"Foreign Intervention and Violence Against Women" published on by Oxford University Press.

This book uses various theoretical perspectives to summarize what is known about the multiple causes of men's violence against women, and stresses the importance of identifying men's risk factors. The preliminary multivariate model identifies four content areas: macrosocietal; biological; gender role socialization; and relational factors to explain men's violence against women. Within these four content areas the editors develop thirteen preliminary hypotheses about the causes of men's violence against women, which are critiqued by the contributors in the subsequent chapters

'Kinderprostitution und Kindersextourismus sind Erscheinungsformen touristischer Aktivitäten, die weltweit ein Problem darstellen. Trotz internationaler Bemühungen zahlreicher Akteure ist es nur schwer in den Griff zu bekommen. Dieser Artikel hat zum Ziel, Hintergründe des Phänomens zu erläutern und Gegenmaßnahmen wie einen Verhaltenskodex für die Tourismuswirtschaft sowie seine praktische Umsetzung zu beleuchten und abschließend kritisch zu bewerten. Der Kodex ist ein wirksames Instrument, um Bewusstsein auf einer breiten Ebene, unter Einbeziehung der touristischen Herkunfts- und Zielländer herzustellen. Seine Stärke liegt in der Kooperation mit vielen Partnern. Defizite zeigen sich in der Kooperation zwischen Herkunfts- und Zielländern und insbesondere bei der Integration des Kodex, als freiwillige Selbstverpflichtung, in die Unternehmenspolitik von Reiseveranstaltern und anderen touristischen Serviceanbietern.'

This book presents a unique, feminist approach to sex dolls and sex robots, taking a critical look at the academic and business narratives that serve to rationalise them. As new forms of pornography (porn robots), this edited volume provides an urgent womens centred critique. The emergence of sex robots is situated within the wider context of the attack on womens rights and the relentless rise of techno-pornography. As an outgrowth of the industries of prostitution, pornography and child sex abuse, these objects offer new ways to dehumanise women and girls. While support for sex robots is positioned as progressive and emancipatory, the contributors in this volume argue they reduce women to consumable parts. They explore how law, the arts, ethics, economy, politics and culture are interconnected with harmful technological developments.
