Oxford University Press The Oxford Handbook of Law and Anthropology
Book SynopsisThe Oxford Handbook of Law and Anthropology is a ground-breaking collection of essays that provides an original and internationally framed conception of the historical, theoretical, and ethnographic interconnections of law and anthropology. Each of the chapters in the Handbook provides a survey of the current state of scholarly debate and an argument about the future direction of research in this dynamic and interdisciplinary field. The structure of the Handbook is animated by an overarching collective narrative about how law and anthropology have and should relate to each other as intersecting domains of inquiry that address such fundamental questions as dispute resolution, normative ordering, social organization, and legal, political, and social identity. The need for such a comprehensive project has become even more pressing as lawyers and anthropologists work together in an ever-increasing number of areas, including immigration and asylum processes, international justice forums, cuTrade ReviewContributors seek to identify and conceptualize the most promising areas of innovation and socio-legal relevance as well as to acknowledge the points of tension, open questions, and areas for future development. * Law & Social Inquiry *Table of ContentsGlobal perspectives on law & anthropology 1: Carol Greenhouse: Social Control through Law: Critical afterlives 2: Martin Chanock: Anthropology, Law, and Empire: Foundations in context 3: Sindiso Mnisi Weeks: South African Legal Culture and its Dis/empowerment Paradox 4: Pratiksha Baxi: The Ethnographic Gaze on State Law in India 5: Paul Burke: The Anthropology of Indigenous Australia and Native Title Claims 6: Brian Thom: Encountering Indigenous Law in Canada 7: Florian Stammler, Aytalina Ivanova, and Brian Donahoe: Russian Legal Anthropology: From empirical ethnography to applied innovation 8: Armando Guevara Gil: Indigenous Peoples, Identity, and Free, Prior, and Informed Consultation in Latin America 9: Do Dom Kim: Rule of Law and Media in the Making of Legal Identity in Urban Southern China 10: Dominik Müller: Islam, Law, and the State 11: Keebet von Benda-Beckmann: Law and Anthropology in the Netherlands: From Adat Law School to Anthropology of Law 12: Frédéric Audren and Laetitia Guerlain: Legal Uses of Anthropology in France in the 19th and 20th centuries 13: Balacz Fekete: Legal Ethnology and Legal Anthropology in Hungary 14: Michele Graziadei: The Anthropology of European Law Recurring themes in law and anthropology 15: Elizabeth Mertz: Within and Beyond the Anthropology of Language and Law 16: Anne Griffiths: Law as an Enduring Concept: Space, time, and power 17: Fernanda Pirie: Legalism: Rules, categories, and texts 18: Günter Frankenberg: Legal Transfer 19: Thomas Duve: Legal Traditions 20: Baudouin Dupret: The Concept of Positive Law and its Relationship to Religion and Morality 21: Matthew Canfield: Property Regimes 22: Markus Böckenförde, Berihun Gebeye: Law and Development 23: Mark Goodale: Rights and Social Inclusion 24: Lynette Chua: Human Rights Activism, Sexuality, and Gender Anthropology in law and legal practice 25: Alison Dundes Renteln: The Cultural Defence 26: Andrzej Jakubowski: Cultural Rights and Cultural Heritage as a Global Concern 27: Faris Nasrallah: Alternative Dispute Resolution 28: Richard A.

Oxford University Press The Evolution of Competition Law in New Zealand
Book SynopsisThe modern era of competition law in New Zealand began with the Commerce Act 1986. Since then, a steady and impressive corpus of case law had traversed all the usual major areas of antitrust law: cartels, resale price maintenance, exclusive dealing, tying, group boycotts, monopolization, mergers and acquisitions, exempted sectors, and the role of economic evidence. This volume explains the rationale for the various major reforms, the ongoing contestation between the Harvard and Chicago Schools of antitrust, and traces the developments of key concepts over the last 34 years.This title also explores systemic issues such as how well has New Zealand moulded its own competition law whilst nonetheless selectively drawing upon the policies, case law, and wisdom of foreign jurisdictions; how effectively has it faced the challenge of adapting its fledgling competition law to the reality of being a small, deregulated, open, and distant economy; and how successful was the application of competitiTrade ReviewAny person, whether judge, academic, practitioner or post-graduate student, with an interest in understanding competition law, will benefit greatly from reading this book ... Professor Ahdar has made a valuable addition to the jurisprudence on competition law. * Dr. RJ Desiatnik, Australian Journal of Competition and Consumer Law *Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: The Pre-Modern Period of Competition Law 3: The Goals of Competition Law 4: Horizontal Arrangements: From Price Fixing and Boycotts to Cartel Conduct 5: Vertical Arrangements 6: Powerful Firms and Monopolizing Conduct 7: The Undulating Path of Merger Policy 8: Granting Immunity: Authorization and 'Public Benefit' 9: Enforcement and Remedies 10: Retrospect and Prospect

