"Immigration Judicial Reviews: An Empirical Study" by Robert Thomas and Joe Tomlinson is a comprehensive analysis of the immigration judicial review process in the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber). The authors provide stories and statistical evidence to illustrate the complexity and variability of immigration cases, as well as the high rate of refusal of permission on the papers and the lengthy duration of the process. The book also discusses criticisms of the system, such as poor-quality representation and template sets of grounds for judicial review. Overall, the book emphasizes the importance of independent judicial scrutiny in immigration decisions.

The publication of Priscilla Galloway's Truly Grim Tales in 1995 played a significant role in the evolution of the Canadian literary fairy tale. The stories from the collection are innovative both on a linguistic and thematic level. By focusing on selected tales from this collection, the present paper aims at exploring the representation of children and childhood in Priscilla Galloway's idiosyncratic stories. These revisionist tales reinterpret complex issues such as gender, sexuality and/or childhood in accordance with the socio-cultural-historical context. Thus, the construction of childhood and portrayal of children is connected to the cultural, social and historical frame of reference and can generate further research on an interdisciplinary level.

State actors in these accounts are just as diverse, including official agencies at the local, provincial, and central government levels, but also government-organized NGOs and mass organizations like the Women's Federation. The bulk of the book's chapters are empirical case studies that employ the "evolutionary governance" perspective and various configurations of the soft-hard approaches to make sense of changes in interactions between the state and social groups over time. Detailing the plethora of adjectives that have been used to describe and distinguish authoritarianism in China - for example, "fragmented" and "resilient" authoritarianism - Tsai makes a cogent argument for taking a longer-term view of state-society interactions.
