Cambridge University Press Prosecutorial Accountability and Victims Rights
Book SynopsisThe responsibility of any state is to protect its citizens. But if a state, either through omission or commission, fails to investigate and prosecute crime then what remedies do citizens have? Verónica Michel investigates procedural rights in Chile, Guatemala, and Mexico that allow citizens to call for the appointment of a private prosecutor to initiate criminal investigations. This right diminishes the monopoly of the state over criminal prosecutions and thus offers citizens a way of insisting on state accountability. This book provides the first full-length empirical study of how the victims'' right to private prosecution can impact access to justice in Latin America, and shows how institutional and legal arrangements interact to shape the politics of criminal justice. By examining homicide cases in detail, Michel highlights how everyday legal struggles can help build the rule of law from below.Table of ContentsIntroduction: private prosecution, access to justice, and rule of law; 1. Private prosecution as an accountability tool; 2. Private prosecution as a victim's right in Latin America; 3. David and Goliath: private prosecution in Guatemala; 4. Against oblivion: private prosecution in Chile; 5. Discovering the power of rights: private prosecution in Mexico; Conclusions: prosecutorial accountability and rule of law from below.

Cambridge University Press Diversity Judgments
Book SynopsisThe US Supreme Court''s legitimacy-its diminishing integrity and contribution to the good of society-is being questioned today like no other time in recent memory. Criticisms reflect the perspectives of both ''insiders'' (straight white males) and ''outsiders'' (mainly people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community). Neither perspective digs deep enough to get at the root of the Court''s legitimacy problem, which is one of process. The Court''s process of decision-making is antiquated and out of sync with a society that looks and thinks nothing like the America of the eighteenth century, when the process was first implemented. The current process marginalizes many Americans who have a right to feel disenfranchised. Leading scholar of jurisprudence Roy L. Brooks demonstrates how the Court can modernize and democratize its deliberative process, to be more inclusive of the values and life experiences of Americans who are not straight white males.Trade Review'Dazzling and original work again by the indefatigable legal scholar Roy Brooks.

Cambridge University Press Runaway Technology
Book SynopsisIn an era of corporate surveillance, artificial intelligence, deep fakes, genetic modification, automation, and more, law often seems to take a back seat to rampant technological change. To listen to Silicon Valley barons, there''s nothing any of us can do about it. In this riveting work, Joshua A. T. Fairfield calls their bluff. He provides a fresh look at law, at what it actually is, how it works, and how we can create the kind of laws that help humans thrive in the face of technological change. He shows that law can keep up with technology because law is a kind of technology - a social technology built by humans out of cooperative fictions like firms, nations, and money. However, to secure the benefits of changing technology for all of us, we need a new kind of law, one that reflects our evolving understanding of how humans use language to cooperate.Trade Review'Can democracy keep pace with technology? Yes, says Joshua Fairfield, but only if we swiftly adapt the language of law itself.' Edward Castronova, Indiana University'Professor Fairfield has given us a critically important and engaging book. It is urgent, yet has timeless wisdom. It is erudite, but also highly accessible. It is consequential yet still laced with commendable levity. Runaway Technology is a must-read not just because of its insight into whether the law can keep up with modern technology, but because of its perspective on the law itself as a tool for human flourishing.' Woodrow Hartzog, Northeastern University'Fairfield's Runaway Technology offers a powerful argument for the centrality of law to our efforts to tackle a range of contemporary threats through organization and cooperation. Recent decades have seen a shift in power away from legal institutions and towards private actors and the technologies they control. By rejecting the reductive turn to economics and techno-determinism that drive policymaking today, Fairfield reminds us that law, when properly conceptualized as a dynamic social technology, provides a set of tools for constructing, adapting, interrogating, and justifying the narratives that guide our culture and our future.' Aaron Perzanowski, Case Western Reserve University'… stimulating, intelligent, challenging … I encourage you to read the book …' Christina Spiesel, Metascience'This book will appeal to readers who want a deeper understanding of how language, and the language of law, can be cooperatively used to effect social and legal change.'

