Cambridge University Press Chinese Refugee Law and Policy
Book SynopsisThis book is the first to systematically examine Chinese refugee law and policy. It provides in-depth legal and policy analysis and makes recommendations to relevant stakeholders, drawing upon not only existing legal and policy scholarships but also empirical information acquired through field visits and interviews with refugees, former refugees, and staff of governmental and non-governmental organisations working with displaced population. It is a timely response to rapidly growing international interest in and demand for information about Chinese and Asian approaches to refugee protection in academia and the policy sector.Trade Review‘It can be very difficult, at the best of times, to penetrate the often intricate network of interacting policies, practices and laws which will determine who gets asylum protection in any one country and who does not. China's system is a particular case in point. Lili Song, through her assiduous research and clear understanding of what it can mean to go down the asylum road in China, has made a significant contribution to demystifying the decision-making processes, clarifying constraints and understanding how they play out in the broader international and regional contexts. An insightful and very worthwhile piece of scholarship.’ Erika Feller, University of Melbourne'China’s asylum policy is a conundrum. It is a long-time party to the Refugee Convention that received some 300,000 Vietnamese refugees during the 1970s and still tolerates a robust protection regime in Hong Kong. Yet China has no formal asylum procedure, receives only a trickle of protection requests, and stands accused of refoulement of North Korean and other refugees. Lili Song’s historical and policy analysis is a welcome first look at how this legal regime evolved, and where it is headed.’ James C. Hathaway, University of Michigan‘Despite China's mounting influence on the international stage and its growing engagement with international humanitarian and human rights issues, the country's refugee law and policy have never been the subject of a comprehensive and systematic analysis. This volume fills that major gap in an admirable manner, providing an incisive account of the Chinese perspective on refugee issues, both globally and in the Asian context.’ Jeff Crisp, University of Oxford and Chatham House'As Dr Song explains in this book, China has a long and varied experience with refugees, including the Indochinese crisis in the 1970s and 1980s, and more recently from North Korea and Myanmar. A little-known fact is that China has been a party to the Refugee Convention since 1982. This book provides unique and informed insights into China’s response to refugee issues nationally, and as a regional and global actor. It includes contemporary accounts of the responses of the two Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau.’ Susan Kneebone, University of MelbourneTable of Contents1. Introduction; Part I.

Cambridge University Press Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide
Book SynopsisThis book traces the reverberations of genocide, forced displacement, and a legacy of loss in Bosnia and abroad.Trade Review'Extending the purview of their single-authored books on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nettelfield and Wagner have produced an authoritative account of genocide's aftermath in the Drina Valley. The book easily surpasses most of what passes for scholarship on 'post-conflict justice'. Closely observed, deeply researched, and empathetically written, their longitudinal analysis of local dynamics of contention in Srebrenica and environs complicates - in an admirable way - all kinds of simplistic assumptions about the nature and promise of international humanitarianism. By taking ethnography seriously, the authors have made an important contribution to both the study of genocide and of war.' Jens Meierhenrich, London School of Economics and Political Science'Lara J. Nettelfield and Sarah E. Wagner have written a powerful and evocative book about Srebrenica, where there was the worst massacre in Europe since World War II. They focus on the reactions by a wide variety of actors in the aftermath of this tragedy. They employ categories of analysis from international law, cultural anthropology, political philosophy, and international relations. But the greatest strength of this book is the way the authors give voice to the victims whose lives are often now far removed from Bosnia but still haunted by the events of 1995 in Srebrenica. As the authors say, the wide-ranging reactions after the mass killings in Srebrenica display 'the extraordinary nature of the crimes, as well as the far-reaching legacy of loss'.' Larry May, Professor of Law, Political Science and W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University'Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide represents a major contribution to the understanding of the politics of memory of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Superbly written, it carefully charts the local and international contestation over the memory of the worst war crime in Europe since the Second World War in various sites, including in the media, in museums and at international criminal tribunals. Lara J. Nettelfield and Sarah E. Wagner combine their considerable and complementary talents as a comparative political scientist and socio-cultural anthropologist respectively, and this book is a testament to the value of interdisciplinary collaboration.' Richard A. Wilson, Gladstein Professor of Human Rights and Professor of Anthropology and Law, University of Connecticut'Political scientist Lara J. Nettelfield and anthropologist Sarah E. Wagner have produced a masterpiece. For the international criminal law scholar and practitioner, the authors have demanded a re-thinking of 'participation' in genocide. For the anthropologist, this work addresses the cultural context within which domestic and international criminal and civil trials shape postwar Bosnia. Finally, the work of the historian and Slavic studies specialist will require close awareness to the people of Srebrenica: those who stayed, and those who were left behind. This excellent volume will soon be