Around the world, we see a 'participatory turn' in the pursuit of gender equality, exemplified by the adoption of gender quotas in national legislatures to promote women's role as decision-makers. We also see a 'pluralism turn', with increasing legal recognition given to the customary law or religious law of minority groups and indigenous peoples. To date, the former trend has primarily benefitted majority women, and the latter has primarily benefitted minority men. Neither has effectively ensured the participation of minority women. In response, multicultural feminists have proposed institutional innovations to strengthen the voice of minority women, both at the state level and in decisions about the interpretation and evolution of cultural and religious practices. This volume explores the connection between gender parity and multicultural feminism, both at the level of theory and in practice. The authors explore a range of cases from Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, in relation to state law, customary law, religious law, and indigenous law. While many obstacles remain, and many women continue to suffer from the paradox of multicultural vulnerability, these innovations in theory and practice offer new prospects for reconciling gender equality and pluralism.

France is notorious for the underrepresentation of women in its halls of politics. Having been unsuccessful at implementing quotas for female candidates--unlike several of their European neighbors--France passed a gender parity law in 2000 that required all political parties to field an equal number of male and female candidates. Yet in the 2002 elections the main political parties fell well short of nominating equal numbers of male and female candidates. How did parity replace gender quotas as the preferred way to achieve greater representation for women in elected office? Why have these gender-based measures been embraced by some parties and not others? And, why do parties sometimes fail to implement quotas and parity? Gender Quotas, Parity Reform, and Political Parties in France considers this transition from quotas to parity, providing a history of French women's rights and the French electoral process, as well as an examination of the roles of the Socialist and Gaullist political parties. Compelling and clearly written, Opello has created a work that bridges an existing gap in literature about contemporary France and will appeal to scholars of gender, politics, and France.

This review was established to provide recommendations to the Prime Minister to ensure Indigenous training and employment services are properly targeted and administered to connect unemployed Indigenous people with real and sustainable jobs. In particular, the review was to consider creating sustainable employment outcomes and programme effectiveness and costs. This report presents the findings and recommendations of the review, which took an 'end-to-end' approach to addressing disadvantage and promoting parity - including prenatal services and empowering communities, as well as building employer demand, employment and relocation incentives, and breaking the welfare cycle.

This book provides a classical physics-based explanation of quantum physics, including a full description of photon creation and annihilation, and successful working models of both photons and electrons. Classical field theory, known to fully describe macroscopic scale events, is shown to fully describe atomic scale events, including photon emission and annihilation. As such the book provides a ‘top-down’ unification of electromagnetic and quantum theories. Contents:Classical ElectrodynamicsProperties of Radiation FieldsTransmitting Biconical AntennasReceiving Biconical AntennasClassical-Based Quantum TheoryQuantized Energy ExchangesMatched Multipolar SourcesSpontaneous EmissionAbsorption, Emission, EntanglementsEpilogue Readership: Students and researchers in atomic physics, theoretical physics and electrodynamics. Keywords:Photon;Spontaneous Emission;Absorption;Entanglement;Electron;KinematicKey Features:No other book provides a classical physics-based explanation of quantum physics, including photon creation and annihilation, photon structure and behavior, and electron structureDescribes a zero-Q radiation field with the electromagnetic and kinematic properties of a photon. The continuum field solution that describes a photon enables us to construct a viable electron model sufficient to create photon exchanges and a photon model that, in turn, is sufficient to understand why photons diffract and reflect light as a wave but are created and annihilated as a particle
