Fundamental societal changes in the globalising European countryside impact women's migration decisions. The chapters in this volume represent diverse attempts to explain women's movements from rural areas, taking prevailing labour market conditions as well as gender relations into account. Utilising empirical findings from countries including Austria, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Spain, this collection particularly aims to build bridges between research following the 'cultural turn' and functionalist explanations which refer to material and practiced ruralities. The international range of contributors to Women and Migration in Rural Europe focus on societal constructions of gender and rurality, and in doing so, address various female perspectives on rural life. The analysis of the different working and living conditions in different parts of rural Europe reveals distinct obstacles but also prospects for young women. Importantly, the book includes policy implications with respect to the challenges of demographic change, questions of gender equality and women's contribution to rural development.
"Edmund Burke, long considered modern conservatism's founding father, is also widely believed to be an opponent of empire. However, Daniel O'Neill turns that latter belief on its head. This fresh and innovative book shows that Burke was a passionate supporter and staunch defender of the British Empire in the eighteenth century, whether in the New World, India, or Ireland. Moreover--and against a growing body of contemporary scholarship that rejects the very notion that Burke was an exemplar of conservatism--O'Neill demonstrates that Burke's defense of empire was in fact ideologically consistent with his conservative opposition to the French Revolution. Burke's logic of empire relied on two opposing but complementary theoretical strategies: Ornamentalism, which stressed cultural similarities between "civilized" societies, as he understood them, and Orientalism, which stressed the putative cultural differences distinguishing "savage" societies from their "civilized" counterparts. This incisive book also shows that Burke's argument had lasting implications, as his development of these two justifications for empire prefigured later intellectual defenses of British imperialism"--Provided by publisher
"This book follows transnational Mexicans as they experience the alienation and unpredictability of deportation, tracing the particular ways that U.S. immigration policies and state removals affect families. Deportation--an emergent global order of social injustice--reaches far beyond the individual deportee, as family members with diverse U.S. immigration statuses, including U.S. citizens, also return after deportation or migrate for the first time. RETURNED tells the story of the chaos, and design, of deportation and its aftermath."--Provided by publisher

Taking analogy as both its mode and object of inquiry, this Article canvasses the relationship between historical-geographical analogies and generational segregation (the large-scale separation of children and adults) from three complementary perspectives. First, due to restrictions recently introduced by the Israeli authorities, Palestinian prisoners have been prevented from reading popular study materials dealing with both Indigenous child removal and analogies concerning settler-Indigenous relations in North America and Australia. Reviving the critical potential of this encounter with analogies and accounts, I put forward an analogy between the removal of Indigenous children to boarding schools in the United States and Canada, Australia's Aboriginal "stolen generations", and the increased separation of Palestinian children and adults themselves in Israeli custody. This analogy highlights key parallels: the deleterious effects of allegedly benevolent generational segregation; the invocation of law and children's "best interests"; the severance of unwanted intergenerational influences; the targeting of children due to their presumed plasticity; the use of separation to govern adults; and links between generational segregation, "national security", and incarceration. Second, these analogies – those Palestinians explored in Israeli prison and the generational segregation analogy developed here – partly overlap with, and acquire their potential and implications from other analogies, concerning settler-Indigenous relations in North America, Australia, and Israel/Palestine. I examine the roles such analogies have played, and their alignment with competing ideologies, across a range of legal and political discourses over the past two centuries. Finally, in order to maximize the critical potential of such historical-geographical analogies, I offer a conceptual critique of three relevant discourses: legalistic analogies concerning generational segregation, which leave unchallenged the broader field of child law and policy on which such segregation hinges; analogies between North America, Australia, and Israel/Palestine that rigidly conceptualize (settler) colonialism; and a tendency to reduce analogy to similarity. Bringing into conversation previously separate bodies of scholarship, these three interdependent perspectives shed new light on important yet hitherto unexamined issues at the intersection of analogy and generational segregation.

Reino Unido, C-308/14 se confirma la tendencia a restringir el acceso de ciudadanos comunitarios desplazados "económicamente inactivos" a prestaciones sociales, en este caso, a prestacionesde Seguridad Social, al exigir derecho legal de residencia conforme a la Directiva 2004/38/CE. La Comisión Europea se suma a esta tendencia, al haber acogido y hecho suyo el fallo de esta sentencia, tal y como se refleja en su Comunicación de 13 de diciembre ce 2016 por la que propone modificar la normativa europea de coordinación de los sistemas de Seguridad Social. ; The judgment of the CJUE of June 14, 2016, Commission v. United Kingdom, C-308/14 confirms the limitations concernings access to social benefits (in this case, social security benefefits) for "economically inactive" EU mobile citizens, by requiring legal residence Directive 2004/38/EC. The European Commission joins this trend, having accepted and endorsed the judgment of this judgment, as reflected in its Proposal of December 13, 2016 for a amending regulations on the coordination of Social Security systems. ; Consejo Andaluz de Relaciones Laborales (CARL) ; Junta de Andalucía.

International audience ; What do the borders of the European Union (EU) to its limits? The first part of this study shows how the EU presents scalable borders. The second part analyzes the issue of state candidates, so possible future enlargements which would mean a further decline in EU borders. Finally, examination of what the migration borders can be called will deepen the EU's geopolitical reality. ; Que nous apprennent les frontières de l'Union européenne (UE) de ses limites ? La première partie de cette étude montre combien l'UE présente des frontières évolutives. La deuxième partie analyse la question des candidats étatiques, donc des éventuels élargissements futurs qui signifieraient une nouveau recul des frontières de l'UE. Enfin, l'examen de ce que l'on peut appeler les frontières migratoires permet d'approfondir la réalité géopolitique de l'UE.
BackgroundPolicymakers and researchers seek answers to how liberalized drug policies affect people who inject drugs (PWID). In response to concerns about the failing "war on drugs," Mexico recently implemented drug policy reforms that partially decriminalized possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use while promoting drug treatment. Recognizing important epidemiologic, policy, and socioeconomic differences between the United States-where possession of any psychoactive drugs without a prescription remains illegal-and Mexico-where possession of small quantities for personal use was partially decriminalized, we sought to assess changes over time in knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and infectious disease profiles among PWID in the adjacent border cities of San Diego, CA, USA, and Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.MethodsBased on extensive binational experience and collaboration, from 2012-2014 we initiated two parallel, prospective, mixed methods studies: Proyecto El Cuete IV in Tijuana (n = 785) and the STAHR II Study in San Diego (n = 575). Methods for sampling, recruitment, and data collection were designed to be compatible in both studies. All participants completed quantitative behavioral and geographic assessments and serological testing (HIV in both studies; hepatitis C virus and tuberculosis in STAHR II) at baseline and four semi-annual follow-up visits. Between follow-up assessment visits, subsets of participants completed qualitative interviews to explore contextual factors relating to study aims and other emergent phenomena. Planned analyses include descriptive and inferential statistics for quantitative data, content analysis and other mixed-methods approaches for qualitative data, and phylogenetic analysis of HIV-positive samples to understand cross-border transmission dynamics.ResultsInvestigators and research staff shared preliminary findings across studies to provide feedback on instruments and insights regarding local phenomena. As a result, recruitment and data collection procedures have been implemented successfully, demonstrating the importance of binational collaboration in evaluating the impact of structural-level drug policy reforms on the behaviors, health, and wellbeing of PWID across an international border.ConclusionsOur prospective, mixed methods approach allows each study to be responsive to emerging phenomena within local contexts while regular collaboration promotes sharing insights across studies. The strengths and limitations of this approach may serve as a guide for other evaluations of harm reduction policies internationally.
