This edited collection focuses on migrant women and their families, aiming to study their migration patterns in a historical and gendered perspective from early modernity to contemporary times, and to reassess the role and the nature of their commitment in migration dynamics. It develops an incisive dialogue between migration studies and gender studies. Migrant women, men and their families are studied through three different but interconnected and overlapping standpoints that have been identified as crucial for a gender approach: institutions and law, labour and the household economy, and social networks. The book also promotes the potential of an inclusive approach, tackling various types of migration (domestic and temporary movements, long-distance and international migration, temporary/seasonal mobility) and arguing that different migration phenomena can be observed and understood by posing common questions to different contexts. Migration patterns are shown to be multifaceted and stratified phenomena, resulting from a range of entangled economic, cultural and social factors. This book will be of interest to academics and students of economic history, as well as those working in gender studies and migration studies.

In recent years, there have been a number of new developments in what came to be known as the "Capital Theory Debates". The debates took place mainly during the 1960s as a result of Piero Sraffa's critique of the neoclassical theory according to which the prices of factors of production directly depend on their relative scarcities. Sraffa showed that when income distribution changes, there are many complexities developed within the economic system impacting on prices in ways which are not possible to predict. These debates were revisited in the 1980s and again more recently, along with a parallel literature that has developed among neoclassical economists and has also looked at the impact of shocks on an economy.

Για περισσότερες από πέντε δεκαετίες ο Κωνσταντίνος Ντόκος πρόσφερε με υπομονή και καλοσύνη τις γνώσεις του σε εκκολαπτόμενους και ώριμους ιστορικούς. Η μακρά εμπειρία του στην υστερομεσαιωνική και στη νεότερη ιστορία -ιδίως σε εκείνη του λατινοκρατούμενου ελληνισμού- έχει αφήσει γόνιμους καρπούς, όπως γίνεται φανερό από το πλήθος των μαθητών του και την ποιότητα των επιστημονικών δημοσιεύσεών τους. Με τον παρόντα τόμο τιμάται ο ακαδημαϊκός δάσκαλος, ο συνάδελφος, ο συνεργάτης, ο άνθρωπος.

Η αγροτική μεταρρύθμιση των ετών 1917-1923 μαζί με τη Μικρασιατική καταστροφή και τις πληθυσμιακές συνέπειές της, αποτελούν μείζονες τομές στην ιστορία της σύγχρονης Ελλάδας. Για την ύπαιθρο, ειδικότερα, κυριολεκτικά όλα άλλαξαν. Για αυτό το λόγο οι αναφορές στην αγροτική μεταρρύθμιση είναι πυκνές στην ελληνική ιστοριογραφία αλλά ουδέποτε αναλύθηκαν οι οικονομικές, κοινωνικές και πολιτικές συνθήκες που την προκάλεσαν. Παράλληλα, ελάχιστες ήταν έως τώρα οι πληροφορίες για τους μηχανισμούς της υλοποίησής της. Η ιστορική διερεύνηση του πως προέκυψε η απόφαση για την εφαρμογή της Αγροτικής Μεταρρύθμισης που νομοθετήθηκε για όλη την Ελλάδα το 1917, του πως συστήθηκε ο μηχανισμός εφαρμογής της, ποιοι μετασχηματισμοί πυροδοτήθηκαν στην ελληνική ύπαιθρο, και τι εντέλει επιλύθηκε ως προς το αγροτικό ζήτημα της χώρας, αποτέλεσαν τα βασικά σημεία που μελετήθηκαν.

In Bulgaria the share of secondary production in GDP remained constantly low between c. 1870–1910. To explain the country's exceptionally weak growth, we use endogenous and unified growth theory. Gerschenkron and Palairet blame a self-sufficiency-oriented peasant economy for rising labour and raw material costs in industry, which destroyed the competitiveness of Bulgarian manufacturing and prevented industrialisation.

The paper argues that son preference resulted in gender-based discriminatory practices that unduly increased mortality rates for females at birth and throughout infancy and childhood in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Greece. The relative numbers of boys and girls at birth was extremely high and under-registration of females cannot on its own explain this result.
