Globalization and Europe's Rural Regions

Globalization and Europe's Rural Regions

Birte Nienaber

Routledge
2018
nidottu
This book examines the multiple ways in which rural regions in Europe are being restructured through globalization and the regional development responses that they have adopted. It provides an understanding of the key challenges and opportunities for rural regions arising from the major economic, social, political and cultural changes associated with globalization, including trade liberalization and economic deregulation, increased international migration, and the rise of global consciousness about environmental issues. Drawing on examples and findings from a major European research project, DERREG, the book presents detailed case studies of ten regions in different parts of Europe, exploring the factors that lead to different experiences of globalization in each of the regions, and highlighting examples of good practice in regional development responses. The book concludes by proposing a typology of regional responses to globalization and considering the policy implications of the research findings. As such, ’Globalization and Europe’s Rural Regions’ is important reading for geographers, sociologists, planners and economists interested in understanding the impact of globalization in rural regions, and for rural development professionals seeking to mobilize effective responses.

Imagining the American Death Penalty

Imagining the American Death Penalty

Birte Christ

Oxford University Press
2025
sidottu
Imagining the American Death Penalty traces the US American cultural imaginary of capital punishment through popular visual representations from the 1890s to the twenty-first century. The book focuses on three generic and historical clusters of representations: early film from the 1890s through Intolerance (1916), crime film noir of the 1950s and1960s, and legal TV series from the 1990s through the early 2000s. The book makes two central arguments. First, it demonstrates that an increased concern with the death penalty in popular media does not mean that these texts promote an abolitionist agenda: their cultural work is ambiguous at best. This ambiguity is always contingent upon both the affordances of the particular genre and medium in question and on political-legal discursive context. The book explores both in detail. Early film is enchanted with its own representational possibilities due to the progress of technology and, in analogy, with the progress in execution technique, specifically the electric chair. In film noir, genre conventions and the legal back-and-forth before and after Furman predicate ambiguity. In legal TV series, the genre's ensemble casts and its focus on conversational exchange invite open debate. The second argument is that popular visual representations consistently whitewash the death penalty. The book demonstrates that this is the case because the most common narrative around executions in film and TV is to cast the condemned man as a hero who defies the violence of the state, gains dignity by accepting his fate and faults, and in some ways triumphs over death. The American imaginary, until very recently, did or could not imagine Black men to possess that measure of agency that it attributed to its white heroes.

Gender and Citizenship

Gender and Citizenship

Birte Siim

Cambridge University Press
2000
sidottu
Feminist analysis shows that the prevailing concepts of citizenship often assume a male citizen. How, then, does this affect the agency and participation of women in modern democracies? This insightful book, first published in 2000, presents a systematic comparison of the links between women's social rights and democratic citizenship in three different citizenship models: republican citizenship in France, liberal citizenship in Britain, and social citizenship in Denmark. Birte Siim argues that France still suffers from the contradictions of pro-natalist policy, and that Britain is only just starting to re-conceptualise the male-breadwinner model that is still a dominant feature. In her examination of the dual-breadwinner model in Denmark, Siim presents research about Scandinavian social policy and makes an important and timely contribution to debates in political sociology, social policy and gender studies.

Rethinking Gender and Politics

Rethinking Gender and Politics

Birte Siim

EDWARD ELGAR PUBLISHING LTD
2026
sidottu
Leading scholar, Birte Siim, presents an erudite examination of gender and politics from intersectional, transnational and postnational perspectives. Addressing key areas of classical and contemporary feminism, Siim explores the influence of diverse national, socio-economic and political contexts on gender politics across the globe. Examining feminist methodologies, theories and research, the book investigates key feminist topics such as rethinking patriarchy and the critique of the public-private divide, as well as more contemporary discussions including the postcolonial feminist critique of methodological nationalism, Western universalism and Eurocentrism. It highlights how gender scholarship is informed by global socio-economic developments, geopolitical issues and crises such as the wars in Afghanistan and Syria. Looking ahead, Siim calls for future gender politics scholarship to consider feminist ecological approaches and advocates for strategies which centre social, reproductive and climate justice. Rethinking Gender and Politics is an essential resource for students and academics in gender studies, political science, sociology and development studies. It is also a valuable read for practitioners, activists and policymakers involved in feminism, climate justice and decolonization.

Local Legitimacy in Peacebuilding

Local Legitimacy in Peacebuilding

Birte Julia Gippert

Routledge
2017
sidottu
This book analyses the role of legitimacy in explaining local actors’ compliance with international peacebuilding operations.The book provides a comparative, micro-level study of local actors’ reasons for compliance with or resistance to international peacebuilding. Specifically, it analyses three pathways to compliance –legitimacy, coercion, and reward-seeking – to explore local police officers’ compliance with the reforms stipulated by the EU Police Mission in Bosnia and the EU Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo. The work constructs a holistic framework of the mechanisms connecting each pathway to compliance and measures legitimacy using micro-level indicators. This study not only shines light on the question why local actors comply, a crucial factor in mission effectiveness, but it also illuminates exactly how compliance works. The book contributes nuanced evidence about the often-heralded importance of legitimacy in peacebuilding, showing exactly in which situations local legitimacy matters and in which it does not. It is also highly relevant for policy-makers as it unpacks and explains the mechanisms behind local legitimacy, assisting in understanding this usually nebulous concept. This book demonstrates the need for micro-level analysis by revealing the relevant processes of legitimation usually hidden behind commonly perceived social fault lines, such as the Serb-Albanian divide in Kosovo.This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, war and conflict studies, Balkans politics, security studies and International Relations.

Solving International Norm Conflicts

Solving International Norm Conflicts

Birte Böök

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2025
sidottu
This book provides a theoretical framework which clarifies how different types of international norm conflicts can be solved efficiently. By drawing on Robert Alexy’s distinction between rules and principles, it develops a novel approach which helps better identify and conceptualise norm conflicts and their resolution. The book develops a unique method by which to identify norms of international law as rules and principles respectively. Using examples taken from different international legal regimes, such as international environmental law and international human rights law, it argues that it is indeed possible to distinguish between the two types of norms within the body of international law. It goes on to use this distinction to consider which tools are available at the international level to resolve conflicts involving either type of norm, highlighting their gaps and inefficiencies. Finally, it provides a new framework to be used for looking at international conflicts and provides several case studies which show that drawing the distinction between rules and principles can be a means by which scholars, judicial bodies and states may analyse ambiguous judicial decisions or international legal provisions, and thus foster greater clarity in the field of international law.
