Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on Human Rights and Poverty
Book SynopsisTrade Review'The Research Handbook on Human Rights and Poverty is a timely and welcome addition to the growing literature on poverty, economic inequality and human rights. Coming at a propitious global moment, in the wake of a crushing pandemic that has reinforced and exacerbated the historical causes, impacts and patterns of poverty, this volume provides cogent and innovative insights into confronting poverty as a core human rights issue. An impressively interdisciplinary exploration by a collection of thoughtful and informed scholars and advocates who are well versed in the issues of poverty and human rights, the Handbook is a compelling and useful text for educators. Hopefully, it may also spawn commitments from policy makers and governments worldwide to confront the urgent need to eradicate poverty and inequality.' -- – Penelope Andrews, President, Law & Society Association (2019-2021); Professor of Law and Director, Racial Justice Project, New York Law SchoolTable of ContentsContents: Opening Note Michelle Bachelet Forward Philip Alston xix Introduction to the Research Handbook on Human Rights and Poverty xxv PART I DEFINITIONS, MEASUREMENTS AND STANDARDS 1 A human rights-based approach to measuring poverty 2 Olivier De Schutter 2 From stigma to rights: uncovering the hidden dimension of poverty 21 Magdalena Sepúlveda Carmona 3 Current perspectives on global poverty: rights, capabilities and social exclusion 37 Ayşe Buğra 4 Is economic inequality a violation of human rights? 53 Gillian MacNaughton 5 Poverty and political rights: an exercise of recovery from oblivion 69 Karolina Miriam Januszewski and Manfred Nowak 6 Human rights and poverty reduction: what are the linkages? 88 Hans-Otto Sano PART II CROSS-CURRENTS A.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Private Law in Context Enriching Legal Doctrine
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Anyone who dreads reading about the theory of private law should read this delightfully written book. It offers insights, well-chosen quotes, and examples in abundance. Open it at a random page and you are sure to find little treasures; treasures of thoughtful reflections on what private law is and what we think it is. Aimed at higher-level students, it may equally serve as a companion on the desk or coffee table of everyone working in private law.’ -- Cees van Dam, King's College London, UK‘To call this book a masterful primer on private law is to dramatically understate its accomplishments. It is nothing less than an indispensable travel guide to the entire landscape of legal theory, history, and practice. I cannot imagine a more valuable resource to offer advanced law students, aspiring legal academics, and anyone else who wants or needs a sophisticated but accessible overview of the grand subject, Law.’ -- Douglas Kysar, Yale University, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface Introduction to Private Law in Context 1. The concept of private law 2. The history of private law 3. The language of private law 4. The expertise of the private lawyer 5. The values of private law 6. The methods of private law 7.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Transformation of Environmental Law and Gove
Book SynopsisThis cutting-edge book considers the functional inseparability of risk and innovation within the context of environmental law and governance. Analysing both âhardâ and âsoftâ innovation, the book argues that approaches to socio-ecological risk require innovation in order for society and the environment to become more resilient.Trade Review‘Sindico, Switzer and Qin's prescient volume brings answers to some of the most crucial questions in law, and indeed, in society today. In a comprehensive analysis spanning topics from food and agriculture, to climate change and energy, it demonstrates the importance of understanding the connections between socio-ecological risk, legal innovation and ecological and societal resilience. It should have a place on the bookshelf of all legal scholars.’ -- Elizabeth Kirk, University of Lincoln, UK‘In the face of ongoing and emerging environmental pressures, the foundations of environmental law are rapidly changing, with new actors and new forms of regulation challenging existing preconceptions of how environmental law works. This book offers a timely look into the forces of risk, innovation and resilience underpinning and reflecting these changes. Sindico, Switzer and Qin have successfully brought together a diverse cast of established and early career scholars to shed new light on the dynamic evolution of environmental law.’ -- Harro van Asselt, University of Eastern Finland‘Never has environmental law been more paradoxical; the need for it so obvious whilst its impact seemingly less notable. Society is grappling not only with a wide range of challenges, across multiple sectors but how it confronts them is also changing. As the contributors to this book reveal, searching for answers and new ways of doing things is essential, whilst underlining the continual challenges of human folly. This collection opens up the conversation, revealing new insights and explores some of the ongoing problems.’ -- Duncan French, University of Lincoln, UKTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1 Risk, innovation and resilience: moving towards mutual supportiveness 2 Francesco Sindico, Stephanie Switzer and Qin Tianbao PART II INNOVATION 2 Fracking and environmental law for sustainability: an era of global ecological risks and the imperative of legal transformations 15 Patryck de Araújo Ayala and Mariana Carvalho Victor Coelho PART III RISK 3 Innovating societal response to radiation risk: insights from the Fukushima Safecast case 34 Anna Berti Suman 4 Drug pollution from manufacturing, antimicrobial resistance and the importation of pharmaceutical active ingredients from third countries.
