Oxford University Press International Law and the Use of Force
Book SynopsisThis book explores the large and controversial subject of the use of force in international law. It examines not only the use of force by states but also the role of the UN in peacekeeping and enforcement action, and the increasing role of regional organizations in the maintenance of international peace and security.The UN Charter framework is under challenge. Russia''s invasion of Georgia and intervention in Ukraine, the USA''s military operations in Syria, and Saudi Arabia''s campaign to restore the government of Yemen by force all raise questions about the law on intervention. The ''war on terror'' that began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the USA has not been won. It has spread far beyond Afghanistan: it has led to targeted killings in Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen, and to intervention against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Is there an expanding right of self-defence against non-state actors? Is the use of force effective? The development of nuclear weapons by North Korea has reigniteTrade ReviewReview from previous edition The detailed arguments and broad conclusions draw[n] stand fair and square. * Royal United Services Institute Journal *... the book's appearance at this critical moment for the law regulating the use of force is most welcome, especially for students ... a helpful reference. * Mary Ellen O'Connell, The American Journal of International Law *Comprehensive, easy to read, up-to-date, and informed. * Ilias Bantekas *This book provides students of international law and international relations with a highly accessible, thoroughly expert analysis of the rules governing when states may resort to military force.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Governance by Numbers: The Making of a Legal Model of Allegiance
Book SynopsisThe West's cherished dream of social harmony by numbers is today disrupting all our familiar legal frameworks - the state, democracy and law itself. Its scientistic vision shaped both Taylorism and Soviet Planning, and today, with 'globalisation', it is flourishing in the form of governance by numbers. Shunning the goal of governing by just laws, and empowered by the information and communication technologies, governance champions a new normative ideal of attaining measurable objectives. Programmes supplant legislation, and governance displaces government. However, management by objectives revives forms of law typical of economic vassalage. When a person is no longer protected by a law applying equally to all, the only solution is to pledge allegiance to someone stronger than oneself. Rule by law had already secured the principle of impersonal power, but in taking this principle to extremes, governance by numbers has paradoxically spawned a world ruled by ties of allegiance.Trade Review[T]he volume is an impressive tour de force which engages many disciplines in order to explain the main tenets of the model of governance by numbers. Its contribution to constitutional studies is remarkable as it links the rise of governance to a pervasive model of organization of many social and legal institutions. -- Marco Goldoni, Glasgow University * International Journal of Constitutional Law *[A] highly readable if intellectually challenging effort to pin down the effects on law of the move to 'governance through numbers'. -- David Nelken, Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London * Journal of Law and Society *Table of ContentsPart One: From Ruling by Law to Governance by Numbers 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Constitutional Rights and Constitutional Design: Moral and Empirical Reasoning in Judicial Review
Book SynopsisThe decisions courts make in constitutional rights cases pervade our political life and touch on our most basic interests and values. The spread of judicial review of legislation around the world means that courts are increasingly called on to settle matters of moral and political controversy, including assisted suicide, data privacy, anti-terrorism measures, marriage, and abortion. But doubts regarding the institutional capacities of courts for deciding such questions are growing. Judges now regularly review social science research to assess whether a law will effectively achieve its aim, and at what cost to other interests. They cite studies and statistical information from psychology, sociology, medicine, and other disciplines in which they are rarely trained. This empirical reasoning proceeds alongside open-ended moral reasoning, with judges employing terms such as equality, liberty, and autonomy, then determining what these require in concrete circumstances. This book shows that courts were not designed for this kind of moral and empirical reasoning. It argues that in comparison to legislatures, the institutional capacities of courts are deficient. Legislatures are better equipped than courts for deliberating and decision-making in regard to the kinds of factual and moral issues that arise in constitutional rights cases. The book concludes by considering the implications of comparative institutional capacity for constitutional design. Is a system of judicial review of legislation something that constitutional framers should choose to adopt? If so, in what form? For countries with systems of judicial review, practical proposals are made to remedy deficiencies in the institutional capacities of courts.Table of Contents1. Introduction I.