Edinburgh University Press Constituting Scotland
Book SynopsisThe rise of the Scottish national movement has been accompanied by the emergence of distinct constitutional ideas, claims and arguments - but the literature on constitutional design in Scotland is currently sparse. Drawing on the fields of constitutional theory, comparative constitutional law and Scottish studies, this volume examines the historical trajectory of the constitutional question in Scotland and analyses the influences and constraints on the constitutional imagination of the Scottish national movement, in terms of both the national and international contexts. It identifies an emerging Scottish nationalist constitutional tradition that is distinct from British constitutional orthodoxies but nevertheless corresponds to broad global trends in constitutional thought and design. Much of the book is devoted to the detailed exposition and comparative analysis of the draft constitution for an independent Scotland published by the SNP in 2002. The 2014 draft interim Constitution presented by the Scottish Government is also examined, and the two texts are contrasted to show the changing nature of the SNP''s constitutional policy: from liberal-procedural constitutionalism in pursuit of a more inclusive polity, to a more populist and majoritarian constitutionalism.

The tools in here will help practitioners get themselves 'match fit' for managing risk in a world where almost everything you thought you knew may turn out to be wrong." * Dr David Hancock, Director HM Government Cabinet Office – Infrastructure and Projects Authority; former Head of Risk for TfL *"Dr Miles has important and timely lessons for the effective management of corporate risk, but this book goes well beyond a narrow risk focus and, with its application of and insights from behavioural science, will be of interest to students and practitioners of ethics, culture and conduct in financial services and, indeed, more widely. I'd encourage all bankers, regulators and students to read this book, which balances well academic study with practical, real-world lessons and conclusions." * Simon Thompson, Chief Executive, Chartered Banker Institute *"A refreshingly enjoyable read, but more than that, a timely expert insight into why and how the financial sector has to change fundamentally the way it engages with politics and public goods.

Using Dr Miles's techniques to 'work risk-aware' makes good business sense, is highly engaging for all business people and is certainly a better basis for effective compliance than old fashioned box-ticking." * Scott Wallace, Chief Risk Officer and Executive Director – Governance, Legal, Risk & Compliance *"Many practitioners are at a loss how to deal with Conduct Risk, yet clearly it's a vital topic to understand, now that the threat of prosecution hangs daily over every senior manager. Roger Miles is one of the very few genuinely expert sources on what the science of 'behavioural regulation' means for day-to-day business practice. This is a great opportunity to gather his insights, and enjoy his lively curiosity about where regulation comes from and will take us to next." * Donald Macrae, Senior Consultant on Regulatory Reform, World Bank *"Roger Miles has done an excellent job of animating and explaining in plain English this challenging area of regulation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd SelfDefence and Religious Strife in Early Modern
Book SynopsisRecent research has begun to highlight the importance of German arguments about legitimate resistance and self-defence for French, English and Scottish Protestants. This book systematically studies the reception of German thought in England, arguing that it played a much greater role than has hitherto been acknowledged. Both the Marian exiles, and others concerned with the fate of continental Protestantism, eagerly read what German reformers had to say about the possibility of resisting the religious policies of a monarch without compromising the institution of monarchy itself. However, the transfer of German arguments to England, with its individual political and constitutional environment, necessarily involved the subtle transformation of these arguments into forms compatible with local traditions. In this way, German arguments contributed significantly to the emergence of new theories, emphasising natural rights.Trade Review'... provides both rich and contextualised accounts...Professor von Friedeburg has written a rich and stimulating book, and one that should play a distinguished role in further increasing our awareness of the European contexts of English political thinking...a most useful introduction to the political thought of early modern Germany...an important and valuable book.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Engendering Violence Heterosexual Interpersonal
Book SynopsisBringing together unique international research from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Europe, this book presents a detailed examination of the violence perpetrated by males and females within the context of childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Based on illuminating empirical studies it accurately locates the societal implications of violence against males and females as well as the legal, social and public responses to violence. Combining feminism and a related analysis of power, the book provides an introduction to the study of violence in general, and violence against males and females who know each other in particular. It outlines the major evolutionary, psychological, and sociological theories proposed to explain this social problem and the traditional methods of studying this topic. The book also examines child violence - in the playground, the classroom and the home; adolescent dating violence and adult violence, both male and female, within cohabitinTrade Review’This book provides an accessible overview of violence perpetrated by men and women on people they know. It provides a timely synthesis and critique of key feminist and power-focused debates on violence, using illustrative examples as well as rich ethnographic data. Undergraduate students with any interest in trying to conceptualize and understand violence will find many gems in this resonant text.’ Dr George Pavlich, Professor of Sociology, University of Alberta, Canada. ’Whether a student in the social sciences, or a professional in the social services, this book is essential reading for understanding the gendered nature of violence in personal relationships across the life span.’ Dr Sue Jackson, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand 'This book, while a 2002 publication, comes at a good time as we see major theoretical shifts in gender and interpersonal violence theories. Drawing from a number of post-structural and post-modern theories, this book adds to the discourse around there being an essential masculinity. It argues that behaviour is more likely to be configured by social, political and cultural discourses, rather than biology... I found this book a good read in relation to exploring at a more complex level the issues that present in the lives of the clients every day... The target audience is clearly an academic one and in that regard it stands up well to the rigor of academic scrutiny... This book does invite us to explore further many of the cornerstones of existing conceptualisation of heterosexual interpersonal violence.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Arguing and Justifying Assessing the Convention
Book SynopsisThis is the first book of its kind to address the crucial issue of why people choose to make Convention refugee claims. It represents a substantial and original contribution primarily to the field of refugee studies but also applicable for a broader readership of political science, international studies, sociology, law, history and womenâs studies. Furthermore, it theorizes the problems that face refugees by discussing the perception of the possible host countries. The conclusions of the book bear directly upon contemporary issues in refugee studies that suggest refugees move on the basis of (generally) extreme levels of persecution.Trade Review’This is a most original piece of work, impossible to pigeonhole by genre. It is everywhere touched by passion and a kind of ethical anger that can make even the most difficult research data seductive...Informing Barsky’s argument throughout is his wide reading in social, linguistic and literary theory. He draws on Marc Angenot, Chomsky and Bakhtin, especially, to make a powerful argument for the role of narrative construction in the hearings he describes. He articulates a discourse theory that will be of interest not only to those directly involved with refugee issues, but to those pursuing literary theory, sociolinguistics, postcolonial studies, as well as those working in law and literature.’ Michael Holquist, Yale University, USA ’...identifies some key and quite disturbing policy concerns in the field of refugee studies.’ Ethnic and Racial Studies 'Barksy's approach in general is refreshingly eclectic. He blends legal thought, literary criticism and discourse analysis, with a powerful moral outrage...The book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars and professionals working with asylum issues...' Journal of Refugee Studies 'Barsky's book offers radical and efficient critique of the legal structures which lock refugees into a state of vulnerability and powerlessness...Breaking inter-disciplinary barriers, Barsky opens the way to new and profitable research directions...the refugees' narratives...are lively and informative. An extensive bibliography by topics, as well as a list of refugee organizations and documentation centers around the world bring added value to an already interesting work.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Environmental Leaders and Laggards in Europe Why
Book SynopsisNo other European laws are so frequently violated as environmental directives. This informative and illuminating volume explains why member states have repeatedly failed to comply with European Environmental Law. It challenges the assumption that non-compliance is merely a southern problem. By critically comparing and analyzing Spain and Germany, the volume demonstrates that both northern leaders and southern laggards face compliance problems if a European policy is not compatible with domestic regulatory structures. The North-South divide is therefore much more complex than previously thought. Examining each country's capabilities of shaping European policies according to its environmental concerns and economic interests, the book debates the possible outcomes if the European Union does not come to terms with the leader-laggards dynamics in environmental policy-making. It will be a prime resource for anyone concerned with environmental policy-making and law, particularly within Trade Review’This book is a must for all interested in the implementation of European legislation. In linking systematic theoretical deductive reasoning with empirical richness, Tanja A. Börzel comes up with brilliant and surprising insights.’ Adrienne Héritier, European University Institute, Italy '"Environmental leaders and laggards" is an important contribution to our analytical understanding of differential compliance across the European Union as well as our knowledge of environmental protection in Germany and Spain. Borzel's in-depth research challenges long-held views about the "North-South" divide in environmental policy and in doing so identifies common "European" dynamics which help clarify the contemporary state of environmental protection in the European Union.' Professor Alberta M. Sbragia, UCIS Research Professor of Political Science and Director of the European Union Center and the Center for West European Studies , University of Pittsburgh, USA 'The book is highly recommended to scholars of environmental politics and EU governance. They will find original comparative data on member-state compliance performance and a wealth of empirical material related to the implementation of EU environmental laws in two of the EU's biggest member states.' Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy 'The author gives a general picture of the Environmental Laws and compliance problems across the European Union as well as making a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate in the field of EU environmental policy by comparing Germany and Spain.' The European Legacy '...supported by a rigorous, detailed and well-researched comparative case study...the research...presents a rich and complex picture of the two countries...the book is undoubtedly of value because it attempts to offer an alternative explanation for an important political problem...In doing so, it presents rich and detailed empirical material based on interviews and field research.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd PanAfrican Issues in Crime and Justice
Book SynopsisCriminology assumes the position of an established discipline, yet its influence is limited by its primary focus on the West for both theoretical and empirical substance. But the growing interest in comparative criminology now means that countries compare notes, thereby broadening the parameters of criminology. Still relatively ignored in the literature, however, are issues of crime and justice as they affect people of African descent around the globe. Drawing upon materials from countries in Africa, the Caribbean, North and South America, and Europe, this stimulating book reflects on the experiences of people of African descent to offer a convergence of criminologies in and outside the West. Simultaneously, it acknowledges Western criminology as a significant angle from which to comprehend crime and justice as they are conceptualized outside the West. The volume also investigates whether Western criminological accounts are relevant to the comprehension of crime, criminality and systems of justice in Africa, the Caribbean and South America.Trade Review’Pan-African Issues in Crime and Justice is a powerful and, in every sense, radical contribution to the criminological literature. It tackles neglected crime problems, unearths injustice, develops progressive lines of inquiry and offers radical proposals for the future. This collection is essential reading for students, academics and activists concerned with criminal justice in Africa and for communities of the diaspora.’ Professor Ben Bowling, King's College London, UK and University of the West Indies, Barbados ’...[a] timely collection of essays about the criminological crisis facing people of African descent...Pan-African Issues in Crime and Justice deserves a wide readership.’ Criminal JusticeTable of ContentsContents: Introduction, Anita Kalunta-Crumpton and Biko Agozino; Criminology and orientalism, Anita Kalunta-Crumpton; Human rights, gender and traditional practices: the Trokosi system in West Africa, Robert Kwame Ameh; Crime, justice and social control in Egypt, Jon Alexander and Camy Pector; Crime, social change and social control in Namibia: an exploratory study of Namibian prisons, Annelie Odendaal; Criminal fraud and developing countries, Udo C.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Elderly Legal and Ethical Issues in
Book SynopsisAging is a public health priority that is becoming increasingly important in both developed and less developed nations, with individual health care providers and law-makers each facing difficult ethical and policy dilemmas. The complex issues physicians deal with include informed consent and patient decision-making capacity, use of advance care planning and decision-making by family and medical staff, and withdrawing and withholding life-sustaining interventions. Broader questions include: has aging been over medicalized? Is it ethical for older patients to receive less medical care than younger ones, through unspoken practice or formal rationing? Is there inevitable conflict between the generations over scarce medical resources? How should physician, patient and family confront end-of-life decisions? How have different nations responded to increasing numbers of the elderly? Have social values changed as to family responsibility and individual autonomy?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Genetics and Gene Therapy The International
Book SynopsisGenetics and Gene Therapy shows the wide range of the debate and the very real significance that genetics and its associated developments have for human beings, individually and collectively. Few areas of science and medicine have resulted in the volume of academic and popular literature as has genetics. The so-called revolution in understanding of the causes of disease states, and even behavioural traits, has focussed public attention on the influence of genes in making us what we are. Rapidly, however, the potential benefits of such understanding were overtaken, in the public mind at least, by the question of the possible (negative) implications of genetic knowledge and associated technologies. The chapters in this volume show just how wide-ranging concern has become, ranging from regulation to cloning, with the fear of discrimination in between. Part One begins with a range of general discussions of about the genetic enterprise itself, followed by consideration of some specific Trade Review'... to those ... looking for a 'one stop shop' of current debates in a contentious new area spanning medicine and the law, this book brings together many of the key contributions.' - Health Sociology Review.Table of ContentsContents: Series preface; Introduction.
