Cambridge University Press International Law in a Transcivilizational World
Book SynopsisWith the resurgence of Asian nations such as China, current West-centric international law is changing in the twenty-first century. There is a pressing need to address these changes within international legal studies and overcome potential conflicts between existing and emerging powers. This structural transformation also demands a change in understanding of existing ideas and institutions. This book explores a ''trans-civilizational'' approach to international law, supplementing and modifying two other prevalent perspectives: international and transnational. By considering these three layered viewpoints, this book highlights the complex phenomena surrounding the history and development of international law. The author also considers how international law operates and functions within diverse forums such as diplomatic negotiation, international organizations, and domestic political processes. This book will appeal to international law scholars and students, as well as those interested Trade Review'… this essay's aim is to reconstruct some of the main threads of the monograph's theorisation of international law and to curve out some of the most innovative elements of this treatise, as compared to other traditional treatises dedicated to general international law.'

Cambridge University Press Incitement on Trial
Book SynopsisInternational and national armed conflicts are usually preceded by a media campaign in which public figures foment ethnic, national, racial or religious hatred, inciting listeners to acts of violence. Incitement on Trial evaluates the efforts of international criminal tribunals to hold such inciters criminally responsible. This is an unsettled area of international criminal law, and prosecutors have often struggled to demonstrate a causal connection between speech acts and subsequent crimes. This book identifies ''revenge speech'' as the type of rhetoric with the greatest effects on empathy and tolerance for violence. Wilson argues that inciting speech should be handled under the preventative doctrine of inchoate crimes, but that once international crimes have been committed, then ordering and complicity are the most appropriate forms of criminal liability. Based in extensive original research, this book proposes an evidence-based risk assessment model for monitoring political speech.Trade Review'As advocates and courts struggle to address the intuition that speech is to blame for sometimes massive harm, Richard Ashby Wilson has given the cutting edge topic social scientific richness and reflective depth. A superb achievement.' Samuel Moyn, Yale Law School'Richard Wilson's Incitement on Trial makes a powerful argument about how the law should address conduct that often plays a crucial role in fomenting crimes against humanity and genocide. It is an outstanding book.' Aryeh Neier, President Emeritus, Open Society Foundations'Professor Richard Ashby Wilson's Incitement on Trial: Prosecuting International Speech Crimes is an outstanding text on a frequently misinterpreted, if not ill-used, area of international criminal law - the crime of incitement. What distinguishes Incitement on Trial from many other texts on substantive international criminal law is that it is based in part on extensive original empirical research. … Wilson has authored a highly useful and out-of-the box treatise on the crime of incitement, and in no small measure, the mode of liability, instigation. Incitement on Trial makes an invaluable contribution to this field of international criminal law. Judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and civil party lawyers are well advised to not only consult his gem, but to take the time to study much of what is covered, including some of the rich material referenced by Wilson.' Michael Karnavas, michaelgkarnavas (www.michaelgkarnavas.net/blog)'The book is a very sharply focussed examination of the workings of the international court and its treatment of the inchoate crime of incitement. As such it would be most at home in academic law libraries with strong international criminal collections.' David Hurren, Canadian Law Library Review'Wilson provides an interesting and thorough analysis of the effects of speech acts. Moreover, to discover how far the assumptions underlying the law in this area are based in fact, Wilson draws on his own empirical studies, his statistical database of ICTY [International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia] experts, and original research on the effects of hate speech …' Wibke K. Timmermann, Journal of International Criminal Justice'Wilson's book is pioneering in its ambitious goal of offering concrete suggestions regarding how different types of knowledge can inform the legal doctrine of international criminal law, enhancing the law's ability to offer an effective regulatory response to inciting speech.'

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.' Etienne Farnoux, Revue Critique de Droit International PrivéTable of ContentsPart I. The Awaking of the Social and its Transformation in England, France and Germany; Part II.

