This volume takes a critical look at the gender of tax policy around the world.

Feminist Perspectives on Contemporary International Law

Editors: Sari Kouvo & Zoe Pearson

2011 , 250 p. , ISBN: 9781841134284 (Hb) ; 9781849466585 (Pb) ; 9781847316479 (pdf) ; 9781782255857 (ePub)

The essays in this volume analyse feminism's positioning vis-à-vis international law and the current paradigms of international law. The authors argue that, willingly or unwillingly, feminist perspectives on international law have come to be situated between 'resistance' and 'compliance'. That is, feminist scholarship aims at deconstructing international law to show why and how 'women' have been marginalised; at the same time feminists have been largely unwilling to challenge the core of international law and its institutions, remaining hopeful of international law's potential for women.

Emotions, Crime and Justice

Editors: Susanne Karstedt, Ian Loader & Heather Strang

2011 , 394 p. , ISBN: 9781849461610 (Hb) ; 9781849466837 (Pb) ; 9781847316455 (pdf) ; 9781847317834 (ePub)

The return of emotions to debates about crime and criminal justice has been a striking development of recent decades across many jurisdictions. This has been registered in the return of shame to justice procedures, a heightened focus on victims and their emotional needs, fear of crime as a major preoccupation of citizens and politicians, and highly emotionalised public discourses on crime and justice. But how can we best make sense of these developments?