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Environmental Courts and Tribunals: Powers, Integrity and the Search for Legitimacy
Book SynopsisThe global phenomenon of the establishment of specialist courts is one of the most important recent developments in environmental law. Although they are generally seen as a much needed innovation, they do pose challenges, particularly around questions of legitimacy. This important book tackles these questions directly, looking specifically at the courts in the common law world. It argues that to fully understand the nature of the adjudication of these courts, a bottom-up approach must be taken: ie the question before the court is determinative. Despite its theoretical focus, the book will also provide invaluable insights to practitioners engaging with these new courts for the first time. An innovative study on a seismic change in how environmental law is adjudicated.Trade ReviewThe book is well written, dense with ideas and filled with detail … it will repay reading many times over. -- David Kirkpatrick, Chief Environment Court Judge * Resource Management Journal *This book is an excellent and stimulating way to prompt thinking about a big subject that will be very much a live issue in the coming years. -- Colin T Reid, University of Dundee * Scottish Planning and Environmental Law *Warnock’s work makes an important and convincing contribution to our understanding of environmental adjudication.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Welfare Economics and Second-Best Theory: A
Book SynopsisThis book examines the implications of The General Theory of Second Best for analyzing the economic efficiency of non-government conduct or government policies in an economically efficient way. It develops and legitimates an economically efficient economic-efficiency-analysis protocol with three unique characteristics: First, the protocol focuses separately on each of a wide variety of categories of economic inefficiency, many of which conventional analyses ignore. Second, it analyzes the impact of conduct or policies on each of these categories of economic inefficiency, primarily by predicting the respective conduct’s/policy’s impact on the distortion that the economy’s various Pareto imperfections generate in the profits yielded by the resource allocations associated with the individual categories of economic inefficiency—i.e., on the difference between their profitability and economic efficiency. And third, it is third-best—i.e., it instructs the analyst to execute a theoretical or empirical research project if and only if the economic-efficiency gains the project is expected to generate by increasing the accuracy of economic-efficiency conclusions exceed the predicted allocative cost of its execution and public financing. The book also uses the protocol to analyze the economic efficiency of specific policies so as to illustrate both how it differs from the protocols that most applied welfare economists continue to use and how its conclusions differ from those produced by standard analysis.Table of ContentsIntroduction to The General Theory of Second Best, Its Central Implications, and the Appropriate Way to Respond to It.- The Economics Profession’s Responses to The General Theory of Second Best: Descriptions and Critiques.- The Concept of “the Impact of a Choice (or Natural Event) on Economic Efficiency”.- “First-Best,” “Second-Best,” and “Third-Best” Definitions, Elaborations, and Other Economists’ Usages.- The Symbols for Various Pareto Imperfections, Private and Allocative Concepts, Categories of Resource-Uses, and Categories of Resource Allocations.- The Vocabulary and Symbols of Distortion Analysis.- Analyses of Various Step-Wise Monopoly Distortions.- The Various Non-Monopoly Step-Wise Private-Benefit, Private-Cost, and Profit Distortions.- Some Negative and Positive Implications of the TBLE Distortion-Analysis Protocol for Economic-Efficiency Prediction/Post-Diction.- The Approach That Would Be TBLE for a Government to Take to Economic-Efficiency Prediction/Post-diction—the Rest of the Story.- Conclusion.

