Tyler discusses the history and future of habeas corpus in America and around the world.  The concept of habeas corpus--literally, to receive and hold the body--empowers courts to protect the right of prisoners to know the basis on which they are being held by the government and grant prisoners their freedom when they are held unlawfully. It is no wonder that habeas corpus has long been considered essential to freedom.   For nearly eight hundred years, the writ of habeas corpus has limited the executive in the Anglo-American legal tradition from imprisoning citizens and subjects with impunity. Writing in the eighteenth century, the widely influential English jurist and commentator William Blackstone declared the writ a bulwark of personal liberty. Across the Atlantic, in the leadup to the American Revolution, the Continental Congress declared that the habeas privilege and the right to trial by jury were among the most important rights in a free society.   This Very Short Introduction chronicles the storied writ of habeas corpus and how its common law and statutory origins spread from England throughout the British Empire and beyond, witnessing its use today around the world in nations as varied as Canada, Israel, India, and South Korea. Beginning with the English origins of the writ, the book traces its historical development both as a part of the common law and as a parliamentary creation born out of the English Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, a statute that so dramatically limited the executive''s power to detain that Blackstone called it no less than a second Magna Carta.  The book then takes the story forward to explore how the writ has functioned in the centuries since, including its controversial suspension by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. It also analyzes the major role habeas corpus has played in such issues as the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans and the US Supreme Court''s recognition during the War on Terror of the concept of a citizen enemy combatant. Looking ahead the story told in these pages reveals the immense challenges that the habeas privilege faces today and suggests that in confronting them, we would do well to remember how the habeas privilege brought even the king of England to his knees before the law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a real achievement to encapsulate and illustrate these various themes and principles so concisely, enabling even the reader without any prior legal knowledge to gain an insight into the nature of what has long been celebrated as this \"great palladium of the liberties of the subject\". * Trevor Allan, Society *\u003cbr\u003eIn this elegantly concise and concisely elegant volume, Amanda Tyler introduces readers to the privilege of the 'writ of habeas corpus'—one of the only individual liberties expressly enshrined in the original text of the US Constitution. In a tidy and terrific narrative, Tyler shows not just how an esoteric legal remedy came to be instrumental to the rule of law, but why it is incumbent upon all of us to fight to resurrect its historical role even as contemporary courts increasingly turn their backs. * Stephen I.

Digital Empires is a must read for anyone seeking to understand what's at stake in developing a practical regulatory framework that serves the needs of people everywhere. * Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President of Microsoft *\u003cbr\u003eAnu Bradford's Digital Empires is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the regulatory choices confronting governments that seek to reign in big tech. The US, China and Europe have chosen different paths, and Bradford carefully breaks down the legal and political contexts of each. Bradford's voice is clear and reasonable and this book is a tour de force. * Joseph E. Stiglitz, Nobel laureate 2001 in economics *\u003cbr\u003eIt is easy to forget that the future of the big tech is not just the question of what Europe, China or the U.S. will do, but how it all comes together. Anu Bradford offers the single best approach to understanding these interactions to make sense of an otherwise bewildering present and future. * Tim Wu, Special Assistant to President Biden for Technology and Competition Policy, 2021-2023 *\u003cbr\u003eThis is the definitive account of the fierce and hugely important fight within and among \"digital empires\" - the United States, China, and the European Union - over the shape of our digital lives. Among its important conclusions are that the European rights-driven regulatory model, rather than the American market-driven model, is best poised to unite the democratic west and challenge China's growing control in the digital realm. * Jack Goldsmith, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard Law School *\u003cbr\u003eDigital Empires is essential reading for all policymakers wanting to understand the drivers and implications of conflicts that threaten the global nature of the digital economy. Bradford offers a nuanced and highly compelling account of a digital world between decoupling and continuing globalization. * Pascal Lamy, Director general of the WTO, 2005-2013 *\u003cbr\u003eDigital Empires describes the coming race between the US, China, and the EU to impose their regulatory models and set the norms that govern the global digital order.

