Bristande jämställdhet mellan kvinnor och män och könsdiskriminerande praktiker har över tid fått alltmer uppmärksamhet. Kraven och förväntningarna på världens stater, inte minst de relativt sett så jämställda nordiska länderna, att åtgärda problemen är stora. Lagstiftning är ett medel som staterna har till sitt förfogande. Rättens betydelse, dess möjligheter och tillkortakommanden i relation till ojämställdhet och diskriminerande praktiker är temat för denna antologi. I nitton artiklar av danska, finska, norska och svenska forskare verksamma inom fältet kjønn og rett, diskuteras sambandet mellan kön och rätt under fyra aktuella teman, alla med förändring i fokus. De tre första rör förändringar i samhället och i rätten, såsom i förståelsen av kön och dess betydelse för rätten till jämställdhet och ickediskriminering, förändringar i välfärdsstaten och förändrade gränser mellan det offentliga och det privata. Det sista temat behandlar förändringar i forskningsfältet som sådant

Piracy has a long history and often arises from legitimization problems, which may cause problems in distinguishing pirates from non-pirates. Piracy can essentially be divided into three epochs: classical piracy, colonial piracy and modern piracy. Classical piracy lasted from 1492 to 1730 and was filling a proto-legal space when Protestants pirates defined the pope's authority, colonial piracy took place in the 18th and 19th century Mediterranean Sea, also backed by religious motives, and modern piracy is a phenomenon of the 21st century where the pirates utilize instable regions for their benefit. Legal, normative and conceptual definitions can be used to differentiate between pirates and non-pirates. L. Pitkaniemi

After the Liberian war ended in 2003, national and international actors have been unified behind the battle against sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). While Liberia is still suffering from general violence, SGBV is leading the dark statistics with a wide margin. The problem runs deep in the Liberian society and international actors have had a hard time changing the situation because they do not understand Liberian legal praxis and the local governments suffers from both lack of knowledge and structural problems. Despite meager results the project has been seen as a success. Rape was criminalized in 2005 and the United Nation's Security Council resolution 1325 was implemented, both significantly increasing the rights of women and children. L. Pitkaniemi
