"Contestations of Citizenship, Education, and Democracy in an Era of Global Change: Children and Youth in Diverse International Contexts considers the shifting social, political, economic, and educational structures shaping contemporary experiences, understandings, and practices of citizenship among children and youth in diverse international contexts. As such, this edited volume examines the meaning of citizenship in an era defined by monumental global change. Chapters from across both the Global South and Global North consider emerging formations of citizenship and citizen identities among children and youth in formal and non-formal education contexts, as well as the social and civic imaginaries and practices to which children and youth engage, both in and outside of schools. Rich empirical contributions from an international team of contributors call attention to the social, political, economic, and educational structures shaping the ways young people view citizenship and highlight the social and political agency of children and youth amidst increasing issues of polarization, climate change, conflict, migration, extremism, and authoritarianism. The volume ultimately identifies emergent forms of citizenship developing in formal and non-formal educational contexts, including those that unsettle the nation-state and democracy. Edited by a team of academics with backgrounds in education, citizenship, and youth studies, this book will appeal to scholars, researchers, and faculty who work across the broader field of youth civic engagement and democracy, well as international and comparative education and citizenship"

Since 1980, most elections in the United States have been marked by a "gender gap" in which women are more supportive of Democratic candidates than men by nearly ten percentage points. Women at the Polls finds that this gender gap is quite extensive as it exists in almost all demographic groups and as it is based on similar differences in the political attitudes of women and men over a wide array of issues. This suggests that women are becoming an important constituency in U.S. politics. ...

Esta obra enquadra-se nas comemorações do Ano Europeu da Igualdade de Oportunidade para Todos pela centralidade que confere à questão da igualdade e pelas reflexões que apresenta em torno da persistência dos fenómenos de discriminação em função de diversos factores, entre os quais o sexo e, a partir deles, da reprodução e manutenção das desigualdades sociais, nomeadamente as que afectam as relações entre homens e mulheres, na diversidade das respectivas identidades de pertença e de contextos de vivência, individuais e colectivas.

En France, neuf des réacteurs nucléaires de production d’électricité sont arrivés en fin de vie et sont en phase de démantèlement, afin de rendre leurs sites libres pour tous usages. En outre, sur les 58 réacteurs électronucléaires en fonctionnement, 48 devraient arriver en fin d’exploitation avant 2050. Cette situation est commune aux nations industrialisées exploitant l’énergie nucléaire : dans la seule Union européenne, il y en a 75, aux États-Unis, il y en a 29. Ces chantiers de démantèlement ont des caractéristiques qui les distinguent des autres chantiers de démolition. Ils contiennent des matières radioactives, dont l’exposition externe aux rayonnements, l’ingestion ou l’inhalation accidentelle pourraient constituer des dangers. Les phénomènes associés à la radioactivité sont des obstacles au travail des hommes et à la mise en oeuvre des procédés classiques de démolition. La radioprotection joue donc ici un rôle central. Des techniques, des appareils et des procédés spécifiques ont été mis au point par les opérateurs spécialisés, et, de ce point de vue, les équipes françaises ont développé un savoir-faire scientifique et technique reconnu internationalement. Les 8 et 9 octobre 2014, l’Académie des sciences a consacré un séminaire aux sciences et techniques du démantèlement des installations nucléaires, au cours duquel ont été débattus tous les aspects de ces disciplines : la caractérisation des sources de radioactivité, la radioprotection, la logistique, la physicochimie, la mécanique des milieux continus, les codes de calcul, la robotique, les retours d’expériences, la formation, la prospective et le cas des accidents graves… L’objet de cet ouvrage est de rendre compte de ces journées d’étude et de dresser un panorama des besoins et conditions du démantèlement, de recenser les phénomènes scientifiques clés, de décrire les recherches en cours et d’identifier celles à mener pour permettre le retour au libre usage des sites d’installations électronucléaires, tout en assurant la protection des travailleurs et du public pour le présent et pour l’avenir.

This volume offers a comprehensive description of the composition and behaviour of young adults, an explanation and critique of the study of youth engagement and a unique approach and methodology for appreciating how and why 'citizen now' engages in politics and democracy. It considers youth political participation from the perspective of young adults themselves - specifically, young adults who've organised around an issue of great concern to Millennials - their economic well-being.
