Book SynopsisIn a global economy, multinational companies often operate in jurisdictions where governments are either unable or unwilling to uphold even the basic human rights of their citizens. The expectation that companies respect human rights in their own operations and in their business relationships is now a business reality that corporations need to respond to. Business and Human Rights: From Principles to Practice is the first comprehensive and interdisciplinary textbook that addresses these issues. It examines the regulatory framework that grounds the business and human rights debate and highlights the business and legal challenges faced by companies and stakeholders in improving respect for human rights, exploring such topics as: the regulatory framework that grounds the business and human rights debate challenges faced by companies and stakeholders in improving human rights iTrade Review"An important contribution to a vital subject, this excellent primer on business and human rights offers valuable insight for both current and future practitioners. Recognizing the challenges and preparing effectively are vital to drive responsible and sustainable business." Paul Polman – Chief Executive Officer, Unilever "Baumann-Pauly and Nolan have written an important and ambitious book, tackling a topic that remains increasingly urgent and still understudied: how to integrate human rights concerns into global business. The editors skillfully examine the complex history of this topic and sketch out a number of realistic strategies that stakeholders can use to bring human rights issues more forcefully into the corporate environment. The book will be a useful tool for educating both future and current business leaders." Debora Spar - President, Barnard College, Columbia University, New York, USA.

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.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the application of concepts of fiduciary duty or public trust in responding to the policy and governance challenges posed by policy problems that extend over multiple terms of government or even, as in the case of climate change, human generations. The volume brings together a range of perspectives including leading international thinkers on questions of fiduciary duty and public trust, Australia''s most prominent judicial advocate for the application of fiduciary duty, top law scholars from several major universities, expert commentary from an influential climate policy think-tank and the views of long-serving highly respected past and present parliamentarians. The book presents a detailed examination of the nature and extent of fiduciary duty, looking at the example of Australia and having regard to developments in comparable jurisdictions. It identifies principles that could improve the accountability of political actors for their responses to major problems thaTrade Review'These stimulating essays confront the incapacity of our democratic and international institutions to meet the challenge of Carbon emissions. The authors canvass the possibility of refining and developing existing legal concepts, including the public trust doctrine, the fiduciary duty, integrity regimes and sovereign trust obligations, so as to breathe life into our institutions and equip them to meet that challenge.'

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

Book SynopsisTaking a critical attitude of dissatisfaction towards rights, the central premise of this book is that rights are technologies of governmentality. They are a regulating discourse that is itself managed through governing tactics and techniques – hence governing (through) rights. Part I examines the 'problem of government' (through) rights. The opening chapter describes governmentality as a methodology that is then used to interrogate the relationship between rights and governance in three contexts: the international, regional and local. How rights regulate certain identities and conceptions of what is good governance is examined through the case study of non-state actors, specifically the NGO, in the international setting; through a case study of rights agencies, and the role of experts, indicators and the rights-based approach in the European Union or regional setting; and, in terms of the local, the challenge that the blossoming language of responsibility and community poses to rights in the name of less government (Big Society) is problematised. In Part II, on resisting government (through) rights, the book also asks what counter-conducts are possible using rights language (questioning rioting as resistance), and whether counter-conduct can be read as an ethos of the political, rights-bearing subject and as a new ethical right. Thus, the book bridges a divide between critical theory (ie Foucauldian understandings of power as governmentality) and human rights law.Table of ContentsPart I: Government (Through) Rights 1. Introduction 2. Governing (Through) Agencies: The EU and Rights in EUrope 3. Governing (Through) Non-Governmental Actors: The Global Human Rights Architecture and the International NGO Part II: Resisting Government (Through) Rights 4. Resisting Rights with Responsibility 5. Counter-Conduct as Right and as Ethics 6. Conclusion: A Permanent State of Dissatisfaction

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.

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.

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. It significantly advances the scholarship and adds an enormous amount to the richness of our thinking about environmental courts. -- Emma Lees * Journal Of Environmental Law *Table of Contents1.

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.

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.
