The University of Chicago Press Prohibition the Constitution and States Rights
Book SynopsisColorado's legalization of marijuana spurred intense debate about the extent to which the Constitution preempts state-enacted laws and statutes. Colorado's legal cannabis program generated a strange scenario in which many politicians, including many who freely invoke the Tenth Amendment, seemed to be attacking the progressive state for asserting states' rights. Unusual as this may seem, this has happened beforein the early part of the twentieth century, as America concluded a decades-long struggle over the suppression of alcohol during Prohibition. Sean Beienburg recovers a largely forgotten constitutional debate, revealing how Prohibition became a battlefield on which skirmishes of American political development, including the debate over federalism and states' rights, were fought. Beienburg focuses on the massive extension of federal authority involved in Prohibition and the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, describing the roles and reactions of not just Congress, the presidents, and the Supreme Court but political actors throughout the states, who jockeyed with one another to claim fidelity to the Tenth Amendment while reviling nationalism and nullification alike. The most comprehensive treatment of the constitutional debate over Prohibition to date, the book concludes with a discussion of the parallels and differences between Prohibition in the 1920s and debates about the legalization of marijuana today.

Yale University Press Democracy and Executive Power Policymaking
Book SynopsisA defense of regulatory agencies’ efforts to combine public consultation with bureaucratic expertise to serve the interest of all citizens.Trade Review“[Rose-Ackerman] stresses that the real challenge is . . . to establish a public law that enhances the democratic accountability of bureaucrats and political appointees. . . . This book is a valuable advance in specificity with respect to principles and instruments [of executive policymaking]. . . . It will be of equal value to public lawyers and other social scientists interested in government.”—Giacinto della Cananea, French Yearbook of Public Law“Makes an important case in favour of a more developed administrative law systems underlying a balanced participatory decision-making framework. . . . The book invites deep reflections on how administrative law can be refined in this sense and calls on comparative legal scholarship to analyse and address how those questions have been dealt with across the globe . . . [and] is to be read and discussed widely, both by theorists and practitioners of administrative law and by social planners looking to enhance the accountability of executive decision-making.”—Pieter van Cleynenbreughel, British Association of Comparative LawWinner of the 2022 Gustav Ranis International Prize for Best Book, sponsored by Yale MacMillan Center“Susan Rose-Ackerman has produced a valuable and insightful work that considers endemic issues of policy making accountability by the executive and the role of public participation in executive rule making in four countries.”—Paul Craig, St John’s College“Given the precarious state of popular trust in government across the globe, this exceptional exploration of how four advanced democracies pursue legitimacy in the bureaucratic implementation of regulatory law makes an invaluable contribution.”—Peter M. Shane, author of Madison’s Nightmare: How Executive Power Threatens American Democracy“Capstone of Susan Rose-Ackerman’s influential writings about comparative administrative law, her remarkable exploration of the democratic accountability of administrative governance in France, Germany, the UK and the US brings fresh and important understanding to the interactions among forms of government, the rule of law, and the contemporary urgency of maintaining democratic institutions.”—Peter Strauss, author of Administrative Justice in the United States“Democracy and Executive Power reflects decades of Susan Rose-Ackerman’s profound thinking about how the rule of law, accountability, democracy, and participation relate to how most law is made in the world’s four most influential legal systems. Her argument is at once pro-bureaucratic, pro-legal, and pro-democratic. The book is essential reading for those seeking to understand and reform executive rule-making in any democracy.”—Jeff King, University College London

University of Wales Press The Legal History of Wales
