Autonomy and Dependence in the Family Turkey and Sweden in Critical Perspective

Autonomy and Dependence in the Family Turkey and Sweden in Critical Perspective

What are the future prospects of the modern family? For a long time the common image in the West has been to see the nuclear family consisting of two economically independent spouses and their children as the natural outcome of the modernization process. As the hierarchies of patriarchal society vanish a social order based on equal and autonomous individuals all set for self-realisation has been assumed. However high rates of divorce often reported domestic violence teenagers left on their own at an early age do not harmonize very well with this idealized image. Critical analysis of family order in two countries at the opposite edges of the European continent - Turkey and Sweden - approaches these problems and attempts to create a more realistic picture of family life in the modern world. | Autonomy and Dependence in the Family Turkey and Sweden in Critical Perspective

Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America

Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America

From the 1980s through the 1990s children in many areas of the world benefited from new opportunities to attend school but they also faced new demands to support their families because of continuing and for many worsening poverty. Children's Work Schooling And Welfare In Latin America is a comparative study of children ages 12-17 in three different Latin American societies. Using nationally-representative household surveys from Chile Peru and Mexico and repeatedly over different survey years David Post documents tendencies for children to become economically active to remain in school or to do both. The survey data analyzed illustrates the roles of family and regional poverty and parental resources in determining what children did with their time in each country. However rather than to treat children's activities merely as demographic phenomena or in isolation of the policy environment Post also scrutinizes the international differences in education policies labor law welfare spending and mobilization for children's rights. Children's Work shows that child labor will not vanish of its own accord nor follow a uniform path even within a common geographic region. Accordingly there is a role for welfare policy and for popular mobilization. Post indicates that even when children attend school as in Peru or Mexico many students will continue to work to support the family. If the consequence of their work is to impede their educational success then schools will need to attend to a new dimension of inequality: that between part-time and full-time students.

Catalonia: A New Independent State in Europe? A Debate on Secession within the European Union

Catalonia: A New Independent State in Europe? A Debate on Secession within the European Union

Catalonia: A New Independent State in Europe examines the main issues of the political process which is taking place in Catalonia today. The political confrontation between the Spanish and Catalan institutions has now reached the international arena especially the debates concerning international recognition of a new Catalan state and its membership of the European Union (EU) and other international institutions. There are no precedents for the secession of a region from an EU member country that could be applied to the case of Catalonia. Therefore it is not surprising that the world has many unanswered question about the process. This volume aims to provide answers to many of these questions in a systematic and rigorous way. Why has the political scenario in Catalonia changed so radically and so rapidly? Is this new situation only temporary and support for independence is likely to vanish very soon? What role has the deep economic crisis in Catalonia and in Spain played in the process? Is a potential new Catalan state economically viable? Which are the main legal controversies about self-determination and independence between the Spanish and Catalan institutions? Would an independent Catalonia be a member of the EU? This book will be of great use to academics and students in the field of politics and international relations particularly those interested in European economic and political studies. It will also interest a wide segment of general readers interested in contemporary political issues. | Catalonia: A New Independent State in Europe? A Debate on Secession within the European Union
