The article provides an overview of the categories of forced workers from the USSR in Luxembourg during the Second World War. In particular, in addition to specific figures, selected biographies of both Soviet prisoners of war and civilian "Eastern workers" are given. The article treats their transportation from the Nazi-occupied Soviet territories, the life in a Luxembourger camp, living conditions, supply of clothes and shoes, food, working conditions and punishments. It also provides examples of the Luxembourg population sheltering prisoners who escaped from the camp. The article ends with a statistical summary of the penalties for collaboration, which were subjected to forced workers who returned to their Soviet homeland. [less ▲]

If the cyborg remains a human - repaired, augmented or diminished -, the emergence of metaphorical or real figures such as the latter as well as hybrids, robots, drones and AIs, is perhaps the expression of an anthropological major shift. Indeed, beyond the question of the enhanced humanity, transhumanism and the possibility of posthumanism, it seems topical to ask whether it is not society itself that is in the process of becoming 'cyborgised' on a global scale. In such a case, rather than listing the anthropotechnical technologies (of human modification) that have appeared since the invention of computers, it seems appropriate to anticipate and attempt to understand the ethical, political, economic and social issues emblematic of these technologies. Hence the concept of the 'hive-society', used to describe this possible major break in history marked by the advent of an organisation that is above all administered by - and sometimes for - digital machines.

The pattern of a knowledge-based society relies to a large extent on digital technologies and intangible outputs and generate considerable transnational financial flows and gains. These technologies also play a key role in providing free access to data and information, encouraging citizen participation in public decision-making, fostering transparency and scrutiny of government action and mobilising new players capable of identifying alternative means of civic and political participation worldwide. At the same time, the increasingly impact of online platforms in manipulating transnational public debates, and the surge in extremist groups using the digital ecosystem to incite hatred, hostility and violence are a warning sign that these modes of communication may be having an adverse effect on democracy and that the boundary between fact and fiction is not as clear as we may like to think. The US presidential election campaign and the Brexit referendum (2016), the theories about COVID-19 (that have flooded the web since 2019), the terrorist attack against French teacher Samuel Paty (16 October 2020) all highlight these trends. When the majority of the world’s citizens are using online media as their main source of information, the proliferation of disinformation and the related threat of radicalism and extremism have led to a growing awareness of these issues at international- and European Union level. What can be done to tackle the situation? How should the democratic states with new forms of private power in the algorithmic society? Where should the line be drawn between freedom of expression and media pluralism on the one hand, and intrusion and censorship of dissenting opinions on the other? How should information be defended as a fundamental right? Is there a moral or ethical code when it comes to information? How can be created an environment that is conducive to inclusive, pluralistic public debate? How to equip citizens to develop a critical approach and to take informed decisions? How to balance innovation with the need to ensure transparency and fairness? Could we be witnessing a situation in which algorithms are “dissolving” democracy? Drawing on the archives of the international and European multilateral organisations (UN/UNESCO, Council of Europe, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Union) and several public and private stakeholders worldwide, this chapter proposes: a) to take stock of the issues and challenges raised by the proliferation of fake news, social media and algorithms, and their impact on freedom and democracy; b) to review the regulatory provisions implemented in this area at European and international level; and c) to identify future prospects.

Following the introduction of increasingly complex international tax rules through the OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Project, a stronger focus has recently been placed on mandatory binding dispute resolution mechanisms. Despite its great appeal from the perspectives of effectiveness and economy of procedure, mandatory tax arbitration faces a number of political, practical and also legal difficulties. This chapter, which is dedicated to H. David Rosenbloom, a long-standing champion of tax arbitration, considers those challenges. [less ▲]

First, this contribution discusses “thinking-as-usual” in connection with to- day’s migration dilemma in Europe as the manifestation of a crisis from the per- spective of “social drama.” Secondly, the present contribution seeks to question the discourse of “thinking-as-usual” and its performative character as observable units shaping perceptions and staging strategies in some contemporary theater and performance productions in Europe. Thirdly, it analyzes the response-ability and potentiality of some other theater and performance arts which productively address structures of belonging and exclusion stemming from “thinking-as-usual.” Finally, this analysis explores how de-essentializing epistemological approaches of European artistic habits can productively impact the negotiation of otherness and migration in the theater and performing arts.

