Cambridge University Press The Politics of Justice in European Private Law
Book SynopsisThe Politics of Justice in European Private Law intends to highlight the differences between the Member States'' concepts of social justice, which have developed historically, and the distinct European concept of access justice. Contrary to the emerging critique of Europe''s justice deficit in the aftermath of the Euro crisis, this book argues that beneath the larger picture of the Monetary Union, a more positive and more promising European concept of justice is developing. European access justice is thinner than national social justice, but access justice represents a distinct conception of justice nevertheless. Member States or nation states remain free to complement European access justice and bring to bear their own pattern of social justice.Trade Review'Maybe above all, the book highlights with great accuracy the open character and experimental nature of this 'laboratory' that constitutes the European legal order and the great singularity of its normative production.'

Justice beyond the Nation State – the European Experiment; Part III. Considerations on the Post Classical Private Law; Part IV. Conclusions and Outlook.

Cambridge University Press ASEAN Law in the New Regional Economic Order
Book SynopsisThe fast-growing last decade of strong economic growth of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has played a critical role in Asia-Pacific regionalism and global trade. This book explores the concept of ASEAN law under the normative framework of the new regional economic order. It examines the roadmap of the new ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint 2025 by evaluating the impact of ASEAN trade agreements on domestic legislation on professional services, financial integration, investment disputes and digital trade. More importantly, it sheds light on the legal implications of ASEAN''s agreements with China and India and the potential developments of mega-regional trade agreements such as the CPTPP and the RCEP. Hence, the legal analysis and case studies in the book offer a fresh view of Asia-Pacific integration and bridge the gap between academia and practice.Trade Review'This volume makes a valuable contribution to debates on regional and international economic integration at a time when both are under threat.

Cambridge University Press Property Law in a Globalizing World
Book SynopsisProperty Law in a Globalizing World identifies the paramount challenges that contemporary processes of globalization pose for the study and practice of property law. It offers a straightforward analysis of legal scenarios implicating cross-border property rights, covering a broad range of resources, from land, goods, and intangible financial assets to intellectual property, data, and digital assets. This is the first scholarly book offering a detailed study of legal strategies that can decrease the gap between the domestic tenets of property law and the cross-border nature of markets, interpersonal networks, and technology. It shows how strategies of soft law, conflict of laws, approximation, and supranationalism rely to various degrees on cross-border property norms and institutions, and studies the proprietary features of security interests and priorities to assets in insolvency in a global setting. It also shows how digital technology such as blockchain can revolutionize the system of cross-border property rights.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Why property law needs globalization strategies; 2. Local to global: an institutional analysis; 3. Land; 4. Tangible goods, monetary claims, investment securities; 5. Intellectual property, data, and digital assets; 6. Security interests and proprietary priorities in insolvency.

Cambridge University Press On Resilience
Book SynopsisWhat does it mean to be resilient in a societal or in an international context? Where does resilience come from? From which discipline was it ''imported'' into international relations (IR)? If a particular government employs the meaning of resilience to its own benefit, should scholars reject the analytical purchase of the concept of resilience as a whole? Does a government have the monopoly of understanding how resilience is defined and applied? This book addresses these questions. Even though resilience in global politics is not new, a major shift is currently happening in how we understand and apply resilience in world politics. Resilience is indeed increasingly theorised, rather than simply employed as a noun; it has left the realm of vocabulary and entered the terrain of concept. This book demonstrates the multiple origins of resilience, traces the diverse expressions of resilience in IR to various historical markers, and propose a theory of resilience in world politics.Trade ReviewAdvance praise: 'Inter-disciplinary perspectives are talked up so often perhaps because they are so rarely carried off successfully. Bourbeau's book theorising resilience is one of these positive exceptions that marks a significant intervention in International Relations scholarship, shedding important new light on vitally topical areas from migration, to terrorism, to climate change.' Jason Sharman, Sir Patrick Sheehy Professor of International Relations, University of CambridgeAdvance praise: 'Resilience seems to be today's buzzword in world politics – I see it everywhere. In this new book, Philippe Bourbeau offers a sophisticated theorisation of the concept of resilience, a fascinating case study on migrations, and many insightful suggestions for further research. His analysis helps us understand the many uses and abuses of the idea of resilience in contemporary international relations debates.' Séverine Autesserre, Barnard College, Columbia University, author of Peaceland and The Trouble With the CongoTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. A Genealogy of resilience; 2. Resilience and security; 3. Resilience and migration; 4. Opening up a resilience research agenda; Conclusion.

