Cambridge University Press The Administrative Foundations of the Chinese
Book SynopsisThis systematic study of Chinese taxation explains the lessons China's successful revenue-raising effort holds for developing countries, the reasons why mainstream economic theories must be revised to recognize fundamentally different types of state capacity, and the challenging questions the Chinese paradigm raises for the future of taxation.Trade Review'One of the foremost international tax scholars in the world, Cui Wei presents a fascinating yet largely unknown recent development in international fiscal policy: the extraordinary decision by China to implement its income tax system without relying on principles - the rule of law, and self-assessment by taxpayers - that are foundational elements of sound tax administration in most developed countries. Cui's highly readable, carefully researched, and balanced account is must-reading for those interested in understanding China's likely future place on the world stage.' George K. Yin, Distinguished Professor of Law and Taxation Emeritus, University of Virginia'This book provides a fresh and informative account about how the Chinese tax system really works. Even those not specifically interested in China or taxation can learn much from this examination of the development of China's policy in this area. Wei Cui's book offers not only a novel approach to studying tax administration but also many useful lessons for anyone concerned with implementing public policy in any country. In policy analysis, the devil is usually found in the details: this is a rare study that not only delves into the relevant details but also carefully places them within the relevant context and shows how context shapes both policy and outcomes,' Richard M. Bird, Professor Emeritus of Economic Analysis and Policy, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto'Cui presents an engrossing story of the operation of the Chinese tax and fiscal systems. The rich empirical data, the refreshing perspective from which the subject matter is examined, and its novel arguments make a valuable contribution to the field. Readers familiar with taxation or Chinese legal systems will appreciate the author's mastery of his materials as well as his ability to identify key features from an array of discrete and complex information sources and to interpret those features in familiar terminologies to readers outside China.' Yan Xu, The China Quarterly'In his [remarkable] book…Cui composes a detailed picture of an organized modern tax system that does not depend on rule of law. Yet the Chinese fiscal system is neither a dissolute mess nor a top-down exercise of discretionary power…This is more than a story about tax farming or crony Communism … Cui's observations are valuable and thought-provoking for the study of any jurisdiction's tax system.'

Cambridge University Press Transnational Legal Ordering of Criminal Justice
Book SynopsisHard and soft law developed by international and regional organizations, transgovernmental networks, and international courts increasingly shape rules, procedures, and practices governing criminalization, policing, prosecution, and punishment. This dynamic calls into question traditional approaches that study criminal justice from a predominantly national perspective, or that dichotomize the study of international from national criminal law. Building on socio-legal theories of transnational legal ordering, this book develops a new approach for studying the interaction between international and domestic criminal law and practice. Distinguished scholars from different disciplines apply this approach in ten case studies of transnational legal ordering that address transnational crimes such as money laundering, corruption, and human trafficking, international crimes such as mass atrocities, and human rights abuses in law enforcement. The book provides a comprehensive treatment of the changing transnational nature of criminal justice policymaking and practice in today''s globalized world.Trade Review'This important book mounts a fundamental challenge to the nation-state paradigm of criminal justice scholarship. Wide ranging, theoretically rigorous, and consistently readable, it moves the study of transnational legal ordering of criminal justice to a new level of sophistication.' Nicola Lacey, School Professor of Law, Gender and Social Policy, London School of Economics'There is sway and sweep in the comprehension of translational legal ordering in this fine book. It exposes diversity, incoherence, yet patterns in regimes ranging from criminal regulation of human trafficking to corruption, war crimes, sexual violence, money laundering, human rights, and more. This is a landmark instantiation of a big picture socio-legal framework.' John Braithwaite, Australian National University'A path-breaking set of essays that examines the driving forces and consequences of the transnationalization of criminal justice law and policy, with reference to criminalizing global social problems, tackling impunity for serious international crimes, and efforts to build human rights penal standards. The work is guided by a coherent theory of the varying roles of states in transnational legal orders. No student of contemporary criminal justice should miss the chance to learn from the theory and case studies.' David Nelken, King's College London'Norms of criminal justice, no less than crime itself, refuse to remain neatly contained within national jurisdictions. Gregory Shaffer and Ely Aaronson's collection of essays illustrates the ways in which a reasonably distinct transnational order has developed, become elaborated, and in some cases encountered contradiction and resistance. One of the book's great insights is that the transnational legal ordering of criminal law has in some ways empowered the state to reclaim its own legal authority. Read this book, and you will appreciate the impossibility of dichotomizing the study of modern 'national' and 'international' criminal law.' Beth A. Simmons, Andrea Mitchell University Professor of Law, Political Science and Business Ethics, University of Pennsylvania'The norms, institutions, and practices of criminal justice systems around the world have been deeply transformed in the last few decades by globalization and many new international and transnational legal regimes. Criminal justice, comparative law, and international law scholars are still grappling with these changes. By applying the illuminating theory of transnational legal orders to criminal justice, this impressive group of top scholars gathered in this book provides crucial insights to make sense of these changes. This book is an essential tool for anyone interested in them.'

