The University of Chicago Press The Rise and Fall of Morris Ernst Free Speech
Book SynopsisSamantha Barbas presents a long-overdue biography of the legendary civil liberties lawyer—a vital and contrary figure who both defended Ulysses and fawned over J. Edgar Hoover.Trade Review"A fascinating and thoroughly researched biography of an important twentieth-century figure whose tragic flaws denied him a place of honor in the roster of great civil liberties lawyers despite his remarkable accomplishments. . . . Barbas’s engrossing and lucid examination of the rise and fall of Morris Ernst comes at an opportune time." * Los Angeles Review of Books *“A lively and illuminating portrait of one of the major figures in the history of American civil liberties. Barbas captures Ernst in all his glory and complexity, revealing how a man who was once the country’s leading liberal lawyer became a red-baiter and Hoover ally. Meticulously researched and elegantly written, The Rise and Fall of Morris Ernst is biography and legal history at its finest.” * Thomas Healy, author of The Great Dissent: How Oliver Wendell Holmes Changed His Mind—and Changed the History of Free Speech in America *“Does Morris Ernst need a biography? Yes, definitely. His is a fascinating story of a major civil libertarian who pioneered the expansion of freedom in American life then blew it all through obsessive anti-Communism. Barbas writes beautifully, and this lively, lucid book is a pleasure to read. More than that, her biography is especially significant today since so many of the issues Ernst fought against are still urgently relevant in American political discourse.” * Ellen Schrecker, author of The Lost Promise: American Universities in the 1960s *“How could one man have been both a leading defender of the First Amendment and an avid fan of J. Edgar Hoover? Barbas’s fascinating biography answers that question by telling the remarkable story of one of the nation’s most influential, and complicated, civil liberties lawyers.” * David Cole, national legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union *“Ernst was a singular warrior for the freedom of expression, ultimately undone by his paradoxical embrace of Hoover and McCarthy. Barbas’s biography is a sharp, fast-paced account of a twentieth-century civil libertarian who fought for causes that are still vital today.” * Nadine Strossen, author of HATE: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech, Not Censorship *"The ACLU’s general counsel for decades, Morris Ernst was renowned for his audacious fights against artistic censorship in the US. He successfully defended Ulysses against obscenity charges,litigated groundbreaking reproductive rights cases, and supported the widespread expansion of protections for sexual expression, union organizing, and public speech. Yet Ernst was also a man of stark contradictions, waging a personal battle against Communism, defending an autocrat, and aligning himself with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s inflammatory crusades. Barbas concludes that Ernst both transformed free speech in America and inflicted damage to the cause of civil liberties." * Law & Social Inquiry *"Barbas’s book, which has a much broader scope than the Ulysses litigation, is a timely and important reminder that individual action can make a difference." * James Joyce Quarterly *"Barbas’s qualifications as a law professor and First Amendment scholar serve readers well, particularly when she discusses how Ernst eschewed precedents in the courtroom and focused, instead, on making forceful legal arguments that often were grounded in contemporary community standards. Through flowing prose and carefully selected evidence from a wide range of sources, Barbas brings Ernst’s life and sometimes-contradictory career into clear focus." * The Journal of American History *"Samantha Barbas’s The Rise and Fall of Morris Ernst, Free Speech Renegade is a crisp, lively biography of New York City lawyer Morris Leopold Ernst. Barbas presents a valuable account of the life and career of the long-neglected Ernst (1888–1976)." * American Historical Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1 Early Years 2 Williams 3 New York 4 Greenbaum, Wolff, and Ernst 5 Adventures 6 Free Speech Lawyer 7 To the Pure 8 The Sex Side of Life 9 Sex Wins in America 10 Troubled Times 11 Freedom for the Thought That We Hate 12 Ulysses 13 The Importance of Being Ernst 14 Defending the New Deal 15 The Champion of Freedom 16 The National Lawyers Guild 17 Ernst vs. Hague 18 Controversy in the ACLU 19 The Turning Tide 20 Ernst at His Worst 21 Desperate Moves 22 Utopia 1976 Acknowledgments Notes

Book SynopsisA charismatic and controversial figure, Lacan is one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century and his work has revolutionized linguistics, philosophy, literature, psychology, cultural and media studies.He gained his reputation as a lecturer, disseminating his ideas to audiences that included Jean-Paul Sartre and Luce Irigaray amongst other hugely influential names. The Ethics of Psychoanalysis is a transcript of his most important lecture series. Including influential readings of Sophocles' Antigone and Elizabethan courtly love poetry in relation to female sexuality, The Ethics of Psychoanalysis remains a powerful and controversial work that is still argued over today by the likes of Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek. Trade Review"Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Georges Bataille had often urged Lacan to publish the text of his seminars: the influence of his teaching can be observed in works by Maurice Blanchot and Michel Foucault ... in Roland Barthes's studies on semiology and Louis Althusser's reading of Marx. But it can be felt still more basically [in] the current revival of interest in psychoanalysis . . . the desire for a return to origins which is a common factor in so many avenues of modern thought."

