Also focus on the World Bank's role in providing loans, on gender justice priorities versus the legal Reform agenda's priorities.

- Description
- The purpose of this volume of essays is to address contemporary dilemmas surrounding the regulation of sexuality. The contributors to this book seek to address complex political questions , including: Is the pursuit of marital rights the best means to attain erotic freedom for gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals? Should the flourishing of the international sex trade demand a different state response than other sectors of the expanding global economy? How can we simultaneously empower and protect children in the course of their erotic decision-making? The volume concludes with a discussion of new directions for theorizing about and advocating for sexual justice.

- Description
- In these essays, Grosz demonstrates how imagining different relations between the past, present, and future alters understandings of social and scientific projects ranging from theories of justice to evolutionary biology, and she explores the radical implications of the reordering of these projects for feminist, queer, and critical race theories. .Grosz’s reflections on how rethinking time might generate new understandings of nature, culture, subjectivity, and politics are wide-ranging. She moves from a compelling argument that Charles Darwin’s notion of biological and cultural evolution can potentially benefit feminist, queer, and antiracist agendas to an exploration of modern jurisprudence’s reliance on the notion that justice is only immanent in the future and thus is always beyond reach.

- Description
- The story of the Renaissance has usually been told through the elite male perspective. In this book, the lives of women and girls from a wide range of classes, religions, and countries in Europe take center stage. Women had a significant impact on the economy, social structures, and the culture of the Renaissance, despite the constraints on their exercise of power, lack of opportunities, enforced dependence, and exclusion from politics, government, science, law, banking, and more. The authors examine the attitudes and practices that shaped the varied roles of women then, but also the important ways women shaped the world in which they lived. The focus is on both the ideas that circulated about women and on the difference between representations of them and their everyday life experiences.

- Description
- Gender inequality and poverty are pressing issues in most countries across Central and Eastern Europe. The changing relationship between the European Union (EU) and these countries has a considerable effect on them. Gender equality and poverty eradication could be advanced if the EU maintained a commitment to these in its policies and instruments. However, it fails to do so. While the legal framework does feature clear commitments to poverty eradication and gender equality, specific policy instruments and strategies do not carry this through. The report concludes that, for the EU to be a socially responsible global actor, to avoid creating new divisions on the European continent and to contribute to achieving the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), it must significantly increase its efforts to support gender equality and poverty eradication in its assistance to this region.

- Description
- Gender and Rights presents twenty five essays by leading international scholars and advocates the relationship between rights and gender inequality. The essays are organized into six categories: rights, sources of harm and well-being, work, family, violence and political process and participation. Particular attention is paid throughout to the relationship between cultural practices and legal rights. The volume also highlights the conceptual and the political development of rights claims and rights regimes for women and sexual minorities. The essays therefore focus not only on the theoretical justifications for rights but also on the contextual complexities of their enactment, implementation, enforcement and consequences.
