Population policies reconsidered
In deze bundel onderzoeken de auteurs richtlijnen in de toekomst voor bevolkingspolitiek, geconcentreerd rond thema's als gezondheid, versterking van de positie van de vrouw, en mensenrechten. Zij stellen dat bevolkingspolitiek de rechten en het welzijn van mensen die reeds geboren zijn en van mensen die geboren zullen worden zeker moeten stellen, meer nog dan alleen maar proberen de uiteindelijke omvang van de wereldbevolking te beperken.- Creator

Dangerous intersections
Aandacht voor de problemen t.a.v. milieu, economische ontwikkeling en de bevolkingsexplosie. Dit laatste wordt door het mainstream beleid en door het beleid van de NGO's aangegrepen om vooral de vruchtbaarheid van arme, zwarte vrouwen, zowel in het 'noorden' als in het 'zuiden' als hoofdschuldige aan te wijzen aan de bedreiging van de ecologische balans in de wereld.- Creator

Sex in development
Focus on how development projects around the world intended to promote population management, disease prevention, and maternal and child health intentionally and unintentionally shape ideas about what constitutes normal sexual practices and identities. From sex education in Uganda to AIDS prevention in India to family planning in Greece, various sites of development work related to sex, sexuality, and reproduction are examined.- Creator

Reproductive health and human rights
This volume critically reflects on the past fifteen years of international efforts aimed at improving health, alleviating poverty, diminishing gender inequality, and promoting human rights. It includes essays by leading scholars and practitioners that are centered on the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) and its resulting Programme of Action. More than a decade later there is growing concern about its effectiveness. .The book grapples with fundamental questions about the relationships among population, fertility decline, reproductive health, human rights, poverty alleviation, and development and assesses the various arguments—demographic, public health, human rights-based, and economic—for and against ICPD today. .A number of the chapters address institutional challenges to ICPD and consider how the changing political, religious, academic, and disciplinary contexts matter. Other chapters engage operational and conceptual issues and whether ICPD has been able to move the reproductive health agenda forward on topics such as maternal mortality, abortion, HIV/AIDS, adolescents, reproductive technologies, and demography. Finally, several chapters examine how ICPD has been sidelined by emerging health and development agendas and what could be done in response.- Creator

Multiple meanings of gender equality
This book aims to map the diversity of meanings of gender equality across Europe - including the European Union and member states such as Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece, and Spain - and reflects on the contested concept of gender equality. The different meanings of gender equality are explored comparatively in relation to the issues of family policies, domestic violence, and gender inequality in politics, while specific national contexts discuss the issues of prostitution (Austria, Slovenia), migration (the Netherlands), homosexual rights (Spain), and antidiscrimination (Hungary). Each chapter will provide insights on the ongoing theoretical and political debate about gender equality.- Creator

Reproductive states
The authors survey population policies from key countries on five continents to provide a global perspective. Regardless of the type of government or its cultural history, many of these countries have developed similar policies to control their populations and attempt to combat social problems such as poverty and hunger. However, the common denominator is that states have used women's bodies as a political resource. This book illustrates how countries have developed their strategies in response to goals driven by the United Nations and the United States. Due to fears of a post-World War II 'population bomb' and uncertainty of how to deal with the world's poor after the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union led the charge among nations to devise strategies to control their populations, but in different ways. The U.S. and some European countries pressed the poor and ethnic minorities to limit reproduction. China's 'one child' policy targeted all ranks of society, while Soviet women were under surveillance through state-planned services such as medical care and commodity distribution to detect pregnancy.- Creator

Gender and catastrophe
Bundel waarin vanuit genderperspectief naar catastrofes (oorlog, genocide, slavernij, de Holocaust, massaverkrachting enz.) wordt gekeken: zowel theorieën over de manieren waarop vrouwen deelnemen als doelwit zijn van catastrofale processen.