Cambridge University Press The Nature of International Law
Book SynopsisJurisprudence has up until recently largely neglected international law as a subject of philosophizing. The Nature of International Law tries to offset against this deficiency by providing a comprehensive explanatory account of international law. It does so within an analytical tradition, albeit within the one which departs from the nowadays dominant method of the metaphysically-driven conceptual analysis. Instead, it adopts the prototype theory of concepts, which is directed towards determining typical features constitutive of the nature of international law. The book''s central finding is that those features are: normativity, institutionalization, coercive guaranteeing, and justice-aptness. Since typical features are context sensitive, their specificities at the international level are further elucidated. The book, finally, challenges the often raised claim that fragmentation is international law''s unique feature by demonstrating that international institutional actors, particularly adjudicative ones, largely perceive themselves as officials of a unified legal order.Trade Review'Legal philosophers have too often ignored international law as irrelevant, or because it is an embarrassment to their theories. In his innovate new book, The Nature of International Law, Miodrag Jovanović properly brings international law back to the center of jurisprudential inquiry. As important, Jovanović offers an important challenge to, and alternative to, conceptual analysis, in his prototype theory.' Brian H. Bix, Frederick W.

Cambridge University Press Selection and Decision in Judicial Process around the World
Book SynopsisThis book empirically explores whether and under what conditions the judicial process is efficient. Three specific issues are addressed: first, disputants self-select into litigation. Do they tend to bring cases with merit? Second, filed cases differ in their social import. Do courts select more important cases to devote more resource to? Third, courts establish precedents, affect resource allocation in the cases at hand, and influence future behaviours of transacting parties. Do courts, like Judge Posner asserts, tend to make decisions that enhance allocative efficiency and reduce transaction costs? Positive answers to the above questions attest to the efficiency of the judicial process. What drive efficient or inefficient outcomes are the selections and decisions by litigants, litigators, and judges. Their earlier selections and decisions affect later ones. Eleven chapters in this book, authored by leading empirical legal scholars in the world, deal with these issues in the US, Europe, and Asia.Table of ContentsIntroduction Yun-chien Chang; 1.

Cambridge University Press Constitutional Transition and the Travail of Judges
Book SynopsisThis book looks at the history of the courts in South Korea from 1945 to the contemporary period. It sets forth the evolution of the judicial process and jurisprudence in the context of the nation''s political and constitutional transitions. The focus is on constitutional authoritarianism in the 1970s under President Park Chung Hee, when judges faced a positivist crisis as their capacity to protect individual rights and restrain the government was impaired by the constitutional language. Caught between the contending duties of implementing the law and pursuing justice, the judges adhered to formal legal rationality and preserved the fundamental constitutional order, which eventually proved essential in the nation''s democratization in the late 1980s. Addressing both democratic and authoritarian rule of law, this volume prompts fresh debate on judicial restraint and engagement in comparative perspectives.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. The making of the constitution and the courts, 1945–1962; 2. Jurisprudential evolution, 1962–1972; 3. The Yusin era, 1972–1980 (1): the laws; 4. The Yusin era, 1972–1980 (2): the courts; 5.

Cambridge University Press Experiments in International Adjudication
Book SynopsisThe history of international adjudication is all too often presented as a triumphalist narrative of normative and institutional progress that casts aside its uncomfortable memories, its darker legacies and its historical failures. In this narrative, the bulk of ''trials'' and ''errors'' is left in the dark, confined to oblivion or left for erudition to recall as a curiosity. Written by an interdisciplinary group of lawyers, historians and social scientists, this volume relies on the rich and largely unexplored archive of institutional and legal experimentation since the late nineteenth century to shed new light on the history of international adjudication. It combines contextual accounts of failed, or aborted, as well as of ''successful'' experiments to clarify our understanding of the past and present of international adjudication.Trade Review'Experiments in International Adjudication is a treasure. Recovering successful and failed efforts at international adjudication in the nineteenth and twentieth century, spanning Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, a stellar group of scholars considers why history does and does not remember or build on early efforts at international adjudication. Beyond explicating little known international adjudication experiments, we learn of the forces working for and against generalizing these experiments so as to lay the groundwork for constructing an international judiciary capable of resolving trans-border disputes and generating state responsibility and accountability to international law.' Karen J. Alter, Northwestern University and iCourts'Experiments in International Adjudication is an overdue and necessary complement to the burgeoning research on international courts and tribunals. The authors, outstanding experts, have shed light on so far unknown institutions, facets of seemingly familiar ones, and show how many of the 'experiments' failed, while others led to unforeseen results. This book fills a gap and will stimulate further investigations on the histories and functions, problems and potentials of eminently important institutions in international law and relations.' Anne Peters, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and Public International Law and Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Freie Universität Berlin and William C. Cook Global Law Professor at the University of Michigan'This collection of fascinating essays on instances and experiments in international adjudication from the last two centuries significantly thickens the narrative of the historical emergence of present-day international courts and tribunals. By delving into the rich histories of failed or unfinished experiments with arbitral and judicial dispute settlement between states, the book shows that the recent proliferation and diversification of international adjudication has deep historical roots and that the disruptive effects these variations are often perceived to have on international law as a system, may actually be crucial to its endurance.' Randall Lesaffer, Tilburg University and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven'Experiments in International Adjudication is a very welcome addition to the already large literature on international courts and tribunals. But different from most other books, this volume reveals the story of little-known experiments of international adjudication. Thereby, it enriches our understanding in a multitude of ways and makes us rethink what really works in terms of international adjudication. Written by a set of understanding scholars, this book is a little treasure trove that should be read by anyone with an interest in the history of international law.' Mikael Rask Madsen, Director of iCourts, Centre of Excellence for International Courts, University of Copenhagen'This comprehensive volume follows a chronological approach and reveals the well-co-ordinated research carried out by this interdisciplinary group of eminent scholars. It critically recalls some underresearched 'strands of the historical record that can be seen as genuine 'trials' and 'errors' in the long process of experimentation relating to international adjudication', considering their intellectual, socio-political, and international legal context, connecting past and present experiments, and offering 'fresh perspectives on this usually 'neglected', but significant discipline' … This book makes a decisive contribution to the research and understanding of the history of international adjudication.' Eduardo Jimenez Pineda, The British Yearbook of International Law'Most readers will be enriched … will have learned about a new institution, an unknown conflict or case, or about missed opportunities in dispute settlement. … they taught me a lot (e.g. about Commonwealth and Maghreb tribunals) and often made me think.'

