Unpacking Collusion
Authors: Auyero Javier , Sobering Katherine 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter draws out common features of collusion across cases, highlighting the patterned character of this transactional world, as well as the mistakes and last-minute improvisations that abound in the clandestine connections between drug dealers and the police. It outlines three dimensions of police-criminal collusion, examining the common resources, practices, and processes at the heart of clandestine relationships. First, the clandestine relationships between state agents and drug dealers are founded on the exchange of both material and informational resources. Second, actors involved in collusive relationships engage in common practices. Finally, a set of relational processes explains patterns of these collusive interactions. This chapter concludes by considering the complex relationship between the police-criminal collusion and the violence that shakes the daily lives of marginalized populations.
Women and Climate Change
Authors: McKinney Laura , King Arianna 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Abstract: This chapter aims to contribute to discussions concerning the global oppression of women by highlighting the ways in which the status of women intersects with climate change throughout the world. Empirical research shows that women’s representation in political organizations and their incorporation into decision-making processes are associated with lower contributions to climate change and overall improvements in sustainability across nations. These findings suggest that the status of women has a substantive bearing on the environmental and ecological future of the planet. Other research shows that women’s role as primary producers of food for the household results in a disproportionate burden of climate change for women, who leverage myriad strategies to adapt to changing conditions. In reviewing past qualitative and quantitative findings on climate change and women, the chapters focuses on the West African nation of Ghana, arguing that development and environmental policies would benefit from greater sensitivity to the ways in which climate change shapes women’s social, political, and economic opportunities. In doing so, the chapter utilizes ecofeminist theories to highlight critical links to achieving greater gender equality across social, political, economic, and environmental lines.
The Honor Killing of Qandeel Baloch
Authors: Ahmed Sarah 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Qandeel Baloch, a controversial Pakistani social media star, was killed by her brother in 2016 in the name of “honor.” Using Qandeel’s honor killing as a case study, this chapter analyzes honor killings to gain a better understanding of what they are, their prevalence, and the factors attributable to them, particularly in South Asia. The chapter also examines the role that social media has played globally in giving marginalized populations a voice and platform online while simultaneously making them more vulnerable to cyberbullying, harassment, and, in Qandeel’s case, even death. Through contextual and empirical accounts, the chapter cautions readers to not think of honor killings as a faith-based problem confined to a particular geographical region but, rather, as a larger epidemic that is strongly rooted in a culture that persists, to a small extent, in developed countries as well.
Public Meets Private
Authors: Lopez Ana , Greene Michelle , Minniear Terri , Enrile Annalisa 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Japan is a conservative shame-based collectivist culture. Abuse of girls has been overt since the 1980s. In particular, fetishes such as the “schoolgirl” obsession plague the country. Privately, Japan has a history of incest, close family structures, and few home interventions to stop this abuse. As a masculine and patriarchal society in which men recently saw their status change during Japan’s last recession, sexual taboos have been both normalized and ignored in the public domain, resulting in fetish clubs, virtual reality dating sims, love hotels, and burusera shops. Groping of girls on packed trains has become so rampant in Japan that offenders now have their own name—“chikan.” The rise of technology has helped facilitate these fetishes, crossing borders and requiring a transnational understanding and response to address these issues. Movements such as the “stop chikan campaign” and gender-specific train cars are local remedies that have garnered international support.
Coping with Loneliness
Authors: Joosten-Hagye Dawn , Katz Anne 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter examines loneliness and how it affects health and well-being. It discusses how loneliness may lead to ill health but also how ill health may lead to feelings of loneliness. It reviews the evidence suggesting that loneliness is not only linked to overall morbidity and mortality in older adults but also a major predictor of psychological distress. With the global growth of the aging population, considerable research attention focuses on these issues in Europe, the United States, and Australia. The proportion of Australians aged 65 years or older is growing, with prevalence rates of loneliness among older adults as high as 30%. The impact of this is discussed in this chapter, as are recent developments, current conditions, historical trends, transnational feminism and advocacy, and how loneliness impacts the health and well-being of older women in Australia.
