This book analyses contemporary trends in radical unionism in Europe. It contains nine country case-studies that probe the limits and possibilities of trade union renewal with a focus on radical activity. The editors follow a broad definition of radical unionism, including trade union organisations that can be characterised as radical either in terms of ideology and political identity or in terms of organising and mobilising activity. The ongoing economic crisis and consequent austerity measures, and employers' strategies for increasing labour market flexibility have encouraged the deregulation of capitalism in Europe. The question this book asks is whether radicalised unionism, political action and grassroots activism present opportunities for union renewal and collective interest representation in this economic context. This question is examined in nine national contexts with diverse industrial relations frameworks and trade unions. The editors assess the degree to which we are withnessing the emergence of "radical political unionism" as an alternative model of trade unionism in Europe, focused on class struggle, engagement in social movement activity beyond the workplace, and politicised union strategies aligned to new left-wing political formations.

This edited book presents international perspectives on the role of mental health problems in understanding and managing the risk of violent extremism. The chapters included in this book address two themes. First, they describe the research findings on the nature and prevalence of the range of mental health problems (psychosis, personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, autism spectrum disorders) in young people and adults who have in the past, committed acts of violence motivated at least in part by extremist ideologies, or who have attempted or threatened such acts, or who for other reasons are thought to be at risk of doing so. Second, the chapters examine what is known about the relationship – or the functional link – between mental health problems and violent extremism. The focus of this book is on clinical practice and understanding the nature of the challenge faced by practitioners and their response to it. It will therefore be of interest to mental health practitioners, service managers and commissioners, and policy makers with a remit to understand and mitigate risk of radicalisation and violent extremism.

"« Le féminisme n’a jamais tué personne ». Cette phrase est brandie depuis des décennies par le discours féministe majoritaire. Comme si les féministes cherchaient à rassurer un patriarcat pétri d’angoisse, ou à appuyer l’idée – déjà bien répandue – qu’une femme ne peut pas faire peur, qu’une femme ne peut pas être dangereuse. Mais est-il vrai que le féminisme n’a jamais tué personne ? Elles s’appellent Maria, Noura, Judith, Diana, Christabel. Elles ont fait usage de la violence contre le patriarcat. Elles ont touché au grand tabou. Pour nourrir une réflexion sur la place de la violence dans la lutte contre le patriarcat, Irene nous raconte l'histoire de ces femmes violentes." --

"Guerres, attentats, violences de masse, mouvements de révolte sociale...l'actualité nationale et internationale est fortement marquée par des manifestations de violences politiques, parfois extrêmes, dans un contexte de transformations profondes de l'ordre mondial. Pour comprendre ces phénomènes et les mettre à distance, cet ouvrage propose une grille de lecture des violences politiques en convoquant les apports de la sociologie politique, de l'anthropologie, de l'histoire, des relations internationales et de la psychologie sociale. Il repose sur trois ambitions. La première est académique et cherche à identifier les grands débats théoriques sur le déclenchement et l'irruption des violences politiques. La deuxième est descriptive, passant en revue la variété des formes de la violence, allant du terrorisme à la guerre en passant par les révoltes de rue ou les massacres collectifs. La dernière est analytique et interroge les logiques de l'engagement individuelet collectif ainsi que celles de la sortie de la violence." (ed.).