Oxford University Press The Individual in International Law
Book SynopsisShifts across the corpus of international law have brought the international legal system into a closer alignment with the interests of the individual. This has led to a great and growing interest in the roles and status of individuals in international law, and provided new impulses for debate. The Individual in International Law is an exploration of what is described as the humanisation of international law. It examines how international law has accommodated individuals, and how individual status, rights, and obligations have become denser and more important in the international legal system. Split into two parts, the book analyses the humanisation of international law in different historical periods and from various theoretical perspectives. The first part focuses on the historical evolution of international law, exploring how the interests of individuals have shaped the development of the legal system from antiquity to 1945, providing a counterpoint to State-centric readings of inte

Oxford University Press Law in Modern Society
Book SynopsisProviding an introduction to law in modern society, D. J. Galligan considers how legal theory, and particularly H. L. A Hart''s The Concept of Law, has developed the idea of law as a highly developed social system, which has a distinctive character and structure, and which shapes and influences people''s behaviour.The concept of law as a distinct social phenomenon is examined through reference to, and analysis of, the work of prominent legal and social theorists, in particular M. Weber, E. Durkheim, and N. Luhmann. Galligan''s approach is guided by two main ideas: that the law is a social formation with its own character and features, and that at the same time it interacts with, and is affected by, other aspects of society. In analysing these two ideas, Galligan develops a general framework for law and society within which he considers various aspects including: the nature of social rules and the concept of law as a system of rules; whether law has particular social functions and how lTable of Contents1.

Oxford University Press Poor Justice How the Poor Fare in the Courts
Book SynopsisPoor Justice: How the Poor Fare in the Courts provides a vivid and informative account of what happens when the legal system decides cases in areas crucial to the poor''s economic and social well-being, including government benefits, child welfare, homelessness, the mental health system, education, and the criminal justice system. Drawing from court room observations, court decisions and supplementary legal and case materials, this book spans the street level justice of administrative hearings and lower courts (where people plead for welfare benefits or for a child not to be taken away), the mid-level justice of state courts (where advocates argue for the right to shelter for the homeless and for the rights of the mentally disabled), and the high justice of the Supreme Court (where the battle for school integration hPoor Justice: How the Poor Fare in the Courts provides a vivid portrait and appraisal of how the lives of poor people are disrupted or helped by the judicial system, from the lowest to the highest courts. Drawing from court room observations, court decisions, and other material, this book spans the street level justice of administrative hearings and lower courts (where people plead for welfare benefits or for a child not to be taken away), the mid-level justice of state courts (where advocates argue for the right to shelter for the homeless and for the rights of the mentally disabled), and the high justice of the Supreme Court (where the battle for school integration has represented a route out of poverty and the stop and frisk cases illustrate a route to greater poverty, through the mass incarceration of people of color). Poor Justice brings readers inside the courts, telling the story through the words and actions of the judges, lawyers, and ordinary people who populate it. It seeks to both edify and criticize.

Readers will learn not only how courts work, but also how courts sometimes help, but often fail, the poor.Trade ReviewPoor Justice is one of those rare books that is not only a riveting read, but also makes an important scholarly contribution. Vicki Lens's clear and engaging writing provides readers with a sobering analysis of how marginalized groups fare in the U.S. legal system. As a former legal services lawyer and social scientist, Vicki Lens shares an insider's knowledge with an outsider's critical eye. * Corey Shdaimah, PhD, LLM, Associate Professor, University of Maryland School of Social Work *Lens draws upon her rich experiences as a lawyer, social worker, and ground-level researcher to illuminate the daily experiences of people without income in the courts. Like almost no one else, she knows unglamorous but essential corners of law, including welfare hearings, commitment proceedings for people with mental disabilities, and family courts. This text is a fine primer on law for the poor - and on the uses and limits of all kinds of law. * Felicia Kornbluh, PhD, MA, Director of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies and Associate Professor of History, University of Vermont *Vicki Lens provides an insider's human perspective on how the courts can in fact work for the least advantaged in our society.