Book SynopsisThis new edition of a foundational text of Welsh legal history traces the various strands of law in Wales from its beginnings to the present day, identifying and assessing the importance of the native Welsh, Roman, and English influences to Wales''s legal social identity. Wales has been served by a variety of legal systems and laws over the last two millennia. These include the civil law of Rome, which was to be the basis of the laws of much of modern Europe, and the English common law, which was to govern much of the English-speaking world. Thomas Glyn Watkin shows how the Welsh have adapted to and adopted the legal traditions they have encountered, and he assesses the importance of this inheritance for the future of modern Wales within Europe and the rest of the world.Trade Review"This authoritative, scholarly, and very readable book captures Wales's legal identity through the course of history. It is a remarkable achievement, both in terms of depth and scope, and is essential reading not only for those interested in the nation's legal past, but for anyone wishing to understand the context for the legal and constitutional debates of contemporary Wales."--R. Gwynedd Parry, Swansea University 'This is an excellent book, which fills a definite gap. There is no comparable over-arching study of Welsh legal history from the earliest times to the present. The breadth of knowledge necessary to write such a book is rarely to be found in one individual.' Gwen Seabourne, Senior Lecturer, University of Bristol School of Law "This pioneering volume, clearly the result of very wide-ranging research and reading over many long years, fills a distinct gap...The breadth of scholarship is impressive...Professor Watkin evaluates with impeccable scholarship. The volume is provided with extremely full, detailed and genuinely helpful footnote references. There is also a most helpful glossary of the legal terms. This unique over-arching volume must be warmly welcomed as the first comprehensive account of Welsh legal history from pre-Roman times to the beginning of the twenty-first century. It will be warmly welcomed by professional academics and interested layman alike and will undoubtedly stand the test of time, hopefully inspiring further research in this rather neglected, complex field of study."J. Graham Jones, Planet'The Legal History of Wales is a thorough and comprehensive account of the legal history of Wales starting with the period prior to the Roman conquest and ending with the Government of Wales Act to bring us up to the present day. It is a fascinating work that provides a unique account of both law from a Welsh perspective and Wales from a legal perspective.'Nathan Gibbs, The Cambrian Law Review, Vol. 38Table of Contents1.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers The Legal Foundations of Public Administration
Book SynopsisThe third edition of this highly respected textbook introduces students of public administration to the practical issues of administrative law. While useful to law school students, it is most relevant to public management students. The presentation provides a concise foundation to the history and theory of administrative law, rule making, and judicial decisions. The most important issues in administrative law are includedmeaningful issues for present and future administrators. A larger number of recent cases and other up-to-date information will be found in the book in order to make the student aware of the kinds of legal problems likely to be encountered in public agencies. One or two cases illustrate each problem at hand, rather than discussing numerous arcane court decisions and technicalities of legal procedure, in order to sketch the broad contours of the present law.Trade ReviewRecent cases and other developments since the last edition 15 years ago provide a substantial update to Barry and Whitcomb's introductory administrative law text, useful to law students as well as those studying public management. The authors focus not on a comprehensive reading of the law but rather on the kinds of legal problems that administrators are most likely to be confronted with. * Reference and Research Book News *Table of ContentsPart 1 Table of Cases Part 2 Preface Part 3 Acknowledgments Part 4 Part One: The Development of Adminstrative Law Chapter 5 Administrative Authority and Law Chapter 6 Origin and Development of the Administrative Process Part 7 Part Two: Legislative and Judicial Controls over the Administrative Process Chapter 8 Delegation of Power Chapter 9 Judicial Review of Administrative Determinations Part 10 Part Three: The Internal Administrative Process Chapter 11 Investigatory Power Chapter 12 Rules and Rule Making Chapter 13 The Right to be Heard and Adjudicatory Policy Making Chapter 14 Informal Activity and the Exercise of Discretion Part 15 Part Four: Remedies Chapter 16 Remedies Against Improper Adminstrative Acts Chapter 17 Open Government Part 18 Appendix A: Source Materials in Administrative Law Part 19 Appendix B: Administrative Procedure Act Part 20 Appendix C: The Constitution of the United States of America Part 21 Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd German Radioactive Waste
Book SynopsisThis book presents the universal issue of radioactive waste management from the perspective of the German legal system, analysing how lawmakers have responded to the problem of nuclear waste over the course of the last seventy years. In this book, Robert Rybski unwraps and explains the perplexing legal and social issues related to radioactive waste. He takes readers through the entire life-cycle': from the moment that radioactive material is classified as radioactive waste, through to the period of interim storage, and right up to its final disposal. However, this last step in radioactive waste management (that of final disposal) has not yet been achieved in Germany, or anywhere in the world, and has been the subject of hefty public debate for dozens of years. As a result, the book analyses the most recent regulations in place to enable final disposal. This book will be of interest to energy policy experts, academics and professionals who work in the area of nuclear enTable of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: The nuclear energy sector and its by-products Chapter 2: Storage and disposal of radioactive waste Chapter 3: Selection of a proper site for final disposal of radioactive waste Concluding remarks

