Promoting Gender Equality Abroad
The EU likes to be seen as a normative actor, engaged in diffusing the norms and values enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty. This book focuses on gender equality as one of these values. It shows that the EU, in implementing the mandate to promote gender equality abroad, is acting under distinctly separate sets of logic in the various policy fields and vis-�-vis different stakeholders. The same normative commitment to gender equality, when filtered through the particular logic of the various policy fields, leads to different types of external action with rather different outcomes.

Violent Women in Print
West Germany's terrorist period of the 1970s is still a troubling and fascinating subject for Germans, not least because of the high proportion of women involved, most notoriously Ulrike Meinhof. The present study examines the West German print media of the 1960s and 1970s, from the right-wing 'Bild' to the left-leaning 'Der Spiegel'to explore how violent women - both terrorists and others - were represented in image and text. This is the first book to explore print-media representations of German terrorism from an explicitly gendered perspective, and one of very few books in English to addres.
Crime, Gender and Social Control in Early Modern Frankfurt am Main
This book charts the lives of (suspected) thieves, illegitimate mothers and vagrants in early modern Frankfurt. The book highlights the gender differences in recorded criminality and the way that they were shaped by the local context. Women played a prominent role in recorded crime in this period, and could even make up half of all defendants in specific European cities. At the same time, there were also large regional differences. Women’s crime patterns in Frankfurt were both similar and different to those of other cities. Informal control within the household played a significant role and influenced the prosecution patterns of authorities. This impacted men and women differently, and created clear distinctions within the system between settled locals and unsettled migrants.
Healthy Justice
Der vorliegende Band greift die immer wieder aktualisierte Kritik an der strafrechtlichen Bearbeitung von Konflikten auf. Die Beiträge gehen der Frage nach, ob und wie das Strafrechtssystem – etwa durch Formen einer Restorative Justice, deren Ziel die (Wieder-)Herstellung des sozialen Friedens ist und die auf Verfahrensgerechtigkeit abzielen – abgeändert und/oder ergänzt werden kann, um allen Beteiligten ein gesundes Weiterleben während und nach der Konfliktbearbeitung zu ermöglichen.

A New Approach to the History of Violence
Up to now, historical research has treated violence mainly with reference to war, murder or massacre. Francisca Loetz argues for a new, complementary approach to history of violence as an interpersonal form of social action experienced as unacceptable behavior and aiming to subjugate the victim in everyday life. Analyzing cases of what the sources call “sexual assault” and “sexual abuse” in the city state of Zurich between 1500 and 1850, Loetz discusses fundamental methodological problems such as: how can violence be defined as a concept? What makes violence what it is in a given society? Why is early modern “sexual assault” and “sexual abuse” not equivalent to modern rape and abuse? How does Zurich compare with pre-modern Europe?
Strafrechts- und Kriminalitätsgeschichte der Frühen Neuzeit
Kriminalität, Strafrecht und Strafjustiz haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten als wichtige Felder der internationalen historischen Forschung etabliert. Der Band gibt einen Überblick über die Vielfalt der einschlägigen Quellen und Methoden und die damit verbundenen Themenfelder, Konzepte und Kontroversen der neueren Strafrechtsgeschichte und der historischen Kriminalitätsforschung. In dieser interdisziplinären Perspektivierung werden exemplarische Forschungsfelder unter Einbeziehung aktueller transnationaler, kultur- und mediengeschichtlicher Forschungsperspektiven vorgestellt.
Living with Paradoxes
How do women who have survived traumatic sexual violence cope with and manage their everyday lives? Karolin Eva Kappler analyses the everyday life of victims of sexual violence, combining the normalcy of their daily life with the overwhelming experience of rape and sexual abuse. Based on a qualitative study, the author detects five patterns which characterize the victims’ everyday coping practices and strategies. The grounded analysis of the interview material shows the fragility of the victims’ lives, depending on paradoxes which reduce their freedom of choice and which explain the individual and social invisibility of sexual violence. The book is valuable reading for academics and practitioners working in the fields of sociology, psychology, medicine, social work, and education.
Gender Dynamics and Globalisation
This volume applies a gender-sensitive perspective on Japan, discussing issues such as national identity, the changing appeal of role models, legacies of a misogynous past, gendered education policies, female imaging in the media, or working women's networks. The transnational dimension of this perspective is highlighted by comparisons drawn between Japan and other countries of the region such as Philippines and South Korea. Authors attend to concepts of gender and gendered identities as well as to actors within gendered spaces of society.