Cambridge University Press Contributory Fault and Investor Misconduct in Investment Arbitration
Book SynopsisNo area of law is growing as fast and courting as much controversy as international investment law. Much of this controversy stems from its design, as obligations are placed on host states, but not investors. This book reveals how host states can hold investors accountable for their negligence and misconduct.Trade Review'This is a serious piece of scholarship which will be consulted, challenged and referred to in the future by academics and practitioners in the area.' Elena Blanco, Manchester Journal of International Economic Law'Dr Jarrett's book presents a deep intellectual conceptualisation of vexed issues in contributory fault and investor misconduct in investment arbitration. It sets the rules on sound foundation, clarifies the myriad of confusion, and shines a light through the difficulties that have plagued the relevant questions. Consequently, it should be of great use to a variety of actors dealing with this field.' Emmanuel Laryea, ICSID Review'Jarrett's efforts to bring clarity and consistency to this developing area of investment law should be applauded.' George von Mehren and Mark Stadnyk, Journal of World Investment and Trade'… the book offers a thought-provoking contribution to the literature on international investment law. It provides a rich, novel, and interesting study of how investor misconduct ought to factor into the analysis of State responsibility in investor-State arbitration claims. Jarrett offers rules that could conceivably form a basis for future debate and reforms, underpinned by a detailed and nuanced discussion that grapples with the structure, content and implications of such rules for investment claims.' Esmé Shirlow, European Journal of International Law'His book is not only a critique of existing doctrine and practice but also a bold proposal for reform, including concrete solutions in the form of ready-to-use rules for apportionment … It is hoped that future disputants, armed with Jarrett's proposals, will encourage tribunals to refine their approach to these matters.'

