Sinopse

"Forced Marriage Worldwide" presents a groundbreaking examination of a critical human rights crisis affecting millions globally, primarily women and girls who are coerced into unwanted marriages. Through extensive research spanning five continents and drawing from over 200 survivor interviews, the book unveils the complex interplay of cultural, social, and legal factors that perpetuate this form of gender-based violence.

 
The work stands out for its comprehensive approach, combining statistical analysis with powerful survivor narratives to create a complete picture of this pervasive issue. The book progresses methodically through three main themes: global prevalence patterns, survivor impact, and legal frameworks. It reveals how forced marriage intersects with broader issues such as poverty, educational access, and human trafficking, while examining various forms of coercion from emotional manipulation to physical violence.

 
Particularly compelling is its exploration of psychological impacts on survivors and the effectiveness of different intervention strategies across various cultural contexts. What makes this work especially valuable is its practical orientation, offering detailed guidance for professionals while maintaining scholarly rigor.

 
The book bridges theory and practice by providing frameworks for policy development and community engagement strategies, while addressing complex debates about cultural relativism versus universal human rights. Through case studies from regions including South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Western diaspora communities, it demonstrates how coordinated international response and strong legal frameworks are essential for combating this global challenge.

Beyond Quantity - Research with...

Jens Schröter, Andreas Sudmann,...

How do artificial neural networks and other forms of artificial intelligence interfere with methods and practices in the sciences? Which interdisciplinary epistemological challenges arise when we think about the use of AI beyond its dependency on big data? Not only the natural sciences, but also the social sciences and the humanities seem to be increasingly affected by current approaches of subsymbolic AI, which master problems of quality (fuzziness, uncertainty) in a hitherto unknown way. But what are the conditions, implications, and effects of these (potential) epistemic transformations and how must research on AI be configured to address them adequately?

Ancient Japan - Foundations of a...

Rolf Hedger

The early history of Japan was shaped by three key periods—the Kofun, Yamato, and Asuka—each playing a crucial role in laying the foundations of the Japanese nation.  
The Kofun Period, named after the massive burial mounds built for elite rulers, saw the rise of warrior aristocracy and the early consolidation of power by influential clans. This era transitioned into the Yamato Period, during which the Yamato clan emerged as Japan’s first ruling dynasty, establishing the imperial lineage that continues to this day.  
The Asuka Period marked a profound transformation as Buddhism, Confucian governance, and Chinese cultural influences began shaping Japan’s political and social structures.  
The Taika Reforms introduced centralized administration, strengthening the authority of the emperor.  
These three periods together set the stage for Japan’s evolving identity, blending indigenous traditions with foreign influences to create a distinct and enduring civilization.