Cambridge University Press Property without Rights
Book SynopsisMajor land reform programs have reallocated property in more than one-third of the world''s countries in the last century and impacted over one billion people. But only rarely have these programs granted beneficiaries complete property rights. Why is this the case, and what are the consequences? This book draws on wide-ranging original data and charts new conceptual terrain to reveal the political origins of the property rights gap. It shows that land reform programs are most often implemented by authoritarian governments who deliberately withhold property rights from beneficiaries. In so doing, governments generate coercive leverage over rural populations and exert social control. This is politically advantageous to ruling governments but it has negative development consequences: it slows economic growth, productivity, and urbanization and it exacerbates inequality. The book also examines the conditions under which subsequent governments close property rights gaps, usually as a result of democratization or foreign pressure.Trade Review'Low productivity in agriculture condemns many countries and regions to poverty. This erudite book combines history and detailed data analysis to show that low productivity is often caused by a property rights gap, created by regimes trying to cultivate large masses of peasants dependent on them. The book explains where these missing property rights in land emerge, what they imply for inequality and poverty, and how they can be overcome. This is first-rate social science that should inform modern debates on development and policy.' Daron Acemoglu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'In this landmark study, based on more than a decade of intrepid fieldwork and imaginative analysis of the most comprehensive dataset on rural property rights ever assembled, Michael Albertus systematically unravels the great puzzle of why so many states fail to provide secure property rights over land to their citizens. This pathbreaking book convincingly exposes the political motives that lead governments to open and maintain wide gaps in property rights, and that induce democracies to close them.' Larry Diamond, Stanford University'This outstanding book makes the case for understanding why governments distribute land but not secure property rights to rural dwellers. These property rights gaps are of great consequence throughout the developing world. Yet they are poorly understood. Whereas these gaps are often attributed to misguided policy or state weakness, Albertus makes a compelling case that they are rooted in political choices, often aimed at sustaining autocracy. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of rights and redistribution.' Steven Levitsky, Harvard University'Around the world millions of rural dwellers live in a state of limbo in which they receive property but few if any rights over that property. With a broad comparative perspective, this book offers a novel theory, in-depth case studies, and sophisticated empirical analyses about this important phenomenon. It is a must-read for those interested in development, political regimes, land reform and the politics of economic redistribution.' Beatriz Magaloni, Stanford University'… book's overall quality will likely make it an influential contribution to the literature of rural politics for many years. Highly recommended.' D.

Cambridge University Press Jurisdictional Exceptionalisms
Book SynopsisJurisdictional Exceptionalisms examines the legal issues associated with a parent''s forced removal of their children to reside in another country following relationship dissolution or divorce. Through an analysis of Public and Private International Laws, and Islamic law - historical and as implemented in contemporary Muslim Family Law States - the authors uncover distinct legal lexicons that centre children''s interests in premodern Islamic legal doctrines, modern State practice, and multilateral conventions on children. While legal advocates and policy makers pursue global solutions to parental child abduction, this volume identifies fundamental obstacles, including the absence of shared understandings of jurisdiction. By examining the relevant law and practice, the study exposes the polarised politics embedded in the technical legal rules on jurisdiction. Presenting a new, innovative method in comparative legal history, the book examines the beliefs, values, histories, doctrines, inTrade Review'International parental child abduction is a global problem. It is the subject of the 1980 Hague Abduction Convention which is generally regarded as a successful international family law instrument and to which there are 101 Contracting States. However, very few of those States are what Emon and Khaliq describe as Muslim Family Law States. Furthermore, until now, there has been no extensive treatise examining the problem from an Islamic perspective. Judicial Exceptionalisms plugs this gap and provides a challenging analysis both of the problems that parental child abduction creates and of the difficulties that Muslim Family Law States face in acceding to the 1980 Convention. In its conclusion, the authors thoughtfully explore the options that Muslim Family Law States might adopt in going forward in reaching an international agreement on how to deal with abduction.'