Taylor & Francis Ltd Legal Pluralism in Action
Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking book contributes to, and refocuses, public debates about the incorporation of plural approaches into the English legal system. The book specifically advances the recent, largely theoretical, discussions of Sharia legal practice by examining a secular method of dispute resolution as practised by the Kurdish Peace Committee in London. Following migration to the West, many Kurds still adhere to traditional values and norms. Building on these, they have adapted their customary legal practices to create unofficial legal courts and other forms of legal hybridisation. These practical solutions to the challenges of a pluralistic life are seen by Kurdish communities in the UK as applicable not only to British and transnational daily life, but also as a training ground for institutions in a possible future Kurdish state. The study provides a substantive evidence base using extensive ethnographic data about the workings of the Kurdish Peace Committee, examining detailed case sTrade Review'Dr Tas’ path-breaking empirical study of dispute processing in Britain’s Kurdish community underpins his superb book. Using case studies, ethnographic observation and rich interview material, and setting everything in historical and cultural context, he illustrates how legal pluralism can be an everyday reality for ethnic minority groups, and why state law so often does not help to solve their problems. This is essential reading for anyone interested in problems of regulating multicultural societies today.' Roger Cotterrell, Queen Mary, University of London, UK 'This insightful study illustrates the beneficial role of community cohesion, based on non-state law, in the midst of London. The rich and unique experience of the Kurdish Peace Committee, without sliding into religious dogmatism or patriarchal authoritarianism, proves the strength of living law today, engaging people’s power to settle disputes in the shadow of the state.' Werner Menski, SOAS, University of London, UK 'A ground breaking ethnographic study that provides a unique perspective into alternative dispute resolution processes and mechanisms among Kurds in the diaspora. Many have written on the history and political aspirations of Kurdish people in the past, but this is the very first study in the English language that not only challenges prevailing ways of thinking about the emergence of ethno-nationalist subjectivities and demands, particularly those dealing with the Kurdish identity, but also introduces a whole new set of methodological tools, a new epistemology and a refreshing socio-legal perspective that have been long wanting in the field of Kurdish Studies.' Yüksel Sezgin, Syracuse University, USA 'This timely book is an important contribution and offers a rare insight into the unique and hybrid system with which the diasporic Kurdish community in London deals with conflict resolution.'

New York University Press Contraceptive Risk
Book SynopsisThe story of Depo-Provera joins the national struggle over the drug''s FDA approval to the state legal issues raised by its contraceptive and criminal justice uses.Depo-Provera is known as an injectable hormonal birth control method, but few are familiar with its dark and complicated history. Depo-Provera was tested on women since the mid-1960s without their informed consent until it was FDA-approved in 1992, but never FDA-approved as chemical castration for male sex offenders.Contraceptive Risk is William Green''s landmark study of Depo-Provera. Based on a fascinating combination of archival materials and interviews, the book is framed as three interconnected stories told by Judith Weisz, who chaired the FDA''s Public Board of Inquiry on Depo-Provera, a scientific court; by Anne MacMurdo who brought a products liability suit against Upjohn, the drug''s manufacturer, for the deleterious side effects she suffered from the drug''s use; and by Roger Gauntlett, an UpjTrade ReviewBy far the most thorough account of the Depo-Provera story to date. Though we may never get clear answers about whether Depo-Provera has done more harm than good over the past few decades, this well-researched history will be of great interest to those in the public health and women and gender studies fields, as well as many women contemplating the use of Depo-Provera themselves. -- Judy Norsigian, co-author and co-founder of Our Bodies Ourselves and the Boston Women’s Health Book CollectiveWilliam Greens fascinating tale of the use and misuse of Depo-Provera highlights the complex and faulty world of & risk management, the competing powerful interests at stake in drug approval and use, and the misuse of contraceptive drugs in controlling reproduction and sexual deviance. -- Karen L.