How is it that a great swath of the independent, English-speaking Caribbean continues to accept the judicial oversight of their former colonizer via the British institution of the Privy Council? And what possibilities might the Caribbean Court of Justicea judicial institution responsive to the region, not to any single nationoffer for untangling sovereignty and regionhood, law and modernity, and postcolonial Caribbean identity?  Joining the Court as an intern, Lee Cabatingan studied its work up close: she attended each court hearing and numerous staff meetings, served on committees, assisted with the organization of conferences, and helped prepare speeches and presentations for the judges. She now offers insight into not only how the Court positions itself vis-à-vis the Caribbean region and the world but also whether the Courtand, perhaps, the region itself as an overarching constructmight ever achieve a real measure of popular success. In their quest for an accepting, eager constituency, the Court is undertaking a project of extrajudicial region building that borrows from the toolbox of the nation-state. In each chapter, Cabatingan takes us into an analytical dimension familiar from studies of nation and state buildingmyth, territory, people, language, and brandto help us understand not only the Court and its ambitions but also the regionalist project, beset as it is with false starts and disappointments, as a potential alternative to the sovereign state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is an empathetic and rigorous anthropology of the CCJ.

However, we also see art in fossils and in violins, chairs and jewellery, holes in the ground and even in the institutions meant to protect any, or all, of the above. And where there is art, there is crime. Chapters in this volume, alternatively, zoom in on specific objects, on specific locations, and on specific institutions, considering how each interact with the various conceptions of crime that exist in those contexts.

Indeed, modern and even contemporary law still have embedded elements of patriarchal heritage, even in the secular modern legal systems of Western developed countries, either within the content of legislation or in terms of its implementation and interpretation. This is true to a greater or lesser extent across legal systems, although the secular modern legal systems of the Western developed countries have made great advances in terms of gender equality.

Between sluggish growth; political turmoil following a decade of austerity politics; Brexit; and the rise of Asian influence, the EU is seen as a declining power on the world stage.Columbia Law professor Anu Bradford argues the opposite in her important new book The Brussels Effect: the EU remains an influential superpower that shapes the world in its image. By promulgating regulations that shape the international business environment, elevating standards worldwide, and leading to a notable Europeanization of many important aspects of global commerce, the EU has managed to shape policy in areas such as data privacy, consumer health and safety, environmental protection, antitrust, and online hate speech. And in contrast to how superpowers wield their global influence, the Brussels Effect - a phrase first coined by Bradford in 2012 - absolves the EU from playing a direct role in imposing standards, as market forces alone are often sufficient as multinational companies voluntarily extend the EU rule to govern their global operations. The Brussels Effect shows how the EU has acquired such power, why multinational companies use EU standards as global standards, and why the EU''s role as the world''s regulator is likely to outlive its gradual economic decline, extending the EU''s influence long into the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBradford makes her case with verve, and with a great eye for detail. * Jan Klabbers, European Journal of International Law *\u003cbr\u003eThe author of this book, a scholar of extraordinary authority, overturns existing stereotypes and demonstrates how the European Union has become the only authority capable of dictating the rules that guide the behavior of world economic life. In the crisis of international cooperation, Brussels builds the rules that are progressively adopted by global markets. A Europe that exercises its authority not with muscles but with a refined blend of brains and experience. * Romano Prodi, formerly President of the European Commission and Prime Minister of Italy *\u003cbr\u003eAnu Bradford, a professor at Columbia University, originally coined the term \"Brussel Effect\" and has been studying it for several years. Her impressive book assembles evidence going back decades, tracing its development from the \"Reach\" chemicals regulation, developed in the early 2000s, to the digital age. ... What is incontrovertible is that the Brussels effect has dominated global economic regulation to an under-appreciated extent. This book will be the definitive reference guide for those wishing to understand. * Alan Beattie, Financial Times *\u003cbr\u003eDeveloping her earlier work and, in turn, Vogel's ground-breaking study of the \"California Effect\", Bradford argues brilliantly—without ignoring the external and internal challenges faced by the EU—the extent to which the \"Brussels Effect\" (i.e. the EU's unilateral power to regulate global markets) has operated in many foreign jurisdictions, including the US and China ... Bradford's tour de force is to combine a dense number of facts and information with a vivid analysis. * Julien Miéral, European Law Review *\u003cbr\u003eAnu Bradford's The Brussels Effect is essential reading for anyone interested in Europe's place in the world. Decried as a powerless entity, vainly committed to multilateralism, Bradford shows how the EU has, in fact, turned unilateral regulatory measures into a source of global economic clout. A timely and powerful antidote to prevailing euro-pessimism. * Adam Tooze, author of Crashed and Director of the European Institute, Columbia University *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is both timely and important. I have frequently witnessed the Brussels Effect in many areas, including data privacy, trade, the digital economy and consumer and food safety, where the EU increasingly sets global standards. Professor Bradford describes in a detailed and engaging style why the EU is a global regulatory superpower that shapes the world in its own image. This book is of great relevance, not just for an academic audience but also for businesses and policy makers around the world. This book clearly explains the nature of the EU's often under-appreciated 'quiet influence. * Anthony Gardner, former US Ambassador to the European Union *\u003cbr\u003eFinally! A book that carefully and systematically documents the European Union's power in the world and challenges us to rethink how we define power in the process. The Brussels Effect is a tour de force; a study that will establish a new benchmark for scholars and serve as a major stumbling block for prophets of European decline. * Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America *\u003cbr\u003eIn The Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford has developed her brilliant and insightful theory of the European Union's global power into a fascinating and thorough account of the ways in which EU rules are transformed into global standards through market mechanisms.