Cambridge University Press The Right to Repair
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, companies around the world have deployed an arsenal of tools-including IP law, hardware design, software restrictions, pricing strategies, and marketing messages-to prevent consumers from fixing the things they own. While this strategy has enriched companies almost beyond measure, it has taken billions of dollars out of the pockets of consumers and imposed massive environmental costs on the planet. In The Right to Repair, Aaron Perzanowski analyzes the history of repair to show how we''ve arrived at this moment, when a battle over repair is being waged-largely unnoticed-in courtrooms, legislatures, and administrative agencies. With deft, lucid prose, Perzanowski explains the opaque and complex legal landscape that surrounds the right to repair and shows readers how to fight back--Trade Review'Aaron Perzanowski has an important story to tell about the erosion of consumer rights, and what government, corporations, and designers can do to reverse it. Packed with groundbreaking research and insights, The Right to Repair: Reclaiming Control Over the Things We Own is an essential guide to fixing the relationship that today's consumers have to the environment, and the stuff they buy.' Adam Minter, author of Junkyard Planet and Secondhand'In this powerfully argued account, Perzanowski vividly illustrates how the current era of 'planned obsolescence' has eroded our fundamental right to repair. His book provides both fascinating cultural history and an ambitious but promising path forward.' Dr Kate Darling, MIT Research Specialist and author of The New Breed'A definitive text on a definitive issue: will we be allowed to make our things work for as long as they're useful, or will corporations use the law to force us to arrange our affairs to suit their shareholders, at the expense of our dignity, our self-determination, and our habitable future on this planet?' Cory Doctorow, author of Attack Surface and How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism'The author who showed us that we don't own the things we 'buy' is back with a new and equally compelling book. Perzanowski explains why we - and the planet - need the ability to fix things when they break, and how the law has taken that away from us.' Mark A. Lemley, William H. Neukom Professor, Stanford Law School'Why can't we just fix our stuff? Perzanowski systematically unmasks the obsolescence in our lives, and charts a path to reclaiming ownership before it's lost forever.' Kyle Wiens, iFixit CEO'A readable and comprehensive book on a timely issue that affects everyone. Perzanowski shows how the 'right to repair' is really a battle over control of the devices we own and use.' Bruce Schneier, author of Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyperconnected World'The Right to Repair is a riveting account of the multi-faceted ways in which developers of a wide range of devices today inhibit or thwart the ability of consumers to fix those devices, ways in which laws sometimes reinforce the developer restrictions, and various strategies by which a repair-friendly landscape could be renewed. Consumers have largely ignored the high costs of buying unfixable devices - not just to their pocketbooks but also to the environment. The nascent right to repair social movement is gaining momentum. To understand why, read this book!' Pamela Samuelson, Richard M. Sherman Distinguished Professor of Law, UC Berkeley School of LawTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; 1. Introduction; 2.

Cambridge University Press Shared Obligations in International Law
Book SynopsisThere are various situations in which multiple states or international organizations are bound to an international obligation in the context of cooperative activities and the pursuit of common goals. This practical phenomenon of sharing international obligations raises questions regarding the performance of obligations (who is bound to do what) and international responsibility in case of a breach (who can be held responsible for what). This book puts forward a concept of shared obligations that captures this practical phenomenon and enables scholars and practitioners to tackle these questions. In doing so, it engages in positive law-based categorization and systematization, building on existing categorizations of obligations and putting forward new typologies of shared obligations. Ultimately, it is contended that the sharing of obligations has relevant legal implications: it can influence the content and performance of obligations as well as the responsibility relations that arise in Table of Contents1. Setting the scene: Sharing international obligations; 2. The concept of shared obligations in international law; 3. The distinction between bilateral and multilateral legal relations in the international law of obligations; 4. Indivisible and divisible shared obligations in international law; 5. Sharing international obligations and the determination of shared responsibility; 6. Claiming cessation and reparation for breaches of shared obligations; 7.