Cambridge University Press Liberal Legality
Book SynopsisIn his new book, Lewis D. Sargentich shows how two different kinds of legal argument - rule-based reasoning and reasoning based on principles and policies - share a surprising kinship and serve the same aspiration. He starts with the study of the rule of law in life, a condition of law that serves liberty - here called liberal legality. In pursuit of liberal legality, courts work to uphold people''s legal entitlements and to confer evenhanded legal justice. Judges try to achieve the control of reason in law, which is manifest in law''s coherence, and to avoid forms of arbitrariness, such as personal moral judgment. Sargentich offers a unified theory of the diverse ways of doing law, and shows that they all arise from the same root, which is a commitment to liberal legality.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Rethinking Transitional Justice for the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisTransitional justice is the dominant lens through which the world grapples with legacies of mass atrocity, and yet it has rarely reflected the diversity of peace and justice traditions around the world. Hewing to a largely western and legalist script, truth commissions and war crimes tribunals have become the default means of ''doing justice''. Rethinking Transitional Justice for the Twenty-First Century puts the blind spots and assumptions of transitional justice under the microscope, and asks whether the field might be re-imagined to better suit the diversity and realities of the twenty-first century. At the core of this re-imagining is an examination of the broader field of post-conflict peace building and associated critical theory, from which both caution and inspiration can be drawn. By using this lens, Dustin N. Sharp shows how we might begin to generate a more cosmopolitan and mosaic theory, and imagine more creative and context-sensitive approaches to building peace with justice.Table of Contents1. Introduction: transitional justice foundations; Part I. Transitional Justice Peripheries: 2. Justice for what?; 3. Justice for whom?; 4. Justice to what ends?; Part II. Building a Better Foundation: 5. Peacebuilding and liberal post-conflict governance; 6. Transitional justice and liberal international peacebuilding; 7. Towards a more emancipatory transitional justice as peacebuilding project; 8. Conclusion: after the end of history, what should transitional justice become?

Cambridge University Press Sanctity of Contracts in a Secular Age
Book SynopsisThe phrase ''sanctity of contracts'' implies that contracts should always be strictly enforced. But when this objective is relentlessly implemented ruinous burdens are sometimes imposed on one party and extravagant enrichments conferred on the other. Despite recognition of the need to control highly unreasonable contracts in various particular contexts, there remain many instances in which the courts have refused to modify unreasonable contracts, sometimes with extravagant results that are avowedly ''grotesque''. In the computer age assent may be inferred from a click on a screen in the absence of any real agreement to the terms, which are often very burdensome to the user. In this book, arguments are advanced in favour of recognition of a general judicial power to relieve against highly unreasonable contracts, not only for the benefit of the disadvantaged party, but for the avoidance of unjust enrichment, and for the avoidance of anomalous gaps in the law.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. Introduction; 2. Concepts derived from equity; 3. Duress; 4. Interpretation and implied terms; 5. The limits of enforcement; 6. Conclusiveness of documents in the digital age; 7.

