Taylor & Francis Ltd The Presumption of Innocence in International
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive analysis of the presumption of innocence from both a practical and theoretical point of view. Throughout the book a framework for the presumption of innocence is developed.The book approaches the right to presumption of innocence from an international human rights perspective using specific examples drawn from international criminal law. The result is a framework for understanding the right that is grounded in human rights law. This framework can then be applied across different national and international systems. When applied, it can help determine when the presumption of innocence is being infringed upon, eroded, violated, and ensure that the presumption of innocence is protected. The book is an essential resource for students, academics and practitioners working in the areas of human rights, criminal law, international criminal law, and evidence. The themes also have a more general application to national jurisdictionTable of Contents1. Introduction2. The Presumption of Innocence in Context3.

Taylor & Francis Environmental Change Forced Displacement and
Book SynopsisThis book explores the increasing concern over the extent to which those suffering from forced cross-border displacement as a result of environmental change are protected under international human rights law. Formally they are not entitled to admission or stay in a third state country, a situation that has been identified as an international legal protection gap.The book seeks to provide answers to two basic questions: whether and to what extent existing international law protects cross-border environmental displacement, and whether and how existing formalized regional complementary protection standards can interpretively solidify and conceptualize protection for cross-border environmental displacement. The discussion outlines that the protection of the human person is not only an ex post facto obligation of states, but must be increasingly seen as an ex ante one. The analysis further suggests that the European Union regionally orientated protection regime can help states to Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Comparative Policing
Book SynopsisThis book is a systematic and comparative analysis of police systems in the Western world, looking at their structure and how they tackle contemporary social problems, such as economic austerity, multi-level governance, transnational change, relations with minorities and transformation of delinquency. Core content includes: Comparative histories of the formation of national police systems; A discussion of centralised and decentralised police systems; International differences in community policing; A review of different police strategies in fighting delinquency and reducing urban disorder; A comparative analysis of different ways of controlling police misconduct; An exploration of different models of plural policing. While other books focus on policing in relation to measures effective in decreasing delinquency and augmenting security, this book considers the political, professional, administrative and political economic parameteTrade ReviewJacques de Maillard’s Comparative Policing distinguishes itself by attending to Gouldner’s maxim that "context is everything." De Maillard draws upon a wide range of relevant conditions to discern and interpret both broad and subtle patterns across several of the major elements of policing. An essential addition to the library of police scholars. Stephen Mastrofski, University Professor Emeritus of Criminology, Law & Society, George Mason UniversityThe police which originated as a genuinely national institution, has rarely been studied comparatively. With the increasing internationalisation of police work, police research is also beginning to formulate systematic comparative approaches - a perspective for which this highly recommendable book points the way. – Thomas Bierschenk, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, German."International comparison is now a major topic in police science. This book, written by a renowned scholar in this field, presents the major debates and topics of concern in the international police studies. A must-read for students, academics and others who are interested in the international dimensions of policing."Jan Terpstra, Professor of criminology, Radboud University, the NetherlandsThis book is a tour de force in comparative policing sociology. Jacques de Maillard offers a distinctive counterbalance to what he calls "the dominance of publications from the Anglosphere". His policing scholarship is impressive, and this book will become key reading for anyone with a serious interest in policing. Mike Hough, Emeritus Professor, Birkbeck, University of London.Comparative work on police is rare writes Jacques de Maillard, but quintessential to grasp general reconfigurations (Garland) together with local/national contexts, institutions, trajectories and circulations. With depth and erudition the book shows the contradictory demands on policing, regulatory approaches, constant reforms, contested legitimation and models of pluralisation. A formidable analysis for students of comparative policing, state reconfiguration and public policies.Patrick Le Galès, CNRS professor Sciences Po, Dean Sciences po Urban SchoolTable of ContentsIntroduction1 The formation of national policing systems2 Policing systems between centralisation and decentralisation3 Connecting the police and the public: experiments in community policing4 Crime fighting, the production of order and police performance5 Controlling the police force 6 The pluralisation of policing in comparative perspective Concluding comments

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Use of Biodiversity in International Law
Book SynopsisThis book presents a legal genealogy of biodiversity of its strategic use before and after the adoption of the Convention on Biological Diversity, 1993.This history of genetic gold' details how, with the aid of international law, the idea of biodiversity has been instrumentalized towards political and economic aims. A study of the strategic utility of biodiversity, rather than the utility of its protection under international law, the book's focus is not, therefore, on the sustainable or non-sustainable use of biodiversity as a natural resource, but rather on its historical use as an intellectual resource. Although biodiversity is still not being effectively conserved, nor sustainably used, the Convention on Biological Diversity and its parent regime persists, now after several decades of operation. This book provides the comprehensive answer to the question of the convention's continued existence.Drawing from environmental history, the philosophy of science, politicaTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Fear of Crime
Book SynopsisAn attention to the 'fear of crime' has found its way into governmental interventions in crime prevention and into popular discourse with many newspapers, local government and the like conducting their own fear of crime surveys. As a concept, 'fear of crime' has also produced considerable academic debate since it entered the criminological vocabulary in the 1960s.Bringing together a collection of new and cutting edge articles from key scholars in criminology, Fear of Crime challenges many assumptions which remain submerged in attempts to measure and attribute cause to crime fear. But, in questioning the orthodoxy of 'fear of crime' models, along with inquiries that have supposed that fear is objectively quantifiable and measurable, the articles collected here also offer new paradigms and methods of inquiry for approaching 'fear of crime'.

