Community Prevention of Child Labor
This book discusses preventive actions that have led to reduction in the prevalence of child labor across the world over the 21st century. It identifies exemplary programs in the area of community prevention that have had exceptional results; for example, the involvement of children in hazardous work globally being reduced by half. It documents a wide range of contexts where concerted action has counteracted social permissiveness towards child labor, including psycho-educational interventions in preventing early school leaving and conditional cash benefits which counteract family poverty. The book presents a set of evidence-based practices that are particularly useful for psychologists, educators, and social workers. More broadly, this book is also of interest to policymakers, professionals, and activists involved in child protection policy or in implementing programs to promote the psychological well-being of children.
Mixed Methods Social Networks Research
This edited volume demonstrates the potential of mixed-methods designs for the research of social networks and the utilization of social networks for other research. Mixing methods applies to the combination and integration of qualitative and quantitative methods. In social network research, mixing methods also applies to the combination of structural and actor-oriented approaches. The volume provides readers with methodological concepts to guide mixed-method network studies with precise research designs and methods to investigate social networks of various sorts. Each chapter describes the research design used and discusses the strengths of the methods for that particular field and for specific outcomes.

Moroccan Immigrant Women in Spain
Immigrant Moroccan Women in Spain: Honor and Marriage provides an ethnographic study of Moroccan Muslim immigrant women in Spain that captures the predicaments and strategies used in their adaptation to Spanish society. Moroccan immigrant women’s social and emotional connections to honor and duty affect familial relations, identity, and the sense of belonging. Although the women have kept transnational ties to friends and families Morocco, the establishment of new relationships and networks presents them with information, ideas, and opportunities that result in a complex process of altering their imported ideas and practices. This book also reveals and explores the geopolitical tension that affects these women’s interactions and negotiations with various Spanish institutions and how the representations of Islam affect the Spanish reception and treatment of Moroccans. Working as domestic workers and agricultural laborers in Spain, Moroccan immigrant women illuminate the problems associated with gender, labor, modernity, and globalization.
Deliberation Naturalized
This book advances a 'naturalized' normative theory of deliberative democracy; one that is informed by an empirically-grounded analysis of public deliberation in naturalistic settings and in unadulterated form, and goes on to provide institutional design proposals for how to improve it.
Migration, Diaspora and Information Technology in Global Societies
Migrants and diaspora communities are shaped by their use of information and communication technologies. This book explores the multifaceted role played by new media in the re-location of these groups of people, assisting them in their efforts to defeat nostalgia, construct new communities, and keep connected with their communities of origin. Furthermore, the book analyses the different ways in which migrants contribute, along with natives, in co-constructing contemporary societies – a process in which the cultures of both groups are considered. Drawing on contributions from a range of disciplines including sociology, anthropology, psychology and linguistics, it offers a more profound understanding of one of the most significant phenomena of contemporary international societies – the migration of nearly a billion people worldwide - and the relationship between technology and society.
Social Network Analysis in Sport Research
Social network analysis is a methodological tool used to investigate social networks, or collections of individuals, groups, or organizations and their shared relationships. Sport researchers increasingly have applied social network analysis to a variety of sport contexts, from team interactions among players and coaches to tailgating among fans to mega sporting events and their organizers and other stakeholders. An opportunity now exists to expand this research and generate new insights regarding myriad sport contexts and applications. This book provides an overview of the growing body of social network analysis research in sport. Additionally, it offers practical guidance for applying social network analysis within different sport settings and for using this methodology with new research applications.
Geografías del desorden
El sistema econòmic dominant posseeix la característica de sembrar la pobresa i desarticular socialment les àrees geogràfiques que queden als marges de l’imperi tecnoestructural.

Redes Sociales: teoría, métodos y aplicaciones en América Latina
El estudio sistemático sobre las redes sociales ha sido de gran interés en los últimos años para representar y entender complejos fenómenos sociales. Los científicos de redes, y quienes se dedican a analizar redes sociales, usualmente poseen una perspectiva común y utilizan métricas formales para explicar complejos fenómenos sociales más allá de su interpretación metafórica, concentrándose en las interacciones y relaciones sociales entre entidades sociales. En el mundo hispanoparlante, un grupo importante de investigadores han afianzado lazos para formar una comunidad de científicos de redes que participan activamente en las conferencias más relevantes sobre esta perspectiva ...