Cambridge University Press Checking Presidential Power
Book SynopsisA central concern about the robustness of democratic rule in new democracies is the concentration of power in the executive branch and the potential this creates for abuse. This concern is felt particularly with regard to the concentration of legislative power. Checking Presidential Power explains the levels of reliance on executive decrees in a comparative perspective. Building on the idea of institutional commitment, which affects the enforcement of decision-making rules, Palanza describes the degree to which countries rely on executive decree authority as more reliance may lead to unbalanced presidential systems and will ultimately affect democratic quality. Breaking new ground by both theorizing and empirically analyzing decree authority from a comparative perspective, this book examines policy making in separation of powers systems. It explains the choice between decrees and statutes, and why legislators are sometimes profoundly engaged in the legislative process and yet other timTrade Review'Palanza brings formidable tools to bear in this book - sophisticated theory, extensive data, deep knowledge of her cases, and clear writing. She tests her ideas with extensive studies of policy making in Brazil and Argentina, as well as with rigorous analysis drawing data from across Latin America. She shows us what factors push presidents toward unilateral policymaking and what institutional conditions foster legislative influence. This book is a real achievement.' John M. Carey, John Wentworth Professor in the Social Sciences, Dartmouth College'Palanza's Checking Presidential Power is a long overdue corrective to the often uncritical assumption that presidents are all-powerful and that legislatures (and courts) are mere bystanders in Latin America's separation-of-powers systems. By refusing to consider presidents and their decrees in isolation, Palanza's book gives us a much more holistic account, both theoretically and empirically, of how policy gets made in separation-of-powers systems.' Brian F. Crisp, Washington University, St Louis'This is a great book. It is the first to provide a comprehensive and positive theory of the choice between policy-making by decree versus statute. Unlike previous work, it places the decision about the relative incidence of executive decrees in a broad strategic context, which includes not only the president but also legislators, the courts and interest groups. Palanza offers detailed empirical analysis of decree usage in several countries, as well as, to my knowledge, the first cross-national analysis of law-making by decree in presidential systems. This book will be required for anyone interested in executive politics, institutional analysis, presidentialism, democratization, Latin American and many other areas.' José Antonio Cheibub, Mary Thomas Marshall Professor in Liberal Arts, Texas A & M University'In her groundbreaking book, Palanza (Pontificia Universidad de Chile) examines policy making in separation of powers systems by explaining the levels of reliance on executive decrees that may lead to unbalanced presidential systems and ultimately low democratic quality. The author accurately defends the long-held belief that policy enacted by decree is less stable than policy enacted by the widely supported congressional statutes.' K. M. Zaarour, ChoiceTable of Contents1. Introduction: a choice of paths behind each policy; 2. Decrees versus statutes: choice of legislative paths in separation of powers systems; 3. Institutions and institutional commitment; 4. Reinstatement of congressional decision rights: Brazil; 5. A corollary of low levels of institutional commitment: Argentina; 6.

Cambridge University Press Moral Contagion
Book SynopsisBetween 1822 and 1857, eight Southern states barred the ingress of all free black maritime workers. According to lawmakers, they carried a ''moral contagion'' of abolitionism and black autonomy that could be transmitted to local slaves. Those seamen who arrived in Southern ports in violation of the laws faced incarceration, corporal punishment, an incipient form of convict leasing, and even punitive enslavement. The sailors, their captains, abolitionists, and British diplomatic agents protested this treatment. They wrote letters, published tracts, cajoled elected officials, pleaded with Southern officials, and litigated in state and federal courts. By deploying a progressive and sweeping notion of national citizenship - one that guaranteed a number of rights against state regulation - they exposed the ambiguity and potential power of national citizenship as a legal category. Ultimately, the Fourteenth Amendment recognized the robust understanding of citizenship championed by AntebellumTrade Review'Schoeppner's pathbreaking book reconceptualizes the national story of citizenship to include a broader cast of characters and an earlier timeline, demonstrating the significance of the Negro Seamen Acts to American legal history. This elegantly-written work reminds us of the centrality of movement for African Americans as they struggled over the meaning of citizenship rights.' Kelly Kennington, Auburn University and author of In the Shadow of Dred Scott: St. Louis Freedom Suits and the Legal Culture of Slavery in Antebellum America'Mariners stood at the forefront of struggles over US citizenship from the Revolution to the Civil War. In Moral Contagion … Schoeppner reveals how state laws regulating the mobility of black sailors became a focal point for debates in the antebellum period over the substantive rights conferred by national citizenship. Speaking to questions about federal power and racial equality in the Atlantic world, his book will become essential reading for students and scholars interested in the contested history of American citizenship.' Nathan Perl-Rosenthal, University of Southern California and author of Citizen Sailors: Becoming American in the Age of Revolution'… Schoeppner explores in vivid and fascinating detail the international and domestic controversies surrounding the Negro Seamen Acts. In so doing, he underscores the critical role played by African Americans in the antebellum era struggle for citizenship.' Kunal M. Parker, University of Miami and author of Making Foreigners: Immigration and Citizenship Law in America, 1600–2000'Recommended.' E. R. Crowther, Choice'… the book is a rigorous study of law, citizenship, and diplomacy and makes a welcome addition to the literature of southern history, Atlantic history, and antebellum political and legal history.'

Cambridge University Press American Foreign Policy Ideology and the
Book SynopsisAmerican engagement with international law has long been framed by commitment to the ''international rule of law'', which persists even across divergent political and historical eras. Yet, despite appeals to legal ideals, American international law policy is consistently criticised as fraught with contradiction and distorted by beliefs in ''exceptionalism''. These contested claims of fidelity to law are the subject of this book: what does the ''international rule of law'' mean for American legal policymakers even as they advocate competing commitments to international legal order? Answers are found in extensive evidence that American policymakers receive international law through established foreign policy ideologies, which correspond with divisions in both legal scholarship and diplomatic history. Using the case of the International Criminal Court, the book demonstrates that the very meaning of the international rule of law is structured by competing ideological beliefs; between AmeriTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I.

Cambridge University Press The UN Security Council and International Law
Book SynopsisThe UN Security Council and International Law explores the legal powers, limits and potential of the United Nations Security Council, offering a broadly positive (and positivist) account of the Council''s work in practice. This book aims to answer questions such as ''when are Council decisions binding and on whom?'', ''what legal constraints exist on Council decision making?'' and ''how far is the Council bound by international law?''. Defining the controlling legal rules and differentiating between what the Council can do, as opposed to what it should do as a matter of policy, this book offers both a tool for assessment of the Council as well as realistic solutions to address its deficiencies, and, most importantly, evaluates its potential for maintaining international peace and security, to the benefit of us all.Trade Review'Whether you have an academic interest in the UN Security Council, happen to be a journalist seeking reliable background information about it, or simply want to know how the Council works and why it so frequently stays short of our expectations - from now on there is no better way of finding out than reaching for this sharp, crystal-clear book written by prominent insiders.'

