"The Routledge Handbook of British Politics and Society conducts a rigorous, innovative and distinctive analysis of the relationship between British politics and society, emphasizing that the UK is now far from a monolithic, and unshifting, entity. Examining the subject matter with unrivalled breadth and depth, it highlights and interrogates key contemporary debates on the future of the UK, the nature of 'Britishness', and the merits of multiculturalism, as well as contemporary criticisms of traditional institutions and the nature of representative democracy itself. Including contributions from key authors in their respective fields who bring their authority to bear on the task of outlining the current state of the art in British Studies, the book provides a fresh examination of the contrasts and the continuities across the whole field British Politics and Society, while setting out agendas for future research. The Routledge Handbook of British Politics and Society will be essential reading and an authoritative reference for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners involved in, and actively concerned about, research on British politics, society and culture"--

"The onslaught of neoliberalism, austerity measures and cuts, impact of climate change, protracted conflicts and ongoing refugee crisis, rise of far right and populist movements have all negatively impacted on disability. Yet, disabled people and their allies are fighting back and we urgently need to understand how, where and what they are doing, what they feel their challenges are and what their future needs will be. This comprehensive handbook emphasizes the importance of everyday disability activism and how activists across the world bring together a wide range of activism tactics and strategies. It also challenges the activist movements, transnational and emancipatory politics, as well as providing future directions for disability activism. With contributions from senior and emerging disability activists, academics, students and practitioners from around the globe, this handbook covers the following broad themes: Contextualising disability activism in global activism Neoliberalism and austerity in the global North Rights, embodied resistance and disability activism Belonging, identity and values: how to create diverse coalitions for rights Reclaiming social positions, places and spaces Social media, support and activism Campus activism in higher education Inclusive pedagogies, evidence and activist practices Enabling human rights and policy Challenges facing disability activism The Routledge Handbook of Disability Activism provides disability activists, students, academics, practitioners, development partners and policy makers with an authoritative framework for disability activism"--

This book critically reviews state-religion models and the ways in which different countries manage religious diversity, illuminating different responses to the challenges encountered in accommodating both majorities and minorities. The country cases encompass eight world regions and 23 countries, offering a wealth of research material suitable to support comparative research. Each case is analysed in depth looking at historical trends, current practices, policies, legal norms and institutions. By looking into state-religion relations and governance of religious diversity in regions beyond Europe, we gain insights into predominantly Muslim countries (Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia), countries with pronounced historical religious diversity (India and Lebanon) and into a predominantly migrant pluralist nation (Australia). These insights can provide a basis for re-thinking European models and learning from experiences of governing religious diversity in other socio-economic and geopolitical contexts. Key analytical and comparative reflections inform the introduction and concluding chapters. This volume offers a research and study companion to better understand the connection between state-religion relations and the governance of religious diversity in order to inform both policy and research efforts in accommodating religious diversity. Given its accessible language and further readings provided in each chapter, the volume is ideally suited for undergraduate and graduate students. It will also be a valuable resource for researchers working in the wider field of ethnic, migration, religion and citizenship studies.

Notre époque est indiscutablement caractérisée par la prégnance de l?économisme dans ses multiples facettes. Face au triomphe de la loi du marché, le juriste ne peut plus rester indifférent à la rationalité économique d?ensemble. Il est amené, dans son agir quotidien, à se frotter de gré ou de force, à l?impératif économique, notamment par le biais de la structure de la société dans laquelle il évolue, de la réglementation des pans entiers de la vie publique ou privée de son espace du possible ou, encore, de sa pratique relative au domaine des affaires et des investissements, surtout à la suite des défis que pose l?invasion des nouvelles technologies à l?ère actuelle.00Il est donc devenu indispensable de réfléchir, au-delà du cadre théorique que constitue l?Économie du droit en tant que discipline scientifique relativement jeune voire peu connue des milieux de praticiens, sur les grands axes de raisonnement qui jettent, d?une manière ou d?une autre des ponts entiers entre ces deux horizons du savoir : le droit et l?économie. En effet, dans quelle mesure serait-il possible à un juriste de mobiliser les ressources économiques de sa pratique courante et, inversement, comment la science économique peut-elle s?appuyer sur le droit, pour rendre compte de ses postulats matriciels ainsi que de la conception du monde en cours d?expérimentation à l?aune de la mondialisation en vogue ?00C?est le renouvellement du questionnement sur le destin commun de ces deux branches dans leurs rapports réciproquement circulaires, à la suite de la transformation du paysage juridique moderne suivi de sa remise en cause dans le contexte contemporain, sous l?effet de la montée en puissance de la rhétorique économique, qui constitue le prétexte à l?origine de diverses contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage dont la principale raison d?être consiste à rendre hommage au doyen Grégoire Bakandeja pour sa carrière universitaire marquée par le va-et-vient entre le droit et l?économie et vice-versa

"The word 'diaspora' has leapt from its previously confined use - mainly concerned with the dispersion of Jews, Greeks, Armenians and Africans away from their natal homelands - to cover the cases of many other ethnic groups, nationalities and religions. But this 'horizontal' scattering of the word to cover the mobility of many groups to many destinations, has been paralleled also by 'vertical' leaps, with the word diaspora being deployed to cover more and more phenomena and serve more and more objectives of different actors. With sections on 'debating the concept', 'complexity', 'home and home-making', 'connections' and 'critiques', the Routledge Handbook of Diaspora Studies is likely to remain an authoritative reference for some time. Each contribution includes a targeted list of references for further reading. The editors have carefully blended established scholars of diaspora with younger scholars looking at how diasporas are constructed 'from below'. The adoption of a variety of conceptual perspectives allows for generalization, contrasts and comparisons between cases. In this exciting and authoritative collection over 40 scholars from many countries have explored the evolving use of the concept of diaspora, its possibilities as well as its limitations. This Handbook will be indispensable for students undertaking essays, debates and dissertations in the field"--