Cambridge University Press A Case for Shareholders Fiduciary Duties in Common Law Asia
Book SynopsisThis book reconceptualises the role of the general meeting and shareholders in the listed companies in four leading common law jurisdictions in Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Malaysia) as one that should include fiduciary duties. It demonstrates why, when, by whom and how fiduciary duties should be imposed and how they could be enforced. In so doing, it refutes the long-standing common law rule that shareholders can generally vote as they please. The book advances the debate on a central notion of corporate law, namely, the interests of the company. It addresses the deficiencies in the law regulating conflicts of interest involving controlling shareholders and institutional shareholders and provides solutions to the problem of activist and passive minority institutional investors. This book challenges us to rethink the meaning and implementation of the long-term success of the company and shows how corporate governance should and could be made.Trade Review'Professor Lim's book is an impressive contribution to an important corporate governance debate regarding the role of shareholders. By combining excellent doctrinal, empirical and policy-focused research, he argues for a reconceptualisation of the role of shareholders in listed companies, including the imposition of fiduciary duties on these shareholders. The book primarily focuses on listed companies in Hong Kong, Singapore, India and Malaysia but is undoubtedly of broad international significance. Many will benefit from reading this insightful and thought-provoking book.' Ian Ramsay, Harold Ford Professor of Commercial Law and Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor, University of Melbourne'This book makes a trenchant and compelling case for imposing legal responsibility on corporate shareholders in the four Asian common law jurisdictions, drawing assuredly on jurisprudence, doctrine, best practice and actual practice. With insight, skill and erudition, the author makes the strongest case yet for root-and-branch revision of the Anglo-Saxon approach to the rights and duties of corporate participants. This is essential reading for anyone seriously interested in corporate governance, whether in common law Asia or anywhere in the world.' William W. Bratton, Nicholas F. Gallicchio Professor of Law, and Co-Director, Institute for Law and Economics, University of Pennsylvania'Controlling shareholders are the norm for most of the world's companies. There are a wide range of mechanisms by which such controllers can influence corporate activities to their own benefit and to the detriment of minority shareholders. In this important book, Ernest Lim presents cogent arguments for a reassessment of the position in Asian company laws under which controllers are generally not subject to fiduciary duties. The author also makes a case for institutional shareholders to be subject to fiduciary duties because of conflicts of interest between them and the company. This book will challenge readers to rethink the function of corporate governance.' John Armour, Hogan Lovells Professor of Law and Finance, University of Oxford and Fellow of the British Academy and European Corporate Governance Institute'A central thesis of this impressive work is that a company's members in general meeting, as well as its board of directors, are agents of the company, and as such are subject to fiduciary obligations. This book will be valuable to those who research and advise on not only company law, corporate governance and Asian jurisdictions, but also equity and common law more generally.' Robert Walker, Lord Walker of Gestingthorpe, former Justice of the United Kingdom Supreme Court and Non-Permanent Judge, Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal'This book makes a major contribution to contemporary debate about the role of shareholders (both institutional and controlling shareholders) and to comparative corporate governance generally. It reconceptualises shareholders and advances the 'provocative thesis' that, in common law Asia, shareholders should be subject to fiduciary duties. The book will be of interest to corporate law scholars and practitioners, and to anyone seeking to understand the growing legal and economic significance of East Asia.' Jennifer Hill, University of Sydney'The argument is multitextured and tightly knit. Along the way, Lim queries central assumptions that have underpinned company law in common law jurisdictions … Lim's study is pioneering as the first work that critically examines the concept of the company interest, including the idea of imposing fiduciary duties on controlling shareholders, in common law Asia … The book bristles with ideas that will have application in other common law jurisdictions not just those in Asia. The book is a delight to read. I unreservedly recommend it.' Anselmo Reyes, Modern Law Review'In his elegant study, Professor Lim points to important contemporary differences in the legal culture of businesses and their regulation between the Asian common law jurisdictions on the one hand and the United Kingdom (UK) on the other … Professor Lim's excellent study also points to important contemporary differences in the legal culture of businesses between the Asian common law jurisdictions … Overall, this is a learned, innovative, and well-written study that should be invaluable for many scholars, including in particular all those working on corporate law issues, and comparative law scholars more generally.' Michael Palmer, Journal of Comparative Law'In his elegant study, Professor Lim points to important contemporary differences in the legal culture of businesses and their regulation between the Asian common law jurisdictions on the one hand and the United Kingdom (UK) on the other … Professor Lim's excellent study also points to important contemporary differences in the legal culture of businesses between the Asian common law jurisdictions … Overall, this is a learned, innovative, and well-written study that should be invaluable for many scholars, including in particular all those working on corporate law issues, and comparative law scholars more generally.'

Cambridge University Press Creating Corporate Sustainability
Book SynopsisThis compelling volume considers three significant modern developments: the ever-changing role of women in society; a significant and growing dissatisfaction with current dominant understandings of corporate governance, corporate law and corporate theory; and the increasing concern to establish sustainable business models globally. A range of female scholars from across the globe and from different disciplines interconnect these ideas in this unique collection of new and thought-provoking essays. Readers are led through a carefully planned enquiry focussing initially on female activism and the corporation, secondly on liberal attempts to include women in business leadership and, finally, on critiquing the modern focus on women as a ''fix'' for ethical and unsustainable business practises which currently dominates the corporate world. This collection presents a fresh perspective on what changes are needed to create the sustainable corporation and the potential role of women as influencers or as agents for these changes.Trade Review'Most importantly, we need to understand the forces that keep business on the unsustainable track it is on now. This volume offers important insights into these issues, to the (mainly insufficient) initiatives to realize the potential of women as agents for creating corporate sustainability, and crucial reflections on possible ways forward. As such, the volume is an invaluable contribution to the discussion we must have now: how to achieve the fundamental transition to a sustainable, circular, and just economy. We cannot afford not to have girls and women as partners in sustainable development, resource efficiency and circular economy - in painting the way for the future of our planet.'

Cambridge University Press Ruling before the Law
Book SynopsisHow do legal systems actually operate outside of Western European or North American liberal democracies? To understand law and legal institutions globally, we must go beyond asking if countries comply with idealized, yet under-theorized, rule of law principles to determine how they work in practice. Examining legal regimes across different areas of criminal and civil law in both urban and rural China and Indonesia during distinct periods from 1949 to the present, William Hurst offers a new way of understanding how cases are adjudicated (and with what implications) across authoritarian, developing, post-colonial, and newly democratizing settings. This is the first systematic comparative study of the world''s largest Communist and majority-Muslim nations, and the most comprehensive scholarly work in many years on the micro-level workings of either the Chinese or Indonesian legal system at the grassroots, based on a decade of research and extensive fieldwork in multiple Indonesian and Chinese provinces.Trade Review'No one but Hurst could have written this book. His close study of variation across and within two giant countries generates theoretical insights that go well beyond China and Indonesia, though scholars of each country will also profit. A monumental achievement and a major advance in socio-legal studies.' Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago Law School'Ruling Before the Law brings a fresh and stimulating perspective to the study of legal systems. The author rejects the dominant Rule of Law framework, in which China is understood as either having or not having the Rule of Law, or as somewhere along a Rule of Law continuum. Instead, he uses a political science perspective to posit a different way to understand the relevant characteristics of a legal regime, allowing us to understand better how and in what specific respects national legal systems either resemble or differ from each other.'

