Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book offers the first comprehensive, in-depth analysis of gender discrimination and female infanticide in Greece during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While focusing on a single case study, it offers insights into broader patterns of gender discrimination across Europe, particularly in countries shaped by social upheaval, economic instability, and deeply entrenched patriarchal structures. The book combines extensive quantitative analysis of population records, census data, and economic indicators such as dowries with innovative qualitative research.Unlike similar studies in other regions, this book employs a multidisciplinary approach. Integrating mixed methods and sources, including census data, contemporary literature, oral histories, and folklore, it provides a nuanced understanding of local variations, mentalities, and socio-economic factors influencing discriminatory practices. The book challenges the conventional narrative that Europe did not experience high levels of gender discrimination in childhood during this period. Drawing on sources ranging from foundling hospital records to folkloric texts, it uncovers the major social and economic dimensions of this phenomenon in Greece. It also pays particular attention to skewed sex ratios and women’s labour and economic opportunities, examining how these intersected with regional family systems and gender inequalities, while opening avenues for future research into their longer-term social and economic implications.This will be an important read for scholars in economic history, population economics, gender history, historical demography, and ethnography.Eftychia Kalaitzidou is a researcher at the Department of Historical Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Her PhD research, conducted within the project "Missing Girls in Historical Europe", examined gender discrimination, excess female mortality, and girls’ experiences in Greece during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She is currently a researcher in the project "All the Names", which investigates historical naming practices and their relationship to family, identity, migration, and social change. Her broader research interests include gender and family history, historical demography, childhood, naming and identity, migration, war and political violence, and gendered experiences of conflict, with particular emphasis on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches.

Over the last two decades, Pakistan has seen major legislative changes in the area of gender-based violence. This book explores the impact and ongoing influence of these changes. A frequent refrain in political and social commentary in Pakistan is that these laws, while transformative on paper, have not translated to actual change in the lives of women and girls because of poor implementation. Through analysis of court cases, data on criminal proceedings, and interviews with activists and survivors, this book demonstrates how the impact of progressive laws is influenced by entrenched social norms and structural flaws in state institutions, especially the criminal justice system. Sara Malkani sheds light on limitations of the formal justice system while showing how law reform can create openings for activists to pursue gender justice.

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MONEY: A USER'S GUIDEWe vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?So why - in the privacy of the therapy room - does money emerge as one of the biggest causes of tension for modern couples? Why is it cited as the major factor in family estrangement between parents, children, and siblings? Why is there a trend for the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' to go to court to retrieve loans they regret handing over?In MONEY: A USER'S GUIDE, Laura showed us how to save into a pension and understand investment. This time, she delves into the really complex stuff - a non-judgemental examination of whether there is a "right" way to share our money with those we love, and what everyone else does behind closed doors. A book that none of us want to admit we need.How do you decide who picks up the bill, or what goes in the joint account? Is your partner being generous or controlling? Is this house mine if your parents paid most of the deposit? How much are you prepared to spend to have a baby? When should we give money to our kids, our mum and dad, our siblings, our community? Should they pay us back? What does everyone else do? Why don't we know? And why does it feel so agonisingly awkward to ask?This is a book of personal finance advice told through real stories about other people's modern money and relationship dilemmas.Laura speaks to financial advisers and wealth managers, marriage counsellors and matchmakers, philosophers, religious leaders, funeral directors and divorce lawyers, to get to the bottom of the questions that can be much more fundamental to our wealth and happiness than where to put our savings.

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

The Gendered World of Crime and Justice

Palgrave Studies in Victims and Victimology

This book tackles the widespread problem of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Nigerian tertiary institutions through a proactive, stakeholder-collaborated intervention that connects research, policy, and practice. Drawing on a national study called Acting Together, this book intentionally closes the gap from diagnosis to durable systems change. The project used a sequential mixed-methods design that involved large-scale quantitative surveying followed by focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and in-depth Interviews to anchor statistical trends in lived experience and institutional narratives. Unlike similar projects that focus on prevalence statistics and isolated interventions, this project foregrounds the systemic drivers of SGBV, ranging from personal, structural, and environmental factors, and then translates findings into multi-level actions. By engaging students, management, academic and non-academic staff, regulatory bodies, law enforcement, civil society, and community actors, the project demonstrates how coordinated stakeholder synergy amplifies impact. It further documents patterns of perpetration, institutional responses, and survivors’ pathways to care, enabling interventions that address how SGBV is experienced on campuses.Oluyemisi Oluremi Obilade

Die Washingtoner Prinzipien von 1998, fordern die Signatarstaaten zu "gerechten und fairen Lösungen" im Umgang mit "NS-Raubkunst" auf. Das Vereinigte Königreich setzte diesen Appell im Jahr 2000 mit Einrichtung des "Spoliation Advisory Panel" (SAP) um, das seither einen Streitbeilegungsmechanismus bietet, um auf die Ansprüche Berechtigter zu reagieren. Dieser Band nimmt die 22 Empfehlungen in den Blick, die das Panel bislang ausgesprochen hat. Die Entscheidungen werden vor dem Hintergrund der englischen Rechtstradition und -praxis sowie der historischen Rolle des Vereinigten Königreichs analysiert, systematisiert und einem abstrakten Regelwerk zugeführt. Die so sichtbar gemachte Entscheidungslinie des SAP kann als Diskussions- und Vergleichsgrundlage für die Restitutionspraxen anderer Staaten herangezogen werden.

International Law Reports

Decisions of international courts and arbitrators, as well as judgments of national courts, are fundamental elements of modern public international law. The International Law Reports is wholly devoted to the regular and systematic reporting in English of such decisions. It is therefore an absolutely essential work of reference. Volume 215 includes 2022 decision on admissibility and 2025 judgment on the merits of the European Court of Human Rights in Ukraine and the Netherlands v. Russia.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.