It makes for compelling reading and important scholarship about how the courts do indeed offer some basis for hope.

Oxford University Press Law as a Social System
Book SynopsisModern systems theory provides a new method for the analysis of society through an examination of the structures of its communications. In this volume, Niklas Luhmann, the theory''s leading exponent, explores its implications for our understanding of law.Luhmann argues that current thinking about how law operates within a modern society is seriously deficient. He lays out the theoretical and methodological tools that, he argues, can advance our understanding of contemporary society and in particular of the identity, performance, and function of the legal system within that society. In systems theory, society is its communications: they are its empirical reality; the items that can be observed and studied. Systems theory identifies how communications operate within a physical world and how different sub-systems of communication operate alongside each other.In this volume, Luhmann uses systems theory to address a question central to legal theory: what differentiates law from other socialTable of ContentsPreface ; Introduction ; 1.

OUP Oxford A Future for Policing in England and Wales

As a former chief constable with academic credentials, Brain writes with authority and insider status. The certainty that characterises many senior police officers is evident, balanced with academic rigour and good style. The book, I predict, will be valued as much as a history and analysis of the present as a forecast of possible futures. * Rob C. Mawby, The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice *Table of Contents1.

Oxford University Press The Idea of Labour Law
Book SynopsisLabour law is widely considered to be in crisis by scholars of the field. This crisis has an obvious external dimension - labour law is attacked for impeding efficiency, flexibility, and development; vilified for reducing employment and for favouring already well placed employees over less fortunate ones; and discredited for failing to cover the most vulnerable workers and workers in the informal sector. These are just some of the external challenges to labour law. There is also an internal challenge, as labour lawyers themselves increasingly question whether their discipline is conceptually coherent, relevant to the new empirical realities of the world of work, and normatively salient in the world as we now know it. This book responds to such fundamental challenges by asking the most fundamental questions: What is labour law for? How can it be justified? And what are the normative premises on which reforms should be based? There has been growing interest in such questions in recent yeTrade ReviewThe idea of labour law features 25 contributions from 29 leading experts in the field who challenge, in different ways, the way we think about labour law.

