpenters of Chiniot, Pakistan Enzner, Martin 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/18224 Deconstructing Flood Risks Spies, Michael 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z