Cambridge University Press Ending Income Inequality
Book SynopsisIncome inequality in America has been on the rise for decades, but policy and legal thought has yet to catch up. Both parties in the United States have been hesitant to intervene in the market to address this problem, while the income tax system has been touted as a better and more efficient way to tackle income inequality. However, the tax system itself has failed to keep pace with the widening gaps in income. Ending Income Inequality challenges arguments made by legal scholars in the field of law and economics, who have supported the tax system over redistributive legal rules. By examining specific areas of the law such as minimum wage, collective bargaining, antitrust law, intellectual property, and housing regulation, the book argues that using legal rules, in addition to income taxes, is a promising path to reverse rising inequality.

Cambridge University Press Law and Politics on Export Restrictions
Book SynopsisDelving into export restrictive measures this book links the key areas of WTO law, public international law, investment and competition law to expose how and why WTO rules on export dimension are insufficient due to export bias; how public international law helps to justify their adoption or maintenance; and how investment and competition laws contribute to their regulation. Built on works on accession protocols and national security exceptions, this book goes beyond international trade law and looks into international political economy, competition and investment law. It contributes to debates in conceptualising public and private forms of export restrictions, appreciating the complementary nature of trade and competition law in disciplining them; capturing the dynamic between trade and investment policies for their effectuation and circumvention; and bridging trade law and public international law to better understand their impositions for political and diplomatic purposes with the iTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisExplains how privacy laws are overridden by technology companies and how they can be improved. Drawing from behavioral science, psychology, sociology, and economics, the book dispels misconceptions that trap us into ineffective approaches to growing digital harms. It then develops solutions based on corporate accountability.Trade Review'To protect privacy in the digital age, Ignacio Cofone argues, we must rethink privacy harms. These harms are social and systemic as well as individual, and they will not be remedied by market and contractual approaches. This beautifully written book is an excellent introduction to problems of digital exploitation that affect everyone.' Jack Balkin, Yale Law School'Why are privacy rules failing us when we need them the most? In this superb book, Ignacio Cofone expertly threads together privacy law's many missteps and proposes a way forward that doesn't rest on myths and misconceptions. The Privacy Fallacy clearly and effectively stakes out an essential turning point for lawmakers and society: We either commit to holding companies liable for the full range of harms they cause, or we continue to indulge in the fantasy that privacy can be individually negotiated and that our laws have it under control.' Woodrow Hartzog, Boston University'With the rigor of an economist and the heart of a humanist, Cofone explores why privacy law has been disappointingly powerless in today's data-driven society. He proposes a new understanding of privacy harm to ground a more effective liability regime. A clear and engaging read for experts and interested laypeople alike!' Katherine J.

Palgrave MacMillan UK Crime Critique and Utopia Critical Criminological Perspectives
Book SynopsisThis book explores the relevance of utopia in relation to contemporary criminology. The range of contributors explore the application of a utopian method for uncovering the potential within criminology and criminal justice, as well as the relevance of the utopian impulse for developing a challenge to the status quo in academia and beyond.Trade Review"Crime, Critique, and Utopia offers a humanistic utopianism that pushes readers bravely to envision a different future through utopian blueprints, social movements, messianic hope, and the search for radical alternatives. Utopian imagination and praxis are gravely needed in an era of mass incarceration, systemic police violence and militarization, and rapidly increasing inequality. Criminologists should heed this book's highly relevant call to resist positivism, overspecialization, and submission, and Critical Theorists should heed the contribution that critical criminology makes to projects with emancipatory intent and to an interdisciplinary unification of theory and practice." - Joan Braune, Marx & Philosophy Review of BooksTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Notes on Contributors 1.

