It answers these questions with particular reference to sources of international law, the public and private divide, State responsibility, State immunities, treaty law, State sovereignty, human rights protection, global governance, and the concept of violence in international law.

- Description
- This book takes on fundamental questions at the intersections of gender, sexuality, and the body. Several questions frame the volume: How does studying gender and sexuality expand and enrich our understanding of Muslim-majority countries, historically and at present? How does the embodiment of ’Muslim’ identity get reconfigured in the context of twenty-first-century globalism? What analytical questions are raised about ’Islam’ when its diverse meanings and multifaceted expressions are closely examined? What roles do gender and sexuality play in the construction of cultural, religious, nationalistic, communal, and militaristic identities? How have power struggles been signified in and on the bodies of women and sexuality?

- Description
- This book offers an analysis of case studies on family violence between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, using court records as their main source. It raises questions for research on early modern Europe: the notion of absolute power: sovereignty and its applicability to familial power: the problem of violence and the possibility of its usage for conflict resolution both in public and private spaces: and the interconnection of gender and violence against women, reconsidered in the context of modern state formation as a public sphere and family building as a private sphere. Contributors bring together studies of domestic violence and spousal murder in Romania, England, and Russia, abduction and forced marriage in Poland, infanticide and violence against parents in Finland, and rape and violence against women in Germany.

- Description
- This book assesses the scale and scope of transformations in family life and their implications for gender equality and women’s empowerment. The world as well as families, and the role of women and girls within them, are changing. The report approaches families as institutions where both cooperation (solidarity and love) and conflict (inequality and violence) coexist. It explains how unequal outcomes within families are influenced by family members’ unequal power to negotiate. It also highlights the contribution of social support systems, such as women’s rights organizations, and progressive social norms. The report provides policy recommendations in order to support families and meet the needs of their members.

- This book deals not only with 'typical' colonial empires like the British Empire, but also with those less well-studied, such as the German, Russian, Italian and U.S. empires. The focus is on various imperial formations, from colonies in Africa or Asia to settler colonial settings like Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The book deals with key themes such as intimacy, sexuality and female education, as well as exploring aspects like the marriage regimes some empires developed or the so-called 'servant debates'. It also presents several ways in which imperial formations were structured by gender and categories like race, class, caste, sexuality, religion and citizenship.

- For centuries, women who suffered sexual assault perpetrated by their spouses had no legal recourse. A man's conjugal rights included his right to have sexual intercourse with his wife regardless of whether she consented. This right has been recognised in law, and still is in some jurisdictions. This book emerges from the research undertaken by a multi-country academic collaborative project dedicated to analyzing the legal treatment of sexual assault in intimate relationships (marital rape), with a view to challenging the legal impunity for and inadequate legal responses to this form of gendered violence.

- Description
- This book provides an overview of the main themes surrounding the history of sexuality from 1500 to the present day. The history of sex and the body is an expanding field in which vibrant debate on, for instance, the history of homosexuality, is developing. This book examines the current scholarship and looks towards future directions across the field. The volume is divided into fourteen thematic chapters, which are split into two chronological sections 1500 – 1750 and 1750 to present day. Focusing on the history of sexuality and the body in the West but also interactions with a broader globe, these thematic chapters survey the major areas of debate and discussion. Covering themes such as science, identity, the gaze, courtship, reproduction, sexual violence and the importance of race, the volume offers a comprehensive view of the history of sex and the body. The book concludes with an afterword in which the reader is invited to consider some of the ‘tensions, problems and areas deserving further scrutiny’.

- As globalization intensifies, people’s mobility is increasingly conditioned by intimacy, ranging from love, desire, and sexual liaisons to broader family, kinship, and conjugal matters. This book explores the entanglement of mobility and intimacy in various configurations throughout the world. It argues that rather than being distinct and unrelated phenomena, intimacy-related mobilities constitute variations of cross-border movements shaped by issues of gender, kinship, race, and sexuality, as well as local and global powers and border restrictions in a disparate world.

- The traditional Islamic boarding schools known as pesantren are crucial centres of Muslim learning and culture within Indonesia. This book explores understandings of gender and Islam in pesantren and Sufi orders in Indonesia. It demonstrates how, as Muslim women rise to positions of power and authority in this patriarchal domain, they challenge and negotiate 'normative' Muslim patriarchy while establishing their own Muslim 'authenticity.' The book goes on to question the comparison of Indonesian Islam with the Arab Middle East, challenging the adoption of expatriate and diasporic Middle Eastern Muslim feminist discourses and secular western feminist analyses in Indonesian contexts.

- Description
- This book addresses a number of problems debated by historians of gender and early modern Europe. First, it discusses the problem of assessing the incidence, character and division of work. Second, it analyzes the configurations of work and human difference. Third, it deals with the extent to which work practices created notions of difference--gender difference but also other forms of difference--and, conversely, to what extent work practices contributed to notions of sameness and gender convergence. Finally, it studies the impact of processes of change. Drawing on sources from Sweden, the authors show the importance of multiple employment, the openness of early modern households, the significance of marriage and marital status, the gendered nature of specific tasks, and the ways in which state formation and commercialization were entangled in people's everyday lives.

- Through three neo-institutionalist lenses—historical, sociological and discursive—contributors investigate two aspects of the processes of adoption or opposition of equal recognition of same-sex partnerships. First, the book discusses the way in which claims by LGBTIQ movements are being framed politically and brought to parliamentary politics. Then the contributors explore the ways in which same-sex marriage becomes institutionalized (or resisted) through legal and societal norms and practices. The book incorporates a broad range of perspectives, including scholarship on social movements, LGBTI rights, heterosexuality and social norms and gender and politics, illustrated by international case studies.

- This volume explores the tensions between shared gender identity and the myriad social differences structuring women's lives. By examining historical experiences of early modern women, the authors of these essays consider the possibilities for commonalities and the forces dividing women. They analyse individual and collective identities of early modern women, tracing the web of power relations emerging from women's social interactions and contemporary understandings of femininity. Essays range from the late medieval period to the eighteenth century, study women in England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Sweden, and locate women in a variety of social environments, from household, neighbourhood and parish, to city, court and nation.

- Description
- This volume presents a review of current research on women and gender in early modern Europe from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The authors examine women's lives, ideologies of gender, and the differences between ideology and reality through the recent research across many disciplines, including history, literary studies, art history, musicology, history of science and medicine, and religious studies. The companion not only offers an examination of the current research on women in early modern Europe, but will act as a spark for new research in the field.