De Gruyter Handbook of Energy Law in the Low-Carbon
Book SynopsisThe low-carbon transition is ongoing everywhere. This Handbook, written by a group of senior and junior scholars from six continents and nineteen countries, explores the legal pathways of decarbonisation in the energy sector. What emerges is a composite picture. There are many roadblocks, but also a lot of legal innovation. The volume distils the legal knowledge which should help move forward the transition. Questions addressed include the differences between the decarbonization strategies of developed and developing countries, the pace of the transition, the management of multi-level governance systems, the pros and cons of different policy instruments, the planning of low-carbon infrastructures, the roles and meanings of energy justice. The Handbook can be drawn upon by legal scholars to compare decarbonisation pathways in several jurisdictions. Non-legal scholars can find information to be included in transition theories and decarbonization scenarios. Policymakers can discover contextual factors that should be taken into account when deciding how to support the transition.

Springer Automatisierung und Entkollektivierung betrieblicher Arbeitsorganisation: Herausforderungen einer digitalen Arbeitswelt
Book SynopsisDavid Bomhard untersucht in diesem Buch die Veränderung der Arbeitswelt durch Automatisierung und Digitalisierung hin zur „Arbeitsorganisation 4.0“. Im Zentrum stehen zwei Digitalisierungs-Aspekte: Einerseits kann Automatisierung von Arbeitgeberentscheidungen den Arbeitnehmer zum Objekt einer „Maschinenherrschaft“ machen. Andererseits wird die Arbeitsorganisation instabiler und fragmentarischer, was die Kollektive des kollektiven Arbeitsrechts bedroht, vor allem aber den Betrieb als Grundeinheit der Betriebsverfassung. Der digitale Wandel kann ohne eine wechselseitige Berücksichtigung technischer und rechtliche Aspekte nicht verstanden werden. Der Autor sucht diese Synthese.Table of ContentsComputergesteuerte Organisation von Beschäftigten.- Automatisierung von Arbeitgeber-Entscheidungen.- Diskriminierung durch Algorithmen.- Zukunft des BetrVG.- Potentielle Ursachen betrieblicher Entkollektivierung.

Johns Hopkins University Press Felix Frankfurter
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1960. Felix Frankfurter, a controversial figure in American judicial history, completed more than twenty-one years of service on the Supreme Court. This book is the first extended treatment of his political performance as a justice. It portrays the influence that he, both as teacher and jurist, exerted in the growth of public law over fifty years. He has exerted his influence not only through his writing but also through his personal acquaintance with many important persons in and out of government service. Beyond examining the career of one man, Thomas opens up a wider window on the history of legal thought. The main value of the book, though, lies in its presentation of the philosophy of one leading twentieth-century educator and jurist.Table of ContentsPrefacePart I: From Ivory Tower to Marble HallsChapter 1.

Springer Zur Legitimität der Familienstiftung
Book SynopsisDie Arbeit untersucht die Legitimität der Familienstiftung als Instrument zur generationenübergreifenden Vermögensweitergabe. Legitimität wird dabei verstanden als über die reine formelle Legalität hinausgehende Übereinstimmung mit den Werten und Prinzipien der Gesellschaft, die zu einer Rechtfertigung und Akzeptanz des Instituts im bestehenden System führt. Es handelt sich um eine breitangelegte Untersuchung der Frage, ob es die Familienstiftung in ihrer aktuellen Form in unserer heutigen Rechts- und Gesellschaftsordnung geben darf. Dafür wird die Familienstiftung von ihren Anfängen bis zu ihrer heutigen Ausgestaltung beleuchten und dabei auf immer wiederkehrende Kritikpunkte eingegangen. Auf Basis dieser Untersuchung werden am Ende der Arbeit Reformvorschläge für eine zukünftige legitimere Ausgestaltung der Familienstiftung gemacht.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Begriff der Familienstiftung.- Rechtshistorischer Problemaufriss.- Legitimität der Familienstiftung in ihrer aktuellen rechtlichen Ausgestaltung.- Überlegungen de lege ferenda und Fazit.

