The young woman was weaving a shawl. Jacqueline offered to purchase this square of colourful fabric, a few coins jingled on the table. A man immediately appeared and took the money.In 1993 Jacqueline de Chollet founded The Veerni Project (Veer Ni, the brave woman in Hindi) which strives to uplift women and girls, to break the cycle of poverty and gender inequality, and provide them with essential skills and knowledge through the establishment of a program to attend good secondary schools universal secondary education being a sustainable goal of the United Nations as well as training centres and healthcare facilities.Secondary schooling is often unavailable in many rural settings particularly in the desert area of Rajasthan.

These brave women will make the world a better place for all.

There is a strong interest in debating the most urgent questions emerging in Europe today, questions around concepts such as "consensus", "solidarity", "integration" and "participation".This e-book is the summary of papers presented at the workshop "From Ideas on Europe to the European Citizens: Why Europe?" at the German-Italian bilateral association Villa Vigoni. The first part of this e-book examines what past generations expected of Europe, in particular which answers were given to the question "Why Europe?". The second part of the e-book addresses the concept of "European Citizenship", within the legal and political framework of the idea of "citizen" ("Burger", "cittadino") in a European dimension. The third part consists of some critical analyses of the contemporary make up of European societies.

Today, when so many countries share the same transboundary river basins, unilateral water management becomes extremely critical. Joint water management, on the other hand, faces many obstacles, because of states interests in particular function of the water. Water is needed for drinking, household, irrigation, hydro-energy, fishing, navigation, tourism as well as many other purposes, and unfortunately, it cannot meet all needs simultaneously. The satisfaction of one need often impedes the others. In this regard, transboundary river basins often create challenges among states by leading them to negotiate in asymmetric relations.This book is an attempt to address the effectiveness of transboundary water management from a social and political perspective by offering new theoretical underpinnings to understand the success conditions in sharing transboundary water resources. The author focused in the work on three conditions, i.e. institutional conditions and country specific conditions, as well as conditions of regional integrity level and role of external actors. The proposed conditions were tested on two river basins i.e. the successful one in the example of Orange/Senqu river basin and unsuccessful one in the case of Naryn/Syrdarya river basin.

SUBNATIONAL OR REGIONAL PARLIAMENTS with legislative competences are increasingly active in EU affairs and are recognized as POTENTIAL ACTORS IN THE EUS MULTI-LEVEL SYSTEM BY EU LAW. However, studies on the territorial effects of European integration and on the Europeanization of parliaments as well as parliamentarism have so far disregarded this group of parliaments. In the existing theoretical concepts of multi-level parliamentarism subnational parliaments do not have a place until now. The book addresses this theoretical and empirical gap. Referring TO STUDIES ON PARLIAMENTARISM, FEDERALISM, AND EUROPEANIZATION the contributions discuss how to include subnational parliaments in the existing research. A total of 74 subnational parliaments from eight member states is affected by the new system, which allows them to participate in the so-called Early Warning Mechanism of subsidiarity control. The situation in six EU member states is analyzed in detail. The country chapters illustrate and analyze how subnational parliaments in the federal member states (Austria, Belgium, Germany) and in the decentralized/devolved ones (Great Britain, Italy, Spain) functionally adapt to the new opportunity structure and discuss the repercussions on legislative-executive relations as well as on interparliamentary relations.

Desde el inicio de los Estudios Feministas y de Género hasta la actualidad ha pasado mucho tiempo y con él, por suerte, muchas cosas han cambiado. Este libro quiere ser un homenaje, y una ventana, a esos cambios, haciendo un recorrido desde las primeras luchas por una igualdad feminista que, en su origen, divisaba el mundo como dividido entre mujeres y hombres, a una igualdad feminista que, en la actualidad, observa el mundo como caracterizado por la diversidad sexual y de genero. Para ello, este libro pretende ser una contribucion original por varias razones. La primera es su diversidad tematica. La segunda, su interdisciplinariedad. La tercera es la pluralidad de voces que recoge. Las tres razones estan estrechamente relacionadas. La diversidad tematica se debe a nuestro interes por visibilizar las distintas aristas de las luchas feministas por la igualdad a lo largo de su historia. Relacionado con ello, la interdisciplinariedad con la que se escribe la historia del feminismo es prueba de como la lucha por la igualdad se ha desplegado en distintos ambitos sociales y de conocimiento, pues el cambio hacia una sociedad democratica igualitaria de hecho ha de ser estructural, o no sera. Las voces y las tematicas propuestas son muy variadas, como lo son las realidades sociales que forman parte de nuestra sociedad actual. Una cuarta razon de la originalidad de este libro es el recorrido historico a traves de sus capitulos: desde el Movimiento de Liberacion de las Mujeres, con las sufragistas a la cabeza, pasando por los Movimientos de Liberacion Gay y Lesbico, hasta llegar a los movimientos del amplio y diverso colectivo LGTTBQI, y los Estudios sobre Masculinidades, esto es, De la Igualdad de Genero, a la Igualdad Sexual y de Genero"."

De Pedro, o Grande, a Putin: entenda a Rússia através de sua dinastia mais implacávelSimon Sebag Montefiore, autor best-seller, traz-nos a extraordinária história da dinastia mais bem-sucedida dos tempos modernos. A familia que criou o maior imperio do mundo e perdeu tudo: Os Romanov. Os Romanov governaram a Russia como czares e imperadores durante trezentos anos. Atraves da força implacavel das suas personalidades, esta familia de autocratas peculiares, mas brilhantes, transformou um reino fraco e arruinado pela guerra civil num imperio que dominou a Europa. Pedro, o Grande, tirano bebedo e assassino, e Catarina, a Grande, a apaixonada princesa alem que destronou o proprio marido para se tornar a estadista mais notavel de uma epoca de ouro, foram os dois maiores governantes da Russia. Isabel, que tinha tanto de promiscua como de glamorosa, continuou a ascenso da Russia como potencia europeia; mais tarde, Pedro III e Paulo I, impotentes e desequilibrados, foram assassinados. Nicolau I censurou Pushkin e travou a Guerra da Crimeia com a Gr-Bretanha. Finalmente, Nicolau II e Alexandra, apesar do seu casamento feliz e da tragedia do seu filho hemofilico, revelaram-se demasiado ineptos para salvar a Russia da Grande Guerra e da Revoluço.Esta e a historia de como a Russia se tornou o pais que conhecemos atualmente.Simon Sebag Montefiore, autor bestseller de Jerusalem e O Mundo, mostra que o imperio dos autocratas e os seus pequenos grupos sempre dominaram a historia da Russia, desde o primeiro czar Romanov em 1613, passando pela magnificencia de Pedro e Catarina e o declinio de Nicolau II, ate aos czares vermelhos Lenine e Estaline no seculo XX e a presidencia autoritaria de Putin no seculo XXI.