Book SynopsisLaw and the Politics of Memory: Confronting the Past examines law's role as a tool of memory politics in the efforts of contemporary societies to work through the traumas of their past. Using the examples of French colonialism and Vichy, as well as addressing the politics of memory surrounding the Holocaust, communism and colonialism, this book provides a critical exploration of law's role in belated' transitional justice contexts. The book examines how and why law has become so central in processes in which the past is constituted as a series of injustices that need to be rectified and can allegedly be repaired. As such, it explores different legal modalities in processes of working through the past; addressing the implications of regulating history and memory through legal categories and legislative acts, whilst exploring how trials, restitution cases, and memory laws manage to fulfil such varied expectations as clarifying truth, rendering homage to memory anTable of ContentsChapter I: Introduction, Chapter II: European Memory: Memory Claims and their Legal ‘Regulation’ in the European Union, Chapter III: France and Challenges to French Universalism: Towards Accepting Collective Responsibility for Vichy Crimes, Chapter IV: Trial About Discourse: Torture During the Algerian, Chapter V: Memory Laws and the Politics of Victimhood, Chapter VI: Conclusion: Why Law?, Bibliography, Index

Cambridge University Press Ashes and Sparks Essays On Law and Justice
Book SynopsisThis informed and unconventional view of the history, engineering and architecture of the justice system draws on the author's experience as a barrister, an academic and a judge, most notably in relation to the constitutional changes which have emerged in the last twenty years in the United Kingdom.Trade Review'This excellent book gathers lectures and articles which Stephen Sedley has composed over about thirty years, as advocate, trial judge and lord justice. Readers will be impressed, as I have been, by his learning and by the great sagacity of his judgments on many of the prime legal issues of our time.' Tom Bingham (1933–2010), former Senior Law Lord'This is a great book, with powerful insights in law and justice offered in a hugely enjoyable collection of witty essays. The book is of obvious interest to legal theorists and practitioners, but it is also astonishingly successful in bringing significant legal issues, even quite complicated ones, within easy reach of general public discussion.' Amartya Sen, Nobel Laureate, 1998'Stephen Sedley writes with such calm cadence and laid-back humour that it is only at the end of each chapter that you realise how persuasively radical his reflections are. Whichever way you look at it - judging this book by its cover, or covering this book by a judge - you are offered delight and enlightenment from beginning to end.' Albie Sachs, former judge, Constitutional Court of South Africa'Ashes and Sparks grapples with some of the fundamental justice issues facing modern nations. Justice Sedley's thoughtful - and sometimes provocative - comments on the evolution of the justice system in the United Kingdom, the role of Parliament and the courts, and the constitutional role of law in the search for social and individual justice, inform us and challenge us to think more deeply on these matters, so vital to our society.' Rt. Hon. Beverley McLachlin, Chief Justice of Canada'The best book I've read so far this year … You could have no interest in the law and read [this] book for pure intellectual delight, for the exquisite, finely balanced prose, the prickly humor, the knack of artful quotation and an astonishing historical grasp. A novelist could be jealous.' Ian McEwan, The New York Times'Brilliant, compassionate, engaged with society. These essays are a reflection of a remarkable mind. Astonishing that the originality and open-mindedness were not stamped out by the years of judicial toil. In and out of court, always a good read.' Sir Michael Kirby, Justice of the High Court of Australia, 1996–2009'A marvellous collection of essays, steering through profound questions of society, law and justice, which engages the reader in a lively and learned discussion of many themes. Stephen Sedley writes of judging and justice with the deep knowledge that comes from long experience of the law and rich experience of life. Many more sparks than ashes …' Jean-Paul Costa, President, European Court of Human Rights'In this remarkable and capacious volume, Stephen Sedley sifts the law with wit, wisdom and lucidity. As he brings his incisive intelligence and deep historical knowledge to the tensions between human rights and common law, to our competing rights and responsibilities, to the dysfunctions of the democratic system and the workings of justice, the very meaning of judiciousness takes on a new force. This is a book that anyone interested in our polity will savour.' Lisa Appignanesi, President, English PEN'What unites all these pieces is the sheer quality of writing.' Counsel'Instructive and entertaining in equal measure.' Socialist Lawyer'… an educational and enlightening read … the thrust of this collection of essays is the studied observations of an exceptional mind, not only about the legal systems in the UK and elsewhere, but perhaps more importantly about the human condition.