New York University Press Vaccine Court
Book SynopsisTrade Review"The book is a case study of one of many complex and obscure tasks that government performs." * Choice *"Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in contemporary vaccine hesitancy and refusal, and, more broadly, in questions about the intersection of science, law, and public policy in democratic societies." * Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences *"Vaccine Court provides historical, political, and social context to our countrys unprecedented attempt to resolve the conflict between those certain of vaccine harms and the science that may or may not support their claims. In a compelling and sympathetic manner, Kirkland explores the murky netherworld between science, where truths are often determined by decades of study, and court, where truths are determined after a few weeks of testimony." -- Paul A. Offit, MD,author of Deadly Choices: How the Anti-Vaccine Movement Threatens Us All"In her highly original and meticulously researched book, Anna Kirkland takes us into the little-known but highly contested federal court system responsible for not just compensating individuals and families injured by vaccines, but also adjudicating competing claims of risk, science, and expertise. Vaccine Court exposes the myriad ways law must simultaneously build consensus and create dissent. Skillfully presented with detailed analysis and compelling examples, this book is a powerful vindication of the state as imperfect, indispensable to efforts to ensure public health, and in dire need of new ways to create greater access and equity for all." -- Jennifer Reich,University of Denver"Drawing on rich original data, Kirkland examines how the specialized vaccine court addresses enduring tensions between science and law, popular beliefs and expertise, and fair process and desired outcomes, and how the right to sue is both an inspiration and a constraint on social movements. Vaccine Court is timely, fascinating, and important." -- Charles Epp,The University of Kansas

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract
Book SynopsisLandmark Cases in the Law of Contract offers twelve original essays by leading contract scholars. As with the essays in the companion volumes in this series, each essay takes as its focus a particular leading case, and analyses that case in its historical or theoretical context. The cases range from the early eighteenth- to the late twentieth-centuries, and deal with an array of contractual doctrines. Some of the essays call for their case to be stripped of its landmark status, whilst others argue that it has more to offer than we have previously appreciated. The particular historical context of these landmark cases, as revealed by the authors, often shows that our current assumptions about the case and what it stands for are either mistaken, or require radical modification. The book also explores several common themes which are fundamental to the development of the law of contract: for instance, the influence of commercial expectations, appeals to 'reason' and the significance of particular judicial ideologies and techniques.Trade ReviewThe work presents a refreshing take on the cases examined. -- Anthony Lo Surdo * Australian Banking and Finance Law Bulletin *Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract is a worthwhile collection of essays to have in any library, private or public…one is kept in suspense over the nature of the essay about to be encountered, and the delightful spread ranges from the historical to the doctrinal to the theoretical-more than enough to satisfy anyone interested in the law of contract generally or specifically. -- Goh Yihan * Singapore Journal of Legal Studies *...the particular interest of the essays lies in the background historical, legal, economic and social material which the authors uncover. That a case is a landmark would, one might think, mean that it had received so much attention that there is not much new to say about it. But this is far from being so, and the fascinating background material provided in the book is almost always an intriguing pleasure to read. -- David Campbell * Journal of Legal History *Table of Contents1 Coggs v Barnard (1703) DAVID IBBETSON 2 Pillans v Van Mierop (1765) GERARD MCMEEL 3 Carter v Boehm (1766) STEPHEN WATTERSON 4 Da Costa v Jones (1778) WARREN SWAIN 5 Hochster v De La Tour (1853) PAUL MITCHELL 6 Taylor v Caldwell (1863) CATHARINE MACMILLAN 7 Smith v Hughes (1871) JOHN PHILLIPS 8 Foakes v Beer (1884) MICHAEL LOBBAN 9 Hongkong Fir Shipping Co v Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd, The Hongkong Fir (1961) DONAL NOLAN 10 Suisse Atlantique Société d'Armament SA v NV Rotterdamsche Kolen Centrale (1966) ROGER BROWNSWORD 11 Reardon Smith Lines Ltd v Yngvar Hansen-Tangen, The Diana Prosperity (1976) MICHAEL BRIDGE 12 Johnson v Agnew (1979) CHARLES MITCHELL

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Ethical Business Practice and Regulation: A
