joins or a tight cast off can be disheartening and ruin the look of
a knitted piece. Neat Knitting Techniques provides a toolkit of
essential skills and solutions to common issues, helping you knit
in a neater way. Step-by-step photos, diagrams and straightforward
instructions illustrate each technique, and three full knitting

The papers collected in this volume highlight the complex dynamic
relationship between citizenship - as membership status - and the
constitutional law which provides the cornerstone of all polities.
It shows the many different ways in which we must use
constitutional law in order fully to understand how one becomes a
citizen, and what the meaning of citizenship is. Edited by a
leading authority in the field, this volume contains the key works
which cover national, transnational and international aspects of
the topic, and the book provides a particular focus on how
constitutional law constructs and upholds the range of citizenship
rights. With an original introduction by the editor, this timely
collection will be a valuable source of reference for students,
academics and practitioners interested in citizenship and
constitutional law.
This book is the first comprehensive examination of the citizenship
regimes of the new states that emerged out of the break up of
Yugoslavia. It covers both the states that emerged out of the
initial disintegration across 1991 and 1992 (Slovenia, Croatia,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and
Macedonia), as well as those that have been formed recently through
subsequent partitions (Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo). While
citizenship has often been used as a tool of ethnic engineering to
reinforce the position of the titular majority in many states, in
other cases citizenship laws and practices have been liberalised as
part of a wider political settlement intended to include minority
communities more effectively in the political process. Meanwhile,
frequent (re)definitions of these increasingly overlapping regimes
still provoke conflicts among post-Yugoslav states. This volume
shows how important it is for the field of citizenship studies to
take into account the main changes in and varieties of citizenship
regimes in the post-Yugoslav states, as a particular case of new
state citizenship. At the same time, it seeks to show scholars of
(post) Yugoslavia and the wider Balkans that the Yugoslav crisis,
disintegration and wars as well as the current functioning of the
new and old Balkan states, together with the process of their
integration into the EU, cannot be fully understood without a
deeper understanding of their citizenship regimes. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Citizenship Studies.

What does it mean for the Sun to call Shami Chakrabarti 'the most
dangerous woman in Britain' or the Daily Mail to label Nicola
Sturgeon 'the most dangerous wee woman in the world'? What, really,
does it mean to be a dangerous woman? This powerful anthology
presents fifty answers to that question, reaching past media
hyperbole to explore serious considerations about the conflicts and
power dynamics with which women live today. In Dangerous Women,
writers, artists, politicians, journalists, performers and
opinion-formers from a variety of backgrounds - including Irenosen
Okojie, Jo Clifford, Bidisha, Nada Awar Jarrar, Nicola Sturgeon and
many more - reflect on the long-standing idea that women,
individually or collectively, constitute a threat. In doing so,
they celebrate and give agency to the women who have been dismissed
or trivialised for their power, talent and success - the women who
have been condemned for challenging the status quo. They reclaim
the right to be dangerous.
At a time of rising populism and debate about immigration, leading
legal academic Jo Shaw sets out to review interactions between
constitutions and constructs of citizenship. This incisive
appraisal is the first sustained treatment of the relationship
between citizenship and constitutional law in a comparative and
transnational perspective. Drawing on examples from around the
world, it assesses how countries' legal, political and cultural
processes help to determine the boundaries of citizenship. For
students and academics across political, social and international
disciplines, Shaw offers an accessible response to some of the most
pressing international questions of our age.

The teaching of contract law has traditionally been concerned with
examining and explaining the complex doctrinal rules of contract
developed by statute and common law. Recently, however, law
teachers have begun to see the advantages of teaching the subject
from a more theoretical standpoint. The study of the theory of
contract law has blossomed in the last 25 years to the point where
it is now accepted that for students to be given a proper
understanding of the rules of contract law, teachers of the subject
must introduce them to its theoretical literature. Textbooks and
casebooks have, with one or two notable exceptions, failed to
recognize this change. By contrast, this new book takes as is
starting point the need to mix theoretical approaches with the
study of cases and statutes and thereby offers students a richer,
more varied and more interesting selection of materials than can be
found in any other comparable book on the subject. The materials
are held together by a lucid and critical commentary provided by
the authors, who have also written notes on further reading and
examstyle questions to conclude each section. ;This book is

In today's world all claims tend to be founded on or justified by
'rights', be they political, social, economic or private. The
ubiquity of this discourse has led to a blurring of the definition
of what exactly constitutes rights, not to mention a blurring of
the boundaries between different bundles of rights, their sources
and the various institutional practices through which they are
'enjoyed' or asserted. Particular attention needs to be paid to the
category of 'citizenship rights'. Exactly how are they
distinguished from human rights? This volume presents some of the
most important reflections and studies on citizenship rights, both
past and present. The contributions provide both thorough
description and incisive analysis and place the question of
citizenship rights into a wider historical, social and political
perspective. As such, it offers a timely introduction to the
current debates surrounding the rights and duties of both citizens
and non-citizens alike, with a focus on the many ways in which
citizenship is contested in the contemporary world. The volume is
invaluable to scholars and students of citizenship studies,
political and critical theory, human rights, sociology, urban
development and law.
This book examines the electoral rights granted to those who do not
have the nationality of the state in which they reside, within the
European Union and its Member States. It looks at the rights of EU
citizens to vote and stand in European Parliament elections and
local elections wherever they live in the EU, and at cases where
Member States of the Union also choose to grant electoral rights to
other non-nationals from countries outside the EU. The EU's
electoral rights are among the most important rights first granted
to EU citizens by the EU Treaties in the 1990s. Putting these
rights into their broader context, the book provides important
insights into the development of the EU now that the Constitutional
Treaty has been rejected in the referendums in France and the
Netherlands, and into issues which are still sensitive for national
sovereignty such as immigration, nationality and naturalization.
