Women’s Empowerment and Its Limits
Bringing together a range of scholarship, this edited volume investigates the limits and boundaries of women’s empowerment toward shaping sustainability by unpacking power relationships that affect women’s inclusive citizenship; analyzing concrete examples of limits across different regions; and exploring the rise of new technological innovations that may (or may not) contribute to dissolve those limits. Chapters focus on different dimensions related disempowerment (such as historical, cultural, socio-economic, and normative) to frame a new understanding of how achieving equality around the world.

This book will be of interest to scholars, students, and policymakers across Law, Sociology, Gender Studies, Politics, and Economics.

The Position of Roman Slaves
Slaves were property of their dominus, objects rather than persons, without rights: These are some components of our basic knowledge about Roman slavery. But Roman slavery was more diverse than we might assume from the standard wording about servile legal status. Numerous inscriptions as well as literary and legal sources reveal clear differences in the social structure of Roman slavery. There were numerous groups and professions who shared the status of being unfree while inhabiting very different worlds. The papers in this volume pose the question of whether and how legal texts reflected such social differences within the Roman servile community. Did the legal system reinscribe social diff...

Environmental Thought in the Graeco-Roman World
The debate that has arisen around the concept of the Anthropocene forms the basis of this book.

The aim is to interrogate historical sources and diverse evidence and to analyse political and socioeconomic structures, according to a reading focused on possible antecedents, cultural prodromes, alignments of thought or divergencies, with respect to major modern environmental problems and current ecological conceptuali...

«Heimat di tutti i giuristi»
Philipp Lotmar (1850-1922) definiva nel 1896 il diritto romano «gemeinsame geistige Heimat aller Rechstgelehrte», nella convinzione che l’esperienza giuridica romana rappresenti il fondamento imprescindibile di ogni branca del diritto e costituisca la chiave di lettura e di comprensione dei problemi giuridici. Di lì a poco Lotmar tradusse nei fatti questa sua convinzione, mettendo le sue competenze romanistiche a pietra d’angolo dell’architettura del diritto del lavoro, di cui è considerato uno dei padri fondatori in Europa. Il volume concentra in un’unica sede contributi in lingua italiana sulle sue ricerche romanistiche, mirando a testimoniare, oltre al suo faticoso percorso accademico e scientifico, la latitudine di interessi che lo portò ad affrontare – sempre con grande serietà e rigore scientifico – i temi più diversi della disciplina.
