The Prevention and Intervention of Genocide
This volume is comprised of over 2,300 annotations on a wide array of issues and topics germane to the subject of preventing the atrocities of genocide and managing these conflicts when they do arise. Samuel Totten brings together in one comprehensive collection the research and findings in various fields, such as political science, sociology, history, and psychology, to enable specialists in genocide studies, peace studies, and conflict resolution to benefit from the insights of a diverse range of scholars and foster an understanding of how the various components of genocide studies connect. Among the topics included are: key conventions, international treaties, and covenants genocide early...
Redescriptions
The concepts and rhetoric of democracy are once again the main focus of this volume of Redescriptions volume. The book's contributions take up: the claim of representative democracy as an elective aristocracy, the past and present of the British parliament, the media's dealing with gender in the US presidential campaign, and the reactivated debate on obligatory voting. Two articles deal with the legal language of politics, namely with the German tradition of international law and with the unproblematic concept of human rights today, and a further article looks at the politics of languages.

Beyond Nationalism?
Bringing fresh insight to an important contemporary debate, Fred Dallmayr and José M. Rosales consider the changing definition of nationalism and the nation-state in our era of globalization. The question mark in the title of this volume points to the multiple issues at stake: what is the meaning of nationalism? Is there only one or possibly multiple types of nationalism? What does it mean to be "beyond" nationalism? Can one safely abandon nationalism and the nation-state? The contributors address these and other concerns, not only through the lenses of institutional and comparative social scientific analysis, but also with an eye toward the "existential" implications for people living in our time: their well-being, legal safety and protection, and sense of identity. Dallmayr and Rosales have structured the book in three parts, leading from theoretical revisions of nationalist theory to contrasting views on globalization and sovereignty to the concluding discussion of human rights. Beyond Nationalism? thus explores some of the most urgent contemporary civic and political challenges raised by a post-national and cosmopolitan reconfiguration of the world order.

Ciudadanas incapaces
Con la sanción de los primeros Códigos Civiles, las mujeres casadas fueron definidas como sujetos de incapacidad de hecho relativa. Este estatus venía anudado a la noción de potestad marital, que suponía un conjunto de derechos que eran exclusivos del marido sobre la persona y los bienes de la esposa. En los cuatro países que este libro estudia, las reformas que instituyeron la capacidad civil plena para las mujeres casadas ocurrieron en distintos momentos del período 1945-1990, tanto bajo regímenes democráticos como autoritarios. La investigación pone en cuestión la existencia de una conexión inmediata entre democracia y ampliación de derechos y discute la visión acumulativa de derechos -civiles, primero; políticos, después. La evidencia histórica muestra que, durante un tiempo, más o menos largo según el caso, las mujeres de Argentina, Brasil, Chile y Uruguay fueron ciudadanas incapaces.
