Abstract [en]

What are the similarities between pornography and climate change? The answer given by Max Waltman in a book about pornography is that both represent major problems of our times that society must intervene against. Both relate to social dominance and multiply disadvantaged groups that will necessitate political and legal challenges in the future. Waltman claims that in light of the need for efficient and effective policy responses, the insights from a study of legal challenges to pornography might gain. He has conducted such a study providing empirical evidence of legal challenges undertaken in three diverse democracies. His message is that we need to grant real, substantial, and effective legal power to members of those groups most affected if the harms of pornography are to be successfully addressed. The book is unique being a politico-legal study. It is of relevance for lawyers, socio-legal scholars as well as for political scientists.
