"Neoliberale Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftsmodelle versprechen Gleichheit und flexible Lebensgestaltungsmöglichkeiten: Nur die Leistung zählt, nicht das Geschlecht, die soziale Herkunft oder die Hautfarbe. Im Fokus der internationalen Konferenz, veranstaltet am 6. und 7. November 2012 an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum, stand das Spannungsverhältnis von Macht, Wandel und politischen Handlungsmöglichkeiten. Diskutiert wurden die Widersprüche und Fallstricke aktueller politischer Entwicklungen im Hinblick auf soziale (Un-)Gleichheit aus einer sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektive." (Autorenreferat)
Women education plays a very important role in the overall growth of the country. It does not only help in the development of half of the human capital but also improves the standard of living. The progress of the nation or region is shown by the level of education and literacy of its population. Education, particularly among women has been considered as one of the major aspects for socio-economic development of the people of a region. Belagavi district is among the rapidly developing districts in Karnataka with respect to socio-economic and agricultural development. According to 2011 census, average literacy rate of Belagavi district (73.48%) is lower than the average literacy rate of Karnataka state (75.60%).(Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India, 2011) This can be attributed to greater regional disparities throughout Belagavi district in literacy. In this paper, we present Provisional Population Totals of census 2001 and 2011 and examine the extent of literacy disparities at the taluk level. Here, we found that literacy rate in the study area was 64.21 % in 2001 which has increased to 73.48% in 2011. We also found that the urban literacy (85.56%) is significantly greater than the rural literacy (69.28%) which is concurrent to the wider gender disparities from the rural to the urban population.
This paper discusses the impact of gender on the Arabic language in the interpretation of religious texts according to Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, which relates to the jurisprudence of contemporary Muslim women in a gendered way through his contemporary reading of hermeneuticalism on the texts of the verses of the Qur'an, especially those related to the conditions of Muslim women in his book Circles of Fear: Reading in the Discourse of Women. The search results are that some of his gender views can be studied from his studies on the provisions of provisions relating to women registered in Surat Al-Nisaa, which the topic is about marriage, divorce, polygamy, inheritance, hijab and nakedness. He saw that the articles on women need to be analyzed because there is equality between men and women and gender equality is one of the purposes of legislation.

This book examines how gendered agency emerges in peacebuilding contexts. It develops a feminist critique of the international peacebuilding interventions, through a study of transitional justice policies and practices implemented in Bosnia & Herzegovina, and local activists' responses to official discourses surrounding them. Extending Nancy Fraser's tripartite model of justice to peacebuilding contexts, the book also advances notions of recognition, redistribution and representation as crucial components of gender-just peace. It argues that recognising women as victims and survivors of conflict, achieving a gender-equitable distribution of material and symbolic resources, and enabling women to participate as agents of transitional justice processes, are all essential for transforming the structural inequalities that enable gender violence and discrimination to materialise before, during, and after conflict. This study establishes a new avenue of analysis for understanding responses and resistances to international peacebuilding, by offering a sustained engagement with feminist social and political theory

The article discusses the issues of conducting authorship diagnostic studies in order to identify the gender of the anonymous text author. The concept of gender is considered as a conventional social construct, comprising the ideas about culturally conditioned model of masculinity or femininity, which are currently accepted by Russian society. The corpus of more than 1 000 written texts of mainly political discourse, written by people with different gender affiliations, serves as the material that enables to justify the possibility of application quantitative analysis method, based on frequency characteristics of semantically independent words, belonging to lexical-and-grammatical classes of words: pronouns, particles, prepositions, conjunctions and parenthesis. The method under consideration is aimed at identification and analyzing unevident implied signs, which can't be revealed whilst superficial analysis. Frequent, persistent occurrence of these signs in the texts of political discourse enables to regard them as highly informative quantitative characteristics of written speech of the authors belonging to different gender groups. It is stated, the results of application the quantitative model of author's gender identification, represented in the paper, are more reliable if they are used in combination with traditional linguistic model, which presupposes the analysis of linguistic, speech, textual, semantic, psycholinguistic and social characteristics of texts. The article outlines the prospects of speech diagnostics of a person on the basis of gender for the development of author's forensic examination.
The right to free movement, to move and work freely within the European Union (EU), is a cornerstone right held by EU and European Free Trade Area (EFTA) citizens. Labor flows across the EU are, however, not uniform but are characterized by significant geographic disparities. In particular, since the 2008 global financial crisis, labor emigration, measured by the rate of EU citizens living and working in other EU countries, has increased exclusively among certain Central and Eastern European nations. This paper seeks to examine the link between labor migration, austerity policies, and the rise of radical nationalist politics. This paper uses Boolean analysis to examine the relationships between labor migration, nationalism, welfare support, and austerity. I argue that austerity measures have pushed certain Central and Eastern European countries into the roles of labor-sending nations, so that emigration and scarcity put pressure on traditional conceptions of belonging, fueling radical politics. In this way, austerity provides the material and ideological conditions under which emigration comes to be seen as a threat to the well-being of the nation, stoking support for nationalist populist parties.
"In den letzten 15 Jahren kam es zu einer mannigfaltigen Veränderung der österreichischen Gesellschaft. Dieser sozialstrukturelle Wandel kann sowohl als Ursache als auch als Folge des Wertewandels gesehen werden. Vorliegendes Working Paper zeigt zunächst die Veränderung der Werthaltungen in Bezug auf Familie, Frauenerwerbstätigkeit und Kinder in Österreich zwischen 1988 und 2002 auf. Daran anschließend werden die österreichischen Werthaltungen in einen europäischen Vergleich gesetzt. Abschließend werden, ebenfalls im europäischen Vergleich, Arbeitsaufteilungen und Entscheidungsprozesse in Paarhaushalten, welche sowohl von der sozialen Struktur als auch von den Werthaltungen der Personen mitbestimmt werden, dargelegt."

This paper applies the notions of mobility, mobility capital, gender, and ageing to analyze marriage migration and the trajectories of geographical and social mobility of Thai-Dutch couples moving from the Netherlands to Thailand. It is based on in-depth interviews with 12 Thai-Dutch couples who moved from the Netherlands to Thailand and resided in Thailand for between three and twelve years. The study explores the key role of mobility capital in stimulating Thai-Dutch couples' imaginations, their perceptions, and their potential for movement. In terms of their 'mobility turn', I argue that their trajectories of mobility and relocation to Thailand should not be understood as a linear and permanent movement from the Netherlands to Thailand. Rather, this mobility is fluid, complicated, and sometimes fragmented. It is marked by the practices of waiting, hesitation to move, imagining their return, preparing to move, having actually returned, and travelling back and forth between Thailand and the Netherlands. It also encompasses local spatial move-ment in daily life.