Cambridge University Press Ending Overcriminalization and Mass Incarceration
Book SynopsisMass incarceration is an overwhelming problem and reforms are often difficult, leading to confusion about what to do and where to start. Ending Overcriminalization and Mass Incarceration: Hope from Civil Society introduces the key issues that need immediate attention and provides concrete direction about effective solutions systemically and relationally. In this work Anthony B. Bradley recognizes that offenders are persons with inherent dignity. Mass incarceration results from the systemic breakdown of criminal law procedure and broken communities. Using the principle of personalism, attention is drawn to those areas that directly contact the lives of offenders and determine their fate. Bradley explains how reform must be built from the person up, and once these areas are reformed our law enforcement culture will change for the better. Taking an innovative approach, Anthony B. Bradley explores what civic institutions need to do to prevent people from falling into the criminal justice sTrade Review'Anthony B. Bradley's emphasis on personalism offers an intriguing contribution to the question of criminal justice reform - he presents a path forward we ought to seriously consider.' Vincent Bacote, Director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics, Wheaton College, Illinois'Most everyone complains about overcriminalization and mass incarceration, but concrete solutions to these problems are hard to find. Anthony B. Bradley proposes several reforms in criminal justice and civil society that would help to bring about some much-needed improvements.' Douglas Husak, author of Overcriminalization '… Ending Overcriminalization and Mass Incarceration is a good introduction to the issue of mass incarceration … the book challenges readers to focus on the person affected by not just the policies but the civil society that surrounds them.'

Cambridge University Press The Transforming Power of Cultural Rights
Book SynopsisCultural rights promote cultural and scientific creativity. Transformative and empowering, they also enable the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, thereby working as atrocity prevention tools. The Transforming Power of Cultural Rights argues that this gives these rights a central role to play in promoting the full human personality and in realizing all other human rights. Looking at the work of the UN Special Rapporteurs in the field of cultural rights as well as UNESCO''s efforts, Helle Porsdam addresses the question of how a universal human rights agenda can include a dialogue that recognizes the importance of cultural diversity without sliding into cultural relativism. She argues that cultural rights offer a useful international arena and discourse in which to explain and negotiate cultural meanings when controversies arise. This places them at the center of human rights - and at the center of law and humanities.Trade Review'This book is original in its focus, current in its concerns, provocative in some of its approaches and at the same time shows very in-depth knowledge of the cultural, philosophical and legal aspects needed to understand the cultural rights and their dilemmas. Professor Helle Porsdam has written the work which we should all know in order to continue participating in the debate on cultural rights.' Mikel Mancisidor, Independent expert member of the UN Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (2013–20)'Porsdam has succeeded in adding an innovative perspective to the debate on cultural rights. Connecting the vocabularies of human rights, law and humanities, she convincingly shows that cultural rights can provide a global discourse to address issues of identity, diversity, solidarity and inclusion. She ends her book with some pertinent issues for further study, which should encourage us all to tackle these, not in isolation, but in holistic and concerted ways.' Yvonne Donders, University of Amsterdam'Exploring the interconnection between cultural rights, law and the humanities, this book is an important milestone in overcoming the paucity of serious intellectual work on cultural rights. Addressing a wide array of issues, from television to education, from museums and literature to scientific pursuit, copyright and intellectual property, Porsdam shows how vital cultural rights are for better understanding and praxis in this complicated world of ours.' Farida Shaheed, former United Nations Special Rapporteur for cultural rights, Executive Director of Shirkat Gah, Women's Resource Centre in Pakistan'An original and exciting approach for making understood the central place of cultural rights. Relying on TV shows, novels and other literary works, Porsdam, also a strong human rights analyst, convinces us that contemporary controversial issues can and should be addressed through the lens of cultural rights.'