Cambridge University Press Our Democratic First Amendment
Book SynopsisThe First Amendment to the US Constitution protects free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association and assembly, and the right to petition the government. Why did the Framers protect these particular rights? What role were these rights intended to play in our democracy? And what force do they retain in today''s world? In this highly readable account, Ashutosh Bhagwat explores the answers to these questions. The first part of the book looks at the history of the First Amendment, early political conflicts over its meaning, and the lessons to be learned from those events about the nature of our system of government. The second part applies those lessons to our modern, fractious democracy as it has evolved in the age of the Internet and social media. Now as then, the key to maintaining that democracy, it turns out, is an active citizenry that fully embraces the First Amendment.Trade Review'By highlighting the First Amendment's too often neglected press, assembly, and petition clauses, Bhagwat shows how the democratic free speech tradition most closely associated with Louis Brandeis complements rather than contradicts the broadly libertarian understanding that finally emerged following the McCarthy era. Eschewing censorship, Bhagwat would turn to what Tocqueville identified as America's distinctive democratic strength - civil society institutions - to tackle our age's pathologies of information silos, Internet trolls, and fake news. Our Democratic First Amendment is at once clear-eyed and boldly free of cynicism.' Michael C. Dorf, Robert S. Stevens Professor of Law, Cornell University'Ash Bhagwat offers an original and powerful analysis of the core purposes of the First Amendment and of how those purposes should play out today. In particular, he notes that almost all of the Supreme Court's attention has focused on the freedom of speech, and that the Court has essentially written out of the First Amendment the freedom of the press, the right of assembly, the right of association, and the right to petition the government. It is only, he argues, by considering all of these rights in their relation to one another that the Court can come to a proper understanding of 'Our Democratic First Amendment'. Bhagwat then turns to the challenges of the present, including social media, the collapse of 'mainstream media', and the 'siloing' of American society. In the end, he offers suggestions for how, in the current state of affairs, we can still save our democracy.' Geoffrey R. Stone, Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law, University of Chicago'Bhagwat's eminently readable prose drives home the importance of speech, press, assembly, and petition to our current and future democratic experiment. Readers will benefit from this book's careful consideration of these rights individually and collectively, and how our use of them protects and performs sovereignty, citizenship, and democracy.' John Inazu, Sally D. Danforth Distinguished Professor of Law & Religion, Washington University, St. Louis'The First Amendment lists four specific freedoms of expression: speech, press, assembly (association), and petition, but the courts have tended to merge them all into one. This engaging book discusses each of these freedoms on its own terms, and explains for a general audience why they all matter now, more than ever. Whether you are liberal or conservative, this book will help you understand your rights as an American.' Michael W. McConnell, Richard and Frances Mallery Professor and Director of the Constitutional Law Center, Stanford University'This title is well sourced, remarkably engaging, and for students and scholars alike.' D. E. Smith, Choice'… an exceptional review of the First Amendment's principles and their interdependent purposes.

Cambridge University Press The DoubleFacing Constitution
Book SynopsisThis collection explores some of the many ways in which constitutional orders engage with, and are shaped by, their exteriors. Constitutional and legal theory often marginalize ''foreign'' elements, such as norms originating in other legal systems, the movement of individuals across borders, or the application of domestic law to foreign affairs. In The Double-Facing Constitution, these instances of boundary crossing lie at the heart of an alternative understanding of constitutions as permeable membranes, through which norms can and sometimes must travel. Constitutional orders are facing both inwards and outwards - and the outside world influences their interiors just as much as their internal orders help shape their surroundings. Different essays discuss the theoretical and historical foundations of this view (grounded in Kelsen, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau and others), and its contemporary relevance for areas as diverse as migration law, the conflict of laws, and foreign relations law.Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press The Law of the List
Book SynopsisThe spread of violent extremism, 9/11, the rise of ISIL and movement of ''foreign terrorist fighters'' are dramatically expanding the powers of the UN Security Council to govern risky cross-border flows and threats by non-state actors. New security measures and data infrastructures are being built that threaten to erode human rights and transform the world order in far-reaching ways. The Law of the List is an interdisciplinary study of global security law in motion. It follows the ISIL and Al-Qaida sanctions list, created by the UN Security Council to counter global terrorism, to different sites around the world mapping its effects as an assemblage. Drawing on interviews with Council officials, diplomats, security experts, judges, secret diplomatic cables and the author''s experiences as a lawyer representing listed people, The Law of the List shows how governing through the list is reconfiguring global security, international law and the powers of international organisations.Trade Review'The Law of the List carefully traces the emergence of global security law through sites of global governance where legal and security practices are reassembled. Both theoretically and methodologically, the book will be indispensable reading for scholars and students researching contemporary security governance.'

Cambridge University Press The Politics of Court Reform
Book SynopsisIndonesia is the world''s third largest democracy and its courts are an important part of its democratic system of governance. Since the transition from authoritarian rule in 1998, a range of new specialised courts have been established from the Commercial Courts to the Constitutional Court and the Fisheries Court. In addition, constitutional and legal changes have affirmed the principle of judicial independence and accountability. The growth of Indonesia''s economy means that the courts are facing greater demands to resolve an increasing number of disputes. This volume offers an analysis of the politics of court reform through a review of judicial change and legal culture in Indonesia. A key concern is whether the reforms that have taken place have addressed the issues of the decline in professionalism and increase in corruption. This volume will be a vital resource for scholars of law, political science, law and development, and law and society.Trade Review'This volume is a major forward contribution to and commentary on the pioneering work of Dan S. Lev on the law, courts and Politics of Indonesia – an ideal path for bring comparativists up to date.' Martin Shapiro, University of California, Berkeley'Unprecedented in scope and depth, The Politics of Courts in Indonesia is a milestone in scholarly analysis of the third branch of government in Indonesia. Focusing on the array of specialist courts that have proliferated in the country over the last twenty years, it casts a critical eye on numerous aspects of the functioning – and, often, dysfunction – of the Indonesian judiciary. The contributors make a signal contribution to our understanding of the achievements and shortcomings of judicial reform, and of the place of courts in Indonesian society writ large.'