regarded as a major work on the post-genocide era in Srebrenica.' Julie Mertus, American University, Washington DC'Nettelfield and Wagner see the people of Srebrenica not merely as victims of genocide, but as individuals who have battled courageously for years against the system in order to secure basic human rights, taking steps - often and consciously - that had an impact on the entire region, as well as the international community. In a remarkable way, this book describes how genocide and mass war crimes affect society, at the same time they change and form it. After years of living and conducting research in Bosnia and Herzegovina, [Nettelfield and Wagner] have written one of the most important works to date about the lives of people who survived or were in some way affected by the Srebrenica genocide.' Nidžara Ahmetašević, Slobodna Bosna'It is an exhaustive and landmark study … covering the progress of 'Srebrenica in court', at The Hague, the grotesque disinterrment of bodies from mass graves to 'secondary graves' and even tertiary ones to hide the evidence, the fortunes of Srebrenica's diaspora scattered worldwide and the vicious harassment of those survivors - mostly women, of course - who dare to return to their native soil.' Ed Vulliamy, Open Democracy (opendemocracy.net)'Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide is a major contribution to how the memory of the Srebrenica massacre in 1995 is understood, and thus how genocide and war crimes alter society. … a deeply researched and superbly written account of suffering and resistance in the face of destructive, anti-human forces.'

Cambridge University Press Forging a Convention for Crimes against Humanity
Book SynopsisCrimes against humanity were one of the three categories of crimes elaborated in the Nuremberg Charter. However, unlike genocide and war crimes, they were never set out in a comprehensive international convention. This book represents an effort to complete the Nuremberg legacy by filling this gap. It contains a complete text of a proposed convention on crimes against humanity in English and in French, a comprehensive history of the proposed convention, and fifteen original papers written by leading experts on international criminal law. The papers contain reflections on various aspects of crimes against humanity, including gender crimes, universal jurisdiction, the history of codification efforts, the responsibility to protect, ethnic cleansing, peace and justice dilemmas, amnesties and immunities, the jurisprudence of the ad hoc tribunals, the definition of the crime in customary international law, the ICC definition, the architecture of international criminal justice, modes of criminTrade Review'In closing, this is an outstanding and thought provoking work that will be an essential reference to academics, legal scholars, practitioners, human rights advocates and those who are engaged in the study and promotion of international criminal law.

Cambridge University Press Beyond Cages
Book SynopsisFor all the diversity of views within the animal protection movement, there is a surprising consensus about the need for more severe criminal justice interventions against animal abusers. More prosecutions and longer sentences, it is argued, will advance the status of animals in law and society. Breaking from this mold, Professor Justin Marceau demonstrates that a focus on ''carceral animal law'' puts the animal rights movement at odds with other social justice movements, and may be bad for humans and animals alike. Animal protection efforts need to move beyond cages and towards systemic solutions if the movement hopes to be true to its own defining ethos of increased empathy and resistance to social oppression. Providing new insights into how the lessons of criminal justice reform should be imported into the animal abuse context, Beyond Cages is a valuable contribution to the literature on animal welfare and animal rights law.Trade Review'A groundbreaking call to conscience. Marceau firmly positions animal advocacy alongside broader struggles for social justice, and speaks to our shared values. This is the future of animal law.' Will Potter, author of Green is the New Red: An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege'Beyond Cages challenges the animal protection movement to critically examine its historical reliance on criminal law. Marceau rightly claims that the movement is ready for this internal critique, and he draws upon his expertise in animal law and criminal law to deliver it with great eloquence and persuasion. The animal protection movement will not - and indeed should not - be the same as a result of Beyond Cages.' Kristen Stilt, Harvard Law School'In this bold book, Marceau critiques the abject alliance between US animal rights organizations and the criminal justice system, and calls out the moral and political hypocrisy of celebrating racialized imprisonment, deportation, and privatized prosecutions as strategies of progressive social change. I hope Beyond Cages augurs a wholesale rejection of simplistic scapegoating in favor of alternative strategies inspired by more thoughtful illuminations of our collective complicity in deeply interconnected structures of oppression.' Timothy Pachirat, author of Every Twelve Seconds: Industrialized Slaughter and the Politics of Sight'Arguments that cruelty to nonhuman animals render humans cruel to each other date back to at least the eighteenth century. In this groundbreaking book, Justin Marceau explains how the criminalization of animal cruelty - often justified by the link between the human propensity to harm others humans if they are violent to nonhuman animals - has been a mistaken focus for the animal law movement. A law-and order approach, what Marceau calls 'Carceral Animal Law', does not fit with a civil rights movement for nonhuman animals. This is a very important intervention, working with what is often treated as common sense and breaking it down by asking the hard questions that need to be put about what is appropriate, effective, and humane when dealing with those who harm or abuse nonhuman animals. Beyond Cages is a must read for anyone interested in animal law, criminal law, and the (at times errant) logic of social justice movements past and present.'

