The Burqa Affair Across Europe
In recent years, the wearing of the full-face veil or burqa/niqab has proved a controversial issue in many multi-cultural European societies. Focussing on the socio-legal and human rights angle, this volume provides a useful comparative perspective on how the issue has been dealt with across a range of European states as well as at European institutional level. In so doing, the work draws a theoretical framework for the place of religion between public and private space. With contributions from leading experts from law, sociology and politics, the book presents a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to one of the most contentious and symbolic issues of recent times.
Muslim Families, Politics and the Law
Contemporary European societies are multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, certainly in terms of the diversity which has stemmed from the immigration of workers and refugees and their settlement. Currently, however, there is widespread, often acrimonious, debate about ’other’ cultural and religious beliefs and practices and limits to their accommodation. This book focuses principally on Muslim families and on the way in which gender relations and associated questions of (women’s) agency, consent and autonomy, have become the focus of political and social commentary, with followers of the religion under constant public scrutiny and criticism. Practices concerning marriage and divorce are espe...
Legal Practice and Cultural Diversity
This collection considers how contemporary cultural and religious diversity challenges legal practice. Comparative in analysis, this study places particular cases in their widest context, taking into account international and transnational influences.
Family, Religion and Law
This collection discusses how official legal systems do and should respond to the reality of a plurality of family types and origins within their jurisdictions. It further examines the challenges that arise for practitioners, including lawyers and judges, when faced with such plurality. Focussing on empirical research, the volume presents legal and sociological data of unprecedented comparative depth. It also includes a discussion of how members of minority families respond to the need to organise their legal relationships, and to resolve their disputes in the shadow of official legal systems which differ from those of their familial and communal traditions. The work invites reflection, and demonstrates the urgency and complexity of the questions regarding the search for justice in the field of family life in Europe today.
An Innovative 3D-CFD-Approach towards Virtual Development of Internal Combustion Engines
In the engine development process, simulation and predictive programs have continuously gained in reliance. Due to the complexity of future internal combustion engines the application of simulation programs towards a reliable “virtual engine development” is a need that represents one of the greatest challenges. Marco Chiodi presents an innovative 3D-CFD-tool, exclusively dedicated and optimized for the simulation of internal combustion engines. Thanks to improved or newly developed 3D-CFD-models for the description of engine processes, this tool ensures an efficient and reliable calculation also by using coarse 3D-CFD-meshes. Based on this approach the CPU-time can be reduced up to a factor 100 in comparison to traditional 3D-CFD-simulations. In addition an integrated and automatic “evaluation tool” establishes a comprehensive analysis of the relevant engine parameters. Due to the capability of a reliable “virtual development” of full-engines, this fast response 3D-CFD-tool makes a major contribution to the engine development process. Südwestmetall-Förderpreis 2010
The U.S. Pandemic
The battle to defeat the pandemic was not just a medical issue. It was compounded by the biggest, nastiest and dangerous political divide in American history. The attempt by Donald Trump to deny democracy and award himself the election win was only symptomatic of an even broader division in America. Whilst humanity deals with the virus in a variety of ways, militias and civil rights groups disrupt all attempts to contain the pandemic. All spreading the new highly infectious strains. Families discussing this get fearful and irate. That is the environment in which the new president has to enforce lockdowns and social distancing to save the country. Militias sent two hundred thousand members to march, disobeying orders; at the same time, a new strain raced through the country, killing people within three days. Infections and deaths quadrupled. The hatred between opposing sides grows exponentially. Can Joe Biden defeat the protestors without resorting to Tiananmen Square methods? Will wives shoot returning husbands to keep their children alive? Who will look after the orphaned children looking for help? Will the president win this battle?
Pandemic
America is broken. Violence in the streets, thugs walking around with assault rifles. Trump election rallies spreading Covid-19 five-fold in the last 4 months of 2020. After claiming his election was stolen, he urges the January 6 uprising. The new president faces bigger problems. A new blue neck virus arrives, as deadly as the Spanish Flu, a hundred times worse than Covid-19. And yet they are trying to make the deadliest viruses possible in Biowarfare Security Lab right now. One mistake, end of Humanity. Lockdowns are ordered and the protest movement decides otherwise. Soon the daily death toll hits 80,000, twenty times the December 2020 count. Bodies are tossed into mass graves. But those were only facts. The story is about how people react to the disaster. When the Army was asked to take over all civil matters, protestors took on the Army and lost. And how did kids fare when parents came back with that new virus, dead 3 days later. This book is a love story. Love for kids.
Belief, Law and Politics
This edited collection gathers together the principal findings of the three-year RELIGARE project, which dealt with the question of religious and philosophical diversity in European law. Specifically, it covers four spheres of public policy and legislation where the pressure to accommodate religious diversity has been most strongly felt in Europe: employment, family life, use of public space and state support mechanisms. Embracing a forward-looking approach, the final RELIGARE report provides recommendations to governance units at the local, national and European levels regarding issues of religious pluralism and secularism. This volume adds context and critique to those recommendations and more generally opens an intellectual discussion on the topic of religion in the European Union. The book consists of two main parts: the first includes the principal findings of the RELIGARE research project, while the second is a compilation of 28 short contributions from influential scholars, legal practitioners, policy makers and activists who respond to the report and offer their views on the sensitive issue of religious diversity and the law in Europe.
The Challenges of Justice in Diverse Societies
In the urgency to respond to the challenges posed by diversity in contemporary societies, the discussion of normative foundations is often overlooked. This book takes that important first step, and offers new ways of thinking about diversity. Its contribution to an ongoing dialogue in this field lies in the construction of a normative framework which endeavours to better understand the challenges of justice in diverse societies. By applying this normative framework to specific and broader examples of injustices in the spheres of religion, culture, race, ethnicity, gender and nationality, the book demonstrates how constitutional pluralist discourses can contribute both to new and legal responses to diversity. The book will be of interest to legal professionals, policy makers, law students and scholars concerned with exploring diversity in the 21st century.