Oxford University Press Inc Getting By
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewGetting By would be particularly useful for legal aid organizations, law firms advocating for low-income individuals (pro bono or otherwise), public law libraries, law school libraries, and anyone interested in helping or learning more about services for economically disadvantaged people. It is recommended as a worthwhile acquisition. * Lei Zhang, Law Library Journal *Legal rights only become actual when people can understand them and act to defend them. To that end, this book is an admirably lucid tool to make the legal rights of the American poor real. More than that, Hershkoff and Loffredo show that the rights of the poor also shore up the rights of workers, and this understanding is fundamental and essential to the pursuit of class justice in the United States. * Frances Fox Piven, co-author of Regulating the Poor and Poor People's Movements *Getting By is an essential, go-to guide for the millions of low-income Americans struggling to understand their social and economic rights and how to access them. Lucid and reader-friendly but also precise and comprehensive, this marvelous book will be a vital resource for claimants negotiating the maze of federal programs and for advocates seeking to mobilize for much-needed legal reform. * David Garland, author of The Welfare State: A Very Short Introduction *Knowledge is power. This is the book that we need now to understand the economic rights that are still available to low income people in the U.S., as well as the frayed edges and gaping holes in the safety net. There are no better guides to the U.S. economic rights landscape than Hershkoff and Loffredo. Comprehensive, thoughtfully organized, and with lucid explanations of complex legal provisions, even experts will have something to learn from this volume. This should be a standard resource for anyone who engages with these issues, but this book will not stay on the shelf - you'll be reaching for it again and again to help you navigate, repair, and ultimately expand this vital system of fundamental rights. * Martha Davis, author of Brutal Need: Lawyers and the Welfare Rights Movement and co-author of Human Rights Advocacy in the United States *This book combines extremely useful guidance for low-income persons and their advocates through the labyrinth of the U.S. legal and welfare systems, with an exceptionally comprehensive and insightful overview of how key parts of those systems work and don't work. An invaluable resource. * Philip Alston, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights *At a time when economic inequality is threatening civil liberties, every policy maker, elected official, and journalist - indeed, anyone concerned about the future of the country - ought to know about the problems highlighted in this book and aim to achieve needed reforms. * Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director, ACLU *An important work that is as refreshingly practical as it is rigorously analytical. What a wonderful and impactful work to share with racial, social, and economic justice warriors. * Adriene Holder, Attorney-in-Charge, The Legal Aid Society, Civil Practice *Hershkoff and Loffredo have created a guide to the social safety net that is both comprehensive and easy to read. This is essential reading for students, legislators, legal aid lawyers, social workers, community organizers, or anyone who cares about our 21st century social safety net. * Philip Tegeler, President and Executive Director, Poverty & Race Research Action Council *This timely, essential book examines the ways that government policies hostile or indifferent to the economically marginalized have resulted in the increasingly, shockingly lopsided distribution of economic opportunity and access to even the most basic necessities of nutrition, health care, education, and housing. Pushing back against the growing divisions in the country, it calls out the structural forces that harm the unemployed, the under employed and the underpaid alike. Most importantly, it provides suggestions about what can and must be done to repair the damage to democracy caused by economic inequality. It is this rare balance between theory and practical application that makes this volume a necessity to anyone seeking to understand and address fully economy. * Dennis Parker, Executive Director, National Center for Law and Economic Justice *Hershkoff and Loffredo's volume is a comprehensive critique of the United States' poverty policies as they manifest in different facets of daily life. From food and housing to legal protection, and everything in-between, this in-depth account into the vast ramifications of past and present policy is as startling as it is vital. The authors inform the reader of the expansive socio-economic plights thrust upon the American working class and their rights. Moreover, this compelling book succeeds in unifying an often-divided populace under shared economic disenfranchisement. Getting By: Economic Rights and Legal Protections for People with Low Income is an exceptional chronicle of the United States' tumultuous political path towards equal economic mobility and security. Most impressively, it empowers the downtrodden and equips them with the necessary knowledge of their individual and collective power. * Inimai Chettiar, former Justice Program Director, Brennan Center for Justice *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rule of Law Common Values and Illiberal
Book SynopsisThis book challenges the idea that the Rule of Law is still a universal European value given its relatively rapid deterioration in Hungary and Poland, and the apparent inability of the European institutions to adequately address the illiberalization of these Member States. The book begins from the general presumption that the Rule of Law, since its emergence, has been a universal European value, a political ideal and legal conception. It also acknowledges that the EU has been struggling in the area of value enforcement, even if the necessary mechanisms are available and, given an innovative outlook and more political commitment, could be successfully used. The authors appreciate the different approaches toward the Rule of Law, both as a concept and as a measurable indicator, and while addressing the core question of the volume, widely rely on them. Ultimately, the book provides a snapshot of how the Rule of Law ideal has been dismantled and offers a theory of the Rule of Law in illiberTable of ContentsPreface Rule of Law: In Context Chapter 1 Tímea Drinóczi – Agnieszka Bie?-Kaca?a, Illiberal Constitutionalism and the European Rule of Law Rule of Law: A Common Value Chapter 2 Andrzej Madeja, The European Values and the Rule of Law Chapter 3 Wojciech W?och, ‘Where the Laws Do Not Govern, There is No Constitution’: On the Relationship between the Rule of Law and Constitutionalism Rule of Law in National Practice: Is It a Common Value?