Bradford has made a creative and original contribution to the literature on business regulation. Her well-documented and clearly written study shows how and why the EU has become the world's most influential regulator, shaping both business practices and public policies well beyond its borders. * David Vogel, Solomon P. Lee Chair Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Business Ethics, University of California Berkley *\u003cbr\u003eIn The Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford offers a perceptive analysis of the influence the EU can and must have well beyond its borders. With global governance being challenged, the Brussels Effect is filling a desperately needed void.

A ship sailing through the sea, he wrote, leaves behind it no more legal right than it does a track. A philosophical and legal battle ensued, but Grotius''s view ultimately prevailed. To this day, freedom of the seas remains an important legal principle and a powerful rhetorical tool. Yet in recent decades, freedom of the seas has eroded in multiple ways and for a variety of reasons. During the world wars of the 20th century, combatants imposed unprecedented restrictions on maritime commerce, leaving international rules in tatters. National governments have steadily expanded their reach into the oceans. More recently, environmental concerns have led to new international restrictions on high seas fishing.

Practitioners and academics will find The Poseidon Project clear and comprehensive; general readers will come away startled by triumphs and failures that have marked—and continue to mark—this ongoing chapter in human history. * David Balton, Former United States Ambassador for Oceans and Fisheries *\u003cbr\u003eDavid Bosco's The Poseidon Project is a vivid and energetic examination of the development of the law of the sea. Casting both familiar and more obscure episodes of maritime history in a new light, Bosco reveals the extent to which human responses to particular events drive change in the international arena. In so doing, he pulls back the curtain on how governments try to bring order to the ocean and the world. * Lincoln Paine, author of The Sea and Civilization: A Maritime History of the World *\u003cbr\u003eBosco has written a terrific book that illuminates the challenges of maritime governance today. With lucid, insightful, and engaging prose, Bosco documents how unfettered freedom of the seas has given way to greater national control and international jurisdiction over the world's waters. * M. Taylor Fravel, Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science and Director, Security Studies Program, Massachusetts Institute of Technology *\u003cbr\u003eBosco is unparalleled in his ability to weave together ancient and modern history, law, and politics and in moving from the big picture questions and issues to small but deeply illuminating details of the individuals, ideas, and events that shaped the evolution of ocean governance. It's rare to find a scholarly book that is so engaging to read. * Tamar Gutner, American University *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a real enrichment to the existing scholarly literature. The fundamental and century-old conflict between freedom of the seas and efforts to control maritime space is not presented by way of formalistic analysis of diplomatic conferences and legal instruments, but on the basis of historical developments, political struggles and current conflicts. By focusing on their contexts, ocean governance and the law of the sea thus become accessible in terms of their backgrounds, manifestations and potential future. The book is highly recommended reading for all those interested in ocean affairs. * Alexander Proelß, University of Hamburg *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 1.

The author begins by showing that historically law has always had a global dimension \u003c\/i\u003e(ius gentium, ius commune, ius naturale,\u003ci\u003e colonialization, human rights etc) and he goes on to consider the difficulties that globalisation presents to comparative lawyers. Professor Husa guides the reader effortlessly through these difficulties and advances his own important argument that comparative law will have to move away from its traditional nation state bound view of law. He pursues this argument in examining the more precise aspects of the global debate - neoliberalism, constitutionalism, human rights, lex mercatoria and judicial internationalisation - before posing this question. What kind of theoretical and methodological base is required when thinking about law in a global context? Traditional theory and methods are tested within the globalisation paradigm and the author concludes by stressing the importance of legal pluralism within a culturally diverse world. How should all of this impact on legal education and in turn on legal language? What Professor Husa provides is a very informative and clear analysis - introductory but equally profoundly wide-ranging in its research base - of these two issues. Legal globalisation?
