Welchen Wert hat schulisches Bildungswissen - und welchen Preis? Wo und wie lässt sich schulisches Bildungswissen als unsichtbares, öffentliches Gut dingfest machen: als Produkt oder als Ressource, als Leistung oder als Ertrag, als Set von Kompetenzen oder im Vergleich von Volkswirtschaften? Wo und durch wen entstehen Wert- und Preisdefinitionen, welche Prozesse der Inklusion und Exklusion gehen damit einher, und mit Rekurs auf welche Kriterien werden sie legitimiert und durchgesetzt? In diesem Band werden aus unterschiedlichen Theorieperspektiven grundlegende Fragen nach den Möglichkeiten, Formen und Dimensionen der Wert- und Preisbestimmung von schulischem Bildungswissen bearbeitet und diskutiert.

This book explores the connection between family structure and circumstances, parental engagement, and adolescent sexual behavior. Given that South Africa contains the highest portion of the global HIV epidemic within a single country, a comprehensive, book-length investigation into-sometimes risky-adolescent sexual behaviour is necessary. Drawing from the longitudinal Cape Area Panel Study (CAPS) of more than 4,000 adolescents between the ages of fourteen and twenty-two, as well as qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with parents and adolescents, this study pioneers empirical investigation of adolescent sexual behavior within the intricate framework of family dynamics in South Africa.

The phenomenon of child trafficking holds a unique position as an issue of significant contemporary relevance, occupying a principal place in debates about human rights today. The interchangeable terms trafficking and modern slavery evoke emotive responses and proclamations about abolition of contemporary ills, viewed as the ultimate aberration when a child is involved. The classification of children under legal frameworks marks them as different, as 'other', and in the context of laws implemented to address trafficking, slavery, and children on the move more generally, this distinction is complicated.This book charts the emergence, decline and re-emergence of child trafficking law and policy during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of the historical origins of child trafficking by utilising the wealth of information located within the non-digitised archives of the League of Nations. It focusses upon the Committee onthe Traffic in Women and Children to engage with League of Nations policy to provide an insightful and original contribution to the current body of literature. This is a book that seeks to critique the entanglements of children's rights and colonialism in relation to the mobility and exploitation of children. It centralises the legacy of colonialism, the undercurrents of race, white supremacy, patriarchy, and their ongoing influence upon contemporary anti-trafficking legal and policy responses. Through utilizing what the author identifies as the 'anti-trafficking machine' as a theoretical framework, the book challenges contemporary law and policy responses to child trafficking. This theoretical framework has been adopted to illustrate a central hypothesis of the book - that the contemporary anti-trafficking agenda is both imperialist and a continuity of colonial attitudes.

The searing, must-read feminist essay from the author of A Girl is a Half-formed Thing<BR><BR>'Fearless ... A fierce and fascinating manifesto in McBride's persuasive prose' Sinéad Gleeson<BR><BR>'Formidable' Vogue<BR><BR>In this galvanizing essay, Eimear McBride unpicks the contradictory forces of disgust and objectification that control and shame women. From playground taunts of 'only sluts do it' but 'virgins are frigid', to ladette culture, and the arrival of 'ironic' porn, via Debbie Harry, the Kardashians and the Catholic church - she looks at how this prejudicial messaging has played out in the past, and still surrounds us today. <BR><BR>McBride asks - are women still damned if we do, damned if we don't? How can we give our daughters (and sons) the unbounded futures we want for them? And, in this moment of global crisis, might our gift for juggling contradiction help us to find a way forward?<BR><BR>'A satisfying feminist polemic' Susie Orbach<BR><BR>'Remarkable' Scotsman<BR><BR>'Eimear McBride is that old fashioned thing, a genius' Guardian

This book aims at explaining the nature and strength of the links between the families and their farms looking at their diversity throughout the world. To do so, it documents family farming diversity by using the sustainable rural livelihood (SRL) framework exploring their ability to adapt and transform to changing environments. In 18 case studies in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, it shows how family farms resist under adverse conditions, seize new opportunities and permanently transform. Family farms, far from being backwards are potential solutions to face the current challenges and shape a new future for agriculture taking advantage of their local knowledge and capacity to cope with external constraints. Many co-authors of the book have both an empirical and theoretical experience of family farming in developed and developing countries and their related institutions. They specify 'what makes and means family' in family farming and the diversity of their expertise draws a wide and original picture of this resilient way of farming throughout the world.
