A lo largo de los artículos que componen el monográfico que se presenta a continuación, sus autoras repasan las mejoras alcanzadas con la promulgación de la LOI y los retos pendientes e incluso los riesgos emergentes en el camino hacia la igualdad. Desde una visión multidisciplinar se analizan importantes aspectos sociológicos y jurídicos en el marco de la aplicación de la ley, a partir de un análisis detallado de los efectos de la incorporación de la transversalidad, las acciones positivas y otras medidas propuestas por la LOI, como los planes de igualdad.
"Las Cortes se han configurado tradicionalmente como uno de los órganos principales de nuestro sistema político: desde el siglo XII, la existencia de estas asambleas parlamentarias ha sido una de las constantes de la historia de España. Una institución que ha experimentado profundas alteraciones desde la aparición de las cámaras estamentales del Medievo -que perduraron, con altibajos, hasta el fin del antiguo Régimen- hasta la consolidación de los Parlamentos democráticos -representados en el modelo de la Segunda República y en el previsto por la Constitución de 1978-, pasando por las sucesivas Cortes liberales decimonónicas o las configuraciones autoritarias ensayadas por las di...

A comprehensive account of how abiotic and biotic interactions shape patterns of coastal marine biodiversity and ecosystem processes globally.
The adoption of the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-sharing to the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2010 is a major landmark for the global governance of genetic resources and traditional knowledge. The way in which it will be translated into practice will however depend on the concrete implementation in national country legislation across the world. Implementing the Nagoya Protocol compares existing ABS regimes in ten European countries, including one non-EU member and one EU candidate country, and critically explores several cross-cutting issues related to the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol in the EU. Gathering some of the most professional and widely acclaimed experts in ABS issues, this book takes a major step towards filling a gap in the vast body of literature on national and regional implementation of global commitments regarding ABS and traditional knowledge.
This book includes essays that directly uncover how power asymmetries and related forms of marginalization and oppression function in the political and policy arenas with a special emphasis on the intersection of several systems of subordination. This edited volume tackles two main questions: first, what are the main claims, struggles, and possibilities of contemporary intersectional feminisms; and second, how shall we, as scholars, address intersectional (feminist) activisms in our research – theoretically, methodologically, and empirically. These issues are debated from several intersectional (feminist) perspectives, locations, and positionalities. The globally oriented and empirically g...