University of California Press Contested Ground
Book SynopsisThe Trump presidency was not the first to spark contentious debates about presidential power, but its impact on these debates will reverberate far beyond his term. The same rules must apply to all presidents: those whose abuses of power we fear, as well as those whose exercises of power we applaud. In this brief but wide-ranging guide to the presidency, constitutional law expert Daniel Farber charts the limits of presidential power, from the fierce arguments among the Framers to those raging today. Synthesizing history, politics, and settled law, Contested Ground also helps readers make sense of the gaps and gray areas that fuel such heated disputes about the limits of and checks on presidential authority. From appointments and removals to wars and emergencies, Contested Ground investigates the clashes between branches of government as well as between presidential power and individual freedom. Importantly, Farber lays out the substance of constitutional law and the way it is entwinTrade Review"While Contested Ground challenges the public perception that presidents have nearly unlimited authority, it also stresses that legal checks and balances only go so far." * California Magazine *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction 1.

Cambridge University Press International Law
Written by one of the world's leading international lawyers, this is a landmark publication in the teaching of international law. International law can be defined as 'the rules governing the legal relationship between nations and states', but in reality it is much more complex, with political, diplomatic and socio-economic factors shaping the law and its application. This refreshingly clear, concise textbook encourages students to view international law as a dynamic system of organizing the world. Bringing international law back to its first principles, the book is organised around four questions: where does it come from? To whom does it apply? How does it resolve conflict? What does it say? Building on these questions with both academic rigour and clarity of expression, Professor Klabbers breathes life and energy into the subject. Footnotes point students to the wider academic debate while chapter introductions and final remarks reinforce learning.