Taylor & Francis Police Ethics
Book SynopsisPolice Ethics, Fourth Edition, provides an analysis of corruption in law enforcement organizations. The authors argue that the noble causeâa commitment to âœdoing something about bad peopleââis a central âœends-basedâ police ethic. This fundamental principle of police ethics can paradoxically open the way to community polarization and increased violence, however, when officers violate the law on behalf of personally held moral values. This book is about the power that police use to do their work and how it can lead police to abuse their positions at the individual and organizational levels. It provides students of policing with a realistic understanding of the kinds of problems they will confront in the practice of police work.This timely new edition offers police administrators direction for developing agency-wide corruption prevention strategies, and a re-written chapter further expands our level of understanding of corruption by covering the Model of Circumstantial Corruptibility in detail. The fourth edition also discusses critical ethical issues relating to the relationship between police departments and minority communities, including Black Lives Matter and other activist groups. In the post-Ferguson environment, this is a crucial text for students, academicians, and law enforcement professionals alike.Table of ContentsPart 1: Value-Based Decision-Making and the Ethics of Noble Cause 1.

Using the law as the prism through which these are examined, and fusing historical with contemporary perspectives, the book contributes to understanding the crisis in which we find ourselves as a moment of both existential danger and an opportunity.This book is in two parts. The first part charters capitalism's historical progression to globalism through the lens of the act of taking. Taking has risen to institutional prominence as a core concept in the legal lexicon of foreign investment protection to denote deprivation of private property. Post-Colonial Globalisation advances a broader notion of taking as a tool of social criticism.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Pierre Legendre Lessons III God in the Mirror
Book SynopsisIn the context of our increasingly global legal order, Pierre Legendre's God in the Mirror reconsiders the place of law within the division of existing bodies of knowledge. Navigating the texts of Ovid, Augustine, Roman jurists, medieval canon lawyers, Freud, Lacan, the notebooks of Leonardo de Vinci, and the paintings of Magritte, this third volume of Pierre Legendre's Lessons focuses on the relation of the subject to the institution of images. Legendre tracks the origins and vicissitudes of the specular metaphor within western history, carrying out a critique of its dependence on the discourse of the Imago Dei. A crucial landmark within Legendre's ongoing reconsideration of a medieval revolution of interpretation', this book dissociates the western normative tradition from its mythic foundation, separating theology and law. It thereby documents the advent of modern rational doubt, as a new legal foundation or ground: one that, for Legendre, was not only a revoTable of ContentsPrologue.

The volume brings together a range of perspectives including leading international thinkers on questions of fiduciary duty and public trust, Australia''s most prominent judicial advocate for the application of fiduciary duty, top law scholars from several major universities, expert commentary from an influential climate policy think-tank and the views of long-serving highly respected past and present parliamentarians. The book presents a detailed examination of the nature and extent of fiduciary duty, looking at the example of Australia and having regard to developments in comparable jurisdictions. It identifies principles that could improve the accountability of political actors for their responses to major problems thaTrade Review'These stimulating essays confront the incapacity of our democratic and international institutions to meet the challenge of Carbon emissions.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Social History of Company Law
Book SynopsisThe history of incorporations legislation and its administration is intimately tied to changes in social beliefs in respect to the role and purpose of the corporation. By studying the evolution of the corporate form in Britain and a number of its colonial possessions, the book illuminates debates on key concepts including the meanings of laissez faire, freedom of commerce, the notion of corporate responsibility and the role of the state in the regulation of business. In doing so, A Social History of Company Law advances our understanding of the shape, effectiveness and deficiencies of modern regulatory regimes, and will be of much interest to a wide circle of scholars.Trade Review'McQueen's timely book fills a gap in the literature by covering a period that was not studied comprehensively in recent decades. Its social history approach, particularly apt in the current period of corporate governance crisis, places company law in a thicker context. The book extends beyond Britain into its Empire and thus should interest a wider circle of scholars.' Ron Harris, Tel Aviv University, Israel 'This is a carefully argued and richly detailed piece of corporate law and legal history scholarship which should become a standard reference. It underlines the vital importance of understanding history for anyone who wishes to be truly engaged in current debates about the regulation, governance and social responsibility of corporations. ' Stephen Bottomley, ANU College