This book discusses prominent and controversial gender-related issues across the fields of family law, tort law, labour law, civil procedure law, ADR and private international law. An important critical assumption made by the authors is that the gender equality perspective has been largely neglected in several branches of private law, since scholars researching the intersection between gender and legal studies are mostly focused on public law and human rights law. In light of that, the book contributes not only to the deconstruction of gender-blind private law, but also to the development of a gender-competent analysis of the key branches of private law, starting with private international l...
This insightful Research Handbook provides a global perspective on key legal debates surrounding marriage and cohabitation. Bringing together an impressive array of established and emerging scholars, it adopts a comparative approach to analyse cross-jurisdictional trends and divergences in relationship recognition and family formation.
Male-dominated law and legal knowledge essentially characterized the whole of pre-modern history in that the patriarchy represented the axis of social relations in both the private and public spheres. Indeed, modern and even contemporary law still have embedded elements of patriarchal heritage, even in the secular modern legal systems of Western developed countries, either within the content of legislation or in terms of its implementation and interpretation. This is true to a greater or lesser extent across legal systems, although the secular modern legal systems of the Western developed countries have made great advances in terms of gender equality. The traditional understanding of law has...
This textbook explores the use of simulation within the context of education and internationalization. Simulation is broken down into its phases and these elements are discussed by experts, most of whom have long tradition in the application of simulation. Simulation is treated with references to the specific needs of practitioners, educators and researchers in initiating and developing simulation in different fields of study, with specific reference to teacher education. This volume focuses on presenting simulation as a means to facilitating students’ openness to complexity and development of intercultural skills through virtual exchange. Thus, it provides educators and researchers with a conceptual and practical resource that tackles the critical role of cognitive and metacognitive complexity in the education of future global professionals through intercultural pedagogy. By tracing the roots of simulation and outlining a framework to support professional learning through experiential-based research, this textbook will prove invaluable for teacher trainers, practitioners and researchers interested in simulation.

L’opera dedicata al Best interest of the child, nasce dal desiderio di indagare il contenuto di una formula che, benché universalmente declamata e conosciuta nel moderno diritto minorile, sia a livello dell’ordinamento interno che dell’ordinamento europeo ed internazionale, si rivela suggestiva proprio perchè caratterizzata da un’ontologica vaghezza. L’incertezza in ordine al contenuto e alle applicazioni concrete di questa formula, insieme alla consapevolezza della sua incontestabile utilità, hanno sollecitato l’interesse per quella che si è rivelata una vera e propria sfida. Si è reso così necessario un confronto corale tra tutte le discipline e tra numerosi operatori pro...
Opera in due tomi dedicata alla memoria del prof. Sacco, una raccolta in cui ogni Autore, con il proprio contributo, ha tessuto una parte dell’ampio mosaico che rappresenta la vita e l’eredità di Rodolfo Sacco, unendo sotto lo stesso cielo persone di diverse inclinazioni, interessi scientifici, vite ed esperienze. Una testimonianza collettiva, ampia, solidale e condivisa, che riflette lo spirito dello stesso prof. Sacco: un punto di incontro, un ponte che unisce, un cuore capace di abbracciare ogni diversità. La sua vita è stata un esempio di come l’amore per la conoscenza, la passione per l’avventura e il rispetto per ogni individuo possano creare legami indissolubili tra persone di ogni cammino. In queste pagine gli Autori rendono omaggio ad un uomo che ha illuminato il cammino di coloro che lo hanno incontrato e offrono un tributo alla memoria del Prof. Sacco, sia come fonte di ispirazione sia come faro di conoscenza, amicizia e di tutti quei valori che lui ha incarnato e diffuso lungo la sua straordinaria vita.
