- Description
- Will gender balance in elected assemblies soon be reached? Around 100 years after women's suffrage was gained most countries are still at some distance from this goal. In 2013, the average representation of women in the world's parliaments was around 20 per cent. This book analyses the longitudinal development of women's political representation in eight old democracies, where women were enfranchised before and around World War I: Denmark, Iceland, Germany, The Netherlands, New Jersey (USA), New South Wales (Australia), Sweden, and the United Kingdom. These countries/states have all followed an incremental track model of change in women's position in political life, but have followed different trajectories. This slow development stands in contrast to recent examples of fast track development in many countries from the Global South, not least as a result of the adoption of gender quotas. Furthermore, the book discusses in four separate chapters the common historical development in old democracies, the different trajectories and sequences, the framing of women politicians, and the impact of party and party system change. In this book a new model of male dominance is developed and defined in terms of both degree and scope. Four stages are identified: male monopoly, small minority, large minority, and gender balance.

- Description
- Although European policy initiatives to advance the position of women in Academia have proliferated, both at national and EU levels, serious inequities of many kinds remain. This situation is exposed and investigated in this book, which presents reports and discussions from a conference held at the Law Faculty of Lund University in December 2004. The participants law professors and social scientists present detailed reports on domestic experiences and regulations in eight European countries Among the many issues raised are the following: positive action in theory and practice: the progress of the EU Commission s strategy to integrate equal opportunity into all Community policies and activities: the motives for promoting women in Academia: the extensive group of part-timers and fixed-term employees at the margin of the traditional academic career: the importance of creating a situation in Academia where woman excellence shows: and the development of marketable research disciplines embodied in private research institutes.

- Description
- Increasing numbers of women, including mothers, in employment has become a major European objective, for reasons of both gender equality and economic regeneration. Their past allocation to the home may not have been fair to women, but it did ensure that caring and domestic work was achieved. The new scenario has brought with it considerable social change, including the erosion of the 'traditional' family, declining fertility, and growing problems of work-life 'balance'. The authors addres these topics, drawing on quantitative and qualitative research materials from Britain, France, The Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Portugal. Many of the chapters undertake comparative analysis, drawing on evidence from these countries, thereby facilitating a realistic evaluation of the policy options available. Wider questions, including the consequence of these changes for gender and class inequalities, are also addressed.

- 'This dissertation will analyze representations of Afghan women wearing a burqa and the specific ways in which such images are constructed. I will focus on specific representations that were originally created in the Netherlands, France, Sweden, and the United States. These representations range from media discourses to visual arts and political discourses but they constitute two sets of interventions. In the first part of the dissertation, I focus on representations of the burqa worn by women in Afghanistan (over there, where the archetype sees them as oppressed by their culture), and in the second part of the dissertation, I turn to images that represent the burqa in our midst, within “our” Western world. And this time, the woman is represented as a threat as well as a victim.'

- Description
- The multidisciplinary contributions, which cover a variety of theoretical approaches, are all concerned with transitional labor markets and labor market policy in the new global economic environment. The authors first address current arguments and controversies regarding appropriate institutions for the formation and implementation of labor market and employment policies. They move on to focus on the policies and problems associated with enhancing gender equality in terms of labor market integration and transitions. Finally, they examine new institutional arrangements that they believe will both enhance the performance of transitional labor markets and improve the management of social risks. .Combining a theoretical approach with empirical research and a strong policy emphasis, the scope and diversity of this book will ensure a broad audience among economists, political scientists and academics in the fields of labor market theory and policy.

- Description
- This book assesses the effects of globalization on the life courses of women in thirteen countries across Europe and America in the second half of the 20th century. It represents a longitudinal analysis of micro-level data from these OECD countries focusing exclusively on women’s relationship to the labor market in a globalizing world. The contributors examine women’s employment entries, exits and job mobility and present evidence of women’s increased labor market attachment and reduced employment quality in most of the countries studied. They also consider the life course changes influenced by larger transformations in society and, in doing so, explicitly link the phenomena of globalization to individual women’s lives in Europe and North America.

- Description
- Generations of social thinkers have assumed that access to legitimate paid employment and a decline in the ‘double standard’ would eliminate the reasons behind women’s participation in prostitution. Yet in both the developing world and in postindustrial cities of the West, sexual commerce has continued to flourish, diversifying along technological, spatial, and social lines. In this deeply engaging and theoretically provocative study, Elizabeth Bernstein examines the social features that undergird the expansion and diversification of commercialized sex, demonstrating the ways that postindustrial economic and cultural formations have spawned rapid and unforeseen changes in the forms, meanings, and spatial organization of sexual labor. Drawing upon dynamic and innovative research with sex workers, their clients, and state actors, Bernstein argues that in cities such as San Francisco, Stockholm, and Amsterdam, the nature of what is purchased in commercial sexual encounters is also new. Rather than the expedient exchange of cash for sexual relations, what sex workers are increasingly paid to offer their clients is an erotic experience premised upon the performance of authentic interpersonal connection.

Schacher analyses the Armenian refugee issue in the 1920s, pointing out striking continuities with more recent debates. All authors focus on gender as the primary analytical category. In the conclusion, we make comparisons between the countries and between the categories of migrants examined. All authors address the intersection of gender with other categories of analysis.'

- Description
- Women have been structurally part of the masonic enterprise from at least the middle of the 18th century. This book is about the ways in which they themselves obtained and exercised power to influence the systems they were involved in, in order to adapt them to be more appropriate to their needs. The volume intends to concentrate on two aspects: Women’s agency (i.e. the power women gained and exercised in this context) and rituals (i.e. the role of men and women in changing and shaping the rituals women work with). These two aspects are closely related, since it requires some agency to realise changes in existing rituals.

- Description
- This volume addresses three things: God, sex, and politics. It investigates what is at stake in these constructions of religion and homosexuality in public discourses. Starting with the Netherlands as a special case study, it proceeds with contributions on other predominantly postsecular countries in central, northern, and southern Europe as well as several postcommunist and postcolonial countries ’beyond Europe’. Combining contemporary and historical perspectives and approaches from both the humanities and the social sciences, the contributors explore how national and European identities are constructed and contested in debates on religion and homosexuality.

- Description
- With the growth of parental employment, leave policy is at the center of welfare state development and at the heart of countries' child and family policies. It is the point where many different policy areas intersect — child wellbeing, family, gender equality, employment and labour markets, and demography. Leave policy gives an insight into a country's values, interests, and priorities. International comparisons of leave policy are available, but less attention has been paid to understanding the factors that bring about these variations. This book covers 15 countries in Europe and beyond and looks at parental leave policy within a wider work/family context, while addressing how, why, and by whom, particular òpolicies are created and subsequently developed in particular countries.
