Europeanization implies that policies are to be shaped by considerations which go beyond the formal sovereignty of EU's member states. Claims for autonomy within the EU have been put forward not only by 'stateless' nations within plural and compound states, but also by regions demanding self-government. More often than not, meso-governments do not need par force the rationalising intervention of state central bureaucracies and elites. Autonomous regions enjoy additional economic and political security offered by the European Union and are gradually accommodated in a post-sovereignty era of progressive trans-nationalization. This chapter elaborates on the idea of multi-level citizenship as a 'civility compound' of collective attachments which favours regional territorial autonomy. Multiple identities expressed by Europeans are inserted in a variable continuum of territorial belongings and affinities grounded in values of human rights and solidarity. Both civil and political rights are being increasingly accomplished at the regional level of EU's member states. The exercise of civil and political rights has 'spilt over' into social citizenship. Attention is paid to the aspirations of regions and sub-state layers of governance to carry out welfare expansion based upon arguments of optimality, accountability, legitimacy, partnership and recalibration. ; Peer reviewed

IT IS IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP A POLITICALLY EFFECTIVE, CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON IDENTITY POLITICS. COMMON SENSE SUGGESTS THAT IDENTITY POLITICS, MOST CLEARLY EVIDENCED IN POLITICAL MOBILIZATIONS AROUND RACE, ARE PART OF A FUNDAMENTAL ATTACK ON THE CORE VALUES OF OUR POLITICAL CUTURE.

The article examines the phenomenon of the identity of the perpetrator of a crime in the mechanism of individualization of criminal punishment. It is pointed out that although the criminal act acts as the main dimension of the indentity of the perpetrator of a crime, it is of fundamental importance in the punishment individualization mechanism to take into account the individual diversity inherent in any perpetrator's personality that may be reflected in the crime or not characterize it.

"In 1911, the publication of Franz Boas's The Mind of Primitive Man challenged widely held claims about race and intelligence that justified violence and inequality. Now, a group of leading scholars examines how this groundbreaking work hinged on relationships with a global circle of Indigenous thinkers who used Boasian anthropology as a medium for their ideas. Contributors also examine how Boasian thought intersected with the work of major modernist figures, demonstrating how ideas of diversity and indentity sprang from colonization and empire."--
