A New European Parity-Democracy Sex Equality Model and why it won't Fly in the United States
This Article argues that over the past years, in Europe, some instruments
and policies dealing with gender equality both at the
national and supra-national level reflect a move from a narrow antidiscrimination
frame to a broader model that tackles the underparticipation
and disempowerment of women in public and private
life as a deficiency of democracy and a problem of citizenship. By analyzing
specific parity measures that have been adopted recently in
some European Member States, such as electoral and corporate board
gender quotas in publically held companies, the Article posits that a
new understanding between parity democracy, sex equality and antidiscrimination
law is evolving and explains why a combination of
legal, historical, cultural, ideological and political factors make it unlikely
that a similar development will take place in the United States
A construction of lattice chiral gauge theories
Path integration over Euclidean chiral fermions is replaced by the quantum
mechanics of an auxiliary system of non--interacting fermions. Our construction
avoids the no--go theorem and faithfully maintains all the known important
features of chiral fermions, including the violation of some perturbative
conservation laws by gauge field configurations of non--trivial topology.Comment: 74 pages, uuencoded, gz compressed PS fil
