This book presents the results of the latest in a long-running research project using the RIMES instrument, developed by scholars in Spain. Here, RIMES is used to measure the extent of social exclusion resulting from the penal system in comparative perspective. The volume shows the results of the application of the instrument in seven criminal justice systems: Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, England and Wales, California, and New York. Divided into two parts, the first provides a general overview of the RIMES instrument, including a discussion of the theoretical model and the methodology. The second part focuses on the results of the application of RIMES in the seven jurisdictions. The compar...
La violència de gènere té múltiples manifestacions. La Llei contra la violència masclista 5/2008, sobre el Dret de les dones a eradicar la violència masclista a Catalunya servirà com a referent per aproximar-nos a les diferents arestes d'aquesta problemàtica social, atès que en aquesta llei es desenvolupen aquells àmbits de la nostra cultura en els quals es produeixen majors violències. Aquesta llei tracta les manifestacions dels diversos tipus de violència (física, psicològica, sexual i econòmica) que tenen lloc en àmbits concrets, en el marc de relacions afectives i sexuals, en els àmbits de la parella, familiar, laboral i socio-comunitari. També considerarem la Llei estatal LO / 2004 de Mesures de protecció integral contra la violència de gènere.\n

Patrick Iber tells the story of left-wing Latin American artists, writers, and scholars who worked as diplomats, advised rulers, opposed dictators, and even led nations during the Cold War. Ultimately, they could not break free from the era’s rigid binaries, and found little room to promote their social democratic ideals without compromising them.
En la literatura, las investigaciones sobre la teoría de la legislación son todavía relativamente escasas. Se trata de un campo muy amplio, orientado a la construcción de parámetros sobre cómo legislar mejor. En un Estado Constitucional de Derecho, más que nunca, es necesario volver los ojos a las prácticas legislativas y examinar cómo argumentan los legisladores. La autora presenta aquí las principales piezas que debería considerar una teoría normativa y comprensiva de la legislación, sensible al funcionamiento de la política, a las influencias, motivaciones y factores intuitivos de los actores políticos, a las relaciones entre los Poderes y orientada a la promoción de una m...
Protest is a ubiquitous and richly varied social phenomenon, one that finds expression not only in modern social movements and political organizations but also in grassroots initiatives, individual action, and creative works. It constitutes a distinct cultural domain, one whose symbolic content is regularly deployed by media and advertisers, among other actors. Yet within social movement scholarship, such cultural considerations have been comparatively neglected. Protest Cultures: A Companion dramatically expands the analytical perspective on protest beyond its political and sociological aspects. It combines cutting-edge synthetic essays with concise, accessible case studies on a remarkable array of protest cultures, outlining key literature and future lines of inquiry.
Since World War II, abortion policies have remained remarkably varied across European nations, with struggles over abortion rights at the forefront of national politics. This volume analyses European abortion governance and explores how social movements, political groups, and individuals use protests and resistance to influence abortion policy. Drawing on case studies from Italy, Spain, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the European Union, it analyses the strategies and discourses of groups seeking to liberalise or restrict reproductive rights. It also illuminates the ways that reproductive rights politics intersect with demographic anxieties, as well as the rising nationalisms and xenophobia related to austerity policies, mass migration and the recent terrorist attacks in Europe.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