Harvard University Press Convicting the Innocent
Book SynopsisDNA exonerations have shattered confidence in the criminal justice system by exposing how often we have convicted the innocent and let the guilty walk free. In this unsettling analysis, Garrett examines what went wrong in the cases of the first 250 people exonerated by DNA testing, and proposes systemic reforms.Trade ReviewGarrett’s book is a gripping contribution to the literature of injustice, along with a galvanizing call for reform… It’s the stories in his book that stick in the memory. One can only hope that they will mobilize a broad range of citizens, liberal and conservative, to demand legislative and judicial reforms ensuring that the innocent go free whether or not the constable has blundered. -- Jeffrey Rosen * New York Times Book Review *Garrett’s book zooms out the view to give the reader a sense of the scope of the problems in our justice systems. But he does so in a way which I find both earnest and charitable. -- Andrew Cohen * The Atlantic *A uniquely valuable part of Garrett’s book is a statistical appendix that provides a quantitative overview of the false convictions, their consequences, and the factors that contributed to them… It is hard to imagine seven pages more damaging to the claims of our system of criminal justice. -- Richard C. Lewontin * New York Review of Books *Looking at the 250 people exonerated through DNA as of February 2010, Garrett aimed to determine how often…malignant factors had warped the criminal justice process at the expense of an innocent person (and to the benefit of an actual criminal who went unpursued). Garrett tracked down court transcripts and dug into case files. He then sliced, diced, sifted and collated the data. Some law professors would take a pass on this kind of grunt work. Garrett did not, and our justice system can be the better for it. -- Kevin Doyle * America *This book details some of the worst miscarriages of justice in U.S. history and describes how DNA evidence helped to right those wrongs… The book, what must be the most thorough treatment yet of wrongful convictions, is a first-rate examination of the human foibles and conflicts of interest hampering the pursuit of justice. -- A. C. Mobley * Choice *While false convictions are a recognized phenomenon, Garrett focuses much needed attention on potential solutions, offering concrete suggestions for reform. * Publishers Weekly *For six years now I have worked diligently within the innocence movement, and I often hear the question: ‘How do wrongful convictions happen?’ Convicting the Innocent gives all the answers. It is a fascinating study of what goes wrong, and it clearly shows that virtually all wrongful convictions could have been avoided. -- John GrishamDNA testing is revolutionizing our system of criminal justice: this book shows why. By digging deep into the case files of exonerees, Brandon Garrett uncovers what went wrong in those cases and probably in many more we simply can’t know about. Garrett makes a powerful case for how to improve criminal justice so that we dramatically reduce the number of wrongly convicted. -- Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, The Innocence ProjectThis is an invaluable book, a comprehensive, highly readable but well-researched work examining the hows and whys of the law’s ultimate nightmare—convicting the innocent. -- Scott Turow, author of InnocentIt’s common to say that DNA exonerations of innocent defendants provide a unique window on the weaknesses in our system of criminal investigation and trial. But what exactly do we see when we look through that window? Until now the answer has been pretty sketchy. Brandon Garrett has produced a far more detailed and complete picture of the lessons of DNA exonerations than anything else to date. This is an indispensable book for anyone wanting to understand or improve American criminal justice. -- Samuel R. Gross, Thomas and Mabel Long Professor of Law, University of MichiganHow can we stop sending innocent people to our prisons? As you turn the pages of this important and startling book, you will come to realize that wrongful convictions are not accidents. They are the tragic result of a criminal justice system in deep need of reform. -- Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking

Harvard University Press Not Enough