Harvard University Press Legal Lessons
Book SynopsisLegal Lessons examines how China's party-state attempted to motivate ordinary citizens to learn laws during the Mao period. Archival records, advice manuals, and colorful propaganda materials reveal how official attempts to promote correct understanding of laws intersected with the interpretations and practical experiences of the people.Trade ReviewWhile the book is focused on China’s two most important urban centers, Altehenger’s careful work in the Beijing and Shanghai archives, complemented by local gazetteers and restricted internal documents, rewards readers with a multilayered depiction of cultural work in the PRC. -- Brian DeMare * China Journal *This terrific book makes a significant contribution to the understanding of propaganda in China as well as to the fields of law, politics and history of the PRC…Altehenger’s analysis contributes mightily to our understanding of the period that she examines, but also is useful in appreciating the dilemmas of law in China today. -- Pitman B. Potter * China Quarterly *A thorough and accessible account of a very complex and important topic, and it deserves wide readership. The book will prove especially helpful for researchers interested in the PRC legal system, Chinese legal history, China’s governance capacity, and its state-society relations. -- Ji Li * China Review International *Drawing upon abundant archival records, internal reports, newspapers, and posters, Altehenger offers a fresh look into the CCP’s campaigns of disseminating legal knowledge. Her vivid accounts not only demonstrate the significant role of mass legal education in China’s socialist governance, but also disclose the complex dynamics between party leaders, propaganda officials, state and private publishers, and cultural workers in various campaigns. -- Weiting Guo * Pacific Affairs *A pioneering account of how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) endeavored to use legal propaganda to mold ideological consciousness and valorize the disparate phases of its revolution between 1949 and 1989…Altehenger has filled a key gap in the literature on the PRC legal system with an engaging, richly sourced study that bridges multiple fields of scholarship…Her book will appeal to historians of modern China, culture, and law, as well as to observers of the contemporary PRC, and that is an exceptional feat. -- Glenn Tiffert * Law and History Review *Exhaustively researched and methodologically innovative, Legal Lessons is a must-read not only for PRC historians but also for legal historians of China and elsewhere. It redresses a glaring paucity of scholarship in an important field and provides a deeply textured narrative of the continued tussle between state and society over the varied meanings of law. By crossing important epochal divides, it also places China’s ongoing legal reforms in their proper historical context to demonstrate how they were not exclusively inventions of the post-Mao government seeking to rebuild its political legitimacy and rejoin the global economy. -- Philip Thai * PRC History Review *An important work for scholars interested in the cultural dimensions of the law, Maoist-era mass political campaigns, and the comparative study of socialist states. -- Joshua Hill * Twentieth-Century China *When it seized power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party abolished the modern legal codes of the Republican era and created ‘socialist law’ for the new People’s Republic. Altehenger places the Chinese experience firmly within the world of the ‘socialist brother countries.’ This is not a book about rule by law, but the story of rule by propaganda. Going far beyond legal history, it is a compelling study of the enduring political culture of a regime that still argues today that it need not abide by its own constitution. -- William C. Kirby, T. M. Chang Professor of China Studies and Spangler Family Professor of Business Administration, Harvard UniversityA major scholarly accomplishment, Legal Lessons masterfully details how the Chinese state over forty years spread knowledge about law. By providing an extraordinarily deft portrayal of the deep internal conceptual and practical tensions that the party-state encountered in endeavoring to use law as a governing instrument, and the intricate ways in which China’s populace received and understood those messages, Altehenger shows that creating law for a new China was far more complex an undertaking than had previously been presumed. -- William Alford, Henry L. Stimson Professor, Harvard Law SchoolThis is a beautifully researched and illuminating study of how the Chinese communist state has struggled to popularize laws since the 1950s through campaigns around the Marriage Laws, various drafts of the constitution, and more general legal awareness. It demonstrates the importance of law to the communist state throughout its history and the crucial role of culture and the media in how law has been understood. -- Henrietta Harrison, Professor of Modern Chinese Studies, University of Oxford China CentreLegal Lessons links the practice of legal education in the early PRC to the larger international project of socialist lawmaking, and raises new questions about the relationship between legal propaganda, legal ‘reform,’ and the quest for new kinds of legal polities in the late twentieth century and beyond. Altehenger’s masterful study provides a critical foundation for understanding the Chinese path to that contested condition we call rule of law. -- Madeleine Zelin, Dean Lung Professor of Chinese Studies, Columbia UniversityWith its wide-ranging implications, Legal Lessons is worth learning! It presents a whole new way to comprehend radical attempts made by the Chinese state to inculcate legal knowledge among the people—and thereby transform society—at pivotal moments in China’s recent past. -- Karl Gerth, Hsiu Endowed Chair in Chinese Studies and Professor of History, University of California, San Diego

Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing Lord Denning
Book SynopsisLord Denning was the most famous English judge of the twentieth century. Arguably, he was the most famous of any century. His judgments were legendary for both their style and substance. The style was instantly recognisable, with his short sentences and unique method of storytelling. The substance was always less about law and more about justice, as Denning looked for the fairest outcome to every case before him. Over time, Denningâs views on justice and his manipulation of precedent became increasingly controversial. As society changed around him, headhered rigidly to the Edwardian morality of his childhood. His report on the Profumo Affair â the most sensational political scandal of post-war Britain â was dismissed by some as an âestablishment whitewashâ. His rulings in trade union disputes earned him many critics, while his dismissal of the appeal of the âBirmingham Sixâ falsely convicted of a terrorist atrocity became notorious when a gross miscarriage of justice was later uncovered. Yet enough goodwill remained for him to be called after his death âthe best-known and best-loved judge in the whole of our historyâ by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Bingham. For all his controversies, there is no question that Denning led an extraordinary life. Born into a family of modest means in a small Hampshire town in 1899, he went on to gain two firsts from Oxford and a commission in the First World War, before becoming a successful barrister and serving almost 40 years as a senior judge. This book looks at that remarkable life story as well as assessing Denningâs legacy, showing how he continues to influence, inspire and occasionally infuriate.Trade Review"In this excellent book, James Wilson has managed to capture both the man and the judge." From the foreword by Rt Hon Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury "easy to read, full of interesting information and very well produced... a readable, honest and accurate portrait of the man and some of his most interesting and significant judgments." The Law Society Gazette "This is not the first book to have considered Denning's career nor is likely to be the last; but, by making full use of archive material in its treatment of Denning's life outside as well as inside the law ...it is for now the best." The Times Literary Supplement "A review of Lord Denning's life and work from a greater distance and perhaps with more rounded perspective than earlier biographies is certainly welcome... provides not only a detailed, insightful, and accessible account of Lord Denning's life and career; it also includes reliably succinct and yet scholarly accounts of his contributions... one can only agree with Lord Neuberger's assessment in the foreword that 'Wilson has managed to capture both the man and the judge'.

Book SynopsisIn recent years the subject of freedom of expression has become a topic of heated debate. Freedom of Expression in Islam offers the first and only detailed presentation in English of freedom of expression from both the legal and moral perspectives of Islam. This work is a pioneering attempt in examining both the evidence on freedom of expression in the sources of the Sharia and the limitations, whether moral, legal or theological, that Islam imposes on the valid exercise of this freedom. Freedom of Expression in Islam is informative not only on the subject of the possibilities of freedom of expression within Islam, but also on the cultural tradition of Islam and its guidelines on social behaviour.

Cambridge University Press The Profit Motive
Book SynopsisThe Profit Motive addresses questions of corporate purpose using historical, legal, and economic perspectives. It counters proponents of social corporate responsibility and defends the maximization of shareholder value and shareholder capitalism, as both what the law requires and what it ought to require.Trade Review'The Profit Motive is both a brilliant defense of the principle at the heart of capitalist prosperity and a clinical demolition of 'stakeholder' theory. A true master of his craft, Bainbridge not only knows everything worth knowing about his subject but expresses it with vigor, grace and, a wry sense of humor. A must-read for anybody who wants to understand what makes corporations thrive--and how to preserve them from death by good intentions.' Adrian Wooldridge, Bloomberg Opinion'Professor Bainbridge has authored an extraordinary book. It is both superb scholarly and yet at the same time highly accessible to the non-lawyer. This is a must read both for corporate law scholars and, more importantly, the public company director community.' Charles M. Elson, University of Delaware'Professor Bainbridge brings his unsurpassed expertise and scholarship around corporate governance to the discussion of ESG and stakeholder capitalism, convincingly arguing that the notion of business extending its focus beyond shareholders has no basis in the law, provides no actionable guidance to corporate directors, and ultimately yields no benefit to society.' Marc Hodak, Farient Advisors'Should directors of business corporations seek to maximize value for the corporation's shareholders, or should they make business decisions with a view to benefiting all corporate stakeholders? Professor Bainbridge's conclusions are thunderingly unequivocal: shareholder value maximization is both what the law requires and what the law ought to require; in the long run, it produces the best outcomes for shareholders and other constituencies and is the system appropriate for a democratic society. Everyone interested in what is happening in corporate America today - and how it could affect them, economically and otherwise - should read this book.' Robert T.

