Exponential Inequalities : Equality Law in Times of Crisis
This thoughtfully edited volume explores the operation of equality and discrimination law in times of crisis.It aims to understand how existing inequalities are exacerbated in crises and whether equality law has the tools to understand and address this contingency.Experience during the COVID-19 crisis shows that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for 'exponential inequalities' related to racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, and ableism.Yet, the field of equality law (which is meant to be addressing such discrimination or inequality) has had little immediate relevance in mitigating these exponential inequalities.This is despite the fact that countries like the UK have a rather recent and state-of-the-art legislation in the field, namely the Equality Act 2010.Exponential Inequalities offers readers an understanding of how these inequalities came to be and how crises such as the global pandemic, the climate emergency, or the economic downturn, can exacerbate an already untenable situation.It illuminates both the structural and the conceptual, as well as the practical and doctrinal difficulties currently experienced in equality law, and discusses whether or not equality law even has the tools to both understand and then address this contingency.Written by a team of internationally recognized experts, Exponential Inequalities provides a comparative perspective on the functioning of equality laws across a range of contexts and jurisdictions and represents an essential read for scholars and policy makers alike.

Political Identification in Europe : Community in Crisis?
In recent years, Europe has been buffeted by a series of contested crises that seemingly undermine and overwhelm its institutions and ideals: the economic shocks of 2008, the open disputes over migration, the political uncertainty generated by Brexit and the inroads made by various populist and nationalist parties into government.These interconnected trends have exposed the myth of a cohesive European community.Instead, what can be witnessed is the polarization, fragmentation and displacement of the European public sphere.At the very least, both the perceptions and realities of these crises and the reactions to them have disrupted established patterns of identity and instituted new ones.The emergent discourses of austerity, security, populism and anti-populism, for example, are all rooted in a transforming political landscape.In this context, a re-examination of what it means to belong in and to Europe today is required.By presenting a rich and wide-ranging collection of the latest interdisciplinary scholarship that carefully unpacks the complex dimensions of European identification, this book considers the contemporary concerns and possibilities for political identification in Europe.Written by scholars from across the continent, this volume presents an enriching insight into the European socio-political condition.Each chapter offers a distinct perspective and detailed analysis of a different aspect of ‘identity’.Together, these chapters constitute an invaluable resource for approaching the challenges facing Europe today.

Community Development for Times of Crisis : Creating Caring Communities
This book explores the intersection of community development and local capacity building as a basis for effective disaster mitigation and the alleviation of suffering in times of crisis.Beginning with the Community Development section, the process, context, and methods for community, engagement, and development can be viewed from different structural and logical approaches.This section explores some of the more relevant historical arguments, as well as more contemporary examinations.The second section looks at Critical Human and Community Considerations and sheds light on some of the key concepts that are often overlooked (poverty, race, inequality, social justice, mental health, social division) when framing community responses to disaster.The third section focuses on Fundamental Elements of Caring Communities.This section explores the importance, practical, and measurable impacts of social support, empathy, inclusion, and conflict resolution in creating effective and caring community responses.Finally, the last section focuses on practice and brings together research and theory into applied programming, examples, and evidence from on-the-ground efforts to establish caring communities that respond to local needs in times of crisis and beyond. By addressing these objectives, this book provides a more complete understanding of the essential role that community can play in disaster mitigation.Doing this will provide a better focus for ongoing research endeavors, and program and policy initiatives at the community level that seek to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural and other disasters.As a result, this book contributes to wider and more sustainable development of our communities beyond disasters, while furthering dialog among community scholars and practitioners.

Civility in Crisis : Democracy, Equality and the Majoritarian Challenge in India
This book critically examines the relationship between civility, citizenship and democracy.It engages with the oft-neglected idea of civility (as a Western concept) to explore the paradox of high democracy and low civility that plagues India.This concept helps analyse why democratic consolidation translates into limited justice and minimal equality, along with increased exclusion and performative violence against marginal groups in India. The volume brings together key themes such as minority citizens and the incivility of caste, civility and urbanity, the struggles for ‘dignity’ and equality pursued by subaltern groups along with feminism and queer politics, and the exclusionary politics of the Citizenship Amendment Act, to argue that civility provides crucial insights into the functioning and social life of a democracy.In doing so, the book illustrates how a successful democracy may also harbour illiberal values and normalised violence and civil societies may have uncivil tendencies. Enriched with case studies from various states in India, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of political science, political philosophy, South Asian studies, minority and exclusion studies, political sociology and social anthropology.