of Law, Australia 'Rob McQueen reveals the modern corporate form as an embodiment of narrow interests and values; a product of political and ideological choices. Brilliant, thoroughly researched and elegantly written, A Social History of Company Law not only demonstrates the origins of the corporation, but also inspires the question - how might it be remade into something different?' Joel Bakan, University of British Columbia, Canada 'This path-breaking study provides a fascinating comparative social history of company law in Britain and the Australian Colonies, their relationship to colonialism, empire building and imperialism, and their larger socio-economic significance. McQueen effectively mines the archives and secondary literature to advance our understanding of the institutional legacies of the past and to offer a nuanced account of how the history of company law in Britain and the Australian Colonies laid the foundation for similar but divergent patterns of contemporary corporate governance. The book is clear and accessible, and will be of interest to students and scholars in Law and History, and to those concerned with the interplay between law and society.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Politics of Private Transnational Governance
Book SynopsisThis edited volume provides critical reflections on the interplay between politics and law in an increasingly transnationalized global political economy. It focuses specifically on the emergence and operation of new forms of governance that are developing through a variety of transnational contractual practices, institutions, and laws in multiple sectors and areas of economic activity. Interdisciplinary in nature, the volume includes contributions from law, political science, sociology, and international politics, with the focus on the political foundations of transnational contract being both original and path-breaking. Placing power at the center of the analysis, the volume reveals the heterogeneous landscape of contemporary law-making and the different kinds of politics giving rise to this form of global ordering. As the contributors note, this new form of governance requires a different type of political theory and legal theory, with the volume advancing understTrade Review‘Cutler and Dietz have brought together a diverse set of authors who together give us a brilliant critical interrogation of the rise of private sector experts in domains concerned with public interests.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Homicide Gender and Responsibility
Book SynopsisThe crime of homicide has long animated academic debate, community concern and political attention. The discussion has often centered on the perceived (in)adequacy of legal responses to homicide, questions of culpability, and divergent representations of victims and offenders. Within this, notions of gender, responsibility and justice are pivotal. This edited collection builds on existing scholarship by examining these concerns not only in the context of the private' world of domestic murder but also in the more public' world of the state, the corporation, war, and genocide. In so doing this book draws from key frameworks of criminological thought, legal analysis and empirical evidence to critically examine the relationship between homicide, gender and responsibility. Bringing together leading international criminology and legal scholars, this collection provides a unique contribution to the academic and policy engagement with what is, more often than not, an ordinary and munTrade ReviewThis collection of illuminating and provocative essays explicitly engages with the ways notions about gender and responsibility are deeply implicated in understandings of myriad forms of lethal violence, from the violence of individual actors to the violence of the state. Implicitly, these analyses also reveal how our understandings of lethal violence shape constructions of gender and criminal responsibility; and they require us to consider the violence of legal interpretation in both its productive and destructive forms. The international and interdisciplinary scope is impressive, informative, and imperative.—Professor Rosemary Gartner, Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies, University of Toronto, CanadaIn conclusion, Homicide, Gender and Responsibility offers an original perspective on various representations of responsibility in legal responses to homicide, though the role of gender is not emphasized in each chapter as much as the title of the collection would suggest. Every chapter uses a different conceptual and methodological approach to examine a different context in which lethal violence occurs, and the book appears as a collection of different papers which can be consulted separately depending on one's need. However, as a collection, this book could constitute a useful source for graduate students, as it provides new insights on the concept of responsibility and the blurred border between murder and manslaughter - as well as for scholars, as it provides stimulating cues for future research in these neglected approaches to lethal violence.— Eleonora Rossi and Marieke Liem, Violence Research Intiative, Leiden University, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice BooksTable of ContentsIntroduction: Homicide, Gender and Responsibility Part I: Making Sense of the Boundaries between Homicide, Gender and Responsibility 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Formation of Professional Identity