Cambridge University Press Migration and Integration
Book SynopsisMigration and Integration clarifies and proposes answers for all of the politically toxic questions associated with large-scale migration from the Global South to the Western liberal democracies. Driven by the conviction that the Alt-Right is using the issues of migration and integration effectively to batter the defenses of liberal democracy, Professor Tom Farer argues that despite its strength, the moral case for open borders should be rejected and that while broadly tolerant of different life styles, the state should enforce core liberal values. Examining closely the policies and practices of various European states, Farer draws on their experience, contrasts it with that of the United States, and provides a detailed strategy for addressing the issues of who should be allowed to enter, how migrant families should be integrated and cultural conflicts resolved. This remarkable elaboration of a liberal position on migration and integration to which moderate conservatives could adhere cTrade Review'This short cri de coeur, by a brave liberal lion unafraid to tackle liberal pieties, casts a long shadow across the right/left spectrum. Farer argues that rich states have a legal and moral right to bar migrants from the Global South and that tolerant national communities are worth defending - even if it takes biometric identity cards, off-shore sites for asylum claims, and litmus tests for determining entry. Not everyone will embrace his prescriptions but all will benefit from his thoughtful defense of liberal nationalism. His book sets the standard for thoughtful and eloquent commentary on the age's most inflammatory subject.' José E. Alvarez, Herbert and Rose Rubin Professor of International Law, New York University'Farer is one of the sharpest legal minds of our era, with an unsurpassed ability to combine fierce liberalism with the unique ability to bring imagination into fundamental issues of our time. He broadens and deepens our field of vision, challenging us constantly to think creatively. This book is an excellent example of his inquisitive mind.' Claudio Grossman, Member of the UN International Law Commission, Dean Emeritus at American University'An indispensable response to the migration challenge that is at once humane and intelligently sensitive to the delicate issues at stake. I consider Tom Farer's brilliantly reasoned and lucidly written argument for a liberal nationalist-solution-oriented approach to migration as required reading for anyone concerned with preserving robust democracies in Europe and North America.' Richard Falk, Princeton University, New Jersey and author of Power Shift: On the New Global Order'The moderate center in American and European politics is bleeding votes to the right and the left because it has failed to come up with realistic policies on migration. Tom Farer, a distinguished human rights defender and international lawyer, addresses this challenge head-on with a witty, erudite, and passionate defense of a 'liberalism with borders' – a migration policy that reconciles human rights and national sovereignty in a tough-minded yet compassionate synthesis which deserves to redefine the debate on this key issue in modern politics.' Michael Ignatieff, President and Rector, Central European University, Budapest'Tom Farer's deeply researched, elegantly written, and humane book Migration and Integration confronts the question of how well-to-do, well-functioning countries in the North, particularly in Europe, should cope with the migration crisis. What should they do about the large numbers of people of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds who are leaving or fleeing turbulent, dangerous, and impoverished countries of the Global South to settle among them? Should the countries of the North accommodate the 'looming wave' of migrants? Can Europe's predominantly secular societies absorb and integrate millions of Muslim migrants while maintaining the best attributes of their own societies, including those that have become liberal cultural norms? Professor Farer is unblinking in describing the difficulties. He does not evade any hard questions. Asserting that 'My highest priority is the survival of liberal democracy, an outcome by no means assured', his thoughtful answers are based on that priority. Tom Farer's important book is essential reading for those who share that priority.' Aryeh Neier, Open Society Foundations and Founding Director of Human Rights Watch'Tom Farer has produced … the best possible statement of the liberal nationalist approach to migration and integration. It is, as it claims, 'liberalism without tears, conservatism without hate'. Farer argues that liberal democrats can meet the challenge of twenty-first-century mass migration, but only if they can rediscover the courage of their convictions while shedding policy dogmatism. The stakes could not be higher.' Tom Pegram, University College London'A timelier and better case for a liberal nationalism than Tom Farer's account cannot be imagined.' Monica Serrano, El Colegio de Mexico'Farer (Univ. of Denver) offers a conventional analysis of migration and integration through the lens of the liberal political tradition.' A. H.

Cambridge University Press Day Fines in Europe
Book SynopsisDay fines, as a pecuniary sanction, have a great potential to reduce inequality in the criminal sentencing system, as they impose the same relative punishment on all offenders irrespective of their income. Furthermore, with correct implementation, they can constitute an alternative sanction to the more repressive and not always efficient short-term prison sentences. Finally, by independently expressing in the sentence the severity and the income of the offender, day fines can increase uniformity and transparency of sentencing. Having this in mind, almost half of the European Union countries have adopted day fines in their criminal justice system. For the first time, this book makes their findings accessible to a wider international audience. Aimed at scholars, policy makers and criminal law practitioners, it provides an opportunity to learn about the theoretical advantages, the practical challenges, the successes and failures, and ways to improve.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive commentary on the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Arbitration. Combining both theory and practice, it is written by leading academics and practitioners from Europe, Asia and the Americas to ensure the book has a balanced international coverage. The book not only provides an article-by-article critical analysis, but also incorporates information on the reality of legal practice in UNCITRAL jurisdictions, ensuring it is more than a recitation of case law and variations in legal text. This is not a handbook for practitioners needing a supportive citation, but rather a guide for practitioners, legislators and academics to the reasons the Model Law was structured as it was, and the reasons variations have been adopted.Trade Review'A truly international treatise where theory meets actual practice. Not only does this book provide a useful and interesting background to the UNCITRAL Model Law, but more critically an instructive and in-depth analysis of each article, describing its purpose and application across numerous jurisdictions. Clearly a useful and practical addition to the existing body of law.' Alexis Mourre, President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration'We now have the pleasure of a commentary that does justice to the significant achievements of the UNCITRAL Model Law.