Springer Staatsähnlicher Terrorismus als Zerreißprobe für
Book SynopsisDie Arbeit befasst sich anhand des Beispiels des "Islamischen Staates" mit der völkerrechtlichen Rechtfertigung der militärischen Terrorismusbekämpfung. Hierbei grenzt sich die Untersuchung von der bestehenden Diskussion durch ihren Fokus auf autarke, staatsähnliche Akteure ab. Ausgehend von der bestehenden völkerrechtlichen Diskussion wird der Arbeit die These zugrunde gelegt, dass bisherige Rechtfertigungsansätze zum Einsatz grenzüberschreitender Gewalt gegenüber derartigen Herrschaftsgebilden scheitern müssen. Angesichts des Fehlens einer diese Problematik aufgreifenden Rechtsfortbildung wird eine Aufweichung des völkerrechtlichen Gewaltverbotes befürchtet und untersucht. Dazu geht die Arbeit einerseits der Frage nach, inwieweit terroristischen Quasi-Souveränen eigene Rechtssubjektivität zugebilligt werden kann. Andererseits wird geprüft, inwieweit sich die Entwicklung terroristischer Herrschaft auf die Rechtfertigung grenzüberschreitender Gewalt auswirken. Die Untersuchung kommt zur ernüchternden Bejahung der aufgestellten Thesen und attestiert eine Abkehr von Grundprinzipien des Völkerrechts angesichts der Machtlosigkeit des Rechts gegenüber rechtsverachtend handelnden Akteuren.Table of ContentsDie Entwicklung des „staatsähnlichen Terrorismus“ als neue Form terroristischer Gewalt.- Die bisherige Rechtfertigung militärischer Terrorismusbekämpfung als Ausgang der weiteren Untersuchung.- Einordnung des „staatsähnlichen Terrorismus“ unter anerkannte Erscheinungsformen der Völkerrechtssubjektivität.- Entwicklung partieller Völkerrechtssubjektivität?.- Neue Staatenpraxis zum „staatsähnlichen Terrorismus“.- Änderung der Bewertung angesichts des „staatsähnlichen Terrorismus“.

Dabei werden die relevanten Einzelfragen des Erbrechts, des Gesellschaftsrechts, des Konzernrechts und des Kapitalmarktrechts in systembildender Weise aufgearbeitet und in ein schlüssiges Gesamtkonzept eingeordnet.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Die Gesellschafterstellung der Erbengemeinschaft.- Die erbrechtliche Verwaltung des Gesellschaftsanteils.- Die Geltendmachung gegenüber der Gesellschaft.- Die Schranken der Rechtsausübung.- Schluss.- Literaturverzeichnis.

Book SynopsisGegenstand dieses Buches ist die Zurechnung des Wissens der Aufsichtsratsmitglieder einer deutschen AG. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine für die Praxis äußerst aktuelle Problematik, die dem komplexen und in der Rechtswissenschaft hoch umstrittenen Gebiet der Wissenszurechnung bei juristischen Personen angehört. Da die Thematik rund um das Wissen des Aufsichtsrats nicht ohne ein Grundverständnis der Wissenszurechnung im Ganzen analysiert werden kann, arbeitet der Autor zunächst die Entwicklungen dieses Rechtsinstituts auf und geht dabei insbesondere auf ungeklärte Aspekte ein, die an späterer Stelle für den Aufsichtsrat von Bedeutung sind. Hierauf folgt eine Untersuchung aller rechtlichen und tatsächlichen Entwicklungen des Aufsichtsorgans in den letzten Jahrzehnten, die für die Wissenszurechnung relevant sind und deren Berücksichtigung in der Literatur bislang ausblieb. Das auf dieser Grundlage vom Autor entwickelte Lösungsmodell bietet der Praxis ein eingängiges Instrument, welches nicht nur auf das Wissen des Aufsichtsrats anwendbar ist, sondern nahezu alle denkbaren Konstellationen der zivilrechtlichen Wissenszurechnung einbezieht.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Grundlagen der Wissenszurechnung im Zivilrecht.- Das Wissen einer juristischen Person.- Das Wissen des Aufsichtsrats und seiner Mitglieder.- Exkurs – Wissenszurechnung im Zusammenhang mit Art. 17 Abs. 1 MAR.- Resümee und Ausblick.- Literaturverzeichnis.
