Supported by Britain, these unprecedented changes sought to end the scourge of colonialism. But how committed was Britain? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1960s, its colonial instinct ignited once more: a secret decision was taken to offer the US a base at Diego Garcia, one of the islands of the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, create a new colony (the ''British Indian Ocean Territory'') and deport the entire local population. One of those inhabitants was Liseby Elysé, twenty years old, newly married, expecting her first child. One suitcase, no pets, the British ordered, expelling her from the only home she had ever known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor four decades the government of Mauritius fought for the return of Chagos, and the past decade Philippe Sands has been intimately involved in the cases.

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.

Seasoned practitioners and academics should read it as well, however, as it provides an authoritative guide to the discipline, which has evolved dramatically since the previous edition was published. All crises and challenges to the EU and its legal order are covered, together with more traditional topics concerning the key areas of EU law.

Finally, Gibney takes up the issue of human rights enforcement, unquestionably the weakest aspect of international human rights law. He proposes several practical models that could begin to provide victims the effective remedy promised by the law itself.

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.

An important critical assumption made by the authors is that the gender equality perspective has been largely neglected in several branches of private law, since scholars researching the intersection between gender and legal studies are mostly focused on public law and human rights law. In light of that, the book contributes not only to the deconstruction of gender-blind private law, but also to the development of a gender-competent analysis of the key branches of private law, starting with private international law.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGender perspective in family law is analyzed on the basis of gendered and heteronormative operations of family law with reference to the formation of legally recognized relationships, the establishment of legal parenthood, the division of marital property after a divorce, and the arrangements for post-separation parenting. Also, regulation of family matters in Indian society and the gender equality perspective from the principle of the child’s best interest are considered. As far as tort law is concerned, the book addresses compensation for damages suffered by women performing unpaid household work. Further, it contains papers dedicated to the following labour law issues: the genesis of labor law and its capacity to contribute either to worsening gender inequality in the world of work or to promoting gender equality; gender segregation in the labour market and its connection to family-friendly policies in the European Union; sexual harassment at work; and the impact of work digitalization on gender-related labour law issues. Lastly, the authors analyze gender equality in civil procedural law, as well as in mediation as a tool for encouraging the peaceful settlement of disputes. The book is intended to improve awareness of the wide range of private law issues that are important for understanding the ways in which gender inequality shapes everyday experiences, while also presenting critical considerations of the key private law instruments for achieving gender equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book marks a turning point in the trend, as it offers a mainly European– in the sense that will be explained later – but still plural perspective on private law and gender intersections, without forgetting the great debt to American contributions. … it also offers it with an approach that aims to be exhaustive, i.e., to cover all the sensitive issues, at least from the standpoint of private law.” (Letizia Coppo, Analysis PFB, Issue 3, 2023)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGender Issues in Private International Law.- The Reproduction of Gender Difference and Heteronormativity in Family Law.- Family Matters: Gender, Community and Personal Laws in India.- Compensation for Damages Suffered by Women Performing Unpaid Domestic Work.- The Best Interests of the Child and Gender Perspective.- Gender Perspective of Development of Labour Law.- Leading or Breeding; Looking Ahead – Gender Segregation in the Labour Market and the Equal Distribution of Family Responsibilities.- Legal Approaches to Protection Against Gender-Based Violence and Harassment at Work with a Particular Focus on the Situation in the Republic of North Macedonia.- Digital Work and Gender Equality.- Gender Discrimination: Procedural Issues Between Procedural Autonomy, EU Provisions and Effectiveness of Judicial Protection.- Gender Perspectives in Mediation.","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743072366935,"sku":"9783031140914","price":113.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783031140914.jpg?v=1791480628"},{"product_id":"gender-competent-legal-education-9783031143595","title":"Gender-Competent Legal Education","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMale-dominated law and legal knowledge essentially characterized the whole of pre-modern history in that the patriarchy represented the axis of social relations in both the private and public spheres.

More than other areas of law, the normative and practical framework dedicated to climate change has embraced new instruments and softened traditional boundaries between formal and informal, public and private, substantive and procedural; so ubiquitous is the reach of relevant rules nowadays that scholars routinely devote attention to the intersection of climate change and more established fields of legal study, such as international trade law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClimate Change and the Law\u003c\/i\u003e explores the rich diversity of international, regional, national, sub-national and transnational legal responses to climate change.

As Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), states in her preface, these chapters collectively provide a “review of the emergence of a new discipline, its core principles and legal techniques, and its relationship and potential interaction with other disciplines.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the reviews:\u003c\/p\u003e“This edited collection provides a unique contribution to the scholarship debate on climate change. … This volume is thus a solid collection of pieces which I would certainly recommend to anyone who wish to gain an improved understanding of the complex web of legal norms addressing climate change. … the book also represents an interesting reference tool for policy makers and practitioners involved in the ongoing discussions on climate change regulation and governance.” (Emanuela Orlando, Cambridge Law Journal, Vol. 72 (3), November, 2013)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents.- Contributors.- Abbreviations.- 1.

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. This book, like her earlier work, will be widely read and highly influential in policy as well as scholarly debates. * Gráinne de Búrca, Florence Ellinwood Allen Professor of Law, New York University *\u003cbr\u003eThe Brussels Effect is an important book that challenges us to rethink the impact of the EU on the global economy. 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. It gives us yet another reason why we cannot afford to have the European ambitions fail. * Paul Polman, Co-founder, IMAGINE and Chair, International Chamber of Commerce, Former CEO of Unilever *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Brussels Effect  Preface to Part One: Theory Chapter 1.

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.

In his stunning book, Will Hanley follows this modern question deep into the social existence of ordinary Alexandrians, demonstrating the contradictory effects of its imposition. The results open a portal, not simply on a unique city in the tumultuous years between Ottoman rule and Egyptian semi-sovereignty, but also on a pivotal global experience that historians have missed. In this lucidly written and well-researched book, Hanley rewrites the history of international law and intervenes brilliantly in multiple literatures.

Along the way, Hanley vividly captures the loss of another world: of concrete and heterogeneous forms of life that sought protection in other networks of affiliation.

An illuminating masterpiece. -- Patrick Weil, vsiting professor of law and Oscar M. Ruebhausen Distinguished Senior Fellow, Yale University\u003cbr\u003eWith its close and textured descriptions and analysis, Hanley’s book sheds important new light on the social history of an important port city. . . . Anybody who is interested in late Ottoman Egypt will find it impossible to ignore this book. * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *\u003cbr\u003eThe arguments that this book advances are elegantly constructed and undergirded with brilliant research. They are made even more impressive by writing that shows real élan. Hanley’s work offers a major contribution to Egyptian and Ottoman history that should also be required reading for historians of Europe and the wider Mediterranean. -- Alex Chase-Levenson * English Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003eAn extremely original and illuminating study. It opens up an entirely new field of historical research exploring the construction of modern human frameworks of identity in Egypt and the Middle East. . . . Hanley's attention to both the particular and the global, to the national and the transnational\/international, makes his book an indispensable work, not only for students of the Middle East, but also for anybody interested in the formation of modern nationality, nationalism, and citizenship. * International Journal of Middle East Studies *\u003cbr\u003eGroundbreaking. . . .

By telling the often marvelous stories of law’s minions rather than its mandarins, Benton and Ford have done nothing less than help us understand the shambling character of our own international legal order as it arose out of empire two centuries ago. -- Paul D.
