- Description
- This article explores the most prominent policy solution enacted by the World Bank to the tension between paid and unpaid work of women: the restructuring of normative heterosexuality to encourage a two-partner model of love and labour wherein women work more and men care better. Through a case study of Bank gender lending in Ecuador the author argues that staff are trying to (re)forge normative arrangements of intimacy, a policy preference that remains invisible unless sexuality is taken seriously as a category of analysis in development studies.

- Description
- This article aims to examine one aspect of legal doctrine, that of detrimental reliance in the context of raising constructive trusts or proprietary estoppels, in order to establish more precisely how the process of construction operates. The focus will be on a decision of the Court of Appeal, Wayling v. Jones, a case arising out of a long-term intimate relationship between two men, and this decision is used as a site in which to explore the interaction of legally sanctioned discourses of gender and sexuality.

- Description
- This article examines whether a gender mainstreaming approach in the Italian collective bargaining system, combined with legislative measures, may improve the situation of women in the context of both public and private spheres. In particular, it looks at whether gender mainstreaming has the potential to pave the way towards an ethos of substantive equality at the workplace, whereby women enter the workforce on equal terms and men are in a position to share the dual responsibilities of paid and unpaid work.

- Description
- The author argues how the Portuguese legal system’s efforts to determine paternity of children born outside legal marriage, automatically initiated by the Registry Office when a birth registration does not indicate the father, reveal cultural models which reinforce the naturalisation of the differences between mothers and fathers, with significant effects on the social construction of parental roles and on expectations of family organisation and female sexual behaviour.
