The shortage of skilled nursing staff is glaring. Staffing needs will increase strongly due to retirements over the next ten years. To improve the situation, professional associations are calling for better working and general conditions, adequate staffing and remuneration, greater investment in training and professional development, and more decision-making powers for nursing professionals in the healthcare system. Recruiting and integrating foreign nursing professionals is an important element in reducing the shortage of skilled workers.
In diesem Band – einer Fortführung der unter dem Titel »Recht – Moral – Ideologie« (stw 344) erschienenen Studien – liefert Ralf Dreier weitere Bausteine zu einer integrativen Theorie des Rechts und der Rechtswissenschaft. Seine Arbeit gehört zu den Versuchen, mit einem wissenschafts-theoretische und ideologiekritisch geschärften Bewußtsein die moralischen Grundlagen und Wurzeln der modernen Industriegesellschaft und des demokratischen Verfassungsstaates freizulegen und dadurch eine für ein breites Spektrum politischer Auffassungen tragfähige Verständigungsbasis zu gewinnen, die es erlaubt, sowohl irrationalistisch-totalitaristische Verblendungen als auch technokratisch-positivistische Verengungen des rechtlich-politischen Denkens und Handelns abzuwehren.
This book argues that the welfare state cannot be understood purely as a set of social policy arrangements, but must be seen as a political institution, intended to achieve certain political objectives. The political dimension of the welfare state is essential for understanding its initial emergence as well as assessing its ability to deal with contemporary challenges. Governments use welfare transfers to decrease the risk of political instability that may be politically disruptive and threaten to undermine social cohesion. The success of welfare institutions stems from their ability to foster a redistribution of resources and political consensus that has enabled long-term political stability and economic development. The book develops a general model that looks at the interactive effects between welfare transfers, political instability and state capacity. It provides a unique theoretical contribution to the study of welfare spending in the context of globalisation and integration, analyses the key politial rationale for welfare programmes, namely their role in preserving social cohesion and governance and demonstrates clearly that welfare policies can be successfully adopted to meet new challenges and that retrenchment of the welfare state is not inevitable, using Scandinavia as a leading example of modern thinking policies. ;