Taylor & Francis Ltd International Law and Posthuman Theory
Book SynopsisAssembling a series of voices from across the field, this book demonstrates how posthuman theory can be employed to better understand and tackle some of the challenges faced by contemporary international law.With the vast environmental devastation being caused by climate change, the increasing use of artificial intelligence by international legal actors and the need for international law to face up to its colonial past, international law needs to change. But in regulating and preserving a stable global order in which states act as its main subjects, the traditional sources of international law â international legal statutes, customary international law, historical precedents and general principles of law â create a framework that slows down its capacity to act on contemporary challenges, and to imagine futures yet to come. In response, this collection maintains that posthuman theory can be used to better address the challenges faced by contemporary international law. Covering a wide array of contemporary topics â including environmental law, the law of the sea, colonialism, human rights, conflict and the impact of science and technology â it is the first book to bring new and emerging research on posthuman theory and international law together into one volume.This bookâs posthuman engagement with central international legal debates, prefaced by the leading scholar in the field of posthuman theory, provides a perfect resource for students and scholars in international law, as well as critical and socio-legal theorists and others with interests in posthuman thought, technology, colonialism and ecology.Chapters 1, 9 and 11 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.Trade Review“How do ‘we’ move beyond the Eurocentric, hetrosexist and humanistic binds of international law? As much critical scholarship has demonstrated, it is not through more law. This wide-ranging collection, written by some of the most exciting thinkers of international law and posthumanism, provides readers with ways of thinking otherwise – ways out of the binds. This is critique as hope.” Maria Elander, La Trobe University, Australia"The chapters of this book offer, each in their specific manner and through different angles, multi-directional answers, provide examples and illustrations of what is at stake. They share one, empowering belief, which I take as axiomatic, namely that posthuman legal thought aims to critique the humanistic, Eurocentric, normative and heterosexist core of legal theory and practice, in order to make it more inclusive and less discriminatory. In so doing, they make room for the non-human, more-than-human entities, agents and subjects of our posthuman times. The intertwined critiques of humanism and anthropocentrism serve to illuminate contemporary patterns of power, subjugation, injustice and exploitation. And to offer ways out."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Private International Law and Arbitral
Book SynopsisInternational commercial arbitration and litigation are often seen as competing fora, fields of law, or markets. This intersection is at its highest at the forefront of any proceedings, at the jurisdictional stage. The analysis of jurisdictional issues at the forefront of an arbitration has been confined in a descriptive analysis of the law and jurisprudence, dealing with jurisdictional intersections almost in a mechanistic manner. These are not, however, issues which can be treated as mere mechanical rules. They are issues pertaining to core notions of authority, sovereignty, their origins and their allocation. At the same time, the pragmatic and practical domination of party autonomy is a fact which cannot be disregarded when one considers the normative and theoretical foundations of any model of dealing with these issues. This book moves beyond an analysis of arbitration and jurisdiction clauses to reconcile theory and practice, and provides an underlying theoretical model to expTable of Contents1 Introduction 1.1 Arbitral Jurisdiction in Private International Law and Arbitration1.1.1 Jurisdiction as Adjudicatory Competence in Cross-border Disputes1.1.2 Jurisdiction, Arbitration, and Party Autonomy1.2 Recurring Themes1.2.1 Arbitral Jurisdiction and Parallel Proceedings in International Commercial Disputes1.2.2 Private International Law Analysis of Arbitral