Our paper paves the way for discussing the significance of European disintegration for the EU cohesion policy. It relies on an interdisciplinary literature review outlining how geography and political science grasp the concepts of EUropean integration and disintegration. This review is mobilised to operationalise a reflection framework in capacity to understanding key aspects entangling (dis)integration. The reintroduction of border controls between 2015 and 2019 is one of the most concrete facets of disintegration. The analytical framework explores on an exploratory level (dis)integration tendencies emerging from border controls. This paper argues that disintegration is not simply ‘integration reverse’ and suggests dimensions for investigating it. The paper concludes by outlining a series of fundamental questions for cohesion policy. [less ▲]

WICHTIGE ERGEBNISSE AUS KAPITEL 7 - Laut den YAC+-Befragungen aus dem Sommer 2020 findet die große Mehrheit der Jugendlichen die Maßnahmen der luxemburgischen Regierung gerechtfertigt und angemessen. Jugendliche akzeptieren die Maßnahmen, um andere, insbesondere Risikogruppen, zu schützen. - Jugendliche fühlen sich dennoch vor allem durch die soziale Distanzierung und die Kontaktbeschränkungen belastet und halten diese Maßnahmen weniger konsequent ein als andere Maßnahmen. - Jugendliche fühlen sich von der Nachrichten- und Informationsflut zu Covid-19 teilweise überfordert. Sie schränken ihren Nachrichtenkonsum gezielt ein, um sich selbst zu schützen. - Die Schulschließung und das damit verbundene Lernen auf Distanz ist für einige Jugendliche eine neue Erfahrung und durchaus bereichernd; für andere steigt dadurch der empfundene Schulstress und sie berichten von Lernschwierigkeiten. - Übergänge – insbesondere von der Schule ins Studium oder vom Studium in den Beruf – werden von den Jugendlichen pandemiebedingt als zunehmend belastend wahrgenommen und fördern Zukunftsängste. - Kurzarbeit, steigende (Jugend-)Arbeitslosigkeit und Einkommensverluste führen dazu, dass sich die Jugendlichen Sorgen um ihre Zukunft machen. - Die meisten Jugendlichen haben sich mit der Pandemie arrangiert und versuchen das Beste aus der Situation zu machen, indem sie Tätigkeiten nachgehen, für die sie sonst keine Zeit hatten. Zudem pflegen sie soziale Kontakte online und verbringen viel Zeit mit der Familie. [less ▲]

WICHTIGE ERGEBNISSE AUS KAPITEL 4 - Wohlbefinden wird von den Jugendlichen komplex definiert und umfasst neben der Gesundheit und einer inneren Zufriedenheit auch ein glückliches Leben mit sozialer Einbindung, artnerschaft und einem erfüllenden Beruf in einer insgesamt sicheren und zuverlässigen Gesellschaft. - Die meisten Jugendlichen verstehen Gesundheit als die Abwesenheit von Krankheit und sie sind insgesamt nur wenig durch Krankheiten betroffen. Mädchen und junge Frauen haben häufiger multiple psychosomatische Beschwerden, diagnostizierte psychische Krankheiten, Stress und moderate depressive Symptome im Vergleich zu Jungen bzw. jungen Männern. - Bei drei Viertel der luxemburgischen Jugendlichen sind das affektive Wohlbefinden und die Lebenszufriedenheit mittel bis hoch. Entsprechend gering ist der Anteil der Jugendlichen, die unzufrieden mit ihrer Lebenssituation sind. - Ein niedriger sozioökonomischer Status geht einher mit einer höheren Wahrscheinlichkeit für Übergewicht, multiple psychosomatische Beschwerden, psychische Erkrankungen, ein niedriges affektives Wohlbefinden sowie eine niedrige Lebenszufriedenheit. - Im Zuge der Covid-19-Pandemie machen Jugendliche sich mehr Gedanken über ihre mentale Gesundheit. Je nach verfügbaren Ressourcen nahm ihre Lebenszufriedenheit ab, nur bei einer Minderheit stieg sie trotz der Pandemie an. [less ▲]

German citizens usually leave their home country voluntarily and face fewer barriers, e.g. in terms of freedom of travel or labour market integration. However, when arriving in their host country, they are confronted with the need to adapt to life in a new society. Analysing data from the German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study, we found that half of the emigrants developed a sense of belonging to their new host society. Moreover, we set out to examine this development of host country attachment. Guided by findings from acculturation and expatriate attachment research, we identified factors potentially contributing to host country attachment and tested these in a series of regression models. Permanence of the intended stay is the strongest predictor, and social integration also plays an important role. Host country language competence is also important for the identification processes. Regarding cultural distance, our findings suggest an inverted U-shaped relationship with certain cultural novelty facilitating the development of host country belonging. Moreover, the data point to a complex relationship between cultural characteristics of the target country and factors related to an emotional settlement. [less ▲]

Most Regional Development Banks in the world have engaged in the increased promotion and use of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). To explain this rapid and ubiquitous spread of Public Private Partnership promotion and use, this chapter argues that Regional Development Banks can be seen to have acted as agents engaged in slippage. Most—if not all—of their shareholding national governments and loan recipient countries had limited or no prior experience with and knowledge of PPP financing. This activism on the part of Regional Development Banks can also be seen in both Multilateral Development Bank and National Development Bank promotion of PPPs and reinforces wider claims in the literature. More generally, Gavin and Rodrik (1995) argue that International Financial Institutions (IFIs) bolster their long-acquired skills in technical and information expertise in order to remain relevant—a claim that this chapter explores with regard to PPPs in particular. The promotion of PPPs should also be seen in terms of Regional Development Banks operating as agents to move beyond the correction of market failure towards the creation and/or shaping of markets through a particular financing mechanism and with specific market actors (Mazzucato and Penna 2016: 305).

