Cambridge University Press Clean Power Politics The Democratization of
Book SynopsisThe United States has been experiencing an energy transition for over four decades, and now - thanks to the Clean Power Plan of the Obama Administration and the Paris climate agreement - a clean energy future is moving closer to reality. In Clean Power Politics, Joseph Tomain describes how clean energy policies have been developed and, more importantly, what's necessary for a successful transition to a clean energy future, including technological innovation, new business models, and regulatory reforms. The energy system of the future will minimize the environmental costs of traditional energy production and consumption, and emphasize expanded use of natural resources and energy efficiency. Because many new energy technologies can be produced and consumed at smaller scales, they will shift decision-making power away from traditional utilities and empower consumers to make energy choices about consumption and price. In this way, a clean energy future embodies a democratization of energy.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. Preconditions for a Clean Power Transition: 1. The clean power plan and clean power politics; 2. Defining and measuring clean power; 3. The political economy of clean power; Part II. The Necessity of Innovation: 4. Innovation policy and institutions; 5. Clean power systems; 6. Regulatory innovation; Part III. The Democratization of Energy: 7. Energy and democracy.

Cambridge University Press The Impact of Climate Change Mitigation on
Book SynopsisThe international legal framework for valuing the carbon stored in forests, known as ''Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation'' (REDD+), will have a major impact on indigenous peoples and forest communities. The REDD+ regime contains many assumptions about the identity, tenure and rights of indigenous and local communities who inhabit, use or claim rights to forested lands. The authors bring together expert analysis of public international law, climate change treaties, property law, human rights and indigenous customary land tenure to provide a systemic account of the laws governing forest carbon sequestration and their interaction. Their work covers recent developments in climate change law, including the Agreement from the Conference of the Parties in Paris that came into force in 2016. The Impact of Climate Change Mitigation on Indigenous and Forest Communities is a rich and much-needed contribution to contemporary understanding of this topic.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. REDD+ as international legal regime; 3. REDD+'s broader international legal context; 4. REDD+, identity law and 'free, prior and informed consent'; 5. REDD+, tenure and indigenous property claims; 6.

Cambridge University Press The Guardian of the Constitution Hans Kelsen and Carl Schmitt on the Limits of Constitutional Law 12 Cambridge Studies in Constitutional Law Series Number 12
Book SynopsisAs the terminal crisis of the Weimar Republic intensified, Hans Kelsen and Carl Schmitt debated whether the Weimar Constitution should be protected by a constitutional court or by presidential dictatorship. This volume provides the first translation of Kelsen's and Schmitt's famous and influential exchange on the 'Guardian of the Constitution'.Trade Review'The debate between Kelsen and Schmitt is far richer and more timely than the foregoing brief overview can suggest. Vinx has provided a great service in executing a fluent and accessible translation, in writing an illuminating and erudite introduction, and in making the constitutional writings of Kelsen and Schmitt available to a wider audience than was previously the case. And Vinx has provided an additional service in reminding us that many of the important figures in the history of legal theory were also on the front lines of salient legal disputes offering arguments that put their theoretical positions in very concrete contexts.'

Cambridge University Press The Forgotten Emancipator
Book SynopsisCongressman James Mitchell Ashley, a member of the House of Representatives from 1858 to 1868, was the main sponsor of the Thirteenth Amendment to the American Constitution, which declared the institution of slavery unconstitutional. Rebecca E. Zietlow uses Ashley''s life as a unique lens through which to explore the ideological origins of Reconstruction and the constitutional changes of this era. Zietlow recounts how Ashley and his antislavery allies shared an egalitarian free labor ideology that was influenced by the political antislavery movement and the nascent labor movement - a vision that conflicted directly with the institution of slavery. Ashley''s story sheds important light on the meaning and power of popular constitutionalism: how the constitution is interpreted outside of the courts and the power that citizens and their elected officials can have in enacting legal change. The book shows how Reconstruction not only expanded racial equality but also transformed the rights ofTrade Review'Rebecca E. Zietlow is right - James Mitchell Ashley has been all but forgotten and deserves to be remembered. Thanks to Zietlow, we can now appreciate Ashley's pivotal role in the pre-Civil War struggle against slavery, abolition during the war, and the battle for black rights during Reconstruction. But she also emphasizes his commitment to the rights of all labourers, and we would benefit today from recalling his vision of a 'free labour' society of equals.' Eric Foner, Columbia University, New York'James Mitchell Ashley spent decades of the nineteenth century crusading against slavery, discrimination, and labor injustice - positions in absolute harmony with one another, as the author Rebecca E. Zietlow deftly shows. This readable biography reveals Ashley in his heroism, defeat, and contradictions. More than that, it illuminates the challenges that any old-line egalitarian faced in a modern, industrializing world. In Zietlow's able hands, Ashley's life becomes as significant for our present era as it was for his own.' Michael Vorenberg, Brown University, Rhode Island'An impressively informative and original work of seminal scholarship from beginning to end, The Forgotten Emancipator is unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library 19th century American history collections and supplemental studies reading lists.'