An enlightening and accessible treatise that is fundamental to a proper understanding of this increasingly widespread legal text.' Emmanuel Gaillard, Professor of Law, Head of Shearman and Sterling's International Arbitration practice and Global Head of its Disputes Unit'The Model Law is one of the main pillars upon which modern international arbitration has been built and prospered; it has gone a long way to achieve the aim of harmonisation, which makes doing business in different jurisdictions more certain. This Commentary by experienced practitioners and academics is timely, as the Model Law has been adopted in many jurisdictions. The book is essential for international business as well as teaching.' Neil Kaplan, Arbitrator, Arbitration Chambers, Hong Kong'A starting point for anyone investigating the UNCITRAL Model Law, or any of the 111 jurisdictions it has been adopted in. The book provides a clear, easily accessible and insightful comparative legal analysis of the world's primary instrument of arbitration law. An absolute essential, both for practitioners and academics.' Bas van Zelst, Co-Head of Van Doorne's Arbitration Group, and Professor of Dispute Resolution and Arbitration, Maastricht University'This work is an excellent value-add to the field: it consolidates in one tome a clear analysis of each section of the UNCITRAL Model Law in the light of the pertinent travaux préparatoires and key case law and arbitral decisions, supplemented with insightful commentary.

Cambridge University Press Recentering the World
Book SynopsisThis book provides valuable new information to those interested in Chinese history, international legal history, and international relations. Its new explorations of archives and other primary sources are helpful for researchers in these fields. It also appeals to general readers eager to learn more about China's role in world affairs.Trade Review'China's engagement with Western international law, Ryan Martínez Mitchell shows in this field-defining study, is neither recent nor rejectionist. Instead, starting in the 19th century, Chinese actors interacted with once foreign concepts and terms in light of local imaginaries, and Chinese engagement reshaped international law in turn. The results are a tour de force of research and reconceptualization of how the legal order of the contemporary world came about, and where alternative global internationalisms might one day lead.' Samuel Moyn, Chancellor Kent Professor of Law and History, Yale University'Recentering the World is a wonderful book that should re-center how we think about not only China but international law itself. Running from the late Qing through WTO accession, Ryan Mitchell's singular blend of deep historical research in Chinese, Japanese and western archival materials, deft legal analysis, and love of ideas is an exemplar of superb cross-disciplinary scholarship.' William P. Alford, Jerome A. and Joan L. Cohen Professor of East Asian Legal Studies, Harvard Law School'An excellent conceptual history of how China engaged with Western-made international law in the late 19th and 20th centuries.

