Despite the historical and political similarities between Portugal and Spain, the contentious responses to austerity diverged in terms of number, rhythm and players.

While in Spain a sustained wave of mobilisation lasted for three years, involving various players and leading to a transformation of the party system, in Portugal social movements were only able to mobilise in specific instances, trade unions dominated protest and, by the end of

Abstract:

<Online Only>This book recounts the transformation of Europe from the interwar era until the euro crisis, using the tools of constitutional analysis and critical theory. The central claim is twofold: post-war Europe is reconstituted in a manner combining political authoritarianism and economic liberalism, producing an order which is now in a critical condition. The book begins in the interwar era, when liberalism, unable to deal with mass democracy and the social question, turns to authoritarianism in an attempt to suppress democracy, with disastrous consequences in Weimar and elsewhere.

This chapter argues that for an analysis of European law, a comparative public law approach is necessary. It contends that European law calls for a broader reach when compared with the traditional private-law orientation of international law. European law began with a strong orientation towards public law, and this encompassed comparative public law. Moreover, the chapter shows how this approach can address the structural transformations of public law and authority in Europe.

The UK’s most recent round of welfare reforms since 2010 have had far-reaching effects, leading to greater poverty, homelessness, indebtedness and foodbank use. But until well into the 2010s they were very popular with the public, who increasingly felt that welfare claimants did not deserve help. These changes were not matched in other European countries experiencing similar economic and social trends. Focusing on policies that provide relief from unemployment, poverty and disability, in this book Tom O’Grady sets out to answer two questions: why has Britain reformed its welfare system so radi

That is, that changes in international prices—the global oil price shock—induced a crisis. Then a new form of developmentalism evolved which opportunistically took advantage of another change in global prices—national exchange rates vis-à-vis the US dollar and yen, and

Abstract This monograph deals with the law and regulation of debt capital markets.

The central argument proposed in this book is that instability in financial markets—culminating with the global financial crisis of 2008 and resurfacing with urgency in 2020—is the offspring of a process of transformation that started in the 1980s. The analysis in this book proceeds by charting the evolution of debt capital markets and their growth propelled by undisputed belief in ne

More than 1.5 million people perished as a result, a quarter of Soviet Kazakhstan’s population, and the crisis transformed a territory the size of continental Europe. Drawing upon a wide range of sources in Russian and in Kazakh, the book brings this largely unknown story to light, revealing its devastating consequences for Kazakh societ

The future of democratic governance in view of the climate crisis is thus seen to depend on the viability of the environmental democratic challenge.

Populism and party politics are often studied separately, yet neither can be understood in isolation from the other. Any explanation for the rise of populism must inevitably address the deficiencies of party-based modes of political representation for which populism claims to offer a corrective. Indeed, populism thrives where mainstream parties are in crisis, or at least where they exclude or ignore major currents of opinion in the body politic. The study of populism, therefore, must be situated in the larger domain of political representation, and it is necessarily intertwined with the study

Abstract:

This work aims to present a comprehensive overview of the state of the legal-political protection of animals in Colombia. The Colombian State is going through a period of institutional and socio-legal transformation. The once widespread model of the relationship between the legal system and animals as things or simple elements of the environment is being re-evaluated and a whole number of problems arise which must be addressed from new approaches and perspectives. This book focuses on topics such as crimes and misdemeanors, the use of animals for human consumption, animal used on research and

Abstract:

The rise of post-truth politics marks the most serious crisis of Western liberal democracy since the end of the Cold War. The decline of trust in expert knowledge and mainstream media, the rise of social media devoid of a gatekeeping function and the growth of covert external interference in electoral processes have led to fragmentation, polarization and destabilization of Western democratic systems. What makes post-truth politics so difficult to resist is its apparently democratic character that claims to challenge bureaucratic depoliticization, the rule of experts and the disappearance of al

Abstract:

In 1909, while still in South Africa, Gandhi publicly decried the caste system for its inequalities. Shortly after his return to India though, he spoke of the generally beneficial aspects of caste. Gandhi’s writings on caste reflect contradictory views and his critics accuse him of neglecting the unequal socio-economic structure that relegated Dalits to the bottom of the caste hierarchy. So, did Gandhi endorse the fourfold division of the Indian society or was he truly against caste? In this book, Nishikant Kolge investigates the entire range of what Gandhi said or wrote about caste divisions

Abstract:

<p>Has the time come for a thorough recomposition of working conditions? The health crisis and the successive measures to deal with it highlight the role of social, spatial, and temporal boundaries in the organisation of the economy, calling into question the functioning of democratic systems. The depth of inequality is now blatantly apparent, but also the vital importance of certain jobs that are often undervalued. Although the picture is bleak, the experiences of labour transformation help to focus the attention on what is most important: a real liberation of work that requires a colle

Abstract:

How did Catholic colleges and universities deal with the modernization of education and the rise of research universities? In this book, Philip Gleason offers the first comprehensive study of Catholic higher education in the twentieth century, tracing the evolution of responses to an increasingly secular educational system. At the beginning of the century, Catholics accepted modernization in the organizational sphere while resisting it ideologically. Convinced of the truth of their religious and intellectual position, the restructured Catholic colleges grew rapidly after World War I, committed

Abstract:

This volume surveys the burst of political imagination that created multiple Enlightenment cultures in an era widely understood as an age of democratic revolutions. Enlightenment as precursor to liberal democratic modernity was once secular catechism for generations of readers. Yet democracy did not elicit much enthusiasm among contemporaries, while democracy as a political system remained virtually nonexistent through much of the period. If seventeenthand eighteenth-century ideas did underwrite the democracies of succeeding centuries, they were often inheritances from monarchical governments

Abstract:

Historically, governments in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have accumulated extensive assets. In recent decades, austerity and cost-cutting needs, sustainability agendas, the changing role of the State, information and communication technologies, public management reforms, and increasing knowledge sharing, have significantly changed the management practices of public buildings, movable property, land, forests, cultural heritage, and other nonfinancial public assets. Unfortunately, LAC societies have not reaped the many potential benefits that nonfinancial public assets could generate.

In the two decades since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) went into effect, Mexico has seen an epidemic of diet-related illness. While globalization has been associated with an increase in chronic disease around the world, in Mexico, the speed and scope of the rise has been called a public health emergency. The shift in Mexican foodways is happening at a moment when the country’s ancestral cuisine is now more popular and appreciated around the world than ever. What does it mean for their health and well-being when many Mexicans eat fewer tortillas and more instant noodles, while

Abstract:

This book explores the complex interrelationships between food and agriculture, politics, and society. More specifically, it considers the political aspects of three basic economic questions: what is to be produced? how is it to be produced? how it is to be distributed? It also outlines three unifying themes running through the politics of answering these societal questions with regard to food, namely: ecology, technology and property. Furthermore, the book examines the tendency to address the new organization of global civil society around food, its production, distribution, and consequences
