Gesundheit, Kommunikation und Gesellschaft

Die Public Health Humanities verstehen Gesundheit und Krankheit als kulturell und sozial geprägte Phänomene. Sie ergänzen die empirisch orientierte Multidisziplin Public Health um geisteswissenschaftliche und künstlerische Perspektiven. Dabei fragen sie nach der Bedeutung des Künstlerischen für die Gesundheit, interessieren sich für moralische, soziale und kulturelle Dimensionen von Gesundheit und Krankheit in Kunst bzw. Medien und bieten theoretische Zugänge für gesundheitliche Analysen an. Bezugsdisziplinen sind u.a. Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichte. Die Beiträger*innen leuchten das Spektrum unterschiedlicher Perspektiven und Zugänge der Public Health Humanities erstmals auf Deutsch aus.

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.

After the Spike

Studien des Leibniz-Instituts für Friedens- und Konfliktforschung

This book examines one of the most important questions in peace research: What leads to enduring peace after civil wars, and what leads to the resurgence of violence? For decades, intrastate conflicts have been the predominant form of armed conflict, and most recent civil wars were conflicts that recurred. The research presented in this book focuses on influenceable factors, first and foremost on the type of civil war termination and on the post-civil war order that is shaped by the distribution of military power between the former warring parties and the scale of political compromise. Moreover, it shows that the peacekeeping environment has a major influence on whether peace endures. The insights provided in this book are relevant for the academic community, and for decision-makers and practitioners involved in civilian or military efforts to establish and preserve peace.

Sustaining Peace After Civil War

Edition Politik

How do idealistic projects for shaping the world relate to the actual political organization of world politics? The contributors to this volume provide a fresh perspective on the formation of order in world politics. They develop and utilize the concept of ¿Worldmaking Projects¿ (WMPs). These are projects that throughout history have sought to advance specific visions of order, such as national, imperial, or international. A particular emphasis is put on the central, yet often overlooked role that infrastructures&nbsp;play&nbsp;in this regard. The nexus between infrastructures and worldmaking is explored in relation to different Worldmaking Projects, including those in the air and in space, as well as in the polar regions.

How Coca-Cola makes Americans sick—and makes sure we don’t know it. If we knew that Coca-Cola was among the deadliest products in our diet, would we continue drinking it in such great quantities? The Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out, as this damning exposé makes patently clear. Marshaling the findings of extensive research and deep investigative reporting, Murray Carpenter describes in Sweet and Deadly the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.

Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Asia

The book explores the concept of counter-narratives to terrorism within the context of Pakistan’s unique socio-political, cultural, and historical experiences. It provides actionable insights to combat extremism, focusing on the role of ideology, socio-economic reforms, and community engagement in reducing radicalization.
As a frontline state in the global War on Terror, Pakistan deals with the rise of terrorist groups such as the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and their shocking use of suicide terrorism. Despite military achievements, enduring peace remains elusive due to ideological and social origins of extremism. This book addresses the pressing necessity for counter-narratives—intellectual, cultural, and strategic outlines to challenge extremist ideologies and promote peace within and beyond the borders.
Munir Ahmad Zia Rao serves as Deputy Inspector General of Police (Training), Punjab, Pakistan. Over the past twenty-five years, he has worked across operational and strategic policing domains, including counter-terrorism, criminal intelligence, and policy development. He has served with Pakistan’s National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA),&nbsp;Additional Director Anti Money Laundering Unit&nbsp; (FIA), and provincial police Training Directorate, contributing to policy development, law enforcement, national security, and community resilience initiatives. Dr. Rao holds a Ph.D. in Terrorism Studies and is recognized for his pioneering field research on suicide terrorism, including extensive interviews with failed suicide bombers and former militants. His academic work bridges empirical inquiry with critical theory, engaging with themes such as biopolitics, necropolitics, radical ideology, and de-radicalization. Beyond policing, he serves as a researcher, trainer, and policy advisor in the domains of counter-extremism, digital radicalization, and the development of sustainable peace narratives in South Asia.

Counter-Narratives to Terrorism in Pakistan

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Palgrave Studies in Crime, Media and Culture

<div>
This book identifies an emerging Brazilian cultural criminology which combines Brazilian and Latin American critical criminology with the new avenues of investigation and methodologies that characterize cultural criminology more broadly. Bringing together various perspectives, it offers a new take on cultural criminology which demonstrates its international scope and innovative approaches to explore the specific problems of Brazil’s peripheral reality. It offers a window into past and present Brazil, discussing themes of colonialism, slavery, genocide, eugenics, police lethality, mass imprisonment, urban groups, Bolsonarism, youth gangs, mediated representation, and the pandemic.
The joint work of criminologists from Brazil constitutes a new facet of Brazilian critical criminology and a new facet of cultural criminology itself. Bound by their common political identity, these fields continue to develop and spiral together, challenging accepted notions of locality and reinventing academic and everyday forms of resistance in different arenas of the Global South and Global North. 
This book demonstrates that the reception and incorporation of methodologies and ideas from cultural criminology into Brazilian critical criminology do not reveal a simple reproduction, but rather that Brazilian criminologists continue to reinvent and contest, from the margins, the very cultural criminology of the Global North from which they were inspired to refine and expand the accumulated critical knowledge positioned against administrative criminology. 
The translation of this book was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done for language and content.

Urban Future-Making

In an era of rapid change and growing uncertainty, we are facing an urgent question: How can cities be built for futures that defy prediction? The contributors to this volume tackle this challenge by exploring the role of contingency in urban future-making. Through a range of case studies, they examine relevant aims, strategies, and decision-making processes in both past and present contexts. They reveal how unexpected events and unpredictable factors unsettle established urban conditions but also spark new ideas and possibilities for rethinking and reshaping the city. The volume shows how urban future-making involves navigating highly uncertain environments and extreme conditions, opening new spaces of knowledge and action.

Ibero-American Criminal Sciences

This book examines the rise of financial totalitarianism and its profound implications for criminal justice and criminological theory. It explores how the concentration of wealth and social exclusion, driven by corporate CEOs, has altered the role of politics in shaping criminal justice systems. The text argues that these shifts have given rise to a dystopian criminology, marked by a focus on total security, extreme prevention, zero tolerance policies, and pervasive surveillance. It critically assesses how these developments contribute to the criminalization of dissent, foster societal fears of outsiders, and institutionalize ethnic and cultural discrimination, all while maintaining a façade of administrative control. Drawing on historical and contemporary analysis, the book offers a framework for rethinking criminology in the context of financial and political power, advocating for a more critical approach to understanding crime, punishment, and justice in an increasingly unequal world.