Cambridge University Press The Legal Authority of ASEAN as a Security
Book SynopsisThe Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has achieved deeper regional market integration to lay a socio-economic foundation for the development of a regional community, yet inter-state trust is by no means assured as Southeast Asian nations remain steadfast in maintaining their political regime stability against external interference. However, through its institutional practices, ASEAN has emerged as a distinct model of security institution, while the region''s contemporary security landscape has diversified with various non-traditional security issues. By looking beyond the veneer of diplomacy and prevailing political circumstances, this book examines the legal nature and form of ASEAN''s authority to address diverse regional security issues. It provides a fresh perspective on ASEAN''s role as a security institution. With an interdisciplinary analysis, this book reveals the normative role that ASEAN plays in facilitating the processes of norm development, localisation and inTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Cambridge University Press Migration and Integration
Book SynopsisMigration and Integration clarifies and proposes answers for all of the politically toxic questions associated with large-scale migration from the Global South to the Western liberal democracies. Driven by the conviction that the Alt-Right is using the issues of migration and integration effectively to batter the defenses of liberal democracy, Professor Tom Farer argues that despite its strength, the moral case for open borders should be rejected and that while broadly tolerant of different life styles, the state should enforce core liberal values. Examining closely the policies and practices of various European states, Farer draws on their experience, contrasts it with that of the United States, and provides a detailed strategy for addressing the issues of who should be allowed to enter, how migrant families should be integrated and cultural conflicts resolved. This remarkable elaboration of a liberal position on migration and integration to which moderate conservatives could adhere cTrade Review'This short cri de coeur, by a brave liberal lion unafraid to tackle liberal pieties, casts a long shadow across the right/left spectrum. Farer argues that rich states have a legal and moral right to bar migrants from the Global South and that tolerant national communities are worth defending - even if it takes biometric identity cards, off-shore sites for asylum claims, and litmus tests for determining entry. Not everyone will embrace his prescriptions but all will benefit from his thoughtful defense of liberal nationalism. His book sets the standard for thoughtful and eloquent commentary on the age's most inflammatory subject.' José E. Alvarez, Herbert and Rose Rubin Professor of International Law, New York University'Farer is one of the sharpest legal minds of our era, with an unsurpassed ability to combine fierce liberalism with the unique ability to bring imagination into fundamental issues of our time. He broadens and deepens our field of vision, challenging us constantly to think creatively. This book is an excellent example of his inquisitive mind.' Claudio Grossman, Member of the UN International Law Commission, Dean Emeritus at American University'An indispensable response to the migration challenge that is at once humane and intelligently sensitive to the delicate issues at stake. I consider Tom Farer's brilliantly reasoned and lucidly written argument for a liberal nationalist-solution-oriented approach to migration as required reading for anyone concerned with preserving robust democracies in Europe and North America.' Richard Falk, Princeton University, New Jersey and author of Power Shift: On the New Global Order'The moderate center in American and European politics is bleeding votes to the right and the left because it has failed to come up with realistic policies on migration. Tom Farer, a distinguished human rights defender and international lawyer, addresses this challenge head-on with a witty, erudite, and passionate defense of a 'liberalism with borders' – a migration policy that reconciles human rights and national sovereignty in a tough-minded yet compassionate synthesis which deserves to redefine the debate on this key issue in modern politics.' Michael Ignatieff, President and Rector, Central European University, Budapest'Tom Farer's deeply researched, elegantly written, and humane book Migration and Integration confronts the question of how well-to-do, well-functioning countries in the North, particularly in Europe, should cope with the migration crisis. What should they do about the large numbers of people of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds who are leaving or fleeing turbulent, dangerous, and impoverished countries of the Global South to settle among them? Should the countries of the North accommodate the 'looming wave' of migrants? Can Europe's predominantly secular societies absorb and integrate millions of Muslim migrants while maintaining the best attributes of their own societies, including those that have become liberal cultural norms? Professor Farer is unblinking in describing the difficulties. He does not evade any hard questions. Asserting that 'My highest priority is the survival of liberal democracy, an outcome by no means assured', his thoughtful answers are based on that priority. Tom Farer's important book is essential reading for those who share that priority.' Aryeh Neier, Open Society Foundations and Founding Director of Human Rights Watch'Tom Farer has produced … the best possible statement of the liberal nationalist approach to migration and integration. It is, as it claims, 'liberalism without tears, conservatism without hate'. Farer argues that liberal democrats can meet the challenge of twenty-first-century mass migration, but only if they can rediscover the courage of their convictions while shedding policy dogmatism. The stakes could not be higher.' Tom Pegram, University College London'A timelier and better case for a liberal nationalism than Tom Farer's account cannot be imagined.' Monica Serrano, El Colegio de Mexico'Farer (Univ. of Denver) offers a conventional analysis of migration and integration through the lens of the liberal political tradition.' A. H.

Cambridge University Press The Privacy Fix
Book SynopsisOnline surveillance of our behavior by private companies is on the increase, particularly through the Internet of Things and the increasing use of algorithmic decision-making. This troubling trend undermines privacy and increasingly threatens our ability to control how information about us is shared and used. Written by a computer scientist and a legal scholar, The Privacy Fix proposes a set of evidence-based, practical solutions that will help solve this problem. Requiring no technical or legal expertise, the book explains complicated concepts in clear, straightforward language. Bridging the gap between computer scientists, economists, lawyers, and public policy makers, this book provides theoretically and practically sound public policy guidance about how to preserve privacy in the onslaught of surveillance. It emphasizes the need to make tradeoffs among the complex concerns that arise, and it outlines a practical norm-creation process to do so.Trade Review'Highly recommended.' G. E.

