Why did "equality" become prominent in European societies based on hierarchy during the Enlightenment? What does "equality" imply for societies, politics or legal systems? The contributors explore concepts of equality from the perspectives of history and law and draw on the idea that practices of comparing were essential when it came to imagining others as equal, fighting discrimination, or scandalising social inequalities. Among others, Lynn Hunt, Helmut Walser Smith and David Keane investigate visionary practices in revolutionary France, the collection of data on the poor in 19th-century Germany, the claims raised under the minority regime of the League of Nations, and the anti-discrimination politics of the United Nations and India.

"Theories of how status characteristics and performance expectations function have developed from the work of many investigators working both collaboratively and independently. The first ideas in this line of work appear in Joseph Berger's (1958) unpublished dissertation (discussed in Chapter 2 here) and early theoretical work was largely developed by Berger, his colleagues, and students. Since that beginning, for several decades now, scholars both connected and unconnected to the original group have used these ideas in many fields: social psychology, organizations, education, gender, ethnic studies, military sociology, and others. The newest research often develops links between ideas of status/expectation processes and other theoretical perspectives, as shown in this volume"--

Essay from the year 2002 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7 (A-), University of Southampton (Department of Philosophy), course: Philosophical Theory, language: English, abstract: Humanity went through centuries of slavery, Nazism, neglecting of women rights and discrimination of disabled. All those issues, now regarded as unquestionably wrong in the Western Hemisphere, were often based on arguments of manifested differences between people. Even though people are still as different in characteristics, endowment and lifestyle as they ever have been, the attitude of many societies towards those topics drastically changed over the last centuries. There must be some significant reasons to regard humans now as fundamentally equal although they are dissimilar in so many ways. The question is still a fascinating one: Is it therefore justified to treat all people equally and is that a goal worth achieving? It is legitimate to consider people equal in certain areas whilst unequal in others. I will argue that there are good reasons to treat people equally as they are equal in some respects and treat them unequally because they are unequal in others but also to treat people equally although they are unequal. However for this purpose my essay will be organized in three sections. In the first passage I will defend equality of rights, equality before the law and equality in politics, backed up by the principle of Equality of Respect or Universal Humanity. Starting of with equality of resources in the second part, I will also examine equality of happiness and welfare. In the third paragraph the debate over equality of opportunity and equality of a basic living standard marks the end of my discussion. [...]

Race Unequals: Overseer Contracts, White Masculinities, and the Formation of Managerial Identity in the Plantation Economy is a re-imagining of the plantation not as Black and White, but in shades of White male identity. Through an examination of employment contracts between plantation owners and their overseers, and the web of public and private law that surrounded them, this book challenges notions of a monolithic White male identity in the antebellum South. It considers how race provided White men access to the land and enslaved labor that were foundational to the plantation economy, but how the wealthiest of those men used contracts, public law, and plantation management schemes to limit the access points by which overseers, the first managerial class in the United States, could achieve upward mobility as both White people and as men. In navigating the legal and social parameters of their employment contracts, overseers negotiated a white masculinity that formed their managerial identity. This managerial identity carried the imprint of white supremacy necessary to preserve inequities on the plantation, and perhaps in our modern workplaces as well.

Canadians are told that provincial premiers wield considerable sway. Critics decry premiers as autocrats and dictators, while supporters label them as altruists and great leaders. In Newfoundland and Labrador the premier is expected to be the province's overlord, a patriotic defender of provincial interests, and the decision-maker who brokers competing policy priorities. But does a premier have as much power over government policy decisions as is popularly believed? First among Unequals, a detailed enquiry into the administration of Premier Danny Williams and the first year of his successor Kathy Dunderdale, suggests that the power of the premier is exaggerated by the media, critics, political parties, the public service, and the leaders themselves. With perspectives from economics, education, geography, health policy, history, and political science, contributors explore how dominant Williams was and test theories to show how power operates in provincial governments. They examine politics and government through case studies of the healthcare sectors, education, the fisheries, rural and regional development, hydroelectric projects, and the labour market. Focusing on an era of political populism and rapid economic growth, First among Unequals reasons that there is not enough evidence to suggest that the Premier's Office - even with someone like Danny Williams at the helm - independently shapes public policy.

The accumulation of surplus petrofunds by some Arab countries, far exceeding the present absorptive capacities of their economies, has given rise to the idea of a major new development effort in sub-Saharan Africa, financed by Arab surpluses and supported by OECD technology and expertise. The guiding principle in the idea of a tripartite partnership is that, given a proper allocation of responsibilities among the three regional participants, cooperation would benefit all parties. The Arab countries, it is argued, would gain experience in management and in the acquisition of technology as a result of increased transactions with Western industrialized countries. Funds from the Arab countries would catalyze accelerated development in sub-Saharan Africa and would provide a desirable alternative to OECD-intermediated flows of capital and trade between Africa and the Arab world; this could help reduce Africa's dependence on the OECD countries for technology, expertise, financing, and markets. And finally, the OECD members would benefit politically from an effective development effort involving their response to initiatives taken by the South, and would gain economically by increasing their exports as African and Arab absorptive capacities rose and by continuing to exercise management functions in the context of development. To further explore the potential of this triangular cooperation, a group of experts from Africa, the Arab Middle East, Western Europe, and North America held a conference at the Rockefeller Foundation conference center in Bellagio, Italy, in May 1980. In their discussions--the basis of this book--they identified and analyzed a wide range of problems and issues involved. They concluded that the central issue is whether trilateral projects of appropriate design for the African setting can be identified and implemented through arrangements that ensure an equitable and effective distribution of responsibilities, risks, and benefits among the participants,
