India Studies in Business and Economics

This book showcases the work of Annapurna Pariwar, an NGO comprising six organizations, over the past 30 years and its impact on changing the lives of low-income working women with small businesses in the slums of Mumbai and Pune in the Indian state of Maharashtra. This group of six organizations together forms a social enterprise, established at a time of major changes in the Indian economy in the form of globalization and urbanization. The NGO set out to address issues of livelihood and poverty alleviation in slums. Adopting a path that was sustainable and did not depend upon grants, the journey is a fascinating account of learnings in organizational evolution and its impact on the lives of poor women.The book is divided into two parts. The first part has three chapters charting the journey of Annapurna Pariwar based on interviews with Medha Tai, the founder of Annapurna Pariwar. These chapters discuss milestones, organizational evolution, and challenges, especially demonetization and COVID-19. The lifecycle of the organization and of the women in the case studies are juxtaposed within the framework of financial, physical, sociocultural, and political spaces. The second part of the book contains analyses from well-known authors and academics who contextualize the relevance of Annapurna Pariwar’s work and future against microfinance, microinsurance, plus services, social entrepreneurship, digitization, and urban landscapes. The book thus contributes not only to the practice-field; it has several academic contributions as well for researchers studying social phenomena such as social entrepreneurship, microfinance, cooperatives, women empowerment, and women entrepreneurship. While doing so, it addresses SDGs such as SDG3, SDG5, SDG8, and SDG11. The book is for a wide audience, comprising social entrepreneurs in the field of social development, microfinance, and microinsurance. It is of relevance to business schools and educational institutions which offer courses on social entrepreneurship and development studies.

Gender Studies

Real Dolls versprechen intime Körperlichkeit ohne lebendige Gegenüber und oszillieren zwischen technikethischen Fantasien und realem Begehren. Mark Bibbert vergleicht die Antizipation künftiger Sexroboter mit empirisch begründeten Nutzungsgefügen hyperrealistischer Sexpuppen. Intimitäts¿, Hobby¿ und Lust-Gefüge verknüpfen materielle, affektive, diskursive und biografische Elemente zu je eigenen Formen anthropomorpher Echtheit, Sex und Intimität. Eine durch den Nonhuman Turn reformulierte Situationsanalyse erschließt diese Gefüge, macht sichtbar, wo gängige Kritikmuster aktuelle Nutzungsweisen verfehlen, und formuliert eine Kritik jenseits technikethischer Determinismen.

Critical Criminological Perspectives

This edited book centres the experiences of groups and individuals who have historically received little attention in the broader framing of victimology, victims movements and wider society. With a mainstream political discourse underpinned by conceptions of deservingness and idealised constructions of victimhood, many groups and individuals— including sex workers, non-human animals, sexual minorities, families of the convicted, and people from working-class communities are marginalised from important debates. This book provides an intersectional examination of victimisation with a discussion of new and existing forms of victimisation linking to theories. It&nbsp;has four themed sections on: hidden violence and abuse,&nbsp;co-victims and retraumatization, recognizing and restoring hidden and unrecognized victims&nbsp;and non-human victims. It supports the need for greater recognition and understanding of these groups, the ethical implications of current and future policy and practice, and innovations in theory and conceptual debates. It speaks to&nbsp;the disciplines of Sociology, Criminology, and Social Work, and for anyone who works with victims in practice.Dr Ian Mahoney
 &nbsp;is Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Deputy Director of the Centre for Crime, Offending, Prevention and Engagement at Nottingham Trent University, UK. His research is currently focused around exploring memetic warfare, and understanding and addressing the harms and impacts of crime and contact with the justice system across diverse groups. Drawing upon Transformative Justice principles he is currently exploring approaches to better understanding societal barriers to effective rehabilitation and reintegration.
 &nbsp;Dr Hind Elhinnawy
 &nbsp;is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Nottingham Trent University, UK, and Chair of the Critical Criminology and Social Justice Research Group. Her work bridges feminist, anti-racist, and decolonial scholarship with grassroots activism, focusing on marginalised voices and structural inequality. Hind’s research interrogates the politics of recognition, epistemic injustice, and the silencing of minoritised communities—particularly Muslim women, and survivors of institutional harm. Hind’s activism includes a landmark legal case in Egypt that led to changes in family law, securing recognition for single mothers and children born outside wedlock.

Hidden, Unheard and Unrecognized Victims

This book brings together leading scholars from private law and employment law to reflect upon private law doctrines as they relate to the employment contract. Developing an interdisciplinary dialogue, these contributions explore the regulatory functions of private law doctrines at the cutting edge of modern employment law. Topics include the potential and limitations of private law damages; the role of injunctions and specific performance; the interactions between express and implied terms; vicarious liability; substantial performance and breach; and the common law right to work. The integration of scholarly perspectives from the realms of private law and employment law enriches and deepens our understanding of core private law doctrines. Historically, employment law was defined in terms of its autonomy from general private law. This achievement of autonomy was highly prized, and considered necessary to facilitate industrial freedoms for trade unions and the protection of employees from exploitation. But the contractual basis of employment means that any such autonomy has always been partial and unstable. Furthermore, as trade unions have declined and governments have deregulated statutory employment rights, private law has assumed growing practical importance in strategic appellate litigation. In many common law jurisdictions, private law doctrines have become the new battleground between employers, workers and trade unions. The essays in this book examine specific doctrinal issues against this dynamic backdrop of changing social, economic and constitutional conditions. While focused mainly on English law, the essays also consider examples from other jurisdictions including Australia and Scotland. As private law becomes the default regulation for most employment contracts in 21st-century labour markets across the world, this book is an essential resource for practitioners, judges, academics and students.