Cambridge University Press Patent Intensity and Economic Growth
Book SynopsisEconomic growth has traditionally been attributed to the increase in national production arising from technological innovation. Using a panel of seventy-nine countries bridging the North-South divide, Patent Intensity and Economic Growth is an important empirical study on the uncertain relationship between patents and economic growth. It considers the impact of one-size-fits-all patent policies on developing countries and their innovation-based economic growth, including those policies originating from the World Intellectual Property Organization, the World Trade Organization and the World Health Organization, as well as initiatives derived from the TRIPS Agreement and the Washington Consensus. This book argues against patent harmonization across countries and provides an analytical framework for country group coalitioning on policy at UN level. It will appeal to scholars and students of patent law, national and international policy makers, venture capitalist investors, and research anTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Setting the framework: patenting and economic growth policy; 2. Convergence clubs, coalitions and innovation gaps; 3. Institutions, gerd intensity and patent clusters; 4.

Cambridge University Press Emergencies in Public Law The Legal Politics of
Book SynopsisThis book draws on empirical analysis to question traditional assumptions about emergencies as 'exceptions' and to develop an alternative conceptual framework for the study of emergency powers' long-term effects. Its original analysis will be of interest to academics and students of international law, domestic public law, and political science.Trade Review'Karin Loevy manages in this book to provide what I had thought impossible given the extensive literature on the topic of states of emergency - a wholly novel and most productive perspective. She argues that one needs to take a long view of how to understand emergencies, that is, not as events of short duration but rather as unfolding over lengthy periods, which in turn enables her to understand emergencies in terms of dynamic trends and processes rather than as discrete events. She thus sheds important new light on the relationship between the norm and the exception.' David Dyzenhaus, University of Toronto, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada'In this bold and powerfully argued book, Loevy shows how certain theoretical frameworks for understanding emergencies have led us astray. Digging beneath the prevailing imagery of sovereign deciders and sudden ruptures in the fabric of everyday governance, Emergencies in Public Law reveals a more complex and dynamic politics of competing institutions, layered temporalities, and political mobilizations. By combining conceptual work with well-selected and carefully researched case studies of emergencies, this book is a model of empirically engaged legal and political theory.' Leonard Feldman, Hunter College, City University of New York'In Emergencies [in] Public Law, Loevy gives us an erudite and magisterial account of emergency powers, leading us through time and place from ancient Rome to Alexandria, DC to Guantánamo Bay, and from Belmarsh prison to the Israeli Supreme Court to disaster relief efforts in the Irrawaddy Delta in Myanmar. Along the way, Loevy offers us a fresh perspective on emergency powers that challenges the standard theoretical accounts, reframing emergencies and our legal responses to them as complex and dynamic processes requiring flexibility, reflexivity, and adaptability. Her provocative book will send us back to the drawing board with a new set of tools for containing emergencies.' Victor V. Ramraj, University of Victoria, CanadaTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. Theories of Containment: 1. An introduction to the background theoretical problem: the paradox and its paradigmatic solutions; 2. The legacy of the models in the legal politics of emergencies; Part II. Practices of Containment: 3. The legal politics of definitions: Article 15 derogations in the House of Lords; 4.

