Abstract

Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) have been proliferating for more than two decades, with the negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and a Trans-Pacific Partnership being just the tip of the iceberg. This volume addresses some of the most pressing issues related to the surge of these agreements. It includes chapters written by leading political scientists, economists and lawyers which theoretically and empirically advance our understanding of trade agreements. The key theme is that PTAs vary widely in terms of design. The authors provide explanations as to why we see these differences in design and whether and how these differences matter in practice. The tools for understanding the purposes and effects of PTAs that are offered will guide future research and inform practitioners and trade policy experts about progress in the scientific enquiry into PTAs.

Abstract

Winner of the 2010 Pacific Sociological Association Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship AwardA lesbian couple rears a child together and, after the biological mother dies, the surviving partner loses custody to the child’s estranged biological father. Four days later, in a different court, judges rule on the side of the partner, because they feel the child relied on the woman as a “psychological parent.” What accounts for this inconsistency regarding gay and lesbian adoption and custody cases, and why has family law failed to address them in a comprehensive manner?In Courting Change, Kimberly D. Richman zeros in on the nebulous realm of family law, one of the most indeterminate and discretionary areas of American law. She focuses on judicial decisions—both the outcomes and the rationales—and what they say about family, rights, sexual orientation, and who qualifies as a parent. Richman challenges prevailing notions that gay and lesbian parents and families are hurt by laws’ indeterminacy, arguing that, because family law is so loosely defined, it allows for the flexibility needed to respond to—and even facilitate — changes in how we conceive of family, parenting, and the role of sexual orientation in family law.Drawing on every recorded judicial decision in gay and lesbian adoption and custody cases over the last fifty years, and on interviews with parents, lawyers, and judges, Richman demonstrates how parental and sexual identities are formed and interpreted in law, and how gay and lesbian parents can harness indeterminacy to transform family law.

Abstract

In 1964, Life magazine called Madalyn Murray O'Hair "the most hated woman in America." Another critic described her as "rude, impertinent, blasphemous, a destroyer not only of beliefs but of esteemed values.". In this first full-length biography, Bryan F. Le Beau offers a penetrating assessment of O'Hair's beliefs and actions and a probing discussion of how she came to represent both what Americans hated in their enemies and feared in themselves. Born in 1919, O'Hair was a divorced mother of two children born out of wedlock. She launched a crusade against God, often using foul language as she

Abstract

Bildungsgerechtigkeit, Leistungsentwicklung und Begabungsförderung sind drängende Herausforderungen für das deutsche Bildungssystem, wie nationale und internationale Vergleichsstudien (TIMSS, IGLU, PISA) zeigen. Es ist erforderlich, dass benachteiligte und talentierte Kinder auf ihren jeweiligen Kompetenzstufen gezielte Unterstützung und individuelle Förderung erfahren. Das Herausfordern und Fördern von Begabungen und Talenten soll dazu beitragen, dass offensichtliche wie verborgene Potenziale bei Kindern aus sozial benachteiligten Lagen sowie bei Kindern mit Beeinträchtigungen entwickelt und entfaltet werden können. Vom 19. bis 22. September 2018 widmete sich der 6. Münstersche Bildungskongress mit dem Thema "Begabungsförderung, Leistungsentwicklung, Bildungsgerechtigkeit - für alle!" ebendiesen Chancen und Herausforderungen mit dem Ziel, die Begabungsförderung und Potenzialentwicklung in die Mitte der Gesellschaft zu rücken und so mehr Bildungsgerechtigkeit zu schaffen. Mit über 130 Beiträgen haben Wissenschaftler*innen und Praktiker*innen neue Impulse gesetzt, Themen diskutiert und neue Ansätze vorgetragen. Dank der interessanten Beiträge und anregenden Gespräche wurde der 6. Münstersche Bildungskongress zu einem anspruchsvollen Format wissenschaftlichen Austausches und interdisziplinären Gesprächs. Viele der vorgetragenen und diskutierten Beiträge werden hier zusammengefasst. Dieser zweite Band umfasst Beiträge aus der Begabungsförderung aus der fachspezifischen und fachübergreifenden schulischen sowie außerschulischen Praxis. Zusätzlich finden sich in diesem Band auch Beiträge aus dem Verbundprojekt "Leistung macht Schule" (LemaS), dessen 1. Jahrestagung in den Kongress eingebunden wurde und diesen durch Beiträge bereichert hat, sowie Beiträge zu internationalen Perspektiven in der Begabungsförderung. Es wird nicht nur auf aktuelle Bildungsfragen hingewiesen oder ihre Wichtigkeit herausgestellt, sondern in aller Regel werden auch Vorschläge und Anregungen für die schulische und unterrichtliche Praxis geliefert, u.a.: Wie lässt sich Bildungsgerechtigkeit besser verwirklichen; wie lässt sich eine individuelle Förderung durch Personalisierung erreichen; wie lässt sich der Übergang Kita/Grundschule anschlussfähig gestalten? [...] Anregend und hilfreich. - Peter Jansen, in: Schulmagazin 5-10, 1/2021 89. Jahrgang, S. 57.

Abstract

Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2002. Community organizing became an integral part of the activist repertoire of the New Left in the 1960's. Students for a Democratic Society, the organization that came to be seen as synonymous with the white New Left, began community organizing in 1963, hoping to build an interracial movement of the poor through which to demand social and political change. SDS sought nothing less than to abolish poverty and extend democratic participation in America. Over the next five years, organizers established a strong presence in numerous low-income, racially diverse

Abstract

This study examines Defoe’s three-volume Robinson Crusoe series in the light of the ‘banter’ style he developed as a pamphleteer. That heavily ironic style had brought him renown but also put him in the pillory. The present study explores for the first time Defoe’s complaint that readers and pirate abridgers misread his tale of the would-be trader Robinson Crusoe . Using Discourse Analysis and Relevance Theory to examine the early abridgements of Volume I and Defoe’s subsequent two volumes, this study argues that Defoe’s greatest success is also a peculiar failure.

Abstract

What impact has deconstruction had on the way we read American culture? And how is American culture itself peculiarly deconstructive? To address these questions, this volume brings together some of the most provocative thinkers associated with deconstruction, among them Jacques Derrida, Judith Butler, and Avital Ronnel. Ranging across a wide field, from the ethics of reading to the rhetoric of performance, the contributors offer provocative insights into a new sense of the political. The America of the volume's title turns out to be the place where the politics and poetics of responsibility meet. It is also the place where we confront the tension between difference and profound otherness.