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Handbook of U.S. Labor Law for the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisOver the last fifty years in the United States, unions have been in deep decline, while income and wealth inequality have grown. In this timely work, editors Richard Bales and Charlotte Garden - with a roster of thirty-five leading labor scholars - analyze these trends and show how they are linked. Designed to appeal to those being introduced to the field as well as experts seeking new insights, this book demonstrates how federal labor law is failing today''s workers and disempowering unions; how union jobs pay better than nonunion jobs and help to increase the wages of even nonunion workers; and how, when union jobs vanish, the wage premium also vanishes. At the same time, the book offers a range of solutions, from the radical, such as a complete overhaul of federal labor law, to the incremental, including reforms that could be undertaken by federal agencies on their own.Trade Review'Charlotte Garden and Rick Bales have brought together an impressive group of experts to provide a comprehensive look at how our labor laws could and should be strengthened to give workers more collective bargaining power. This book is a valuable contribution to the public debate around a critically important issue at a critically important time.' Lynn Rhineheart, Economic Policy Institute, and former general counsel, AFL-CIO'At a time of increasing income inequality and declining union power, this much-needed volume provides many smart and provocative ideas on how to overhaul our nation's labor laws in order to strengthen unions, increase worker power, and, most important, lift America's more than 150 million workers. In this book, a who's who of labor experts provide one thoughtful essay after another on many of the key issues that unions and workers face today.' Steven Greenhouse, long-time labor journalist and author of Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor'In a year of teacher strikes for the public good, private-sector flight attendants standing strong on behalf of locked-out federal workers, and New York state farmworkers just winning a century-long struggle for collective bargaining rights, this book is exceptionally timely and relevant. Richard Bates and Charlotte Garden have chosen an outstanding group of scholars who are refreshingly forward-looking while still being grounded in the daily reality faced by workers and unions.' Kate Bronfenbrenner, Cornell University'The Cambridge Handbook of US Labor Law for the Twenty-First Century is an important resource. It provides a range of opinion and is rich in thought-provoking ideas. It should soon be on the bookshelves of practitioners, scholars, policy makers, and activists - indeed, anyone interested in labor law and policy, worker rights and activism, unions and employers, collective bargaining, economic fairness, and democracy.'

Prof. Dr Andrea Borroni, Contemporary Labour Law Review'The Handbook of US Labor Law for the Twenty-First Century performs several valuable roles: it is a primer on the current state of the organized labor movement and on the economic, political, social, and cultural consequences of its weakness … In assembling such a large and diverse group of contributors, the Handbook can realistically claim to represent the best of what is on offer in addressing all of these crucial topics for discussion and action.'

Cambridge University Press Modelling Naturebased Solutions
Book SynopsisNature-based solutions (NBS) are essential to ensure a sustainable society and healthy ecosystem over the coming decades. However, the systems to be managed are both broad and complex, requiring an integrated understanding of both bio-physical systems, such as soils and water, and economic and social systems, such as urban development and human behaviour. This edited book joins these domains of knowledge together from an applied perspective and considers how computer science can help. It takes a strategic look at the benefits and barriers to using modelling within environmental management and planning practice. It delves further by providing an in-depth comparative review of a wide range of models from a variety of scientific disciplines of interest with examples of their use for NBS. As such, this illustrated guide is designed to help students, researchers and practitioners navigate the huge range of modelling options available and develop the common understanding to work inter-discipTable of ContentsIntroduction Neil Sang; 1.

Cambridge University Press The Shaping of EU Competition Law
Book SynopsisBased on a unique and comprehensive database, The Shaping of EU Competition Law combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to shed light on the evolution of EU competition law. It brings a new perspective to some of the most topical issues in the field including due process and the intensity of judicial review. The author''s main purpose is to examine how the institutional structure influences the substance of EU competition law provisions. He seeks to identify patterns in the behaviour of the European Commission and the EU Courts and how they interact with each other. In particular, his analysis considers how the European Commission reacts to the case law and whether, and in what instances, the EU courts defer to the analysis of the administrative authority. The analysis is supported by the database and an unprecedented array of statistics and figures free to view online.Trade Review'It is a very thoughtful and fruitful reading for those interested in theoretical studies on the doctrinal development of EU competition law. It will be of particular interest to those with advanced knowledge of EU competition case law.' Oles Andriychuk, Concurrences'In addition to being an important contribution to the understanding of EU competition law and its development, The Shaping of EU Competition Law is an excellent product of legal science. Its academic rigour is clearly visible throughout, especially in the elaboration of its methodology, research questions and limitations, the extensive discussion of its results, and the correlating agenda for future research.' Justin Lindeboom, Common Market Law Review'… The Shaping of EU Competition Law is one of the most profound works on the interplay between the institutional and the substantive dimensions of EU competition law.