Cambridge University Press International Criminal Tribunals
Book SynopsisThis book considers the myriad of critics of international criminal law concerning normative concepts of legitimacy, sovereignty, responsibility, punishment, economics, politics, evidence, and fairness. This is the first book to provide a thorough defense of international criminal tribunals, especially the International Criminal Court, from critics of diverse perspectives and disciplines.Trade Review'Since the field's rebirth two decades ago in The Hague, the legal analysis of international criminal justice has exploded. But with this powerful and probing intervention, May and Fyfe demonstrate that it is philosophical concepts that best legitimate and critique the current practice of international tribunals. With this compelling and urgent book, a true philosophy of international criminal law has now arrived.' Jens David Ohlin, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law, Cornell Law School'The authors' analysis of the various critiques yields both normative arguments about the value of international criminal tribunals and suggestions about how the institutions can be improved. In advancing their normative claims and supporting their prescriptive suggestions, the authors draw on a deep well of philosophical and theoretical concepts, including legitimacy, fairness, effectiveness, and efficiency. The result is a book that not only canvases and addresses the broad array of critiques leveled at international criminal tribunals but adds significantly to the rather scant literature on the philosophical justifications for international criminal justice.'

Book SynopsisJustin Desautels-Stein focuses on the development of pragmatic liberalism, between 1870 and the present. Using property law, constitutional law, and antitrust law as case studies, he places the intellectual history of liberalism into a contemporary legal context.Trade Review'In this wide-ranging and masterful work, Justin Desautels-Stein explores, dissects, and critiques what it means to think like a lawyer in today's hegemonic context of liberal legal thought. Drawing on art history and musicology, ranging from the anthropologist Philippe Descola to the philosopher Hubert Dreyfus, from Roland Barthes to Michel Foucault, Desautels-Stein creatively reinvigorates the Harvard School of legal structuralism to expose the deep historical, structural, and conceptual illusions of contemporary pragmatic legal liberal thought.'

Cambridge University Press Empire Emergency and International Law
Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to say we live in a permanent state of emergency? What are the juridical, political and social underpinnings of that framing? Has international law played a role in producing or challenging the paradigm of normalised emergency? How should we understand the relationship between imperialism, race and emergency legal regimes? In addressing such questions, this book situates emergency doctrine in historical context. It illustrates some of the particular colonial lineages that have shaped the state of emergency, and emphasises that contemporary formations of emergency governance are often better understood not as new or exceptional, but as part of an ongoing historical constellation of racialised emergency politics. The book highlights the connections between emergency law and violence, and encourages alternative approaches to security discourse. It will appeal to scholars and students of international law, colonial history, postcolonialism and human rights, as well as policymakers and social justice advocates.Trade Review'John Reynolds explores the development and operation of emergency rule in colonial territories, and the enduring influence of this model on emergency law and, indeed, international law. There is a great deal he illuminates in this book, which combines erudition with superbly clear writing. The book examines 'imperial emergency rule' - it could in fact be termed a global history of imperial emergency rule - and connects together accounts of emergency that are often treated separately: colonial emergencies, the impact of these emergencies on the drafting of international legal instruments, and contemporary settler colonialism. It is by drawing on this range of diverse yet related materials that Dr Reynolds provides such a far-reaching account of the complexities of how emergency law operates, and such an incisive understanding of how it produces resistance from below. Empire, Emergency and International Law is an eloquent and valuable book which provides enduring insights into a pervasive feature of our times.' Antony Anghie, author of Imperialism, Sovereignty and the Making of International Law'This luminary work on states of emergency and settler colonialism has given us a fresh set of eyes with which to understand the structural aspects of law, and its intersections with vexing questions of power and governance, human rights and emancipation.' Noura Erakat, George Mason University, Virginia'This is a profoundly important book that should reshape the way we explore and use international law and the concept of states of emergency, among many other things.' Mark LeVine, University of California, Irvine'Highly relevant for contemporary times, this book focuses on the colonial lineages that have shaped current emergency law. This is an exceptional book which goes to the very core of law itself and its relationship with power. It is simultaneously engaging and penetrating. Presenting very serious and complex issues in a highly accessible way, it is masterful and assured in its depth of analysis.' Irish Association of Law Teachers (IALT) Council, Kevin Boyle Book Prize Judging Panel'This is a book which tackles complex questions with serious depth, while remaining accessible to the reader. It is grounded not only in legal theory, history and politics but is also informed by perspectives of on-the-ground activism and awareness of social change.' Úna Ní Raifeartaigh, Judge of the High Court of Ireland'John Reynolds has written a book of immense importance in at least three distinct areas of law: legal history, international law and comparative law. The level of detail, the theoretical basis and the ability to display the link between historical eras and disparate territories demonstrate conclusively the origins of emergency law in the colonial experience, a critically important legacy that he documents in magisterial fashion. Reynolds grounds his book firmly in the camp of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), which serves his principal mission of discussing the racism, imperialism and colonialism at the heart of emergency law. It is hard to overstate the importance of Reynolds' intervention. Empire, Emergency, and International Law is the corrective to the ahistorical and wrong-headed debate we have been subject to for far too long. It is an indispensable book that should serve as a frame of reference for any study on the law of emergency.'

