Dear list members,
Together with an institute from Vienna (Austria), we (Institut for
Social Research and Social Policy in Cologne, Germany) are planning a
cross-national comparative study in Austria, Germany, Denmark, Spain and
the Czech Republic on advocacies for frail and incompetent elderly in
Europe.
The main interest of the research project is to compare how different
European countries secure legal protection and participation of frail
and incompetent old people. This encompasses matters like proxy,
guardianship, solicitors, advocacy for patients, rights of people in
nursing homes, etc. The research, however, will go beyond mere legal
comparison and will focus on how the law is implemented and on the
questions whether and to what extent it fits the needs of an ageing
society. Legal systems, organisational performance, and reform concepts
in five countries will be revised in comparative analysis.
In the *Czech Republic*, we are looking for a *social research
institute*, which is able to analyse the performance/ reality of those
regulations and for a *law expert*, who is able to describe the legal
system.
If you ( and your institute) are interested in participating, we would
be glad to hear from you. If not, we would like to ask you to forward
this mail to another person/ institute who might be interested.
For more information please contact Regine Köller