Book SynopsisThe recent pandemic has clarified the overwhelming connection between the workplace and technology. With thousands of employees suddenly forced to work at home, a large segment of the workforce quickly received crash courses in videoconferencing and other technologies, and society as a whole took a step back to redefine what employment actually means. The virtual workplace is the blending of brick-and-mortar physical places of business with the advanced technologies that now make it possible for workers to perform their duties outside of the office. Trying to regulate in this area requires the application of decades old employment laws to a context never even contemplated by the legislatures that wrote those rules. This book explores the emerging issues of virtual workdefining employment, litigating claims, aggregating cases, unionizing workers, and preventing harassmentand provides clarity to these areas, synthesizing the current case law, statutory rules, and academic literature to pTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Planetary Health
Book SynopsisWe live in unprecedented times - the Anthropocene - defined by far-reaching human impacts on the natural systems that underpin civilisation. Planetary Health explores the many environmental changes that threaten to undermine progress in human health, and explains how these changes affect health outcomes, from pandemics to infectious diseases to mental health, from chronic diseases to injuries. It shows how people can adapt to those changes that are now unavoidable, through actions that both improve health and safeguard the environment. But humanity must do more than just adapt: we need transformative changes across many sectors - energy, housing, transport, food, and health care. The book discusses specific policies, technologies, and interventions to achieve the change required, and explains how these can be implemented. It presents the evidence, builds hope in our common future, and aims to motivate action by everyone, from the general public to policymakers to health practitioners.Trade Review'This book illustrates the dramatic change in humanity's awareness about the realities of our world and our destiny. Planetary Health describes the transformation that will move us to a healthier, safer and more sustainable future, with hope, optimism and confidence.' Gro Harlem Brundtland, former Prime Minister of Norway and former Director-General of the World Health Organization'Andy Haines and Howie Frumkin's book provides an accessible and fast-paced account of the challenges we face in improving human health in parallel with our environment in the next decades. A must read for anyone involved in global health, and a must read for anyone interested in the future of our children and grandchildren.' Joy Phumaphi, Former Vice President of the World Bank and Director of the African Leaders Malaria Alliance'The climate crisis and other environmental challenges pose growing threats to the continued health of humanity. Andy Haines and Howie Frumkin's book cogently and accessibly summarizes these growing threats to human health, and outlines the transformative changes we need to enact to improve health around the world and at the same time safeguard the environment for our children and grandchildren. This book is essential reading for every decision-maker in government and NGOs formulating health or environmental policy. The book is also a wonderful overview of planetary health issues for the general reader and student. A more important topic for the future of humanity from two leading experts is hard to imagine. A very timely analysis of the central issues of our time.' Helen Clark, Former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Former Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme'Andrew Haines and Howard Frumkin are two of the modern giants in planetary health. Their book highlights the value of cross-cutting approaches to human health and the health of the environment, combining resilience, health, equity, and prosperity. The book highlights the potential for the topic of planetary health to transform higher education, helping us rise to the challenge of multiple global crises. As we emerge from a global pandemic, I cannot imagine a more timely and important topic. An amazing, brilliantly argued compendium.' Judith Rodin, former President of the Rockefeller Foundation and former President of the University of Pennsylvania'By its very nature, planetary health is a vast and multidisciplinary subject. Our understanding of the field is constantly expanding, our approaches to addressing it rapidly evolving, and the political landscape surrounding it increasingly complex, and yet, Haines and Frumkin masterfully summarize the issue in all of its complexity, leaving the reader with a solid foundation of essential knowledge and - more importantly - hope, and a clearly delineated path forward.' Michele Barry, Director of the Center for Innovation in Global Health, Stanford University, California'The Anthropocene Era. Our children and our children's children will be astonished that the first fully comprehensive book to describe their everyday life, was not written till 2021. And as they reflect on what Sir Andy Haines and Howard Frumkin have laid out, they will either ask why did we not follow the ideas for transformative change in this book; or they will stand together in hope saying, humanity took heed, it listened to evidence and common sense, and we were able to tilt the earth's systems on their axis. This book is a watershed, its integrated science combines separate strands of knowledge, and creates the space for far more equitable participation in and ownership of the actions needed. This book is published at a watershed moment in history, when the health of the planet is in our hands. Can Planetary Health become our zeitgeist?' Liz Grant, Assistant Principal, University of Edinburgh'Sir Andy Haines and Howard Frumkin's book Planetary Health: Safeguarding Human Health and the Environment in the Anthropocene is a fact-filled and thought-provoking volume that explains the origins and proposes sound solutions to the existential crises of the Anthropocene Era … This book offers a holistic approach that helps us understand why we must respect, protect and enforce multisectorial frameworks if we are to maintain the integrity of the unique integrated complex system that is the Earth. The book also describes the many actions each of us can choose to take across sectors and within the finite planetary boundaries and cultural context, to reverse and reduce the current risks to a minimum and to remain healthy. An important read!' Agnes Binagwaho, Vice Chancellor of the University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda'A brilliant book: Planetary Health, defined by founders of the field.' Tony Capon, Monash University, Victoria'A splendid and important piece of work. Andy Haines and Howard Frumkin have, over many decades, led the world in the understanding of the relationships between environment and health. In this crucially important book, they show how our destructive behaviour, on a huge scale, has undermined our environment in ways that foster pandemics and infectious diseases, and which profoundly damage our physical and mental health. They also show, through careful and evidence-based analysis, how we can transform how we live, work, and consume to not only restore our environment but also live in much healthier and more enjoyable ways.'

Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews, it shows how various actors gave meaning to the Act and how the Act both shaped, and was shaped by, wider changes in UK society.Trade Review'This ever so readable book brings conceptual clarity and fascinating historical detail to understanding the dynamic nature of an abortion law. The book will be an invaluable guide in post-decriminalisation jurisdictions, like Australia, as health laws replace criminal laws on abortion, also becoming living texts open to contest and interpretation.' Barbara Baird, Associate Professor in Women's and Gender Studies, Flinders University and Co-Convenor South Australian Abortion Action Coalition'Built on impressive historiographical and socio-legal foundations, The Abortion Act brings together an astounding range of materials to document and explains the resilience, evolution, and contestation of this one, decades-old statute. Written with sensitivity, rigour, and elegance, it is essential reading on abortion regulation, legal and political innovation, and the everyday politics of reproductive rights in the UK.' Fiona de Londras, Chair of Global Legal Studies, University of Birmingham'This is an exemplary account of struggles to fix the meaning of Britain's most controversial law. It is eye-opening to see how, over a half-century, pitched battles and quiet reforms revolutionized the practice of abortion in ways no one foresaw in 1967- while hardly altering the statute itself.' Nick Hopwood, Professor of History of Science and Medicine, University of Cambridge'This fascinating book is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand UK abortion law, but it is of much wider significance. It shows how legal meanings are created through the complex interplay of theory and practice. Everyone who cares about the processes of law reform should study it closely.' Sir Jonathan Montgomery, FMedSci, LLM, Hon FRPCH, Faculty of Laws, University College London'This important and impressive book chronicles the coming into force of what can be labelled the most contested Act of Parliament in English legal history.

