Although European policy initiatives to advance the position of women in Academia (and especially in science) have proliferated, both at national and EU levels, serious inequities of many kinds remain. This situation is exposed and investigated in this outstanding book, which presents reports and discussions from a two-day conference held at the Law Faculty of Lund University in December 2004. The participants and law professors and social scientists and present detailed reports on domestic experiences and regulations in eight European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Among the many provocative issues raised and explore...
How globalization is undermining sustainable social environments for children This book uses the ecological model of child development together with ethnographic and comparative studies of two small villages, in Italy and the United States, as its framework for examining the well-being of children in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Global forces, far from being distant and abstract, are revealed as wreaking havoc in children’s environments even in economically advanced countries. Falling birth rates, deteriorating labor conditions, fraying safety nets, rising rates of child poverty, and a surge in racism and populism in Europe and the United States are explored in the petri dish of t...
."..Badgett offers a rare look at how gay marriage is actually working, by taking readers to a land where it has been legal for same-sex couples to marry since 2001: the Netherlands. Through interviews with married gay couples we learn about the often surprising changes to their relationships, and the reactions of their families and work colleagues. Moreover, Badgett shows how the institution itself has been altered, exploring how the concept of marriage itself has changed in the United States and the Netherlands." "The evidence from around the world shows both that marriage changes gay people more than gay people change marriage and that it is the most liberal countries and states making the first moves to recognize gay couples. In the end, Badgett demonstrates that allowing gay couples to marry does not destroy the institution of marriage and that many gay couples do benefit, in expected as well as surprising ways, from the legal, social, and political rights that the institution offers."--From publisher description.

2015년 6월 26일 미국 전주 동성 결혼 법제화! 결혼의 권리를 둘러싼 오랜 논쟁에 새 이정표를 제시할 실증 보고서 “성 소수자 문제를 어느 정도 안다고 자만하였으나, 내가 알던 지식은 여러 국면의 극히 일부에 불과하였음을 이 책을 통해 알았다. 리 배지트의 광범위한 분석은 인류의 결혼 제도와 젠더, 경제, 문화, 인문적 관점까지를 아우른다.”—전수안(전 대법관) “우리 사회에서 동성 커플의 결혼은 여전히 익숙지 않은 예외 사례다. 나에겐 선배들일 수 있는 다른 나라 사람들의 이야기를 통해 우리 부부는 구체적인 여행 계획을 짤 수 있게 되었다.”—김조광수(영화감독)
This book brings together the proceedings of the meeting held in Florence on 21 October 2010, during which a group of Italian and foreign scholars reflected on the decisions set forth in the EC Directive 2008/52 regarding various aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters, on the commitment that awaits the Member States called upon to implement it and on the contribution that its reception can offer to the renewal of civil justice in Europe. Even apropos the manner in which civil disputes are resolved, European integration is moving towards bringing the various national systems closer. It would, however, be mistaken to think that the differences which in the past so strongly marked the various legal systems are destined to disappear. Instead these divergences will live on in the different dimension of a shared European adventure.
A espécie humana reproduz-se desde que apareceu sobre a Terra. Ainda que rodeada de misteriosos segredos mágicos e religiosos, desde sempre a procriação foi considerada um fenómeno natural aos animais, incluindo o ser humano. Mas se a ancestralidade do fenómeno biológico é mais que milenar, já a sua análise crítica e a tentativa da sua superação se revelam um acontecimento recente, impulsionado pelos avanços da ciência em geral e da medicina em particular. Hoje questionamo-nos se aquilo que sempre se desenrolou de certa forma ? a reprodução ? deve manter-se nos mesmos moldes ou se, pelo contrário, não deverá aproveitar as inúmeras possibilidades que a ciência e a técni...

Estudio lingüístico y literario de las Cartas de Temístocles, una colección espuria de veintiuna cartas datada normalmente entre los siglos I y II. Se trata de un testimonio valioso para el conocimiento del desarrollo de la lengua griega durante la Época Imperial. Las Cartas de Temístocles reflejan la situación lingüística: por una parte, tenemos el griego común, la llamada koiné; por otra, un movimiento cultural que, desde el siglo I a. C., pretende imitar los temas y estilos de la dorada Época Clásica al principio (“Clasicismo”), y más tarde también las formas lingüísticas del ático clásico (“Aticismo”). Se estudia, asimismo, la influencia de la retórica (sus en...
