The Ashgate Research Companion to the Politics of Democratization in Europe
'Democratization' is a concept often used in academic book titles, yet not many of them deal with the initial breakthrough of democratization. This research companion presents an alternative view to the widespread assumption that Western democracies should be the normative reference for the study of democratization elsewhere. Rather, it questions the universal validity of such an assumption by searching the history of European politics and by paying specific attention to the struggles of democratization accomplished outside Western Europe. The authors apply a comparative approach to analyzing debates in the primary sources in a number of countries and languages and situate the results into a broader European context. Focusing on European democratization from different historical and analytical perspectives, they discuss the politics, concepts and histories involved in democratization as a complex of changes that has altered the conditions of political action and debate in the continent for the past two centuries.
The Gender of Capital
Two leading social scientists examine the gender wealth gap in countries with officially egalitarian property law, showing how legal professionals—wittingly and unwittingly—help rich families and men maintain their privilege. In many countries, property law grants equal rights to men and women. Why, then, do women still accumulate less wealth than men? Combining quantitative, ethnographic, and archival research, The Gender of Capital explains how and why, in every class of society, women are economically disadvantaged with respect to their husbands, fathers, and brothers. The reasons lie with the unfair economic arrangements that play out in divorce proceedings, estate planning, and othe...
Racial Emotion at Work
"This is a book about our racial emotions as we experience them at work, about the need to re-set our institutional, and not just our personal, radars on racial emotions to situate our workplaces for racial justice success--and about how we can go about that. The point is not to define racism (or discrimination) in terms of emotions. Discrimination is, after all, a problem of human behavior and outcomes, not hearts and minds, but seeing emotions as a source of discrimination can open up new avenues for change. Racial Emotion at Work is an invitation to understand our own emotions and associated behaviors around race and also to change our institutions--our law and work organizations--for a fairer future for all"--
Judicial Transformations
The importance of fundamental rights is exploding across all areas of law in Europe. Grounded in comparative law and political science, this book explores the causes of the rights revolution, and its impact on European judiciaries.
The Politics of Alterity
Is France afraid of her others? By looking back at the discourses and practices that have been formed over the last fifteen years, Sarah Mazouz addresses French politics of alterity. Drawing on an ethnographic survey conducted in both public administrations in charge of combating racial discrimination and in naturalisation offices in a large city in the Paris region, she shows how immigration, nation, and racialisation are articulated in the social space. Through the analysis of these two public offices, Mazouz questions the processes of inclusion and exclusion within the national group itself and between the national and the foreigner. In so doing, she seeks to grasp the paradoxical relationship between the French Republic and her others and the plural logics producing national order.
Transforming Gender Citizenship
Explains the adoption, diffusion of, and resistance to gender quotas in politics, corporate boards and public administration across Europe.
Le management de la vertu
Aux arguments juridiques et éthiques pressant les entreprises de lutter contre les discriminations, les milieux d’affaires ont opposé leur propre stratégie de la diversité. Dans les plus grandes entreprises, sa mise en œuvre est confiée aux managers de la diversité et repose sur l’idée que la valorisation des différences et le traitement équitable de la main-d’œuvre permettrait d’attirer les talents, de conquérir de nouveaux marchés, d’améliorer l’image de l’entreprise, de stimuler la créativité, etc. Que nous disent ces politiques de la diversité du capitalisme contemporain ? A Paris ou à New York, Laure Bereni montre que ces conduites gestionnaires marquées du sceau de la vertu témoignent d’une articulation entre morale et marché propre à l’ère néolibérale. Directrice de recherche au CNRS Laure Bereni est sociologue au centre Maurice Halbwachs (ENS-EHESS-CNRS). Ses travaux portent sur le genre, les mouvements sociaux et l’action anti-discriminatoire (parité politique, promotion de la diversité en entreprise). Elle a codirigé avec Catherine Achin le Dictionnaire genre & science politique (Presses de Sciences Po, 2013).

The Lesbian and Gay Movement and the State
By analyzing the relationship between lesbian and gay movements and the state, this ground-breaking book addresses two interconnected issues: to what extent is the lesbian and gay movement influenced by the state and, to a lesser extent, whether the lesbian and gay movement has somehow influenced the state, for instance by altering forms of sexual regulation. Given the diversity in national trajectories, this book covers fifteen countries. This enables the volume to shed light on different kinds of relationships between these groups and the state, as well as on the way they have evolved in recent decades. The Lesbian and Gay Movement and the State: Comparative Insights into a Transformed Rel...
