Taylor & Francis Law and Development
Book SynopsisThe book examines the theory and practice of law and development. It introduces the General Theory of Law and Development, an innovative approach which explains the mechanisms by which law impacts development. This book analyzes the process of economic development in South Korea, South Africa, and the United States from legal and institutional perspectives. The book also explains why the concept of development is not only relevant to developing countries but to developed economies as well. The new edition includes five new chapters addressing the relationships between law and economic development in several key areas, including property rights, political governance, business transactions, state industrial promotion, and international trade and development.Trade Review"Yong-Shik Lee is moving the study of law and development to a new paradigm which more fully takes on board the insights of institutional economics along with a growing awareness of the issue of state capacity. He understandably has much to say about the East Asian model but his focus is not confined to this important case. He takes a close look at South Africa after the end of Apartheid and, strikingly, examines the contemporary US through a developmental lens. The reader will find much to enjoy and to learn from in this book." Dr. Simon Deakin, Professor of Law, University of Cambridge"This book is a very well-written, ambitious and thought-provoking account and treatment of a very complex topic. The theory captures central elements of what makes up the connection between law and development."Dr. Philipp Dann, Professor of Law, Humboldt University"With this new book Yong-Shik Lee has succeeded in providing scholars and students with a robust and insightful analytical framework to re-launch Law and Development as an exciting field of academic research and study. Prof. Lee adopts a universal approach that enables his framework to be used as an analytical framework to discuss the issues related to social and economic inequality and development in developing and developed countries. This is an essential book for both scholars of law and development studies and policy makers."Dr. Faizel Ismail, Former Ambassador of South Africa to the World Trade Organization"If you are looking for a comprehensive and insightful introduction to the very complex subject of the many roles of formal legal institutions in economic growth and social and political development, Y.S. Lee’s Law and Development: Theory and Practice more than fits the bill. It manages to present both the conventional wisdom and its critics’ attacks fairly and with no resort to caricature, an essential but seldom achieved goal of every introduction to complicated legal fields."Professor Frank Upham, Professor of Law, New York University "This rewarding and important book is comprehensive, knowledgeable and deep. It arrives at insightful and new propositions on the role of formal and informal law and the role of government for economic development. Also, the author’s intimate knowledge about East Asia leads the reader to a much better understanding of government’s potential role for development. This includes not only governmental investor protection if formal law is weak but also a public oversight and steering of private investment. Both generated high and lasting economic growth for low income countries."Dr. Hans-Bernd Schäfer, Professor of Law, Bucerius Law School"The first and second editions of this excellent book have re-opened the theory behind Law and Development, providing renewed impetus for a new generation of interdisciplinary scholars to work systematically in addressing and having an impact upon global poverty, and not just in the so-called Global South. Comprehensive in scope, analytical in approach and clear in exposition, Prof. Lee gives food for thought for students, scholars, activists and policy makers. Drawing upon comparative historical data from the East and the West, this expanded second edition clarifies the importance of prioritising political stability in achieving successful development outcomes. An important work, likely to be a reference for some time to come."Dr. Salim Farrar, Centre for Asian and Pacific Law, Sydney Law School.Table of ContentsPart I. Law and Development in Theory 1.

Taylor & Francis Stabilization and Human Security in UN Peace
Book SynopsisUN peace operations are increasingly asked to pursue stabilization mandates with lofty expectations of being able to stabilize conflict zones, achieve national reconciliation, and rebuild state legitimacy. This book investigates the relationship between UN stabilization mandates and the concept of human security'.The book is divided into three parts. Part I outlines the emergence of stabilization and other trends in peacekeeping practice and outlines an analytical framework of human security. Part II applies the analytical framework to case studies of MINUSMA, MINUSCA, and UNMISS examining issues, such as human rights, empowerment, protection, and vulnerability. In Part III the book draws out several concerns that arise from stabilization mandates, including the militarisation of UN peace operations and the consequences under international humanitarian law, the risks of close cooperation with the host state and engagement in counter-terror activities, and the potential clash Trade Review'...this book should be read by any legal or non-legal scholar interested in recent trends in peacekeeping operations...in the framework of an impressive knowledge of legal issues pertaining to peacekeeping missions...the content of each chapter is carefully researched, well-presented and full of interesting analysis...this concise and clever book deserves to be read widely, is going to be read widely and probably will spark more debate among peacekeeping experts and stakeholders from legal and non-legal fields alike.'Dr Marco Longobardo, Westminster Law School, UK; book review in Journal of Conflict & Security LawTable of Contents1 IntroductionPart I Context and conceptual framework2 The many faces of UN intervention3 The concept of human securityPart II Case studies4 United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) 5 United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA)6 United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS)Part III Human security’s place in international peace and security7 The (in)compatibility of stabilization and human security8 Making use of human security

Taylor & Francis Ltd Practical English Language Skills for Lawyers
Book SynopsisA high level of English remains essential for any lawyer wishing to work internationally, but transferring language skills from the classroom to the workplace can be challenging. This book shows non-native, English speaking lawyers how to apply their English language skills to everyday legal situations and contexts, providing essential guidance to ensure they can work confidently in different settings and mediums.Including activities based on real-life scenarios, the book will allow lawyers and law students to practise their English in key areas of working life, from networking and client meetings, to telephone and conference calls, contract drafting and contract negotiations, presentations and using social media. Written by two highly experienced legal English language tutors, both former legal professionals, it also features online support material that includes listening exercises to complement those based on writing and reading comprehension.Designed to hone skillsTrade Review"A great book on legal English skills for lawyers, law students, and legal English trainers; full of real-life situations and practical exercises. Highly recommended."Elisabeth Staels, President European Legal English Teachers’ Association (EULETA), Legal English trainer and consultant"Combining language for specific purposes acquisition with much sought after real-world legal skills, which elsewhere are frequently treated cursorily or as a background or secondary topic, this new publication moves away from the traditional teaching of Legal English by 'legal theme' to place skills development right at the centre of the reader-learner’s focus. This is a highly practical resource book by two of the most dynamic and innovative instructors-materials developers in the Legal English field today with whom I have had the pleasure and privilege to work."David Albert BEST (PhD), Lecturer in English for Legal Purposes at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and former President of EULETA (2016-2021)"Two aspects of this well-structured and clearly written book put it ahead of the pack: its use of realistic and modern legal scenarios and the detailed and practical guidance it offers. It will be an invaluable resource for lawyers and law students who wish to improve their English language skills."Rupert Haigh, Author of Legal English (6th edn., Routledge 2021) and the Oxford Handbook of Legal Correspondence (2006, OUP)"Natasha Costello and Louise Kulbicki have effectively integrated deep legal knowledge and student-centered language learning pedagogy to create a work that is a rare combination in the field of legal English. Their love of law, of language teaching, and of their students shows through in all of their work and will be well appreciated by both students and teachers."Stephen Horowitz, Professor of Legal English at Georgetown Law, Co-Host of the USLawEssentials Law & Language Podcast "This excellent coursebook provides ideal soft-skills training in English for lawyers working in international contexts. Rather than focussing on a more traditional four-skills approach to Legal English, it concentrates on the professional skills attorneys need to best represent their clients. It has filled a long-standing gap in the market, and will provide enjoyable and effective training for practicing lawyers. Highly recommended!"Matt Firth, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, co-author of Introduction to International Legal English, co-founder of EULETA"A brilliant legal English resource book suitable for class study, full of real-life insights, useful phrases, engaging roleplays and hands-on tasks."Mgr.