Cambridge University Press Coalitions of the Willing and International Law
Book SynopsisGlobal action and regulation is increasingly the result of the interplay between formality and informality. From the management of State conduct in international security to the coordination of national policies in climate change, international organizations work ever closer with coalitions of the willing. This book carefully describes this dynamic game, showing that it consists of transformative orchestration strategies and quasi-formalization processes. On the institutional plane, coalitions of the willing turn into ''durable efforts'', while international organizations perform as ''platforms'' within broader regime complexes. On the normative level, informal standards are framed in legal language and bestowed with the force of law, while legal norms are attached to multilayered schemes of implementation, characterized by pragmatic correspondences, persuasion tactics, and conceptual framing. Understanding how this interplay alters the notion of ''international legality'' is crucial for the necessary recalibrations of the political ideals that will inform the rule of law in global governance.Trade Review'It has by now become clear that the world's two major powers - a declining hegemon as well as an emerging one - are poised to shun multilateral international organizations and instead are experimenting with various types of 'coalitions of the willing'. Rodiles offers a comprehensive theoretical and historical analysis of this strategy and demonstrates its benefits for those powers who lead them, such as the US and China, as well as its costs for all the rest and for the ideals of inclusive multilateralism and the rule of law. His sensitive and convincing account is crucial for understanding the contemporary trajectories of international law and politics.' Eyal Benvenisti, University of CambridgeTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press The Rights of Refugees Under International Law
Book SynopsisDo states have a duty to assimilate refugees to their own citizens? Are refugees entitled to freedom of movement, to be allowed to work, to have access to public welfare programs, or to be reunited with family members? Indeed, is there even a duty to admit refugees at all? This fundamentally rewritten second edition of the award-winning treatise presents the only comprehensive analysis of the human rights of refugees set by the UN Refugee Convention and international human rights law. It follows the refugee''s journey from flight to solution, examining every rights issue both historically and by reference to the decisions of senior courts from around the world. Nor is this a purely doctrinal book: Hathaway''s incisive legal analysis is tested against and applied to hundreds of protection challenges around the world, ensuring the relevance of this book''s analysis to responding to the hard facts of refugee life on the ground.Trade ReviewPraise for the First Edition: '… painstakingly researched, cogently argued, and beautifully written … An instant classic on the topic of refugee rights.'

Cambridge University Press Proportionality in Action
Book SynopsisProportionality in Action presents an empirical and comparative exploration of the proportionality doctrine, based on detailed accounts of the application of the framework by apex courts in six jurisdictions: Germany, Canada, South Africa, Israel, Poland and India. The analysis of each country is written and contextualized by a constitutional scholar from the relevant jurisdiction. Each country analysis draws upon a large sample of case law and employs a mixed methodological approach: an expansive coding scheme allows for quantitative analysis providing comparable and quantifiable measurements, which is enriched by qualitative analysis that engages with the substance of the decisions and captures nuance, contextualizing the data and providing it with meaning. The book concludes with a comparative chapter that synthesizes some of the most interesting findings. Focusing on deviations of the practice of proportionality from theory, the authors conclude their argument in support of an inteTrade Review'It lifts the discussion on proportionality out of the theoretical plane and places in squarely in the realm of the empirical. Their contribution is in other words exceptionally important, in steering the normative debate from a spiral of theoretical debates lifting ever further from the ground, to one shaped by the reality of practice. It is in short a considerable feat of comparative empirical constitutional scholarship.' Liora Lazarus, Associate Professor in Law, University of Oxford'Originally developed by the German Constitutional Court, proportionality as a tool to examine limitations or infringements of fundamental rights is today discussed worldwide and practiced in more and more countries, albeit in different ways.

