Nicole George: Between Rights and Rightfulness, Gebunden

Klappentext

In Between Rights and Rightfulness, Nicole George investigates how gender violence is regulated in Pacific Island countries, the factors that impede regulatory effectiveness, and women's own efforts and expertise in decreasing gender violence. Drawing on feminist institutional theory and comparative fieldwork conducted in Fiji, Bougainville and with Kanak women in New Caledonia, George assesses how gender violence is enabled and constrained by regulations created within and beyond the state. Importantly, the book engages directly with the women to understand how they interpret, navigate, and potentially challenge aspects of the regulatory complex that impact their security.