Cambridge University Press Trust in Early Modern International Political
Book SynopsisCan there ever be trust between states? This study explores the concept of trust across different and sometimes antagonistic genres of international political thought during the seventeenth century. The natural law and reason of state traditions worked on different assumptions, but they mutually influenced each other. How have these traditions influenced the different concepts and discussions of trust-building? Bringing together international political thought and international law, Schröder analyses to what extent trust can be seen as one of the foundational concepts in the theorising of interstate relations in this decisive period. Despite the ongoing search for conditions of trust between states, we are still faced with the same structural problems.

Cambridge University Press Chinese Small Property
Book SynopsisSmall property houses provide living space to about eight million migrant workers, office space for start-ups, grassroots police stations and public schools; their contribution to the economic growth and urbanization of a city is immense. The interaction between the small property sector and the formal legal order has a long history and small property has become an established engine of social and legal change. Chinese Small Property presents vivid stories about how institutional entrepreneurs worked together to create an impersonal market outside of the formal legal system to support millions of transactions. Qiao uses an eleven-month fieldwork project in Shenzhen - China''s first special economic zone that has grown to a mega city with over fifteen million people - to demonstrate this. A thorough and detailed investigation into small property rights in China, Chinese Small Property is an invaluable source of new information for students and scholars of the field.Trade Review'Can a vibrant real estate market arise in a nation with a stunted legal system? Hernando de Soto famously thought not. Splendidly interweaving field findings with social-scientific theory, Shitong Qiao dismantles the de Soto thesis. In many Chinese cities, booming housing markets have rested largely on informal understandings.' Robert Ellickson, Walter E. Meyer Professor of Property and Urban Law, Yale Law School'In this remarkable book, Shitong Qiao not only illustrates the intricacies of China's booming periurban land market but also demonstrates how Chinese peasants, together with newly urbanizing industrial workers, have fashioned extensive systems of informal 'small property' commercial land transactions, in spite of a legal system that purportedly forbids them. Qiao's book offers a nuanced discussion of the relationships between law and social norms in Chinese land markets, along with a significant rejoinder to the view that dynamic land markets depend on formal systems of property law.' Carol M. Rose, University of Arizona'A fascinating exploration of the lively housing market that arose in suburban Shenzhen outside the framework of formal law. Based on in-depth field research, Qiao documents the residential building boom, and he then assesses both the strengths and the ultimate limitations of extra-legal arrangements as engines of development.' Susan Rose-Ackerman, Yale University, Connecticut'In this multi-disciplinary work, Qiao has taken Robert Ellickson's pioneering work on social norms and property rights from rural California to Shenzhen, China, one of the world's fastest growing, most complex urban markets. In doing so he has demonstrated that much of what we thought we knew about law, property rights, social norms, and development was incomplete at best and flat wrong at worst.' Frank Upham, Wilf Family Professor of Property Law, New York University School of Law'All in all, this book provides very valuable insights into the evolution of China's property rights regime. It revisits several influential conventional theories and offers critical and valid scrutiny based on empirical findings in China. These insights are most likely applicable to other primitive property markets in developing countries too. The author advances the theoretical depth of existing literature and offers an analytical framework for further research worth doing by scholars of varying fields, including property law, comparative law, law and development, and law and economics.'

Cambridge University Press Experts Networks and International Law
Book SynopsisHighlighting how the challenges raised by globalization - from environmental management to financial sector meltdowns - have encouraged the emergence of experts and networks as powerful actors in international governance, the contributions in this collection assess the methods and effectiveness of these new actors. Unlike other books that have focused on networks or experts, this volume brings these players together, showing how they interact and share the challenges of establishing legitimacy and justifying their power and influence. The collection shows how experts and networks function in different ways to address diverse problems across multiple borders. The reader is provided with a broader and deeper practical understanding of how informal authority actually operates, and of the nature of the relationship between different actors involved in policymaking.