Book SynopsisThe US ''war on terror'' has repeatedly violated fundamental rule of law values. When executive and legislature commit such egregious wrongs, courts represent the ultimate defense. Law''s Trials: The Performance of Legal Institutions in the US ''War on Terror'' offers the first comprehensive account of judicial performance during the sixteen years of the Bush and Obama administrations. Abel examines criminal prosecutions of alleged terrorists, courts martial of military personnel accused of law of war violations, military commission trials of ''high value detainees'', habeas corpus petitions by Guantánamo detainees, civil damage actions by victims of both the ''war on terror'' and terrorism, and civil liberties violations by government officials and Islamophobic campaigners. Law''s Trials identifies successful defenses of the rule of law through qualitative and quantitative analyses, comparing the behavior of judges within and between each category of cases and locating those actions iTrade Review'A richly detailed and important work that describes critical shifts in US counter-terrorism law and policy since 9/11. Examining such issues as military detention, torture, and religious discrimination, this book provides invaluable insights into the role of law and legal institutions in America.' Jonathan Hafetz, Seton Hall Law School'Richard L. Abel's comprehensive work on the role of the courts in post 9/11 America illuminates the perilous course traversed by the rule of law in the war on terror.

Karen J. Greenberg, author of Rogue Justice: The Making of the Security State'Law's Trials is a remarkable achievement, beginning with the near-encyclopedic coverage of all interactions between the judiciary and those accused of terrorism.

Cambridge University Press Laws Wars
Book SynopsisThe US ''war on terror'', which Bush declared and Obama continued, repeatedly violated fundamental rule of law values. Law''s Wars: The Fate of the Rule of Law in the US ''War on Terror'' is the first comprehensive account of efforts to resist and correct those violations. It focuses on responses to abuses in Abu Ghraib, efforts by Guantánamo Bay detainees to improve conditions of confinement in and win release, exposés of and efforts to end torture and electronic surveillance, and civilian casualties on the battlefield, including targeted killings. Abel deploys a law and society perspective to construct and analyze detailed narratives of the roles of victims, whistle-blowers, the media, NGOs, lawyers, doctors, politicians, military personnel, foreign governments and international organizations in defending the rule of law. Only by understanding past errors can we hope to prevent their repetition in what promises to be an endless ''war on terror''.Trade Review'Law's Wars offers an intensely detailed, richly sourced, immensely sobering account of five battles where the rule of law was at stake following 9/11. Abel's gripping legal and political narrative will stand as a monument of record to the failure of rule of law institutions, yet also to successful counter-attacks by branches of the state, civil society and market. The rule of law is not dead for Abel, nor for the US, however soiled its currency in the war on terror.' Terence Halliday, Co-Director, Center on Law and Globalization, American Bar Foundation'Packed with primary sources and told in gripping narrative, Law's Wars recounts the stories of Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo, surveillance and torture, targeted killings and extraordinary renditions, secret prisons and drone strikes, war crimes and more. However, over the whole story hovers the rule of law - what it might be, how it was damaged and how it might return. At once patient and urgent, full of overwhelming evidence and yet never losing sight of the big picture, Law's Wars bears compelling witness to the precise ways that the US failed its own best ideals and how it could have - and should have - done better.' Kim Lane Scheppele, Princeton University, New Jersey'Of all the books on the US war on terror and the law, this is the indispensable one.

Cambridge University Press Lessons from the Clean Air Act
Book SynopsisClimate and energy policy needs to be durable and flexible to be successful, but these two concepts often seem to be in opposition. One venerable institution where both ideas are apparent is the Clean Air Act, first passed by the United States Congress in 1963, with amendments in 1970 and 1990. The Act is a living institution that has been hugely successful in improving the environment. It has programs that reach across the entire economy, regulating various sectors and pollutants in different ways. This illuminating book examines these successes - and failures - with the aim to offer lessons for future climate and energy policymaking in the US at the federal and state level. It provides critical information to legislators, regulators, and scholars interested in understanding environmental policymaking.Table of Contents1. Introduction Ann E. Carlson and Dallas Burtraw; 2.

Cambridge University Press The Kenyan Tjrc
Book SynopsisBetween 1963 and 2008 Kenya experienced systematic atrocities, economic crimes, ethnic violence, and the illegal taking of land. To come to terms with these historical injustices and gross violations of human rights, the Kenyan Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) was established. From the perspective of an insider and academic expert, The Kenyan TJRC: An Outsider''s View from the Inside reveals for the first time the debates and decisions made within the Commission, including how the Kenyan Commission became the first such commission to recommend that its Chair be prosecuted for gross violations of human rights. This book is one of the few insider accounts of a truth commission, and one of the few that reflects on the limitations and opportunities of such a commission. The Kenyan TJRC provides lessons and recommendations to those interested in addressing historical injustices through a truth commission process. The full copy of the Final Report of the Kenyan TJRC, alongTrade Review'The Kenyan TJRC provides the fascinating, definitive history of the Kenyan Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission that Kenya's own government sought to suppress.