Taylor & Francis Theories of Race and Racism
Book SynopsisTheories of Race and Racism: A Reader provides an overview of historical and contemporary debates in this vital and ever-evolving field of scholarship and research. Combining contributions from seminal thinkers, leading scholars and emergent voices, this reader provides a critical reflection on key trends and developments in the field.The contributions to this reader provide an overview of key areas of scholarship and research on questions of race and racism. It provides a novel perspective by bringing together readings on the key theoretical and historical processes in this area, the development of diverse theoretical viewpoints, the analysis of antisemitism, the role of colonialism and postcolonialism, feminist perspectives on race and the articulation of new accounts of the contemporary conjuncture. The contributions to this reader include classic works by the likes of W.E.B. DuBois, Stuart Hall and Frantz Fanon as well as timely pieces by contemporary scholars including Orlando Patterson, Patricia Hill Collins and Paul Gilroy.By bringing together a broad range of diverse accounts, Theories of Race and Racism: A Reader engages with various key areas of interest and is an invaluable guide for students and instructors seeking to explore issues of race and racism.Trade Review‘In the new edition of this vital resource, we are afforded a comprehensive review and reflection of the continued global role and influence of race and racism. As with earlier editions, Theories of Race and Racism's 3rd Edition will be an indispensable text for instructors and students alike in classrooms across the world’.Marcus Anthony Hunter, Professor of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles, USA‘This is an impressive collection of essays, ranging from the classics to the contemporary cutting edge. The extensively updated third edition of this essential collection again shows the editors’ commitment to providing the scholarly community with a historically rooted, in-depth overview of critical writings on race and racism. The result is a key volume on the theorization of race and racism, sophisticated and inventive in its conceptualization, and deeply attuned to the genealogies that we build on in our work on race and racism. Perhaps even more importantly, it is forward-looking, providing readers not only with an overview of historical developments, but also with incisive readings that focus on contemporary concerns in the field and suggest directions for new work. The lucid introduction lays out the stakes of theorizing race and racism in the current moment, while the readings gathered in the volume present multiple theoretical starting points rather than an argument that ‘one theory fits all’. As a result, the volume provides readers with a critical in-depth starting point for thinking about, conducting research on, and working towards social justice regarding race and racism’.Anna Korteweg, Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto, Canada‘In the field of race and racism, heated conflicts and controversies have recently often replaced respectful theoretical discussions and debates. This third edition of Theories and Race and Racism offers an incredible collection of papers, which could serve as a reference to restore the much needed open and informed theoretical discussions and debates about the very complicated issues related to race and racism today. A must read for open minded students, scholars, and activists’Marco Martiniello, Director of CEDEM (Center for Ethnic and Migration Studies), University of Liège, Belgium‘Theories of Race and Racism brings forth the best in classic and contemporary thinking on the concept of race and the phenomenon of racism in modern life. This third edition captures the evolution in social thought on these matters, including contributions that address the centrality of feminism as a focal point in modern thinking about them, and considerations of spatial dynamics as they affect modern conditions of race and racism. This volume continues to serve as essential reading for students, scholars, and others who are curious about why and how these two critical dimensions of life have endured’.Alford A.

Taylor & Francis Banking Law Private Transactions and Regulatory
Book SynopsisBanking regulation and the private law governing the bank-customer relationship came under the spotlight as a result of the global financial crisis of 2007â2009. More than a decade later UK, EU and international regulatory initiatives have transformed the structure, business practices, financing models and governance of the banking sector. This authoritative text offers an in-depth analysis of modern banking law and regulation, while providing an assessment of its effectiveness and normative underpinnings. Its main focus is on UK law and practice, but where necessary it delves into EU law and institutions, such as the European Banking Union and supervisory role of the European Central Bank. The book also covers the regulation of bank corporate governance and executive remuneration, the promises and perils of FinTech and RegTech, and the impact of Brexit on UK financial services. Although detailed, the text remains easy to read and reasonably short; pedagogic features such as a glossary of terms and practice questions for each chapter are intended to facilitate learning.

Instead, a mythology' of comprehensive national constitutional settlement has obscured the primary legal constitutional conundrum that is created by the requirement that a judiciary must always adapt its constitutional jurisprudence to the evolving values that aTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Law and Society
Book SynopsisThe thriving and well-established field of Law and Society (also referred to as Sociolegal Studies) has diverse methodological influences; it draws on social-scientific and arts-based methods. The approach of scholars researching and teaching in the field often crosses disciplinary borders, but, broadly speaking, Law and Society scholarship goes behind formalism to investigate how and why law operates, or does not operate as intended, in society. By exploring lawâs connections with broader social and political forcesâboth domestic and internationalâscholars gain valuable perspectives on ideology, culture, identity, and social life. Law and Society scholarship considers both the law in contexts, as well as contexts in law.Law and Society flourishes today, perhaps as never before. Academic thinkers toil both on the mundane and the local, as well as the global, making major advances in the ways in which we think both about law and society. Especially over the last four decades, scholarly output has rapidly burgeoned, and this new title from Routledgeâs acclaimed Critical Concepts in Law series answers the need for an authoritative reference collection to help users make sense of the daunting quantity of serious research and thinking.Edited by the leading scholars in the field, Law and Society brings together in four volumes the vital classic and contemporary contributions. Volume I is dedicated to historical antecedents and precursors. The second volume covers methodologies and crucial themes. The third volume assembles key works on legal processes and professional groups, while the final volume of the collection focuses on substantive areas. Together, the volumes provide a one-stop âmini libraryâ enabling all interested researchers, teachers, and students to explore the origins of this thriving subdiscipline, and to gain a thorough understanding of where it is today.
