Honour Consciousness, Religion and Gender
This book develops an understanding towards women's experiences of honour in the East and the West, examining comparatively Brazilian and Pakistani migrant women's lived experiences of honour consciousness, and how its gendered dimensions are manifested among these women in Australia.
Honour Consciousness, Religion and Gender
The book explains how honour consciousness shapes the lives of Brazilian and Pakistani women in their countries of origin, and the relationship between honour, religion and gender highlighting the question: is honour consciousness experienced differently by men and women? In this book, I explore how lived experiences of honour consciousness and religion in Brazil and Pakistan are hybridised and operate on a spectrum and are manifested through gender power relations and demonstrated through “moderate” and “extreme” notions of honour consciousness, and how these are transmitted to Australia. These concepts give a new epistemological perspective to the use of Hegel and Foucault within gender studies.

Tambores à Distância
Tambores à distância deve ser lido e relido se quisermos encarar – e derrotar – o fascismo. Se durante algum tempo pudemos acreditar que a via rumo ao progresso e à igualdade era de mão única, a última década provou estarmos muito enganados. A extrema direita está de volta, ameaçando direitos e liberdades que antes imaginávamos garantidos. Em 2020, quase 2 bilhões de pessoas estavam vivendo em países com governos com inclinações fascistas – entre eles Estados Unidos, Brasil e Índia, três dos cinco países mais populosos do mundo.

In Spite of You
In October 2018 Brazilians elected Jair Bolsonaro as their new president. A former army officer who served under the military dictatorship, Bolsonaro has spent his political career campaigning against democracy and human rights. His notoriety comes from his repeated racist, sexist and homophobic statements and his defense of torture, extra-judicial executions and impunity for Brazil´s security forces. Bolsonaro is sometimes described as a “Tropical Trump.” But this wording greatly underestimates the threat that he poses to Brazil´s still young and fragile democratic institutions. In Spite of You brings together voices of the new Brazilian resistance. It includes chapters by Dilma Rouss...
Rethinking Global Governance
The world currently faces a number of challenges that no single country can solve. Whether it is managing a crisis-prone global economy, maintaining peace and stability, or trying to do something about climate change, there are some problems that necessitate collective action on the part of states and other actors. Global governance would seem functionally necessary and normatively desirable, but it is proving increasingly difficult to provide. This accessible introduction to, and analysis of, contemporary global governance explains what it is and the obstacles to its realization. Paying particular attention to the possible decline of American influence and the rise of China and a number of other actors, Mark Beeson explains why cooperation is proving difficult, despite its obvious need and desirability. This is an essential text for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying global governance or international organizations, and is also important reading for those working on political economy, international development and globalization.