Book SynopsisBecoming a lawyer is about much more than acquiring knowledge and technique. As law students learn the law and acquire some basic skills, they are also inevitably forming a deep sense of themselves in their new roles as lawyers. That sense of self the student's nascent professional identity needs to take a particular form if the students are to fulfil the public purposes of lawyers and find deep meaning and satisfaction in their work. In this book, Professors Patrick Longan, Daisy Floyd, and Timothy Floyd combine what they have learned in many years of teaching and research concerning the lawyer's professional identity with lessons derived from legal ethics, moral psychology, and moral philosophy. They describe in depth the six virtues that every lawyer needs as part of his or her professional identity, and they explore both the obstacles to acquiring and deploying those virtues and strategies for overcoming those impediments. The result is a straightforward guide for law stuTable of Contents1. Introduction and Overview; 2. Motivation and Professional Identity; 3. Competence as a Professional Virtue; 4.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Intellectual Property Valuation and Innovation
Book SynopsisWith the recent global economic crisis, attitudes and practices in relation to intellectual property valuation are changing as exemplified by the dichotomy explained in this book, which makes it unique. While there has been a move towards global harmonisation in terms of valuation of both tangible and intangible assets that are based on innovation, there is also a tendency against global harmonisation because of cultural attitudes and practices of different countries. This can be seen most acutely in relation to intellectual property valuation in Asia, especially East Asia, which often differs from the West's perception of valuation. The book is written by experts in intellectual property, valuation and innovation who are mainly practitioners covering innovators, marketers, accountants, social innovators and business and management academics. The breadth and practitioner background of most of the contributors make the material relevant to those involved in valuation, economics,Trade Review"The editor of the book, Prof Ruth Taplin, who herself is a leading strategic commentator in this field, has assembled nine packed chapters each written by a guru in his or her area, ranging from technology to health to shipping. They confirm that valuation is increasing in complexity, whether in the residual value of maritime assets, or in financial services products. A key feature of the volume, the 18th book to date edited and/or authored by Prof Taplin, is that it threads through many disciplines to stimulate greater understanding of the buzzing world of innovation, as it asks how the US legal-economic model, with its short-term outlook, and the more family-oriented ethos of many companies in Asia, will handle the shock of mutual conflict." - James Brewer, allaboutshipping.co.uk"In conclusion, two things in particular I like about this book. First, the book demonstrates, in multiple chapters, the complex interaction among IP, entity value, and innovation. Second, the book highlights a trend that will be with us for decades to come – that is, the simultaneous withering of IP with the rise of open innovation, and the increasing importance of privately owned and enforced IP for companies to capture the value inherent in their innovations.This is a thought-provoking book and a great read, well worth the time and effort for anyone involved in the general business of innovation or intellectual property." - Larry M. Goldstein, U.S. Patent Attorney"Accurate assessment of intellectual property has always presented challenges to economists and academics. But, as technological innovation continues to blur political and cultural boundaries, it's necessary, more than ever, to re-examine the fundamental meaning of valuation. Ruth Taplin’s Intellectual Property Valuation & Innovation Towards Global Harmonisation, advances the discourse through 9 chapters, which examine the valuation of tangible and intangible assets in the evolving ‘glocalized’ economy.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Moral Foundations of the Youth Justice System
Book SynopsisWhen is it fair to hold young people criminally responsible? If young people lack the capacity to make a meaningful choice and to control their impulses, should they be held criminally culpable for their behaviour? In what ways is the immaturity of young offenders relevant to their blameworthiness? Should youth offending behaviour be proscribed by criminal law? These are just some of the questions asked in this thoughtful and provocative book.In The Moral Foundations of the Youth Justice System, Raymond Arthur explores international and historical evidence on how societies regulate criminal behaviour by young people, and undertakes a careful examination of the developmental capacities and processes that are relevant to young people's criminal choices. He argues that the youth justice response needs to be reconceptualised in a context where one of the central objectives of institutions regulating children and young people's behaviour is to support the interests aTrade Review'This text makes a valuable contribution to contemporary youth justice with its thoroughgoing analysis of a much neglected issue. Arthur offers an informed, insightful and welcome exposition of the moral foundations of responses to youth offending; one that supplements and extrapolates the existing literature.'Stephen Case, Professor of Criminology in the Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough University, UKTable of Contents1.