Cambridge University Press The Human Rights Dictatorship
Book SynopsisRichardson-Little exposes the forgotten history of human rights in the German Democratic Republic, placing the history of the Cold War, Eastern European dissidents and the revolutions of 1989 in a new light. By demonstrating how even a communist dictatorship could imagine itself to be a champion of human rights, this book challenges popular narratives on the fall of the Berlin Wall and illustrates how notions of human rights evolved in the Cold War as they were re-imagined in East Germany by both dissidents and state officials. Ultimately, the fight for human rights in East Germany was part of a global battle in the post-war era over competing conceptions of what human rights meant. Nonetheless, the collapse of dictatorship in East Germany did not end this conflict, as citizens had to choose for themselves what kind of human rights would follow in its wake.Trade Review'In this pioneering book, Richardson-Little upends conventional wisdom that human rights are the natural enemy of authoritarian regimes. With great range and verve, he shows how the East German socialist state used human rights ideologically and diplomatically to stabilize and legitimate its fledging socialist republic, and only in the last decade of the regime did human rights emerge a source of dissent and resistance against the state. This is a model revisionist account of the protean and multi-directional nature of human rights under socialism.' Paul Betts, University of Oxford'Finally a book on human rights history by someone deeply conversant with socialist thought, state-socialist regimes, and current human rights historiography. This is a rare and valuable book as well as a good read. It will be a reference point for years to come.' Lora Wildenthal, Rice University, Texas'By showing the centrality of human rights to both the legitimacy and the downfall of the GDR, The Human Rights Dictatorship makes a major contribution to the global history of human rights. In this richly textured history, Ned Richardson-Little shows how East Germans instrumentalized human rights in the name of numerous shifting ideals: socialism, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, Christianity, peace the environment, democracy, and ultimately, the creation of a unified German state.' Celia Donert, University of Liverpool'Eagerly anticipated, Ned Richardson-Little's book breaks important new ground. Overcoming simple narratives of the GDR's erosion, he impressively uncovers the multiple meanings with which East German actors infused human rights - including state elites seeking to buttress their socialist project. Richly nuanced, the book advances our understanding of the twisted trajectory of human rights history in the 20th century.' Jan Eckel, Eberhard Karls-Universität Tübingen'One of the hallmarks of a great book is that it exposes an area that would benefit from focused future research, laying the foundations for the creation of a complex structure of work on the subject.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Handbook of Psychology and Human Rights
Book SynopsisWritten by psychologists, historians, and lawyers, this handbook demonstrates the central role psychological science plays in addressing some of the world''s most pressing problems. Over 100 experts from around the world work together to supply an integrated history of human rights and psychological science using a rights and strengths-based perspective. It highlights what psychologists have done to promote human rights and what continues to be done at the United Nations. With emerging visions for the future uses of psychological theory, education, evidence-based research, and best practices, the chapters offer advice on how to advance the 2030 Global Agenda on Sustainable Development. Challenging the view that human rights are best understood through a political lens, this scholarly collection of essays shows how psychological science may hold the key to nurturing humanitarian values and respect for human dignity.Trade Review'This remarkable handbook draws upon a multi-disciplinary group of thought leaders who provide a compelling vision for addressing the manifestations of inequality. The coverage is broad, deep, and should be read by anyone concerned with promoting human rights and progress on the global agenda.' John C. Scott, Chief Operating Officer, APTMetrics, Inc.'Wherever human rights are disregarded, psychology - as a science, professional practice, and perspective on life - is also questioned. This handbook is an impressive reminder to students, professionals, and researchers to respect human rights as a compass for their work, the importance of protecting them, and to promote them where possible.' Christoph Steinebach, Director of the School of Applied Psychology and Director of the Institute for Applied Psychology, Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland'This soon-to-be-classic work has been ever-so-finely crafted to serve as a highly-referenced volume for many years to come in human rights, social justice, and the role that psychology can play. It is founded upon the powerful writing of a who's who of contributing authors - I have never seen such a line-up of all-star academics, researchers, and most importantly: activists.' Chris E. Stout, Founding Director, Center for Global Initiatives'The lack of adequate implementation of international human rights agreements is one of biggest scandals of our time. Looking at human rights through the lens of psychology presents interesting and feasible ways to correct this situation. This book is a must-read for every social scientist and human rights scholar!' Shekhar Saxena, Professor of the Practice of Global Mental Health, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, USA'By thoughtfully framing psychology within a human rights context, this handbook outlines the dangerous propensity towards fundamentalism, bigotry, and fake news, which radicalises the susceptible or makes them indifferent to the issues affecting us all. Such an application of ethical psychology can, indeed must, improve human society.'