Repressive Policies and Women’s Reproductive Choices in Poland
Authors: Nowicka Wanda , Regulska Joanna 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter reviews the history of women’s reproductive rights in Poland, starting with early 20th-century mobilizations, the de facto legalization of abortion during the communist era, and the post-1989 dramatic shift. It points to the cyclical nature of these struggles and mobilizations and also to the fact that they remain unresolved and are contested by both pro-choice and pro-life movements. The chapter examines these confrontations and shows how the alliance between state and church has produced a set of legal and moral controls over women’s bodies and shifted the power to decide away from women. It reviews restrictive legislation that has contributed to women’s and their families physical and emotional suffering and points to doctors’ complacency. It concludes that despite years of relentless pro-life pressure that has resulted in a change of public attitudes, women continue to resist, organize, and mobilize; thus, the struggle over women’s reproductive rights continues.
Female Same-Sex Intimate Partner Violence in China
Authors: Luo Ming , Chiu Tuen Yi 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Employing a transnational feminist approach of intersectionality, this chapter uses China as a case in point to discuss how systems of the state, culture, family, and gender intersect to sustain the hegemonic system of heteronormativity and create a multiple interlocking predicament for victims of female same-sex intimate partner violence (FSSIPV). Given that most existing research has been conducted in the West, this chapter highlights the importance of contextualization by outlining the distinct sociocultural and institutional factors that shape the experiences of battered lesbians in China. It argues that battered lesbians in China are trapped in a “triple closet”—in the abusive intimate relationship, in the intergenerational family, and in the hegemony of heteronormativity in the society—where they are culturally, institutionally, and socially marginalized. An LGBT cultural-sensitive framework is proposed to identify, intervene, and prevent FSSIPV and to advocate for the rights of LGBT in China.
Global Violence of Women in Cults
Authors: Whitsett Doni , Rosow Natasha Post 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the experiences of women in high demand groups, also known as “cults.” Despite the chapter’s regional focus on North America, particularly the United States, this is a transnational phenomenon with satellite communities throughout the world. The chapter provides a brief history of cults in the United States and highlights the various abuses to which women are subjected, from psychological abuses such as medical neglect, loss of reproductive rights, separation from children, and attachment trauma to physical and sexual violence. The chapter also discusses legal obstacles to remedying these human rights violations, provides resources for assistance, and makes suggestions for advocacy.
Leave Me Alone
Authors: Prakash Nirmala , Singh Melissa Indera , Prevot Jennifer , Gopie Stephanie , Vorster Jade , Averkiou Peter 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter analyzes violence against women (VAW) and intimate partner violence (IPV) using contextual factors of intersectionality and familial, political, and sociocultural paradigms as the lens to analyze violence. Targeted evolution of social, cultural, and political frameworks is needed to elevate the status of women in Trinidad and Tobago, educate men and women about violence and IPV, and equip people with tools to break generational cycles of violence. The adverse health effects on women and children who experience violence and IPV are long-lasting and severe. Although the government of Trinidad and Tobago seeks to create policies that combat IPV, changes in attitudes and societal stigma have a stronghold. More grassroots campaigns, bold statements by pop culture, and subsequent sociocultural progression of attitudes toward VAW and IPV are needed to create a culture of consent during Carnival.
Sustainable Development Meets the Amazon
Authors: Bratman Eve Z. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractChapter 3 focuses centrally on the host of plans and policies for sustainable development conducted in Brazil beginning in the late 1980s, when the concept of sustainable development was introduced into the mainstream of global environmental politics. The chapter also elaborates on the contemporary major players of Amazonian sustainable development politics, focusing on the roles and historical formations of the Catholic Church, social movement groups, and activism in relation to various projects and socio-environmental struggles of the late 1980s and into contemporary times. Illustrative cases of Brazilian infrastructure and developmental priorities for the Amazon are discussed in order to illustrate the primacy of national integration and consolidation of state power—in other words, economic priorities with a strong modernization orientation—well beyond environmental protection and social equity considerations.
Introduction
Authors: Kalinowski Thomas 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter introduces the main argument and the methodology of the book. It discusses liberal and realist mainstream theories of international political economy and offers a critique of their deficient understanding of the domestic origins of international economic conflicts. These domestic origins are not primarily conflicting national egoisms but they are seen in the context of a competition between different models of capitalism that emerged as distinct reactions to the challenges of economic globalization. US finance-led, EU integration-led, and East Asian state-led models are not just growth strategies but include institutional and structural path dependencies. A combination of an international political economic understanding of the interdependence of different models of capitalism, with a sound understanding of their distinct internal dynamics found by studies of comparative capitalism (CC), is a very promising research path to understand the origins of international conflict and cooperation.