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewNo one has written with more penetrating skepticism about the history of human rights than Samuel Moyn…In Not Enough, Moyn asks whether human-rights theorists and advocates, in the quest to make the world better for all, have actually helped to make things worse…This book, like the author’s last, is the rare academic study that is sure to provoke a wider discussion about important political and economic questions. -- Adam Kirsch * Wall Street Journal *[Moyn] effectively provincializes an ineffectual and obsolete Western model of human rights…Moyn’s book is part of a renewed attention to the political and intellectual ferment of decolonialisation, and joins a sharpening interrogation of the liberal order and the institutions of global governance created by, and arguably for, Pax Americana…[The book’s] critical—and self-critical—energy is consistently bracing, and is surely a condition of restoring the pursuit of equality and justice as an indispensable modern tradition. -- Pankaj Mishra * London Review of Books *No one has done more than Samuel Moyn to unsettle the story of human rights as a triumphal march of upgrades from Magna Carta to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights…Not Enough asks us to rethink what human rights might accomplish if they were deployed not simply to set limits on state power, but to harness that power for the purpose of fostering economic equality. -- Benjamin Nathans * New York Review of Books *[S]peaks to the urgency of our contemporary politics… In Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World, Moyn suggests that our current vocabularies of global justice—above all our belief in the emancipatory potential of human rights—need to be discarded if we are work to make our vastly unequal world more equal… Best read as a companion history to Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Not Enough explains how—across the fields of development, moral advocacy, philosophy, and governmental policy—the ideal of sufficiency gradually supplanted what was once an ideal of equality for all… The apparent paradox exposed in Not Enough is what makes the book another tour de force: what are we to make of the fact that our age of human rights was coterminous with the age of neoliberalism? …Moyn implores us to consider: what is the value content of justice in our age of human rights, and how do we try to rectify inequality, if the social and economic rights enumerated in international human rights law put no ceiling on wealth creation? -- Patrick William Kelly * Los Angeles Review of Books *Why do the grimmest obscenities of economic inequality barely register on the human rights agenda? What is the historical explanation for this? Moyn’s book offers fresh and nuanced insight into these questions, surveying a dizzying array of protagonists, from eighteenth-century Jacobin revolutionaries to late twentieth-century Princeton postgrads. -- Adam Etinson * Times Literary Supplement *Not Enough makes it impossible to conceive of the current status of human rights in the same way again…[It] leads the critical and ethical heart to beat much faster. -- Mark Goodale * Boston Review *An engaging and illuminating intellectual history of the rivalry between those focused on rights and those who have insisted on a more substantively egalitarian approach to emancipation…Intended to help everyone, from policymakers to political theorists, avoid the mistakes of the past in order to shape the future more fairly. * Commonweal *Samuel Moyn breaks new ground in examining the relationship between human rights and economic fairness. If we don’t address the growing global phenomenon of economic inequality, the human rights movement as we know it cannot survive or flourish. -- George SorosPromises to cement [Moyn’s] reputation as one of the most trenchant critics of ‘liberal humanitarian’ foreign policy. -- Jon Baskin * Chronicle of Higher Education *[A] marvelous book. -- Nils Gilman * Los Angeles Review of Books *Human rights do not seem to be enough in our era of unshared affluence. Samuel Moyn’s fascinating and highly timely book explores how we ended up here despite the higher hopes for humanity pursued by multiple political and philosophical movements over the last two hundred years. This is essential reading for anybody who wants to understand the present age with its overwhelming challenges and breathtaking possibilities. -- Mathias Risse, author of On Global JusticeA brilliantly conceived and much-needed book on human rights and inequality. Moyn has a genius for writing history that is intelligent, surprising, and disciplined by fine judgment. -- Jedediah Purdy, author of After Nature: A Politics for the AnthropoceneMoyn provides important insights into how international and domestic inequalities have increased in recent decades…[His] trenchant critique of classical liberal economic and political thought questions many long-standing human rights assumptions.