Cambridge University Press The Human Rights Dictatorship
Book SynopsisRichardson-Little exposes the forgotten history of human rights in the German Democratic Republic, placing the history of the Cold War, Eastern European dissidents and the revolutions of 1989 in a new light. By demonstrating how even a communist dictatorship could imagine itself to be a champion of human rights, this book challenges popular narratives on the fall of the Berlin Wall and illustrates how notions of human rights evolved in the Cold War as they were re-imagined in East Germany by both dissidents and state officials. Ultimately, the fight for human rights in East Germany was part of a global battle in the post-war era over competing conceptions of what human rights meant. Nonetheless, the collapse of dictatorship in East Germany did not end this conflict, as citizens had to choose for themselves what kind of human rights would follow in its wake.Trade Review'In this pioneering book, Richardson-Little upends conventional wisdom that human rights are the natural enemy of authoritarian regimes. With great range and verve, he shows how the East German socialist state used human rights ideologically and diplomatically to stabilize and legitimate its fledging socialist republic, and only in the last decade of the regime did human rights emerge a source of dissent and resistance against the state. This is a model revisionist account of the protean and multi-directional nature of human rights under socialism.' Paul Betts, University of Oxford'Finally a book on human rights history by someone deeply conversant with socialist thought, state-socialist regimes, and current human rights historiography. This is a rare and valuable book as well as a good read. It will be a reference point for years to come.' Lora Wildenthal, Rice University, Texas'By showing the centrality of human rights to both the legitimacy and the downfall of the GDR, The Human Rights Dictatorship makes a major contribution to the global history of human rights. In this richly textured history, Ned Richardson-Little shows how East Germans instrumentalized human rights in the name of numerous shifting ideals: socialism, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, Christianity, peace the environment, democracy, and ultimately, the creation of a unified German state.' Celia Donert, University of Liverpool'Eagerly anticipated, Ned Richardson-Little's book breaks important new ground. Overcoming simple narratives of the GDR's erosion, he impressively uncovers the multiple meanings with which East German actors infused human rights - including state elites seeking to buttress their socialist project. Richly nuanced, the book advances our understanding of the twisted trajectory of human rights history in the 20th century.' Jan Eckel, Eberhard Karls-Universität Tübingen'One of the hallmarks of a great book is that it exposes an area that would benefit from focused future research, laying the foundations for the creation of a complex structure of work on the subject. This book does exactly that. Though Richardson-Little tackles a large and incredibly complex topic in only 250 pages, he does so thoroughly and with a great balance between overarching concepts and definitions, and specific and vivid examples from his source base.'

Cambridge University Press The NGO Moment
Book SynopsisThis book is a study of compassion as a global project from Biafra to Live Aid. Kevin O''Sullivan explains how and why NGOs became the primary conduits of popular concern for the global poor between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s and shows how this shaped the West''s relationship with the post-colonial world. Drawing on case studies from Britain, Canada and Ireland, as well as archival material from governments and international organisations, he sheds new light on how the legacies of empire were re-packaged and re-purposed for the post-colonial era, and how a liberal definition of benevolence, rooted in charity, justice, development and rights became the dominant expression of solidarity with the Third World. In doing so, the book provides a unique insight into the social, cultural and ideological foundations of global civil society. It reveals why this period provided such fertile ground for the emergence of NGOs and offers a fresh interpretation of how individuals in the West encoTable of ContentsIntroduction; The Ends of Empire: 1.