Human Rights Law in Perspective

What is the reality of what it is to participate in associations, such as sports clubs, charities, trade unions, or political parties? This book explores the complexities surrounding the right of association from a legal and philosophical perspective. Legal chapters explore how the right is protected in jurisdictions as diverse as Chile, Germany, Indonesia, Kenya, Slovenia, Türkiye and the United Kingdom, alongside thematic chapters on judicial review, associational schism and the lived experience of associational participation. Philosophical chapters employ social ontology to illuminate the nature of group interaction and the reality of associational life. Offering the first interdisciplinary examination of freedom of association, this collection contributes significantly to our understanding of this fundamental right.

Associational Life and Freedom

Dirty Dragging ist dem unberechenbaren, nomadischen Mitschleppen gewidmet und reformuliert queertheoretische Fragen aus transozeanischer Perspektive. Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Ambivalenz ¿dreckiger¿ Auftrittsformen von Drag über Karneval bis zur Propaganda in politischen Gewaltzusammenhängen: unter Apartheid, NS und Jim Crow-Segregation. Evelyn Annuß erweitert die Lektüre von Gender Bending um Perspektiven auf Blackface und ¿racialized Drag¿. Entsprechend fragt Dirty Dragging sowohl nach gewaltförmigen, lokal spezifischen Mobilisierungen des Transgressiven als auch danach, wie wie sich queere und kreolisierte Formen performativen Widerstreits gegen identitäre Trennungen verschränken. So erinnert das Buch vor dem Hintergrund gegenwärtigen rechtsautoritären Abdriftens zugleich an das potenzielle Glück, die Verhältnisse kollektiv zum Tanzen zu bringen.

Palgrave Advances in Sex Work Studies

This book explores ‘exiting’ programs for sex workers, which are behavioural change interventions that support people to stop selling sex. This book examines questions about how we should conceptualise and respond to ‘exiting’ and, by centring sex workers’ voices, it provides evidence of the impact of these programs. It examines sex work ‘exiting’, not as something sex workers need to stop doing, but as part of sex work careers. Drawing on interviews and a global program review to establish best practice, this book challenges the idea of sex work as something a person is ‘in’ or ‘out’ of. It also explores sex workers’ resistance to this area of programming to highlight the power and politics of ‘exiting’. Using a labour framing and seeing sex work as career, this book repositions ‘exiting’ as career development and sheds new light on everyday working circumstances, popular discourses, policies and programs and grassroots struggles for change. As a co-collaboration incorporating knowledge from researchers and lived experience experts, this book is a unique addition that challenges the dominant abolitionist, anti-sex work framings and is of interest to academics, policy makers, sex worker support organisations and non-government organisations globally.

Reconceptualizing Exiting and Career Development in Sex Work

Routledge Revivals

First published in 2001, The Criminalisation of Stalking fills a much-needed gap by drawing upon a range of methodologies to present a thorough examination of the way in which stalking became perceived as a pressing and prevalent social problem in need of legal intervention.

The Criminalisation of Stalking

This book explores how Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) can be integrated into Indigenous engagement and consultation processes in Canada’s natural resource sector. The author critiques the existing regulatory framework, which separates formal legal consultation from informal social engagement, and argues for a more holistic approach that centers Indigenous rights, participation, and sovereignty. By moving beyond legal compliance and risk management approaches, the author proposes a new model for inclusive partnerships between Indigenous communities, industry, and government. He examines how FPIC can foster meaningful relationships, facilitate collaborative governance, and transform approaches to resource development. Drawing on research and practice, this bookoffers practical insights for scholars, policymakers, industry leaders, and Indigenous communities navigating these complex issues.

This book examines the long-term dynamics of urban labour market behaviour of women and men over three and a half decades, spanning the period from 1987-88 to 2023-24. It provides a detailed understanding of the topic by incorporating data and information that cover both the supply and demand sides of the labour market. The book distinguishes itself from similar studies by adopting a life-cycle approach for women so as to enable a holistic coverage of various dimensions that hamper or facilitate their economic participation at every stage of life. It examines the gender differences in labour market behaviour and outcomes of young graduate women, married working age women, as well as elderly women. It also undertakes a time-use analysis for understanding the impact of education on gender differences in the distribution of unpaid domestic responsibilities among adolescent girls and boys. Likewise, among the married women fully engaged in household work, the book explores the potential for their integration into the labour force if employment opportunities are accessible at their household. Combining quantitative analysis of secondary datasets with qualitative analysis of primary survey interviews, this study provides an evidence-based depiction of gendered labour market realities and the policy approach to address them. The qualitative approach uses narrative-building to capture the lived experiences of women and men employed in the public transport and sanitation sectors. This book will serve as an important resource for understanding of female labour market by researchers, scholars, policymakers, practitioners, NGOs, and students of gender and labour studies.