Cambridge University Press The Logic of Financial Nationalism The Challenges
Book SynopsisUsing case studies ranging from cross-border bank resolution to sovereign debt, the author analyzes the role of international law in protecting financial sovereignty, and the risks for the global financial system posed by the lack of international cooperation. Despite the post-crisis reforms, the global financial system is still mainly based on a logic of financial nationalism. International financial law plays a major role in this regard as it still focuses more on the protection of national interests rather than the promotion of global objectives. This is an inefficient approach because it encourages bad domestic governance and reduces capital mobility. In this analysis, Lupo-Pasini discusses some of the alternatives (such as the European Banking Union, Regulatory Passports, and international financial courts), and offers a new vision for the role of international law in maintaining and fostering global financial stability. In doing so, he fills a void in the law and economics literaTrade Review'The book is enjoyable and well written, demonstrating the author's expertise on the topic, and combining legal theory with the analysis of practical case studies.'

Cambridge University Press Comparative Public Budgeting
Book SynopsisEvery government engages in budgeting and public financial management to run the affairs of state. Effective budgeting empowers states to prioritize policies, allocate resources, and discipline bureaucracies, and it contributes to efficacious fiscal and macroeconomic policies.

This book compares budgetary systems around the world by examining the economic, political, cultural, and institutional contexts in which they are formulated, adopted, and executed. The second edition has been updated with new data to offer a more expansive set of national case studies, with examples of budgeting in China, India, Indonesia, Iraq, and Nigeria.

Cambridge University Press The Canonization of Islamic Law A Social and
Book SynopsisThe Canonization of Islamic Law tells the story of the birth of classical Islamic law in the eighth and ninth centuries CE. It shows how an oral normative tradition embedded in communal practice was transformed into a systematic legal science defined by hermeneutic analysis of a clearly demarcated scriptural canon. This transformation was inaugurated by the innovative legal theory of Muhammad b. IdrÄs al-ShÄfi'Ä (d. 820 CE), and it took place against the background of a crisis of identity and religious authority in ninth-century Egypt. By tracing the formulation, reception, interpretation and spread of al-ShÄfi'Ä's ideas, the author demonstrates how the canonization of scripture that lay at the heart of al-ShÄfi'Ä's theory formed the basis for the emergence of legal hermeneutics, the formation of the Sunni schools of law, and the creation of a shared methodological basis in Muslim thought.Trade Review'It is very well-written, draws on an impressive array of Arabic texts, and is the best available guide to al-Shafiʿi's legal-theoretical writings, in large part because it engages the arguments expressed in both the Risāla and the Umm. In short, it is essential reading for all students and scholars of Islamic law.' Scott. C.

Cambridge University Press Latin American Constitutions
Book SynopsisLatin American Constitutions provides a comprehensive historical study of constitutionalism in Latin America from the independence period to the present, focusing on the Constitution of Cadiz, a foundational document in Latin American constitutionalism. Although drafted in Spain, it was applied in many regions of Latin America, and deputies from America formed a significant part of the drafting body. The politicization of constitutionalism reflected in Latin America's first moments proved to be a lasting legacy evident in the legal and constitutional world of the region today: many of Latin America's present challenges to establishing effective constitutionalism can be traced to the debates, ideas, structures, and assumptions of this text. This book explores the region's attempts to create effective constitutional texts and regimes in light of an established practice of linking constitutions to political goals and places important constitutional thinkers and regional constitutions, sucTrade Review'This book will be most useful to students of Spanish and Spanish American constitutional history, and is a serious addition to the literature.'

Cambridge University Press Private Racism
Book SynopsisUsually, when we discuss racial injustice, we discuss racism in our public or political life. This means that we often focus on how the state discriminates on the basis of race in its application and enforcement of laws and policies. This book draws on the synergy of political theory and civil rights law to expand the boundary of racial justice and consider the way in which racial discrimination happens outside the governmental or public sphere. ''Private racism'' is about recognizing that racial injustice also occurs in our private lives, including the television and movie industry, cyberspace, our intimate and sexual lives, and the reproductive market. Professor Sonu Bedi argues that private racism is wrong, enlarging the boundary of justice in a way that is also consistent with our Constitution. A more just society is one that seeks to address rather than ignore this less visible form of racism.Trade Review'Anyone interested in racism and the role it has played and continues to play in the lives of people today would find this book fascinating.'