Conclusions
Authors: Kalinowski Thomas 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This concluding chapter summarizes the findings of this book and revisits the six hypotheses introduced in Chapter 1, in the light of the empirical investigation. It then turns to a discussion of open questions and future research agendas. Finally, it summarizes the main practical conclusion of this book. To achieve international cooperation, neither grand visions of political leaders nor technocratic fine-tuning of the machinery of international institutions are enough. Substantial improvements in international cooperation are difficult, because they need to go hand in hand with institutional and structural changes at the domestic level. The good news is that this book hopefully helped to demystify the origins of international conflicts. Conflicts are neither the result of an anarchic international system nor the ‘natural’ consequence of conflicting national egoisms, but can be traced to concrete deficits of the domestic models of capitalism. These capitalist models are dynamic and internally contested, which gives hope for the possibility of international cooperation.
Perception, Reliability, and Other Minds
Authors: Avramides Anita 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
It has been suggested that we can come by our knowledge of what others think and feel through perception. The idea has been worked out in different ways by different philosophers. In this chapter I consider the perceptual account proposed by Fred Dretske. In section one I outline Dretske’s account, and highlight a particular feature of it. In section two I set out an adequacy condition for any account that proposes to be an account of our mental life. In section three I consider Dretske’s account in the light of this adequacy condition and argue that Dretske’s account does not meet this condition. I conclude that while Dretske holds that we get our knowledge of other minds in much the same way that we get our knowledge of bodies in the world around us, I argue that the account cannot be extended to give us knowledge of other minds because there is a crucial asymmetry here that must be acknowledged.
Who Decides? Legal Changes to Facilitate Inclusion of Participants with Impaired Cognition in Research
Authors: Wright Megan S. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter describes and analyzes US law, policy, and guidelines regulating research involving participants with impaired cognition. Regulatory silence, vagueness, or non-uniformity about who is legally authorized to consent to research involving such participants may lead to their inappropriate inclusion in or exclusion from research. In order to promote respectful, beneficent, and just research, this chapter suggests legal reforms to better identify who can and should decide whether persons with cognitive impairments will participate in research. While research advance directives are one way to identify the appropriate decision-maker, this chapter argues for statutory clarity about who is a legally authorized representative; guardianship reform; and institutionalization of supported decision-making.
Disability, Vulnerability, and the Capacity to Consent
Authors: Patterson Stephanie , Block Pamela 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Does having a diagnosis of intellectual or cognitive disability automatically render a person vulnerable and unable to give informed consent to participate in research? Discussions over a proposed change in United States Federal Human Subjects language brought these issues into keen focus. People who are identified as having a cognitive or mental disability may be no more at risk for abuse in participating in research than non-disabled people and may have equal ability to provide informed consent. We assert that a focus on the ability to consent and power to resist manipulation is a more helpful dividing line than a disability or impairment category. We ask the question: How do we assure personal autonomy when the mechanisms to establish capacity are discriminatory and in violation of a person’s civil rights.
Political-Philosophical Analysis of Suicide Tourism
Authors: Sperling Daniel 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter explores some of the major political-philosophical justifications for and against state interference in suicide tourism. These are divided into five main arguments from the perspective of the state in which assisted suicide is illegal: the idea of state sovereignty; global justice and moral particularism; cosmopolitanism and moral universalism; inter-state moral pluralism; and the notion of common ownership. While these arguments do not necessarily rely on the morality of suicide tourism, their overall evaluation reveals that there are prima facie good reasons against state intervention or for the adoption of a neutral view towards permissive countries. The discussion in this chapter concludes that although there are relatively weak justifications for state intervention in suicide tourism, there are strong justifications for non-intervention.
Empirical Analysis of Suicide Tourism
Authors: Sperling Daniel 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter provides an empirical analysis of suicide tourism. It includes extracts of interviews with key stakeholders in the field of assisted suicide from around Europe. In many countries, there have been legal and public proceedings discussing end-of-life issues (notably assisted suicide), accompanied by varied media coverage of stories of suicide tourism. In some cases, for example Canada, suicide tourism was a social phenomenon that the legislator wanted to prevent while legalizing assisted suicide. In others, especially the UK and Germany, suicide tourism was referred to by opponents or supporters of proposed laws to legalize or criminalize assisted suicide. This chapter reflects on the fact that, despite these proceedings and the many arguments raised by campaigners to change existing prohibitions against assisted suicide in countries of origin, the law in these countries has not changed, and in some cases its position on assisted suicide has become more prohibitive.
