Mulheres, Política e Direitos Políticos
A história da cultura baseada no gênero moldou os papéis, públicos e privados, que homens e mulheres se encontram atualmente. Além da abordagem sobre temas de interesse mais abrangente, como direitos políticos, direito eleitoral, igualdade de gênero, democracia, representação descritiva e substantiva, a obra aborda a representação política feminina que, apesar das sensíveis mudanças decorrentes das ações afirmativas, ainda se encontra aquém das exigências de um Estado Democrático de Direito. Para além disso, o livro traz um quadro de obstáculos à participação política feminina e de mecanismos e agentes de impulsionamento de tal atividade, que vão muito além das cotas. Apresenta, também, uma importante reflexão sobre os riscos de retrocessos decorrentes da necessária reavaliação de medidas de discriminação positiva, dado seu caráter temporário e dos riscos de movimentos contracorrentes que possam colocar em risco, ainda que dentro de um processo democrático, os direitos políticos das mulheres, tudo dentro de um vasto estudo histórico, social, político, filosófico e jurídico.
Conceptual Jurisprudence
This book brings together leading legal theorists to present original philosophical work on the concept of law - the central question of jurisprudence. It covers five broad topics: firstly it addresses debates concerning the methodology of jurisprudence. In Part II it focuses on the notion of a legal system and its coercive nature, while Part III explores the relationships between law and morality, the traditional point of contention between positivist and non-positivist theories of law. Part IV then examines questions regarding law’s normative character and relationships with practical reason. Lastly, the final part introduces two novel theoretical approaches to conceptual jurisprudence.

An African Niche Economy
The main body of the book is based on anthropological field research. It describes the contours of growth from 1968-88 through narratives of change for all the major participants. The final section draws together all the threads and discusses the interplay amongst the technical repertoire for production in a savanna ecology, forces emanating from the political economy of the urban hinterland, and the tenets of Yoruba occupational culture.
Old and New Minorities
"The growing diversity of national communities has generated pressures for the construction of new and more defensible forms of accommodating social cohesion and diversity. The central question of this book is whether it is possible to develop a defensible model for minority integration encompassing the traditional dichotomy 'old-new' minorities and which reconciles unity and diversity. The book contends that it is possible to address this issues by bridging two fields of research: minorities and migration. Studying the interaction and similarities between 'old' and 'new' minority groups is a rather new task because so far these topics have been studied in isolation. It is also an important task for future research within Europe as many states have established systems of 'old' minority rights, but have not yet developed sound policies for the integration of new minority groups originating from migration. The volume is a valuable resource for academics, scholars, advanced students --
The Poor in Western Europe in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of poverty, class and the welfare state.

The End of Politics?
Since communism collapsed we have witnessed the emergence of numerous political actors - neopopulists, neoliberals, fundamentalists, nationalists, and others - who share one ideological leitmotif: their deep contempt for modern democratic politics. The book asks an old question: What is politics? And it adds a new one to the agenda of social sciences: What is antipolitics? Some authors trace antipolitical traditions in Western political thought, while others analyze the rhetoric of contemporary antipolitical actors in the US, the former Soviet Union, and South America. The book contains contributions from Charles H. Fairbanks Jr, Barry Hindess, Erwin A. Jaffe, Norbert Lechner, Jose Nun, Louis Pauly, Andreas Schedler, and Gershon Weiler.
