The SIGI 2021 Regional Report for Africa provides regional analysis on how discriminatory social institutions, such as formal and informal laws, social norms and practices, continue to constrain women's empowerment and restrict their access to opportunities and rights. It gives new evidence on the impact of these discriminatory social institutions on three key dimensions of women's empowerment across the region: their physical integrity, their economic situation and their political voice, leadership and agency.

"This book focuses on the development of bilateral Jewish-Muslim relations in London and Amsterdam since the late-1980s. It offers a comparative analysis that considers both similarities and differences, drawing on historical, social scientific and religious studies perspectives. The authors address how Jewish-Muslim relations are related to the historical and contemporary context in which they are embedded, the social identity strategies Jews and Muslims and their institutions employ, and their perceived mutual positions in terms of identity and power. The first section reflects on the history and current profile of Jewish and Muslim communities in London and Amsterdam and the development of relations between Jews and Muslims in both cities. The second section engages with sources of conflict and cooperation. Four specific areas that cause tension are explored: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; antisemitism and Islamophobia; attacks by extremists; and the commemoration of wars and genocides. In addition to 'trigger events', what stands out is the influence of historical factors, public opinion, the 'mainstream' Christian churches and the media, along with the role of government. The volume will be of interest to scholars from fields including religious studies, interfaith studies, Jewish studies, Islamic studies, urban studies, European studies and social sciences as well as members of the communities concerned, other religious communities, journalists, politicians, and teachers who are interested in Jewish-Muslim relations"--

La condition de chômeur est marquée par l'obligation de recherche d'emploi, mais cette définition internationale dissimule des réalités hétérogènes. L'objectif de ce livre est d'explorer la diversité des significations du chômage : comment les chômeurs vivent-ils et interprètent-ils leur situation à Paris, à São Paulo et à Tokyo ? Le chômage a-t-il le même sens partout ? L'ouvrage retrace les manières dont le chômage est vécu par des hommes et des femmes de milieux sociaux et d'âges différents dans ces trois métropoles. Cette démarche comparative permet de repérer plusieurs échelles de variation: internationale, avec un univers de significations commun aux chômeurs des trois pays ; nationale, avec l'affirmation de modèles de référence spécifiques à chaque territoire; transnationale, avec des expériences qui se recoupent selon le sexe, l'âge et la catégorie sociale, quel que soit le pays. Fruit d'enquêtes par entretiens biographiques approfondis et d'une méthode inédite de comparaison internationale, ce livre renouvelle les connaissances sur le chômage d'une façon aussi originale que passionnante.