Jurisdiction: Comparison, Parallels, and Transposition1.2.3 Economic Globalisation, Global Law, and Arbitral Jurisdiction1.2.4 Jurisdictional Focus: Arbitral Jurisdiction in England and Wales1.3 The Enquiry1.3.1 Research Question1.3.2 Contribution to Knowledge1.3.3 Scope1.3.4 Structure2 Globalisation and Commercial Disputes2.1 Globalisation and the Rise of Private Actors in International Commerce2.2 State Interests in Private Commercial Disputes2.3 Private Interests and Risks in International Commercial Transactions and Disputes2.4 Arbitration, Merchants, and International Commercial Disputes2.4.1 Arbitration as a Dispute Resolution Method for Merchants2.4.2 Arbitral Jurisdiction in the Context of International Commercial Disputes3 Cross-border Jurisdiction in Commercial Disputes3.1 Jurisdictional Issues in International Commercial Disputes3.1.1 Jurisdictional Disputes and Private International Law3.1.2 Tactical Nature of Jurisdictional Disputes3.1.3 Party autonomy and jurisdiction3.2 Jurisdictional Issues in International Arbitration3.2.1 Traditional doctrinal approach to arbitral jurisdiction3.2.2 Jurisdictional Intersections4 Party Autonomy in Private International Law and Arbitration4.1 Traditional Paradigms of Private International Law and Party Autonomy4.2 Creature of Contract or Creature of Party Autonomy?4.3 Arbitration Agreements as an Expression of Party Autonomy in International Commercial Arbitration4.3.1 Common Law – Contractual Paradigm4.3.2 Civil Law approach – Procedural Contracts4.3.3 Dual nature and Effects of Arbitration Agreements4.4 Arbitration, Party Autonomy, and International Commercial Dispute Settlement5 Existing Approaches For Regulating Arbitral Jurisdiction5.1 Regulation of Jurisdictional Issues in International Instruments5.1.1 New York Convention 19585.1.2 Parallels from the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements5.2 Regulation of Arbitral Jurisdiction in a Comparative Context5.2.1 New French Code of Civil Procedure—A rule of Temporal Priority5.2.2 United States of America – Separability as a Delineating Mechanism5.2.3 Germany—Abandoning a rule of contractual competence-competence5.3 Theoretical Models of Regulating Arbitral Jurisdiction5.3.1 Rau’s Solar System5.3.2 Paulsson’s Presumptive Allocation of Authority5.3.3 Reversing the Default Position6 A global law model for arbitral jurisdiction6.1 A Contemporary Private International Law Proposal on Arbitral Jurisdiction: from Subordination to Synergy6.1.1 Fitting Party Autonomy to the Traditional Paradigms or Changing the Paradigm?6.1.2 Arbitral jurisdiction in a Shifting Paradigm of Dispute Resolution6.1.3 Horizontal Model of Arbitral Jurisdiction6.2 Adopting the Proposed Model6.2.1 Top-down adoption via multilateral treaties and model laws6.2.2 Arbitral Jurisdiction and State Regulatory Competition6.2.3 Private Regulation and Arbitral Jurisdiction6.2.4 Horizontal Choice and English Commercial Arbitration and Litigation7 Arbitral jurisdiction from a state court’s perspective7.1 Stay of Proceedings7.1.1 Stay of Proceedings under Section 9 Arbitration Act 19967.1.2 Inherent/Case Management Stays7.1.3 Restated Approach7.2 Declarations of Validity: Cost Management Tools or Jurisdictional Encroachment?7.2.1 Declaration under Section 32 of the Arbitration Act 19967.2.2 Powers under Section 72 of the Arbitration Act 19967.2.3 Restated Approach7.3 Enforcement of Arbitration Agreements: Traditional and Equitable Remedies7.3.1 Court-Ordered Anti-Suit Injunctions7.3.2 Specific Performance Order: the Positive Obligation7.3.3 Restated Approach7.4 Enforcement of Arbitration Agreements: Damages7.4.1 Damages in the Law and Practice of England and Wales7.4.2 Restated Approach7.5 Post-award Intersections: Jurisdictional Review and Control7.5.1 Grounds and Standard of Review7.5.2 Conflict of Judgments8 Arbitral Jurisdiction: Issues Before Arbitral Tribunals8.1 Competence to Decide Jurisdictional Issues Redux8.2 Stay of Arbitration Proceedings8.3 Enforcing the Arbitration Agreement: Arbitral Enforcement Orders8.3.1 Jurisdiction to Grant Arbitral Enforcement Orders8.3.2 Enforcement8.3.3 Restated Approach8.4 Monetary Sanctions and Damages as Tools Bolstering Arbitral Enforcement Orders8.4.1 Monetary Sanctions8.4.2 Enforcing the Arbitration Agreement with a Damages Award8.5 Contractual Undertakings9 Conclusions: Arbitral Jurisdiction Architecture

Taylor & Francis Ltd Wrongful Imprisonment
