This study examines the kind of information 'informed' traders have prior to a takeover announcement using options of target firms and elaborates on the cross-sectional relationship between options and stocks around takeover announcements. Financial markets are driven by information and by individuals that generate, process, and disclose this information to the market. Naturally, there have to be individuals who possess more information about a firm or a future event than other market participants. Mergers and acquisitions are particularly interesting events in this regard because they can hav

While street prostitutes comprise only a small minority of sex workers, they have the highest rates of physicaland sexual abuse, arrest and incarceration, drug addiction, and stigmatization, which stem from both their public visibility and their dangerous work settings. Exiting the trade can be a daunting task for street prostitutes; despite this, many do try at some point to leave sex work behind. Focusing on four differentorganizations based in Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Hartford that help prostitutes get off the streets, Sharon S. Oselin’s Leaving Prostitution explores the difficulties, rewards, and public responses tofemale street prostitutes’ transition out of sex work.Through in-depth interviews and field research with street-level sex workers, Oselin illuminates their pathways into the trade and their experiences while in it, and the host of organizational, social, and individual factors that influence whether they are able to stop working as prostitutes altogether. She also speaks to staff atorganizations that aid street prostitutes, and assesses the techniques they use to help these women develop self-esteem, healthy relationships with family and community, and workplace skills. Oselin paints a full picture of the difficulties these women face in moving away from sex work and the approaches that do and do not work to help them transform their lives. Further, she offers recommendations to help improve the quality of life for these women. A powerful ethnographic account, Leaving Prostitution provides an essential understanding of getting out and staying out of sex work.

Schauspielerinnen als »Theaternutten«, Direktoren als »Zuhälter im Hausvaterrock« und Theater als »Fleischmarkt« - der Vergleich von Theater und Prostitution, Schauspielerin und Prostituierte zieht sich von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Über den Prostitutionsdiskurs werden Status der Schauspielerin, sinnlich-körperliche Wechselbeziehung von Zuschauenden und Darstellenden sowie ökonomische Bedingungen der Schauordnung Theater verhandelt. Melanie Hinz geht diesen Ökonomien des Begehrens in der Arbeit am Theater sowie im Verhältnis von Zuschauer und Schauspielerin anhand von historischen Texten um 1900, Theaterprogrammatiken von Brecht und Grotowski bis hin zu zeitgenössischen Performances von She She Pop und Jochen Roller nach und trägt damit zur Grundlegung einer genderkritischen Theaterwissenschaft bei.

Bishops were central figures in medieval society and the circumstances of their appointments are of great historical importance. This book considers the theory and practice of free canonical election in its heyday under Henry III and Edward I, and the nature of and reasons for the subsequent transition to papal provision. An analysis of the theoretical evidence for this subject (including canon law, royal pronouncements and Lawrence of Somercote's remarkable 1254 tract on episcopal elections) is combined with a consideration of the means by which bishops were created during the reigns of Henry

Prostitution und Menschenhandel sind Gegenstand vielfältiger staatlicher und zivilgesellschaftlicher Aktivitäten. Die individuellen Wahrnehmungs- und Handlungsmuster der Polizisten, Sozialarbeiter, Gesundheits- und Ordnungsbeamten sind dabei von entscheidender Bedeutung. In einer bisher einzigartigen Perspektivenverschränkung zeigt Claudia Vorheyer die Dynamik der Verwaltungsarbeit auf und fragt, wie die beteiligten Akteure ihre Handlungsspielräume für unterschiedliche Prostitutionspolitiken nutzen: Wie deuten sie das Problem? Welche Aufgaben und Strategien leiten sie daraus ab? Und wie gestalten sie die Zusammenarbeit mit Dritten? »Vorheyer liefert in ihrer Untersuchung wertvolle Erkenntnisse, die aufgrund ihrer Interdisziplinarität sowohl politikwissenschaftliche, verwaltungswissenschaftliche als auch soziologische Relevanz haben, an fachspezifische Diskussionen anknüpfen sowie Anregungen für weiterführende Forschung geben.« Eva Buchholz, www.querelles-net.de, 1 (2012) »Die Studie leistet einen relevanten Beitrag zur verwaltungssoziologischen Forschung.« Maritza Le Breton, sozialersinn, 14/1 (2013)/www.socialnet.de, 16.10.2013 Besprochen in: www.pw-portal.de, 8 (2011), Marinke Gindullis

Winner of the 2014 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Asian women are often labelled with biased stereotypical images, ranging from “subordinate housewife” to “migrant domestic maid,” and “overseas bride.” Asian women, in fact, are being constructed as “women among women.” These feminine roles are related to the various activities that women perform for others in intimate relationships both within and outside the family. This book comprises contributions from a distinguished group of international researchers who examine the historical development of “new women' and “good wife, wise mother,” women’s roles in socialist and transitional modernity and the transnational migration of domestic and sex workers as well as wives.