Harvard University Press The Republic of Choice
Book SynopsisIn this exploration of modern legal culture, Friedman addresses how the contemporary idea of individual rights has altered the legal systems and authority structures of Western societies. Every aspect of law, he arguesfrom civil rights to personal-injury litigation to divorce lawhas been profoundly reshaped, reflecting the power of this concept.Trade ReviewFriedman’s book is a bold, imaginative, and carefully reasoned effort to describe the major characteristics of modern American law and its underlying social norms. Law, he urges, is not an autonomous discipline; it grows out of changing popular demands and values. How and why popular legal culture changed during the last century and a half is one important theme of this work. -- Maxwell Bloomfield, The Catholic University of AmericaThis book synthesizes much that has been going on in American culture, both in general attitudes and more specifically with respect to law and legal culture. There are few legal scholars that have Friedman’s breadth of background across a vast range of legal issues, and this shows in the wide variety of materials and examples that are brought to bear in behalf of his central thesis. The central theme that we are becoming a ‘republic of choice’ is given a fresh and inviting statement, one that will surely provoke interest. -- Stanton Wheeler, Yale Law SchoolThis is the first book that draws on the social research about law that has burgeoned in the last twenty years to produce a general interpretive characterization of contemporary American society. It is full of keen and original observations about the ‘legal culture’ and the public consciousness that informs and expresses it. -- Marc Galanter, University of Wisconsin Law SchoolTable of Contents1.

Harvard University Press Sexual Orientation and the Law
Book SynopsisAttitudes toward homosexuality range from condemnation to pity to indifference to respect. This range of viewpoints also appears in the legal community, reflected in legislation, legal decisionmaking, and legal scholarship. Sexual Orientation and the Law examines the legal problems faced by gay men and lesbians: the interaction between gays and the criminal justice system; discrimination in public and private employment; first amendment issues posed by gay students and teachers in public schools and universities; legal problems faced in same-sex relationships; child custody and visitation rights, as well as the ability to become foster and adoptive parents; and other contexts, including immigration, insurance, incorporation of gay rights organizations, and local legislation to prevent sexual orientation discrimination. The Introduction establishes a theoretical framework for approaching gay and lesbian legal issues, and an Afterword updates the comprehensive coverage of all legal developments through the summer of 1989. This review and analysis of the current state of the law is an important part of the discussion and debate that will make antigay discrimination recognized as a legitimate issue and gay concerns part of the mainstream of legal discourse.

Princeton University Press The Judge in a Democracy
Book SynopsisWhether examining election outcomes, the legal status of terrorism suspects, or if (or how) people can be sentenced to death, a judge assumes a role that raises some of the contentious political issues of our day. This title sets forth a vision of the role of the judge.Trade Review"Aharon Barak [states] that it is precisely because judges are not politicians that they are the right people to undertake the constitutional role of ensuring that the legislature and the executive comply with legal requirements... Barak points out that tension between the courts and other branches of government is natural and it is desirable. If the courts' decisions were always welcomed by the executive, judges would not be doing their job properly. Barak's thesis is ... of fundamental importance."--David Pannick, Times of London "Learned and perceptive, this work deserves the attention of any reader interested in the role that judges play, and ought to play, in a democratic republic."--Charles Gardner Geyh, Trial "Barak sets out in a systematic way, the questions, dilemmas and solutions he has adopted as a judge. He notes the principles that should guide judges in a democratic society, when faced with constitutional questions that have implications over and above the specific concerns of the parties to a legal disput... [E]ngaging and intellectually stimulating... The Judge in a Democracy should be a must read in any course or research on judicial and constitutional politics."--Menachem Hofnung, Law and Politics Book Review "Barak argues for striking a balance between the protection of human rights and the preservation of national security interests, but is most adamant in insisting that some degree of security might have to be sacrificed in order to preserve a nation's democratic essence... Barak has done much to humanize the role of the judge. He describes the process of interpreting law as a profoundly human one, in which the adjudicator is constantly balancing, testing, agonizing."--Benjamin Soskis, Forward "The Judge in a Democracy explains that there was nothing in either the US or the Israeli constitutions allowing judges to strike down acts of the legislature. Even so, he says, the courts in both countries have held that judicial review of legislation is implied by interpretation of the constitution."