Cambridge University Press The Failure of Popular Constitution Making in Turkey
Book SynopsisThis book offers an in-depth account of the failure of popular constitution making in Turkey from 2011 to 2013, which was an anomaly in the otherwise authoritarian history of Turkish constitutional politics. The authors demonstrate that, even in unfavorable conditions, constitution making that brings together different stakeholders can potentially lead to significant improvement of constitutional regimes. Long-standing societal divides regarding cultural and religious diversity, which were evident in political parties'' negotiations, played a significant role in the failure of the process in Turkey. Most notably, the ruling AKP''s insistence on establishing a presidential system - supported by neither other political parties nor the public - destabilized the process and exacerbated distrust among the drafters. Unfavorable procedures, particularly an unrealistic deadline and the unanimity principle, prevented consensus and allowed the AKP to hijack the process.

Book SynopsisThis book aims to reach scholars and undergraduate students interested in the theme of global justice and the dynamics of international law-making and enforcement. Practicing lawyers and public officials will also appreciate its grounded studies on the challenges of applying international law in response to complex social and political problems.Trade Review'… very well researched, tightly argued, and refreshingly coherent … This volume is clearly intended for scholars and more advanced students of international law and relations and will be of most use to those who are well versed in critical legal studies …' Eric A. Heinze, H-Diplo'The chapters showcase a diverse range of topics and methodologies. Through a series of case studies, the book aims to provide a number of strategies for these actors to realise the goal of preventing impunity for breaches of international law. In doing so, the book illustrates that it is possible for civil society and international lawyers to effect positive change in State-centric international legal institutions … The question of whether human rights change within a State is 'top-down' from international institutions or 'bottom up' from a mobilized society is one that international lawyers often contemplate. This book shows that under certain circumstances, it is possible for civil society to re-describe the issue to achieve some form of international justice, and that in order to do so, international law must couple with other areas, including international politics. Ultimately, this edited collection reminds international lawyers and civil society that instead of calling for reform of international institutions, there are other more effective means of achieving global justice.'

Oxford University Press, USA Power and Legitimacy Reconciling Europe and the NationState
Book SynopsisThe implications of European integration for national democracy and constitutionalism are well known. Nevertheless, as the events of the last decade made clear, the EU''s complex system of governance has been unable to achieve a democratic or constitutional legitimacy in its own right. In Power and Legitimacy: Reconciling Europe and the Nation-State, Peter L. Lindseth traces the roots of this paradox to integration''s dependence on the postwar constitutional settlement of administrative governance on the national level. Supranational policymaking has relied on various forms of oversight from national constitutional bodies, following models that were first developed in the administrative state and then translated into the European context. These national oversight mechanisms (executive, legislative, and judicial) have over the last half-century developed to address the central disconnect in the integration process: between the need for supranational regulatory power, on the one hand, and the persistence of national constitutional legitimacy, on the other. In defining the ways European public law has sought to reconcile these two conflicting demands, Professor Lindseth lays the foundation for a better understanding of the administrative, not constitutional nature of European governance going forward.Trade Review...this book is a major contribution to the history of European integration...a major accomplishment of historical literature, well written, original and though provoking.

Book SynopsisThis classic work on consular law explains what consuls do to assist and protect co-nationals. How can they help with documents, or if a co-national is arrested or convicted on a criminal charge? This book explores how consular law developed and examines the current treaties and the varied roles of the consul.Trade ReviewIn eighteen years since Lee's Second Edition there has been a major shift in consular functions- access to and protection of nationals in detention assuming much greater importance politically as well as legally. The Third Edition well reflects this, with thorough analysis of recent cases before the International Court and with the US Supreme Court, as well as recent conventions and changes in practice since the end of the Cold War. An excellent handbook for the lawyer and for career and honorary consuls struggling with the demands of huge numbers of travellers in foreign lands. * Eileen Denza, Visiting Professor, University College London *Review from previous edition ...a work of considerable academic standing... extensively researched, and much attention has been paid to detail. It provides insight into consular activity and demonstrates the relationship between convention and customary international law. The text will serve as an invaluable reference tool to those engaged in consular activity, as well as serving the needs of those with either a developed or passing interest in what is one of the oldest forms of international activity... * Rebecca M. M. Wallace, The British Year Book of International Law 1991 *...a welcome addition to the literature on this subject which, although very important in the practical world, is all too rarely the subject of learned writing ... an important work of reference on this vital area of international law... * BC.A. Whomersley, The International and Comparative Law Quarterly, Volume 41, 1992 *...successfully touches on virtually every aspect of consular law and practice...an interesting overview of the field and a useful reference work for all whose work concerns either services to nationals abroad or commercial dealings with consular officials... * The American Journal of International Law *Table of ContentsPART I.