Cambridge University Press The Supreme Court
Book SynopsisThis book presents a quantitative history of constitutional law in the United States and brings together humanistic and social-scientific approaches to studying law. Using theoretical models of adjudication, Tom S. Clark presents a statistical model of law and uses the model to document the historical development of constitutional law. Using sophisticated statistical methods and historical analysis of court decisions, the author documents how social and political forces shape the path of law. Spanning the history of constitutional law since Reconstruction, this book illustrates the way in which the law evolves with American life and argues that a social-scientific approach to the history of law illuminates connections across disparate areas of the law, connected by the social context in which the Constitution has been interpreted.Trade Review'… this excellent book is positioned to significantly influence the path of future scholarship. First, it stands out as a model of how rigorous social scientific methods can enhance a detailed historical treatment of decision making on the Supreme Court. Clark also shines a spotlight on the question of how constitutional decision making may play out in an increasingly polarized political system - both external to the Court and among the justices themselves.'

Cambridge University Press The Great Property Fallacy
Book SynopsisIn this groundbreaking book, Frank K .Upham uses empirical analysis and economic theory to demonstrate how myths surrounding property law have blinded us to our own past and led us to demand that developing countries implement policies that are mistaken and impossible. Starting in the 16th century with the English enclosures and ending with the World Bank''s recent attempt to reform Cambodian land law - while moving through 19th century America, postwar Japan, and contemporary China - Upham dismantles the virtually unchallenged assertion that growth cannot occur without stable legal property rights, and shows how rapid growth can come only through the destruction of pre-existing property structures and their replacement by more productive ones. He argues persuasively for the replacement of Western myths and theoretical simplifications with nuanced approaches to growth and development that are sensitive to complexity and difference and responsive to the political and social factors esseTrade Review'Is it possible that the widely held belief in well-enforced property rights as essential for economic flourishing is not only unfounded but also potentially dangerous? Drawing on studies of five countries, Frank K. Upham mounts an impressive challenge against a seldom-questioned pillar of development theory. The Great Property Fallacy is a great read, and will cause many to rethink the relation between property law and development.' Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University, Massachusetts'In this unprecedented comparative and historical treatise, Frank K. Upham integrates case studies across time and space and provides a coherent, persuasive theory highlighting the destruction of property rights in rapidly changing societies. In a clear, concise manner, The Great Property Fallacy reveals the complexity and contingency of property rights and ushers in a new era of understanding property rights in development. It will serve as a foundational work for years to come.' Shitong Qiao, The University of Hong Kong'Frank K. Upham's book provides a critical, compelling evaluation of the conventional wisdom among many law-and-development scholars and aid-and-development agencies: namely, that formalization of private property rights, especially to land, enforced by a strong, competent, and politically independent judiciary, is an indispensable element in effective growth strategies for developing countries. Through highly illuminating case studies from both developed and developing countries (including China), Upham challenges this conventional wisdom by showing that property rights regimes are highly context-specific and idiosyncratic, and that no single model is a precondition for economic development.' Michael Trebilcock, University of Toronto'Frank Upham's book, written by a law professor and sometime World Bank consultant, is … a passionate, personal cri de coeur based on the author's own observations about the missteps committed by those who seek to advance economic development by advancing property rights.' José E. Alvarez, American Journal of International Law'… impressed … focuses instead on whether formal property rights contribute to economic development. The lesson of The Great Property Fallacy is that development is not easy to come by - nations often fail, and even those that have succeeded do not necessarily know what they did right.'

Cambridge University Press Justice and Diplomacy
Book SynopsisDiplomacy is used primarily to advance the interests of a state beyond its borders, within a set of global norms intended to assure a degree of international harmony. As a result of internal and international armed conflicts, the need to negotiate peace through an emerging system of international humanitarian and criminal law has required nations to use diplomacy to negotiate ''peace versus justice'' trade-offs. Justice and Diplomacy is the product of a research project sponsored by the Academie Diplomatique Internationale and the International Bar Association, and focuses on specific moments of collision or contradiction in diplomatic and judicial processes during the humanitarian crises in Bosnia, Rwanda, Kosovo, Darfur, and Libya. The five case studies present critical issues at the intersection of justice and diplomacy, including the role of timing, signalling, legal terminology, accountability, and compliance. Each case study focuses on a specific moment and dynamic, highlighting Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Accountability: diplomatic and judicial process; 2.