Cambridge University Press Civil Rights
Book SynopsisAll of us are entitled to the protections of law against violence, to a high quality education, to decent employment that respects our dignity, and to necessary assistance with our caregiving. Our civil rights are our rights to the protections of ordinary law - not constitutional law, and not only antidiscrimination law - that will ensure that we can participate in civil society, and hence lead flourishing lives. In this innovative work, Robin L. West looks back to nineteenth-century Civil Rights Acts to argue that the point of civil rights law is not only non-discrimination, but also to assure that all of us receive the protection of legal rights that promote human flourishing. Since the 1960s, Supreme Court decisions on civil rights issues have focused on non-discrimination and thus have ''hollowed out'' this broader meaning of civil rights law.

Cambridge University Press Architectures of Earth System Governance
Book SynopsisInternational institutions are prevalent in world politics. More than a thousand multilateral treaties are in place just to protect the environment alone, and there are many more. And yet, it is also clear that these institutions do not operate in a void but are enmeshed in larger, highly complex webs of governance arrangements. This compelling book conceptualises these broader structures as the ''architectures'' of global governance. Here, over 40 international relations scholars offer an authoritative synthesis of a decade of research on global governance architectures with an empirical focus on protecting the environment and vital earth systems. They investigate the structural intricacies of earth system governance and explain how global architectures enable or hinder individual institutions and their overall effectiveness. The book offers much-needed conceptual clarity about key building blocks and structures of complex governance architectures, charts detailed directions for new rTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Cyber Operations and International Law
Book SynopsisThis book offers a comprehensive analysis of the international law applicable to cyber operations, including a systematic examination of attribution, lawfulness and remedies. It demonstrates the importance of countermeasures as a form of remedies and also shows the limits of international law, highlighting its limits in resolving issues related to cyber operations. There are several situations in which international law leaves the victim State of cyber operations helpless. Two main streams of limits are identified. First, in the case of cyber operations conducted by non-state actors on the behalf of a State, new technologies offer various ways to coordinate cyber operations without a high level of organization. Second, the law of State responsibility offers a range of solutions to respond to cyber operations and seek reparation, but it does not provide an answer in every case and it cannot solve the problem related to technical capabilities of the victim.Trade Review'An important and illuminating contribution to a vital but infrequently explored area of 'cyber hostilities'.' JHH Weiler, Editor-in-Chief, European Journal of International Law'In line with the Paris Call for trust and security in the cyberspace launched by President Macron, France firmly believes that the application of International Law, including the UN Charter in its entirety, international humanitarian law and customary international law, is and needs to remain the foundation for peace and security in cyberspace. François Delerue's in-depth analysis constitutes an essential intellectual contribution towards building more trust, security and stability in cyberspace.' Henri Verdier, Ambassador for digital Affairs, French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs'François Delerue's stimulating and thought-provoking study is a must read for those seeking a fresh look on international law and contemporary challenges. It is a valuable contribution to classical international scholarship, while providing readers with technical background necessary to better understand current legal issues in cyberspace. Its particular strength is a detailed yet practical take on attribution, due diligence and state responsibility with poignant references to resilience and cyber operations.' Joanna Kulesza, University of Lodz, Poland'Cyber Operations and International Law offers an important - and comprehensive - treatment of international law's application to State and State-sponsored operations in cyberspace. Taking readers beyond the well-trodden grounds of armed conflicts, Delerue covers a range of international legal issues, including sovereignty, non-intervention, counter-measures, and human rights. In doing so, he provides an accessible account of the technology and its challenges to the efficacy of international law in regulating global cybersecurity.' Duncan B. Hollis, Temple University, Philadelphia'In a context of enhanced strategic competition between great powers and proliferation of state sponsored cyber attacks that threaten international peace and cyber stability, François Delerue's Book offers a brilliant and insightful contribution to the debates about how international law applies to cyber operations. His sophisticated and thorough analysis of complex legal debates, supported by well-documented examples, is both accessible to non-lawyers and of great value for scholars and practitioners.' Frederick Douzet, Université Paris 8, Director of GEODE'This study is illustrated by numerous examples drawn from State practice, demonstrating the topicality of the subject and constituting thus a useful manual for professionals [of] law. The author succeeds, while leading [an] in-depth analysis of the subject, to [make] accessible to legal and non-legal readers the 'old concepts of international law' which for some seem to find a second youth in the era of the multiplication of cyber operations.' Aude Géry, Hérodote'Cyber Operations and International Law is a compelling, logical, and important book that touches on all of the critical international law topics while asking difficult questions … François Delerue successfully accomplishes the heroic task of untangling both the technology and law surrounding cyber operations in a book that will undoubtedly serve as a leading foundation for further scholarly activity in this space.' Ido Kilovaty, American Journal of International Law'The analysis is particularly useful as there are few generalist works in international law on cybersecurity. Delerue's work offers another doctrinal approach, for a useful comparison of scientific analyzes.' Anne-Thida Norodom, Politique étrangère'The book by François Delerue provides an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of a legal order facing unprecedented challenges-from cyber attackson nuclearplants to election meddling through digital espionage. The result of Delerue 's analysis is a comprehensive study of the currentstate of IL applicable to cyber operations;in its length, depth, and thor-oughness one of the first of its kind. Taking the classic law of state responsibility as his startingpoint and foundation,the author meticulously lays out the international legal framework limiting states' behavior in cyberspace. The book will not only appeal to international legal scholars however. Delerue makes an effort to bridge the gap between lawyers,computer- and political scientists, explaining the essentials of each discipline to the others where necessary.' Rachel F. Behring, Heidelberg Journal of International Law'Delerue is a research fellow in cyber defense and international law at the Institute for Strategic Research … and his deep knowledge of cyber security and cyber defense and their relationship with international law is evident in the book. Delerue cogently explains difficult technical concepts in the field of cyber operations and makes these notions easily comprehensible for international lawyers. The book has many examples from real life cases of wrongful cyber operations and these examples ensure that the author's reasoning becomes more relatable … the book is an excellent academic endeavour.'