Book SynopsisThis book explains the concepts of Ethical Business Practice (EBP) and Ethical Business Regulation (EBR), a new paradigm in compliance and enforcement based on behavioural science and ethics. EBR provides the basis for an effective relationship between a business and its regulators, resulting in better outcomes for both. EBR is attracting extensive attention from regulators and businesses around the world. The UK Government’s 2017 Regulatory Futures Review draws on EBR as the foundation for its policy of ‘regulatory self-assurance’. EBR draws on findings from behavioural science, responsive regulation, safety and business and integrity management to create a practical and holistic approach. Examples include the open culture that is essential for civil aviation safety, the Primary Authority agreements between regulators and national businesses, and feedback mechanisms provided by market vigilance systems and sectoral consumer ombudsmen. This book provides an essential blueprint for sustainable business and effective future regulation.Trade ReviewFinally, a new paradigm in compliance and regulation that gets to the heart of what truly matters--values-based and ethically-based leadership. In the 21st century who you are, how you behave, and what you stand for are destined to become the new frontiers of competitive advantage. Success in the future will be all about the culture the leaders create. -- Richard Barrett, Chairman of the Barrett Values Centre and Founder of the Academy for the Advancement of Human ValuesThis book makes an insightful case for business to benefit from being values-driven rather than focussed on short-term profits, and for promoting an open, just culture rather than a blame culture. It also convincingly contends that while business regulators must take closing businesses and deterrence seriously, deterrence can also have counterproductive effects. This is a book rich in lessons about how we can all learn how to build more ethical corporate cultures. -- John Braithwaite, Australian National UniversityIn this long overdue, much needed and wonderfully practical book, Christopher Hodges and Ruth Steinholtz have provided a guide for both business practitioners and regulators that lays out the rationale, a mindset and a roadmap for a more realistic, more honest and ultimately more productive working relationship between these two powerful societal players. The book remains remarkably readable and engaging while providing a solid foundation of insights—from both science and real world experience—into the factors that encourage as well as discourage ethical human behavior. The central argument at the book’s heart is the simple yet powerful idea that deterrence and adversarialism have not and will not serve to build the trust-based relationships between the public and the private sectors upon which a productive and mutually beneficial functioning of our economy relies—and that cooperation and a mutual learning orientation will. Although their book targets regulators and business practitioners, its lessons provide a critical key for beginning to address the wide-ranging challenges at the heart of our world’s current larger spiral of distrust, fear, resentment and retaliation. Hodges and Steinholtz have done us all a great service. -- Mary C. Gentile PhD, Author of Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What’s Right and Professor of Practice, University of Virginia Darden School of BusinessAfter every institutional failure, the cry goes up for more ethical behaviour from more ethical individuals. But where are such people to be found? How would you identify them? Where do they come from—and what militates against them? This book sets itself the ambitious goal of analysing what ethical businesses look like and how they behave. It doesn’t dodge the hard questions or promise simplistic solutions but dares to look fearlessly at the most important questions of our age. -- Margaret Heffernan, Author of Wilful Blindness: Why we ignore the obvious at our perilHodges and Steinholtz have done a great service to business. Ethical Business Practice and Regulation is a must-read for all leaders eager to drive sustainable social and economic growth by infusing their organisation with value and integrity. The authors' inspirational vision of a better business world - indeed a better society - can be realised with this practical guide. -- Roswitha Reisinger, General Counsel Europe, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Europe Ltd.There is a clear and present danger that the economic regulation of utilities becomes ever more invasive and prescriptive. Such a path is undesirable, limiting the discretion and authority of senior management and resulting in a much reduced focus on the needs of the customer…Chris Hodges' Ethical Business Regulation (EBR) concept has provided the Scottish water industry an opportunity to break out of this pattern of ever decreasing circles. EBR has offered an unique opportunity to explore, constructively and collaboratively, the thorniest of regulatory issues and to do the right thing for customers, our environment and our society. -- Alan Sutherland, CEO, Water Industry Commission for ScotlandRegulation is fundamentally about how people in organisations actually behave. This book pulls together the evidence on “what works” in getting the right results. There is a wealth of material here for smart regulators who are pursuing effectiveness through actual outcomes, not compliance with rules for its own sake. -- Richard Thomas CBE, Information Commissioner (2002-9), Committee on Standards in Public Life (2012-17)In a time where ethical behaviour is increasingly under attack by various governments around the world, Hodges and Steinholz provide a very timely guide to the importance of the culture of compliance in organizations. Hodges and Steinholz consider the essence of ethical and compliant behaviour asking, “Why do people observe rules? Why do people break them”? The writers take the reader through a well-organized and compelling journey from biological and physiological influences through to the need for governing agencies and businesses to interact on a relationship of trust. This is critically important because, as the writers clearly articulate in chapter 7, people will not come forward to report ethical breaches if they feel they will be putting themselves at undue personal risk. I truly believe Ethical Business Practice and Regulation: A Behavioural and Based Values Based Approach to Compliance and Enforcement is not only essential reading for ethics and compliance professionals, but rather everyone who is engaged in business on some level.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Governing (Through) Rights