Cambridge University Press Robotica
Book SynopsisIn every era of communications technology - whether print, radio, television, or Internet - some form of government censorship follows to regulate the medium and its messages. Today we are seeing the phenomenon of ''machine speech'' enhanced by the development of sophisticated artificial intelligence. Ronald K. L. Collins and David M. Skover argue that the First Amendment must provide defenses and justifications for covering and protecting robotic expression. It is irrelevant that a robot is not human and cannot have intentions; what matters is that a human experiences robotic speech as meaningful. This is the constitutional recognition of ''intentionless free speech'' at the interface of the robot and receiver. Robotica is the first book to develop the legal arguments for these purposes. Aimed at law and communication scholars, lawyers, and free speech activists, this work explores important new problems and solutions at the interface of law and technology.Trade Review'Collins and Skover have long been among the finest minds focused on free expression in America. In this remarkable book, they now turn insightfully to an incredibly complex and timely issue associated with 'robotic expression': how should the First Amendment handle contests involving regulation of 'robot speech' as artificial intelligence grows rapidly in prominence? This book conveys their deep knowledge - and the knowledge of other noted scholars - of the history, law, and technology that inform the way we should think about this emerging field of constitutional inquiry.' John Palfrey, Head of School at Phillips Academy, Massachusetts; former Executive Director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University, Massachusetts; and author of Born Digital'Collins and Skover have produced a wonderfully readable, thorough, and insightful exploration of the intersection of technology and free speech theory, from the beginning of time well into the future.

Cambridge University Press Big Data Health Law and Bioethics
Book SynopsisWhen data from all aspects of our lives can be relevant to our health - from our habits at the grocery store and our Google searches to our FitBit data and our medical records - can we really differentiate between big data and health big data? Will health big data be used for good, such as to improve drug safety, or ill, as in insurance discrimination? Will it disrupt health care (and the health care system) as we know it? Will it be possible to protect our health privacy? What barriers will there be to collecting and utilizing health big data? What role should law play, and what ethical concerns may arise?

They are now used in politics, corporate boards, state and local public administration and even in civil society organizations.

It also studies resistance to gender quotas by political parties and supreme courts. Providing up-to-date comprehensive data on gender quotas regulations, Transforming Gender Citizenship proposes a typology of countries, from those which have embraced gender quotas as a new way to promote gender equality in all spheres of social life, to those who have consistently refused gender quotas as a tool for gender equality.

Cambridge University Press What Justices Want
Book SynopsisThe most sophisticated theories of judicial behavior depict judges as rational actors who strategically pursue multiple goals when making decisions. However, these accounts tend to disregard the possibility that judges have heterogeneous goal preferences - that is, that different judges want different things. Integrating insights from personality psychology and economics, this book proposes a new theory of judicial behavior in which judges strategically pursue multiple goals, but their personality traits determine the relative importance of those goals. This theory is tested by analyzing the behavior of justices who served on the US Supreme Court between 1946 and 2015. Using recent advances in text-based personality measurement, Hall evaluates the influence of the ''big five'' personality traits on the justices'' behavior during each stage of the Court''s decision-making process. What Justices Want shows that personality traits directly affect the justices'' choices and moderate the inTrade Review'Professor Hall has produced a fascinating study of Supreme Court justices' personality traits that opens a new window on their decision-making. Using a sophisticated machine-learning model to assess the justices' written opinions, Hall identifies specific personality types and characteristics that ring true in many instances based on our own anecdotal experiences observing the Court. By blending psychological analysis with our current knowledge of judicial attitudes, Professor Hall's work makes a uniquely interesting and creative contribution to the literature.' Stefanie A. Lindquist, Arizona State University'Using innovative data and appropriate methods to demonstrate the role personality plays in structuring judicial behavior, Hall does so much more than pose a challenge to existing accounts.

Cambridge University Press The Globalized Governance of Finance
Book SynopsisBig banks are capable of wreaking havoc on the global economy, and governments have often felt powerless to stop them. Regulators have responded by developing coordinated programs to handle banks, insurers, broker dealers, shadow banks and other businesses that can blow up in a crisis. This program began informally and undemocratically, and has developed into something much more organized, formalized and predictable, even though it has never been legally enforceable. David Zaring examines the realities of the current international financial system and concludes that in fact this is a well-ordered and functioning regulatory environment: the international financial system enjoys a substantial degree of compliance, and operates predictably and harmoniously.

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.

Cambridge University Press The Crisis behind the Eurocrisis
Book SynopsisThe Crisis behind the Euro-Crisis encourages dialogue among scholars across the social sciences in an attempt to challenge the narrative that regarded the Euro-crisis as an exceptional event. It is suggested instead that the Euro-crisis, along with the subsequent crises the EU has come to face, was merely symptomatic of deeper systemic cracks. This book''s aim is to uncover that hidden systemic crisis - the ''crisis behind the Euro-crisis''. Under this reading it emerges that what needs to be questioned is not only the allegedly purely economic character of the Euro-crisis, but, more fundamentally, its very classification as an ''emergency''. Instead, the Euro-crisis needs to be regarded as expressive of a chronic, dysfunctional, but ''normal'' condition of the EU. By following this line of analysis, this book illuminates not only the causes of contemporary turbulences in the European project, but perhaps the ''true'' nature of the EU itself.Table of ContentsIntroduction: the elephant in the room: a tale of crisis Eva Nanopoulos and Fotis Vergis; 1.