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1973, Wrongful Imprisonment aims to combine the human interest of individual cases of wrongful imprisonment with a general analysis of how and why they occur. It deals in detail with the English system, but also provides comparisons with Scotland, France, and the United States. The authors spent three years collecting material from newspaper reports, trial transcripts, books, lawyers, the Home Office and most important interviews with the persons concerned. As a result, they have been able to analyse objectively the existing system of justice; they have isolated and identified the areas in which the system is at fault, and the successive hazards which may confront the innocent man suspected of a criminal offence; they have also revealed the many obstacles which have to be overcome by the wrongfully imprisoned man seeking to establish his innocence and regain his liberty.

Errors that might hinder the examination process for granting patents, or that might make patents undefendable in a context of litigation.The 42 sections of this book each identify different provisions of the law for their relevance to translation. These provisions govern language uses, right down to the use of punctuation. Each of the sections present findings, both in terms of the relevant provisions identified, and their specific significance to translation.

Book SynopsisWhen refugees flee war and persecution, protection and assistance are usually provided by United Nations organisations and their NGO implementing partners. In camps and cities, the dominant humanitarian model remains premised upon a provider-beneficiary relationship. In parallel to this model, however, is a largely neglected story: refugees themselves frequently mobilise to create organisations or networks as alternative providers of social protection. Based on fieldwork in refugee camps and cities in Uganda and Kenya, this book examines how refugee-led organisations emerge, the forms they take, and their interactions with international institutions. Developing an original theoretical framework based on the concept of ''the global governed'', the book shows how power and hierarchy mediate the seemingly benign notion of protection. Drawing upon ideas from anthropology and international relations, it offers an alternative vision for more participatory global governance, of relevance to oTrade Review'The Global Governed? is a detailed examination of the (underappreciated) role of refugee-led organisations at the local level. Theoretically grounded and empirically rich, the book portrays a wide range of social protection activities undertaken by refugees for refugees. Adopting a bottom-up approach, it shows both the possibility of, and barriers to, participation of refugees in global governance.' T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Professor at the New School, New York, Director of the Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility'The Global Governed? draws on the best tradition of Oxford University's Refugee Studies Centre and its founder, Barbara Harrell-Bond, by starting from the premise that refugees, no matter how destitute and vulnerable, are always actively trying to help themselves. They do not sit back and wait for assistance or for someone else to protect them, but work together to get what they need. By focusing on refugee community organisations, the authors shine a light into the relationships of power that often work against such self-help. They recognise the complexity of different forms of refugee community organising. This book provides a welcome contribution to understanding the political economy of refugee contexts, but is also relevant to policymakers and aid providers seeking to support refugee populations and to localise approaches to humanitarian and development assistance.' Laura Hammond, Professor in the Department of Development Studies, SOAS University of London'Pincock, Betts, and Easton-Calabria (all, Univ. of Oxford, UK) have combined their expertise and fieldwork to produce this excellent comparison of four major refugee sites in East Africa-Kampala and Nakivale in Uganda, and Nairobi and Kakuma in Kenya … Because of the tight four-site comparison, this would be an excellent text for discussion in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses on refugees, or on humanitarian action in general.'
