The refugee crisis which hit the European Union and its member states during 2015-16 was just one in a series of recent crises, but perhaps the most critical for the EU's resilience. This book shows how policymakers in the EU polity have tried to come to terms with it. To explain how they reacted to the crisis domestically and jointly at the EU-level, the study relies on an original method to analyze political processes. It argues that the policy-specific institutional context and the specific crisis situation, defined in terms of asymmetrical problem and political pressure, largely shaped the crisis response. The authors suggest that the way in which the refugee crisis was managed has resulted in conflicts between member states, which have been further exacerbated in subsequent crises and will continue to haunt the EU in times to come. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Dam safety is central to public protection and economic security. Aging portfolios of large dams, increasing populations, and rapid urbanization require the development of legal and institutional frameworks for dam safety that can secure water supplies for hydropower generation, improve food security through irrigation, and enhance resilience to floods and droughts.This book provides a systematic review of the legal and institutional frameworks for dam safety in 51 countries with varying economic, political, and cultural circumstances. These case studies inform a range of legal, institutional, technical, and financial options for developing frameworks for sustainable dam safety assurance that apply to a variety of different portfolio and country-specific circumstances. The analysis employs a regulatory mix approach to develop a continuum of alternative dam safety assurance options contingent upon the country context and portfolio characteristics. It informs decision makers about the different options’ merits and identifies the necessary supporting capacity to assist them in systematically developing interventions to enhance dam safety. By identifying the essential elements and accounting for portfolio characteristics, this tool can help in enhancing regulatory regimes and identifying gaps in existing legal and institutional frameworks.

Indigenous Archives analyzes the modes through which young Guatemalan Mayas in Los Angeles and Guatemala make sense of and respond to transnational structures of settler colonialism. Drawing on in-depth analysis of cultural production and interviews with Guatemalan Maya youth and young adults, Floridalma Boj Lopez examines how Mayas in diaspora craft and circulate narratives about their experiences across borders. Citing a more active practice of “archives in formation,” Boj Lopez depicts Indigenous archives as a cross-generational, collective conversation rooted in memory, survival, and cultural expression where Indigenous cultural practices and artifacts move, adapt, and assert their presence in the contemporary. Indigenous Archives invites readers to consider Indigeneity as a process, lived experience, and historical perspective, rather than as a static identity, and shows how extending analysis across borders is critical to understanding Latinidad and Indigeneity.

Written in alternating voices, Jorge Guzman’s Job-Boj is a captivating novel that explores the progression from melancholy to happiness, or vice versa. The delicate interplay between a light-hearted narrator and a brooding, introspective one draws the reader in to question identity. Are they the same man? Two different periods from the same life? Or are they two separate people? The reader is left to judge. While the novel is a superb masterclass in structure and innovation, Job-Boj is a “rich and absorbing entertainment.”

"Blytungt, rappt och roligt om kvinnlig styrketräning" Dagens Nyheter

"Rör sig mellan gymgolv och tanketradition, med en personlig, påläst och stilistiskt säkert ton. / / Så lyckas Martinsson fördjupa och komplicera den samtida diskussionen kring träning." Expressen

"En fascinerande och tänkvärd berättelse om vår kroppslighet och den tillvaro som formar oss." VLT

Idag är styrketräning en helt självklar träningsform för svenska kvinnor. Men fram till nyligen var det en tabubelagd syssla, och om den skulle utföras skulle det helst inte ske utanför hemmet. Att som kvinna tävla i sporten tyngdlyftning var otänkbart - inte förrän år 2000 var damer välkomna att ställa upp i OS.

Knäböj är en berättelse om kvinnor och styrketräning. Det handlar om hur den enkla strävan att själv få bygga sin kropp och lyfta tungt har motarbetats och misstänkliggjorts, och om det mod och kreativitet som krävts för att trotsa den. Med ett personligt och kunnigt tilltal, med inspiration från skönlitteraturen och forskningen, skriver journalisten Sara Martinsson den kvinnliga styrketräningens idéhistoria, från strong women och föreningslivets eldsjälar till dagens träningsinfluencers.

Sara Martinsson är frilansjournalist och tyngdlyftningstränare. Hon skriver om musik, kultur och träning i bland annat DN och Arbetet.

Favorittröjan ligger i tvätten, strumporna korvar sig, det finns bara hallonyoghurt och det är krääääkäckligt! Varför ska syrran jämt få bästa platsen i soffan?! Pappa ska ta på jackan, inte mamma, och JAG VILL INTE GÅ TILL FÖRIS!

I Hela havet stormar möter läsaren en rad olika småbarnsfamiljer som fastnar i vanliga konflikter, som syskonbråk, tjafs, tjat, sammanbrott vid hämtning och lämning på förskolan och att inte vilja äta eller klä på sig. Bara att komma iväg hemifrån kan kännas som ett dagsverke för en sliten förälder.

De två författarna, psykologer och själva föräldrar, resonerar med värme och kunskap kring hur stormar i familjen kan hanteras. De visar hur olika omständigheter påverkar familjelivet – som antalet barn, bonusbarn, om det är en eller fler föräldrar i familjen – och belyser med stark igenkänning hur ens goda föresatser som förälder ofta krockar med vardagens krav och utmaningar. Genom att nyfiket utforska vad som ligger bakom ett barns protester och pröva nya förhållningssätt ges nycklar till förändring – och hopp om ett lugnare familjeliv.

Modern lifestyle demands consistent supply of energy for our daily need and comfort. To encounter global demands for energy and to permit for diminution of fossil fuels, there is an urgent need for efficient, sustainable and clean energy sources. Carbonaceous material such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, mesoporous carbon, carbon nanofibres and their composites are extensively studied material. They are playing important role to alternative clean energy sources. This book reviews the roadmap of various form of carbonaceous materials used in several energy devices and provides guideline of future perspective.
