“…18 As van Oorschot notes, deservingness judgements are essentially the flip side of feelings of solidarity: "In fact, one could argue that the difference between both concepts is more a matter of disciplinary origin and context, with `solidarity' having a tradition in sociology, and `deservingness' having its roots in social psychology" (2005: 10n3). 19 For renewed discussions of the general societal trend towards "individualization", and its impact on the prospects for solidarity, see Genov 2015, Edsall 2015 national boundaries. All of these trends and forces would be reshaping solidarity even if there were no change in the levels or composition of ethnic, racial and religious diversity in a society.…”

The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), created in 1992 and directed by Professor Brigid Laffan, aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research on the major issues facing the process of European integration, European societies and Europe's place in 21 st century global politics. The Centre is home to a large post-doctoral programme and hosts major research programmes, projects and data sets, in addition to a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration, the expanding membership of the European Union, developments in Europe's neighbourhood and the wider world.

“…So, we can argue that, on one hand, in the late/postmodern era, which is also the neoliberal era, individualization is boosted mainly by access to (high) educational and occupational opportunities that expose women and men to the ethos of individualism. On the other hand, we must also take into account the fact that the individualization process is fragmented and takes various forms (Brannen & Nielsen, 2005; De Beer, 2007; Duncan & Smith, 2006; Genov, 2013; Hill Collins, 2009; Jamieson, 2011; Meler, 2016; Rasborg, 2017; Smart & Shipman, 2004; Van Winkle, 2018).…”

“…Thus, it comes as no surprise that the emphasis on individualization is sometimes described as a “white gendered middle-class Eurocentric” approach, which neglects the importance of sociocultural, demographic, and economic contexts and does not provide a comprehensive discussion of several key dimensions on which families differ (Brannen & Nielsen, 2005; De Beer, 2007; Duncan & Smith, 2006; Genov, 2013; Hill Collins, 2009; Jamieson, 2011; Meler, 2016, 2017; Rasborg, 2017; Smart & Shipman, 2004; Van Winkle, 2018).…”

Does It All Stay in the (Normative) Family? Attitudes About Family Among Female Jewish and Muslim Health-Profession Students in Israel

Family individualization occurs, if at all, at a different pace and to a different extent in various societies and in various parts of society. Its impact has led to new scholarship in the social and caring professions, for which the concept of family is central in both professional education and practice. It is assumed that attitudes toward changing marital norms, family forms, and family relationships affect professionals' performance. This study, conducted in Israel in 2014 with 157 female health-profession students-102 (65%) Jews and 55 (35%) Muslim Arabs-focuses on attitudes about the family. Three patterns of attitudes emerged: individualized traditionalism-a mix of traditional and individualized attitudes, present among both the Jewish and the Muslim students; individualized autonomy, present mostly among the Jewish students; and classic traditionalism, present mostly among the Muslim students. Implications of these findings for the education and practice of health care professionals are also discussed.

“…It causes an increasing replacement of the collective patterns of decision-making by the autonomous orientation, decision and practical action of individuals. The rising educational level of individuals strengthens their capacities to competently take decisions and to act autonomously in cross-border migration (Genov, 2015). Given this context the theoretical model of the new economics of migration is less and less applicable in systematic descriptions and explanations of cross-border migration.…”

The cross-border migration has multiple causes, variety of manifestations and potentials for diverging effects. Paradoxically, the mainstream theories on the phenomenon are one-dimensional and deterministic. The effort to resolve the contradiction proceeds in four steps. First, mainstream theories of international migration are scrutinized for potential contributions to a synergetic and probabilistic conceptual framework. Second, the strategy for building the framework is outlined by elaborating on the components of the migration chain. Third, the components are integrated in a conceptual whole reflecting the multidimensionality and the variability of the migration's structures and processes. Fourth, the capacities of the integrated framework to guide synergetic and probabilistic descriptions, explanations and forecasting of cross-border migration are put under scrutiny. The conceptual developments are tested with a view to the needs for efficient management of the cross-border migration flows.