Book SynopsisTaking a critical attitude of dissatisfaction towards rights, the central premise of this book is that rights are technologies of governmentality. They are a regulating discourse that is itself managed through governing tactics and techniques – hence governing (through) rights. Part I examines the 'problem of government' (through) rights. The opening chapter describes governmentality as a methodology that is then used to interrogate the relationship between rights and governance in three contexts: the international, regional and local. How rights regulate certain identities and conceptions of what is good governance is examined through the case study of non-state actors, specifically the NGO, in the international setting; through a case study of rights agencies, and the role of experts, indicators and the rights-based approach in the European Union or regional setting; and, in terms of the local, the challenge that the blossoming language of responsibility and community poses to rights in the name of less government (Big Society) is problematised. In Part II, on resisting government (through) rights, the book also asks what counter-conducts are possible using rights language (questioning rioting as resistance), and whether counter-conduct can be read as an ethos of the political, rights-bearing subject and as a new ethical right. Thus, the book bridges a divide between critical theory (ie Foucauldian understandings of power as governmentality) and human rights law.Table of ContentsPart I: Government (Through) Rights 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Ombudsman in the Modern State
Book SynopsisOmbudsmen are a global phenomenon. They are also a critical part of the public law frameworks of modern liberal democracies. This is the first edited collection to examine the place of the ombudsman in the modern state. It brings together key international scholars to discuss current and future challenges for the Ombudsman institution and the systems of government within which they operate. The book is international in scope with authors heralding from most continents - Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa, Germany, and Austria. This global analysis is both in-depth and expansive in its coverage of the operation of Ombudsmen across civil and common law legal systems. The book has two key themes: - The enduring question of the location and operation of Ombudsmen within public law systems in a changing state, and - The challenges faced by Ombudsmen in contemporary governance. This collection adds to the public law scholarship by addressing a common problem faced by all avenues of public law review – the evolving nature of modern public administration.Table of Contents1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Evolution from Strict Liability to Fault in
Book SynopsisGradually, the law of tort has shifted away from a strict-liability approach to one where fault predominates. This book charts important case law documenting this shift. It seeks to understand how and why it occurred. Given that the Rylands v Fletcher decision is typically seen as a prime exemplar of strict liability, it focusses particularly on that case, as part of the historical development of tort law. It considers the intellectual arguments made in favour of strict liability, and for fault-based liability. Having done so, it then focusses on particular areas of the law of tort, including nuisance, defamation and trespass. It is somewhat anomalous that though most would view these as examples of torts of strict liability, fault considerations have become prominent in their application. This presents an uneasy compromise, where torts that are notionally strict in nature are infused with fault considerations, often through exceptions or defences. This book advocates for further development in the law of tort to better reflect a primarily fault-based approach to liability, at least in the common law. This would make the law of tort more coherent.Trade ReviewOf great interest for comparatists … it is guaranteed to provide a useful and interesting companion for any scholar working comparatively with the torts at issue. -- Andrew Bell * Journal of European Tort Law *Table of ContentsPART I STRICT LIABILITY AND LEGAL HISTORY 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Internet Service Provider Liability for Copyright