--Joshua Rozenberg, Daily Telegraph "Presenting a remarkably balanced view of the power and limitations of judges, President Barak offers a comprehensive yet humble account of the role of the judiciary within a democratic society."--Harvard Law Review "Barak's writing is not merely clear, it exudes the logical structure that the modern law endeavors, and often claims, to exhibit... For the professional of law ... Barak's book may serve as the beginning of a revealing look at the social role of the law."--Mathieu Deflem, European LegacyTable of ContentsIntroduction ix PART ONE: THE ROLE OF THE JUDGE 1 Chapter One: Bridging the Gap between Law and Society 3 Law and Society 3 Changes in Legislation and in Its Interpretation 4 Changes in Society Affecting the Constitutionality of Statutes 8 Changes in the Common Law 10 Change and Stability 11 Chapter Two: Protecting the Constitution and Democracy 20 The Struggle for Democracy 20 What Is Democracy? 23 The Separation of Powers 35 Democracy and the Rule of Law 51 Fundamental Principles 57 Independence of the Judiciary 76 Human Rights 81 Criticism and Response 88 PART TWO: THE MEANS OF REALIZING THE JUDICIAL ROLE 99 Chapter Three: Preconditions for Realizing the Judicial Role 101 Judicial Impartiality and Objectivity 101 Social Consensus 107 Public Confidence 109 Chapter Four: The Meaning of Means 113 The Legitimacy of the Means 113 Operative Legal Theory 113 Judicial Philosophy 116 Chapter Five: Interpretation 122 The Essence of Interpretation 122 Purposive Interpretation 125 Purposive Interpretation of a Constitution 127 Purposive Interpretation of Statutes 136 Purposive Interpretation and Judicial Discretion 146 Purposive Interpretation and Intentionalism (or Subjective Purpose) 148 Purposive Interpretation and Old Textualism 149 Purposive Interpretation and New Textualism 152 Chapter Six: The Development of the Common Law 155 The Common Law as Judge-Made Law 155 Judicial Lawmaking 157 Overruling Precedent 158 Chapter Seven: Balancing and Weighing 164 The Centrality of Balancing and Weighing 164 Balancing and Categorization 166 The Nature of Balancing 167 Types of Balancing 170 The Advantages of Balancing 172 Critique of Balancing and Response 174 The Scope of the Balancing 175 Chapter Eight: Non-Justiciability, or "Political Questions" 177 The Role and Limits of Justiciability 177 Types of Justiciability 178 Justiciability and Public Confidence 186 Chapter Nine: Standing 190 Standing and Adjudication 190 Standing and Substantive Democracy 194 Chapter Ten: Comparative Law 197 The Importance of Comparative Law 197 The Influence of Comparative Law 198 Comparative Law and Interpretation of Statutes 199 Comparative Law and Interpretation of the Constitution 200 Use of Comparative Law in Practice 202 Chapter Eleven: The Judgment 205 Formulating the Judgment and Realizing the Judicial Role 205 The Judge as Part of the Panel 208 PART THREE: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COURT AND THE OTHER BRANCHES OF THE STATE 213 Chapter Twelve: Tension among the Branches 215 Constant Tension 215 The Tension Is Natural and Desirable 216 The Attitude toward the State 217 Public Officials as Trustees 220 Duties of the Individual toward the State 222 Chapter Thirteen: The Relationship between the Judiciary and the Legislature 226 The Uniqueness of the Legislature 226 Judicial Review of Legislation 229 Judicial Review of Nonlegislative Decisions of the Legislature 231 The Dialogue between the Judiciary and the Legislature 236 Chapter Fourteen: The Relationship between the Judiciary and the Executive 241 The Scope of Review 241 Judicial Interpretation and Executive Interpretation 246 Executive Reasonableness 248 Proportionality 254 PART FOUR: EVALUATION OF THE ROLE OF A JUDGE IN A DEMOCRACY 261 Chapter Fifteen: Activism and Self-Restraint 263 Definition of the Terms 263 Some Definitions and Their Critiques 267 Definition of Activism and Self-Restraint 270 The Desirability of Activism or Self-Restraint 279 Chapter Sixteen: The Judicial Role and the Problem of Terrorism 283 Terrorism and Democracy 283 In Battle, the Laws Are Not Silent 287 The Balance between National Security and Human Rights 291 Scope of Judicial Review 298 Chapter Seventeen: The Role of the Judge: Theory, Practice, and the Future 306 Theory 306 Reality 310 The Future 310 Index 317

Stanford University Press Sir Edward Coke and the Elizabethan Age
Book SynopsisSir Edward Coke (1552-1634), the first judge to strike down a law, gave us modern common law by turning medieval common law inside-out. Through his resisting strong-minded kings, he bore witness for judicial independence. Coke is the earliest judge still cited routinely by practicing lawyers. This book breaks new ground as the first scholarly biography of Coke, whose most recent general biography appeared in 1957, and draws revealingly on Coke''s own papers and notebooks. The book covers Coke''s early life and career, to the end of the reign of Elizabeth I in 1603 (a second volume will cover Coke''s career under James I and Charles I). In particular, this book highlights Coke''s close connection with the Puritans of England; his learning, legal practice, and legal theory; his family life and ambitious dealings; and the treason cases he prosecuted.Trade Review"[Sir Edward Coke and the Elizabethan Age] is well written with flashes of brilliance." -- Sixteenth Century Journal"It would have been easy to provide a portrait of a successful if idiosyncratic lawyer, but Boyer gives us warts and all and manages to capture a real sense of the man himself." -- HISTORY"[Boyer] brings his subject vividly to life and writes with verve adn