Cambridge University Press The Intricacies of Dicta and Dissent
Book SynopsisCommon-law judgments tend to be more than merely judgments, for judges often make pronouncements that they need not have made had they kept strictly to the task in hand. Why do they do this? The Intricacies of Dicta and Dissent examines two such types of pronouncement, obiter dicta and dissenting opinions, primarily as aspects of English case law. Neil Duxbury shows that both of these phenomena have complex histories, have been put to a variety of uses, and are not amenable to being straightforwardly categorized as secondary sources of law. This innovative and unusual study casts new light on and will prompt lawyers to pose fresh questions about the common law tradition and the nature of judicial decision-making.Trade Review'Professor Duxbury provides us with a wealth of scholarship and some valuable insights into two aspects of judging which have not received much attention to date. In particular, he shows us how the two are inter-related – all dissents being essentially obiter dicta – and debunks the myth that today's dissent is tomorrow's orthodoxy – although I hope that it is not always a myth.' Brenda Hale, the Baroness Hale of Richmond, former President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom'A very thoughtful discussion of two aspects of judicial practice which deserve more attention, exploring how obiter dicta are used to fit an individual case into a wider principled legal scheme and what moves judges to write dissents. It encouraged me to reflect more deeply about my own judicial writing.' Philip Sales, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council'In these twin essays of breathtaking range and erudition, Neil Duxbury illuminates two largely unstudied ways in which judges contribute to the common law by expressing views that create no binding precedent. Anyone interested in the craft of judging will be wiser, as well as hugely well informed, after reading this book.' George Leggatt, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom'Advocates and judges constitute a small minority of the legal profession. But they and others will be rewarded by reading this attractive, succinct monograph, which is an exemplary and insightful study into under-appreciated aspects of the craft of judgment writing and legal argument…. It is difficult to imagine readers who would not emerge wiser from reading the account of the changing attitudes to majority decisions of multi-member courts.'

Cambridge University Press Day Fines in Europe
Book SynopsisDay fines, as a pecuniary sanction, have a great potential to reduce inequality in the criminal sentencing system, as they impose the same relative punishment on all offenders irrespective of their income. Furthermore, with correct implementation, they can constitute an alternative sanction to the more repressive and not always efficient short-term prison sentences. Finally, by independently expressing in the sentence the severity and the income of the offender, day fines can increase uniformity and transparency of sentencing. Having this in mind, almost half of the European Union countries have adopted day fines in their criminal justice system. For the first time, this book makes their findings accessible to a wider international audience. Aimed at scholars, policy makers and criminal law practitioners, it provides an opportunity to learn about the theoretical advantages, the practical challenges, the successes and failures, and ways to improve.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Life after Privacy
Book SynopsisPrivacy is gravely endangered in the digital age, and we, the digital citizens, are its principal threat, willingly surrendering it to avail ourselves of new technology, and granting the government and corporations immense power over us. In this highly original work, Firmin DeBrabander begins with this premise and asks how we can ensure and protect our freedom in the absence of privacy. Canand shouldwe rally anew to support this institution? Is privacy so important to political liberty after all? DeBrabander makes the case that privacy is a poor foundation for democracy, that it is a relatively new value that has been rarely enjoyed throughout historybut constantly persecutedand politically and philosophically suspect. The vitality of the public realm, he argues, is far more significant to the health of our democracy, but is equally endangeredand often overlookedin the digital age.Trade Review'… Life After Privacy: Reclaiming Democracy in a Surveillance Society is an eloquent, compelling call for us to rethink our commitment to privacy by understanding its history and uses. Rather than attempting to double down on a possibly doomed principle, DeBrabander argues that what is really needed is more democracy, and specifically a newly energized commitment to a public sphere that requires open, transparent, and meaningful debate. An indispensable book for our times that does what great political philosophy needs to do - make us question what we mean by our most basic concepts.' William Egginton, author of The Splintering of the American Mind'In 2020, more so than in 1984, the Big Brother is watching you. But does this really matter? - asks Firmin DeBrabander's pungent new book. Ranging from intellectual history to contemporary economics, from Big Data to Big Politics, from confession to contestation, Life After Privacy argues that we should finally begin caring for the public realm, rather than obsessing about intrusions into the private domain, which is something of a political fiction. If there is a work with the potential to reframe the very terms of the current debate on privacy, it is the one you are now holding in your hands!' Michael Marder, author of Political Categories: Thinking Beyond Concepts'This book makes accessible a counter-intuitive (perhaps even seemingly-contrarian) argument about privacy that deserves a hearing. Not all readers will agree with DeBrabander's conclusion that privacy is pretty much dead. But this is a view murmured often enough in Silicon Valley to warrant serious attention. DeBrabander understands our skepticisms but skillfully argues that we are inexorably drawn to this conclusion nonetheless. Those who care deeply about privacy, as well as those who look forward to the transparent society, will learn much from this book's subtle arguments. And remember: the best philosophy books are the ones that strike you as implausible by their title but leave you convinced after you've read them.' Colin Koopman, author of How We Became Our Data'Life After Privacy does a good job of setting our angst in a historical or philosophical setting.'
