A publisher for whom I wrote an article has sublicensed it to another publication without my permission. What can I do?

Whether you can take any action depends on your contractual arrangement with the original publisher – in particular whether you have granted your publisher the right to license your work to third parties. If you have not done so, you may have a claim for copyright infringement against the current publisher and against the publisher which authorised the re-publication.