imagination, presenting a well-structured, comprehensive and impressively researched book that serves both the legal historian and the general reader very well. Sir Edward Coke and the Elizabethan Age should be considered by any student of Elizabethan history because, in exploring a great lawyer and the law, it also sheds light on politics, religion, culture and society. I will not be alone in looking forward to the second volume." -- Renaissance Studies"This is a magnificent...book. It is magnificent in that it tells an enormously affecting story that feels like a journey to Tudor England, a journey that Boyer gracefully leads, with splendid originality of voice....According to the book's (well-designed) jacket a second volume is forthcoming—and it is surely worth waiting for." -- Law, Culture, and the Humanities"This is a good book, carefully researched and written in an accessible and engaging style. It integrates the best recent scholarship which brings light to bear upon the historical milieu in which Sir Edward Coke rose to prominence." -- Australian Journal of Legal History

Taylor & Francis Ltd Political Economy of the Firm
Book SynopsisAn alternative theory of the firm is needed that helps better understand the nature and actual functioning of firms as well as the challenges raised by digital platform firms. In defining firms as economic collective ventures organised by political means, this book offers a political economy vision of firms.Specifically, the book provides an authority-based conception of the firm that supplies a theoretical grounding for democratic governance. It is argued that workers must be viewed as actors of the firm, not passive subjects of capital, given that authority is a non-coercive form of power. The book examines authority and subordination from the workers' perspective and argues that when workers accept authority, it is because they see it as facilitating mutually beneficial cooperation between people with divergent interests. As managerial authority is based on its acceptance by workers, it calls for legitimacy. Neither ownership nor the function that authority performs makes Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: The agency theory of the firm – Discarding authority and the collective Chapter 2: Authority in work organisations – Definitions and challenges Chapter 3: The firm considered from the work standpoint – Why do workers cooperate?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Global Financial Networked Governance
Book SynopsisGlobal Financial Networked Governance provides a careful analysis of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the standard-setters under its umbrella to show how such government networks harness the power of public reputation to herd their members into compliance. The FSB's track record in coordinating global financial regulatory reform is uneven. Some items on its agenda have seen the rapid evolution of globally coordinated regulatory standards and their implementation by all member states, sometimes even ahead of the stipulated timelines. In contrast, other initiatives have stalled at different stages of the policymaking process, global coordination is lacking, deadlines have been missed, and it is currently unclear when the post-crisis financial reform project will come to completion, if ever. In this book, the author asks the question: why has the FSB succeeded in some areas of its global financial regulatory coordination work and not in others? The book traces tTrade Review“Peter Knaack’s extremely interesting Global Financial Networked Governance provides an in-depth analysis of the Financial Stability Board as it relates to government networks in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. In doing so, Knaack discusses the uneven implementation record of the FSB with respect to three reform areas: prudential banking (Basel III), OTC derivatives, and ending Too-Big-To-Fail. Basel was a success, and Knaack uses the example to underscore his main point. Policies effectuated by government networks of regulators, in his view, are generally implemented consistently and quickly, whereas policies that are subjected to involvement by legislators tend to experience delays and cross-border inconsistencies. He notes that the place where Basel was implemented slowly was the place where the EU parliament got involved. Derivatives regulation and TBTF exhibit similar characteristics – where regulation alone is sufficient, regulatory cooperation works; where legislatures must be involved, regulatory cooperation can founder. The thesis is very plausible – we see similar dynamics in international trade rule compliance. And the discussions of the regulatory issue areas erudite and informed. I really enjoyed the book, and welcomed its contribution to the larger subject of international regulatory cooperation, and how it can prosper.”David Zaring, Elizabeth F. Putzel Professor of Legal Studies & Business Ethics at Wharton, University of Pennsylvania, USA“An original, important and timely contribution to our understanding of the politics of international standard setting in finance, the (at times, problematic) domestic implementation of the standards set, as well as the cooperation (or, in some instances, the lack thereof) among the main financial jurisdictions in the pursuit of financial stability. The novel theoretical perspective of the book, which examines the institutional pathways of policy-making, and its rich empirical analysis, which delves into various activities of the Financial Stability Board and related international standard-setting