Epilogue
Authors: Sperling Daniel 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This epilogue argues that, as suicide tourism has become more popular and freely discussed in the media and in public policy circles, the coverage is not always presented in a positive light. Since such a practice is being exposed selectively, reference is made to two categories of cases. The first involves ‘celebrities’ or public figures. The second includes unfamiliar ‘ordinary’ people who suffer from grave illnesses or experience exceptional states of affairs. While suicide tourism enjoys increasing publicity and is present in public discourse and policy-making in many Western countries these days, reference to it damages its reputation and underlines a strong message that it is an unjust, expensive, eccentric procedure that has the potential for much exploitation with minimal safeguards to protect the most vulnerable people in society, especially at times and in situations when they need such protection to the full.
‘Shipwreckful’ Afterlives
Authors: Oliver Jennifer H. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This chapter examines the dynamics of shipwreck as played out in Renaissance travel writing. Through a reading of the work of Jean de Léry and the lesser-known Jean-Arnaud Bruneau de Rivedoux, it shows how in eyewitness or recently passed-on first-hand accounts of shipwreck, very real events were marked and shaped by the conventions established earlier in the century by allegorical, fictional and polemic shipwreck texts. But the extreme conditions of (actual) shipwreck place great strain on these otherwise persistent tropes, and both Léry’s and Bruneau’s Histoires generate new incarnations of once-familiar figures. Léry, for example, offers both a conventional narration of the storm at sea modelled on Psalm 107 and Erasmus’s ‘Naufragium’, and, later, several rearranged versions that point to the limitations of proverbial, classical, and biblical commonplace in such extraordinary circumstances. These texts, both written by Reformists intent on foregrounding their empirical approach, present the most forceful vindications of sea travel of all the texts studied here. While they describe vividly and often distressingly the suffering endured by seafarers and the victims of shipwreck, they also emphasise the value of such experience, and its power to affect even those who are spectators to it from dry land.
The Neo-Humean Status Quo
Authors: Williams Neil E. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractChapter 2 presents the status quo of contemporary systematic metaphysics, detailing the core elements of the dominant neo-Humean metaphysic. The neo-Humean metaphysic is the foil against which the powers metaphysic is developed. Working through the more familiar framework helps readers appreciate metaphysical commitments they might have whilst demonstrating how a metaphysic is developed from a fundamental ontology. Popular neo-Humean accounts of possibility, properties, laws of nature, and causation are presented. The penultimate section of the chapter runs through some of the common objections to those aspects of the neo-Humean metaphysic presented in the previous sections.
Administration by Algorithm?
Authors: Veale Michael , Brass Irina 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThis chapter first explains the types of machine learning systems used in the public sector, detailing the processes and tasks that they aim to support. It then looks at three levels of government—the macro, meso, and the street-level—to map out, analyse, and evaluate how machine learning in the public sector more broadly is framed and standardized across government. It concludes that, while the use of machine learning in the public sector is mostly discussed with regard to its ‘transformative effect’ versus ‘the dynamic conservatism’ characteristic of public bureaucracies that embrace new technological developments, it also raises several concerns about the skills, capacities, processes, and practices that governments currently employ, the forms of which can have value-laden, political consequences.
How to ‘See’ Great Policy Successes
Authors: Compton Mallory E. , Hart Paul ‘t 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
In this chapter, the editors make the case for positive policy evaluation. They survey classic and contemporary public policy and governance research and debates to demonstrate how they are slanted towards fault-finding, the language of disappointment, failure and crisis. They reflect on the contributions and the limitations of this state of the art and argue that it needs to be complemented by a more sustained and systematic conceptualization and empirical study of highly (and perhaps improbably) successful public policy endeavours. This chapter ends by outlining the analytical protocol used in this project, and debating the methodological strengths and limitations of the brand of positive policy evaluation applied in this volume.
The Transformation of Investment Advice
Authors: Klass Jennifer L. , Perelman Eric L. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
It is not surprising that the investing public seeks accessible, low-cost, and reliable advice. This chapter discusses how digital, or robo-advisors have triggered a dramatic upheaval in how investment advice is formulated, delivered, and applied on an ongoing basis to actively managed retail investment accounts. The availability of digital advice is promoting the important policy objective of expanding access to retirement advice to a growing segment of underserved and undersaved Americans. In addition to discussing the socio­economic and technological factors that are accelerating the growth of digital investment advisors, the chapter also discusses how such advisors fit within the existing legal and regulatory framework governing retail investment activities. It concludes with a look ahead anticipating how digital advice will continue to disrupt the financial services industry.