There can be no doubt that “taxing income where value is created” has proved to be a powerful rallying cry to instigate a global tax reform effort. A deeper study of the alleged principle’s roots, meaning and compatibility with existing national and international tax rules shows, however, that a catchy slogan does not easily translate into concrete action. Instead, a lack of clarity on the intended meaning has opened a Pandora’s box full of half- baked ideas on how to “improve” on the international tax system. So far, despite many thousands of pages of new guidelines, tax policy proposals, discussion papers, academic analyses and a host of legislative amendments prepared in an uncoordinated fashion, the vision of a significantly “better” tax system cannot be said to be any closer to becoming a reality. This study analyses the theoretical foundations for an idea that almost certainly has not been conceived of in consequence of a deep reflection on such basis. It shows that the concept – despite being less than solidly grounded on a sound theoretical base – should not be dismissed as meaningless. The “true meaning” of value creation will itself be created in the process of its use, if it continues to be invoked by policymakers as real changes find their way into more and more national tax systems and international law norms. Rather than an exogenous transformative principle in its own right, it is an idea that itself is liable to being transformed; as its success as a tool for reaching consensus among more than 100 countries depends on it remaining persuasive, it cannot be shaped into just any form and survive.

This chapter presents an analysis of the public policies carried out in Europe to regulate the financial sector over the pas fifteen years, focusing notably on the role of financial sector and government actors, while considering the role of ideas and institutional frameworks. The concern for financial sector stabilization and reinforced supervision in the aftermath of the crisis has led to the adoption of various European-level and national regulations. Competitive pressures within a highly internationalized sector, as well as the many possibilities for regulatory arbitrage, have justified the use of international and, at least, EU-level financial sector control mechanisms. This chapter demonstrates that the crises from which the EU suffered from 2007 led to a rupture in policies and power relations between public and private actors. The strengthening of supervision and supranational supervision is the direct consequence, and resulted in the creation of the three European authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA), and above all the creation of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) and the transfer of supervisory powers over the euro zone's largest banks to the European Central Bank. The possibility of inadequate national supervision — a situation in which national public authorities ignore or accept the problems of national banks for various reasons — has thus been reduced. The effect of Basel III (international capital guidelines) is also felt on the activities and organization of large banks, encouraged to limit their high-risk activities. Most of the major European banks have reduced, or are in the process of reducing, their balance sheets. Yet to speak of a paradigm shift in the approach of the governments of major European countries, or even the European Commission, to financial regulation is premature. The constraints imposed on the financial sector, apart from the banks, have only partially increased. As a result of the Banking Union, the overall influence of banks has probably diminished at the national level, at least with regard to banking supervision. However, the ongoing weakness of bank regulation in many areas — for example, the weakness or absence of bank structural reform in all European countries with the exception of the United Kingdom — demonstrates ongoing bank influence. Moreover, other financial sector actors continue to be under-regulated and, arguably, insufficiently supervised. [less ▲]

As a first response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, Luxembourg, as many other countries, chose a strategy of minimized physical and social contacts. The educational system implemented these measures by introducing quick changes in their teaching modalities. At the onset of the lockdown in spring 2020, the University of Luxembourg, unlike other higher‐education institutions, has managed to rapidly transition to exclusive remote teaching for all offered study programs. There are good reasons to believe that the rapid change in teaching modalities in addition to the manifold challenges surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic have had an impact on the University students’ learning satisfaction, personal wellbeing, and mental health, and possibly even affected their educational outcomes. In this article, we present the results from a survey that we administered during the first weeks of the lockdown situation to assess the magnitude of COVID‐19’s impact on the academic domain. The central aim of the survey is to understand how students have been able to adapt to an abrupt change in teaching and learning modalities, and to which degree the exclusive e‐learning practice has affected their learning satisfaction and subsequent personal wellbeing. Besides investigating the impact of the student’s learning satisfaction on personal wellbeing and mental health, the present study explores the influence of pedagogical aspects, with a present focus on teaching creativity, on learning satisfaction within an e‐learning environment.