bodies, make this work a ‘must’ for those interested in the governance of global finance and, more broadly, global economic governance.”Lucia Quaglia, Professor of Political Science, University of Bologna, Italy“In Global Financial Networked Governance, Peter Knaack provides a detailed analysis of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and its work in three critical areas: the Basel III accord on capital, liquidity and leverage requirements; reforms of the over-the-counter derivatives market; and efforts to put an end to the fact that some banks are perceived to be too big to fail. Based on numerous interviews with key participants in the FSB’s activity over the 2010s, Knaack sheds unprecedented light on this important component of the global financial regulatory architecture, and provides unique reference material for future students of non-binding yet consequential rulemaking at the international level.”Nicolas Véron, Senior Fellow, Bruegel, Belgium; and the Peterson Institute for International Economics, USA“This book takes a multidisciplinary approach to explaining why the Financial Stability Board (FSB), as a representative example of global networks as opposed to intergovernmental organizations, has a mixed record in achieving global financial regulatory coordination. Drawing on firsthand interviews with stakeholders, the author provides a novel explanation that the legislative reluctance to empower the FSB has resulted in difficulty in compliance with globally coordinated regulatory standards. It takes a step further to raise a fundamental question about the legitimacy of implementing uniform global financial regulatory standards across the board. In addition to procedural legitimacy, it would be useful if the author can examine whether it is desirable to adopt a global standard financial regulatory framework given divergent financial structures for countries (such as small and local banks in developing countries versus large and internationally active banks in developed countries) at different stages of development in the future research. The book makes a great contribution to a better understanding of global financial governance.Jiajun Xu, Executive Deputy Dean, Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University, China“This scholarly and highly readable work deftly blends regulatory, financial and political insights. It is a model of the interdisciplinary research needed to confront real-world problems. Moreover, it addresses a question of fundamental importance. How do you effectively implement global policies when power rests in the hands of self-interested nation states? Knaack carefully examines the successes and failures of various, global projects initiated by the Financial Stability Board. He finds therein a model, the international ‘governance network’, that might be applied to other pressing global problems like climate change and the regulation of Artificial Intelligence. This book should be of immense interest to anyone interested in actually making change happen at the global level.”William White, Senior Fellow, C.D. Howe Institute, Canada, and Former Economic Adviser and Head of the Monetary and Economic Department, Bank of International Settlements (BIS)“In the wake of the global financial crisis there was a clarion call for better international regulation, yet the record is mixed. Why? In this carefully researched book, Knaack shows that when international technocratic networks could work unencumbered, reforms were more likely to succeed. But national legislatures were (rightly) wary of ceding power to unelected supranational bodies, often acting to stymie reform efforts. This book pinpoints a dilemma at the heart of global financial regulation: transnational networks of technocrats are effective at delivering international cooperation but are unaccountable, while national legislatures are accountable but ineffective, as they are not set up to cooperate across borders. Reconciling the tension between effectiveness and accountability is a vital challenge that international institutions like the financial stability board need to address. This book provides important and thought-provoking insights for scholars and policymakers alike.”Emily Jones, Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, UK, and Director of the University's Global Economic Governance ProgrammeTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the legal basis, under international law and the relevant regional legal frameworks, for the establishment and further development of area-based conservation tools in the Mediterranean Sea, with a particular emphasis placed on the transboundary area-based conservation instruments available for the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. Specifically, the aim is to identify and analyze the concepts and functioning of both marine protected areas (MPAs), as traditional area-based tools enabling marine habitat and species conservation, and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs), as a more recent addition to the picture. Further, with a view to providing responses to the complex set of challenges raised by the variety of tools and levels of intervention, conclusions and ways forward are provided that identify practical implementation instruments through which a truly transboundary perspective may guTable of ContentsForeword Preface Acknowledgements List of abbreviations and acronyms List of figures List of contributorsCHAPTER 1 Mitja Grbec and Tullio Scovazzi THE ADRIATIC AND IONIAN SEAS AS PART OF THE WIDER MEDITERRANEAN SEA 1.1.