Book SynopsisThis book critically evaluates the EU regulatory framework for the liability of host Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for copyright and trade mark infringements and provides a cluster of novel recommendations for its improvement. The book recommends the imposition of a duty of care to host ISPs to curb the dissemination of unauthorised works and counterfeit goods, the ascription of a transparency obligation to host ISPs towards their users, and the establishment of a supervisory authority for host ISPs. Host ISPs have facilitated the dissemination of content amongst users and the purchase of goods online, enabling copyright holders and brand owners to attract a greater audience for their works and goods. However, their services have attracted a high number of copyright and trade mark violations, too. Neither Article 14 of the e-Commerce Directive nor Article 17 of the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive provide a solid response to the issue of host ISPs' liability. This book is a valuable resource for researchers in IT and IP law and offers a new perspective for resolving online IP disputes.Table of ContentsIntroduction I.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Public and Private Enforcement of Securities
Book SynopsisThis book undertakes unique case studies, including interviews with participants, as well as empirical analysis, of public and private enforcement of Australian securities laws addressing continuous disclosure. Enforcement of laws is crucial to effective regulation. Historically, enforcement was the province of a government regulator with significant discretion (public enforcement). However, more and more citizens are being expected to take action themselves (private enforcement). Consistent with regulatory pluralism, public and private enforcement exist in parallel, with the capacity to both help and hinder each other, and the achievement of the goals of enforcement in a range of areas of regulation. The rise of the shareholder class action in Australia, backed by litigation funding or lawyers, has given rise to enforcement overlapping with that of the government regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The ramifications of overlapping enforcement are explained based on detailed analysis. The analysis is further bolstered by the regulator’s approach to enforcement changing from a compliance orientation to a “Why not litigate?” approach. The analysis and ramifications of the Australian case studies involve matters of regulatory theory and practice that apply across jurisdictions. The book will appeal to practitioners, regulators and academics interested in regulatory policy and enforcement, and the operation of regulators and class actions, including their interaction.Table of Contents1.

Berrett-Koehler Publishers Understanding Government Contract Law
Book SynopsisA “back-to-basics” guide to government contract law Finally! A plain-English presentation of the basic legal concepts of government contract law for professionals at any stage in their careers. Until now, anyone in the procurement field has had to trudge through dense and complex texts written in hard-to-follow “legalese” in their quest to understand procurement law. With Understanding Government Contract Law, they finally have a source of clear and concise explanations of the legal principles involved in government contract law, written by an authority on the subject. Part I of the book focuses on the unique problems facing each of the parties to a government contract - the contract officer and the contractor - and offers insight to the many roles played by the contract officer in the procurement process. Part II describes why and how the government contract is different from commercial contracts. Part III explores the ins and outs of a government contract lawsuit. The author presents key legal principles of government contract law by: • Stating a legal principle • Specifying where in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) that principle is found • Offering the rationale, context, and any public policy behind the principle • Describing, with case law examples, situations where the government applied the law correctly and situations where the government came to that conclusion incorrectly

Manchester University Press The Politics of Freedom of Information: How and
Book SynopsisWhy do governments pass freedom of information laws? The symbolic power and force surrounding FOI makes it appealing as an electoral promise but hard to disengage from once in power. However, behind closed doors compromises and manoeuvres ensure that bold policies are seriously weakened before they reach the statute book.The politics of freedom of information examines how Tony Blair's government proposed a radical FOI law only to back down in fear of what it would do. But FOI survived, in part due to the government's reluctance to be seen to reject a law that spoke of 'freedom', 'information' and 'rights'. After comparing the British experience with the difficult development of FOI in Australia, India and the United States – and the rather different cases of Ireland and New Zealand – the book concludes by looking at how the disruptive, dynamic and democratic effects of FOI laws continue to cause controversy once in operation.Table of Contents1 FOI: hard to resist and hard to escape2 From radical to inevitable: the development of FOI in Britain3 New Labour, new openness?4 The 1997 White Paper: a symbolic victory?5 The 1999 draft Bill: the retreat becomes a rout6 The Parliamentary passage: asymmetric warfare7 FOI in the UK: survival and afterlife 8 The US, Australia and India: two firsts and the greatest? 9 Ireland and New Zealand: a legacy and an assault from within 10 FOI and the remaking of politics Conclusion: why do governments pass FOI laws?
