Mit der aktuellen Diskussion um die Gleichstellung der Frau ist auch der Gleichberechtigungsartikel des Grundgesetzes in das Zentrum des Interesses gerückt. Nachdem die Vorschriften, die Frauen ausdrücklich benachteiligen, weitgehend aus der Rechtsordnung verschwunden sind, werden neue Probleme an ihn herangetragen, wie etwa die Frage nach der Zulässigkeit von Frauenquoten. Damit muß grundsätzlich geklärt werden, wie das Grundrecht „Männer und Frauen sind gleichberechtigt“ zu verstehen ist. Hierzu werden die Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts analysiert und die verschiedenen Phasen der Auslegung in der Literatur kritisch gewürdigt. Ein rechtsvergleichender Blick gilt der parallelen Diskussion in den USA. Die Autorin kommt mit Hilfe der klassischen Auslegungsmethode zu dem Ergebnis, daß der Gleichberechtigungssatz als gruppenbezogenes Dominierungsverbot zu verstehen ist. Die 1. Auflage der Untersuchung hat ein großes Echo in der Fachöffentlichkeit und darüber hinaus gefunden. Die 2. Auflage wurde um einen Nachtrag erweitert, der die Entwicklung seit dem Jahr 1991 verarbeitet und insbesondere die kürzlich vorgenommene Verfassungsänderung berücksichtigt.

Attaining the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of Gender Equality focuses on Sustainable Development Goal number five (SDG#5): ending all forms of discrimination against women and girls. Examining family businesses in Honduras, Australia, Austria, and Lebanon, each case study presents a unique perspective from their respective country, analysing how SDG#5 translates into empowering women and girls around the world.

The United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 Goals pledged by 193 nations in 2015 which would help engender an improved, fairer, and more sustainable world - one in which 'no one is left behind'. The SDGs are a call to action, to develop innovative solutions to the most complex, societal, and environmental global challenges. In Family Businesses on a Mission , series editors Naomi Birdthistle and Rob Hales bring together international case studies to illustrate how family businesses can attain the UN 2030 SDGs. Accessible to those working in the field beyond academia - such as family business practitioners, family business owners, government and policymakers, members of NGOs, business associations and philanthropic centres - this book series equally appeals to those with a general interest in entrepreneurship and business.

In 1949 the German constitution set down the entitlement to equality for men and women in the Federal Republic of Germany in article 3. Until the late 1950's it was up to men to decide where to live and how to utilize families' assets. Women were not permitted to decide on their participation in the labour market but had the duty to administer the household and help their husbands. When Angela Merkel became chancellor of Germany in 2005, she was not only one of the most influential politicians in the world but also one of the few female leaders who managed to break through the glass ceiling

The Nordic states were among the first in the world to enact general gender equality and anti-discrimination laws with low threshold enforcement mechanisms. Today, the Nordic countries top the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Index -but they have still not succeeded in closing the gender gap. This book draws a diverse and complex picture of the long, uneven, and unfinished process towards substantive equality in four Nordic countries: Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. It presents the Nordic gender equality model's systematic use of three measures: overarching gender policies, legislation that has an explicit or implicit impact on gender relations, and gender equality and anti-discrimination laws with low-threshold enforcement systems. What potentials and limitations do the Nordic gender equality and anti-discrimination law regimes have to combat individual discrimination and structural inequality? Can these regimes function as a driver of political, legal, economic, cultural, and social change and as a corrective to laws, policies, and practices that uphold existing inequalities and, if so, to what extent? Can weaknesses in the equality and anti-discrimination laws and the way they are enforced hamper efforts to close remaining gender gaps? Rather than looking at the Nordic gender equality laws and policies in isolation, the book situates their development and transformative potential within a changing European and international political and legal landscape.
