Jack Traynor, "General Eoin O'Duffy: The Political Life of an Irish Firebrand" English | ISBN: 1476693269 | 2024 | 241 pages | PDF | 8 MB Most of the prominent figures from Ireland's revolutionary generation have been endlessly profiled and commemorated but the controversial General Eoin O'Duffy remains a pariah. Despite reaching the heights of leadership in the republican movement during the Irish revolutionary period-and subsequently becoming a key state-builder in early independent Ireland as head of the national police force-O'Duffy's legacy retains a whiff of sulphur. It has been tarnished by his controversial political career in the 1930s, including his leadership of the fascistic Blueshirts and his pro-Franco involvement in the Spanish Civil War.  Ana Ballesteros-Pena, "Gender Equality Behind Bars: A Feminist Approach to Penality Policies Worldwide" English | ISBN: 3032083540 | 2026 | 357 pages | PDF | 6 MB Gender Equality Behind Bars represents the first analysis of prison and immigration detention policies, broadly identified as penality policies, within the context of gender policy studies. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it provides a roadmap for better understanding penality policy from feminist and gendered perspectives. An introductory chapter examines the paradoxical relationship between gender equality and life behind bars for women. This is followed by ten in-depth case-studies on gender and penality policies in a unique line-up of countries in the Global North (Denmark, Poland, Portugal, Canada, the UK and Spain) and the Global South (Zimbabwe, Uruguay and Peru). The comparative conclusion identifies cross-national and cross-sectoral trends and proposes a research agenda for a gendered approach to penality policies. Issues including discrimination against women prisoners and women migrant detainees, gender-bias in prison environments and potential for gender transformation "behind bars" are covered throughout the book. Combining theoretical and empirical evidence, Gender Equality Behind Bars will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, gender studies, anthropology and criminology, as well as those interested in penal policies, criminal justice and punishment.  Stefano Osella, "Gender Diversity in Public Law: Between Recognition and Control " English | ISBN: 0198935048 | 2026 | 240 pages | PDF | 5 MB What is the significance of sex characteristics and gender identity in public law? Why are these personal attributes important for the legal relationship between the person and public authorities? What happens when people do not conform to the assumptions about sexual anatomy and gender identity that are presupposed in the law? Gender Diversity in Public Law explores these questions through an extensive analysis of jurisdictions across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. By integrating comparative law with gender and constitutional studies, the volume examines how gender diversity is both recognized and regulated in different legal systems.
