    Book SynopsisPublic choice theory has become an increasingly significant aspect of public law scholarship. A more comprehensive knowledge of public institutions and their activities can illuminate our understanding of how legal rules shape the behavior of these institutions. This volume gathers together key papers highlighting the fundamental issues in the evolution of this subject. Besides providing an appreciation of the institutional complexity and potential weak points of democracies, public choice theory promises to show how political structures and processes shape outcomes for better or for worse. It thereby aids understanding and improvements to institutional design. Much of that design is expressed in the form of law, so the subject is of particular importance to legal scholars. This authoritative selection of articles provides a firm foundation to this important area of study.Trade Review'Dan Farber has assembled a diverse and challenging set of readings that lay out the grounds of agreement and disagreement in theories of public choice and law. This collection will be valuable to students and others seeking an introduction to this difficult and contentious subject.' -- John Ferejohn, Stanford University and New York University, USTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Introduction Daniel A.

  • The Regulation of Sport in the European Union

    Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Regulation of Sport in the European Union

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe purpose of this book is to examine, from an EU perspective, the numerous developments which have taken place in the regulation of sporting activity in the last decade.Uniquely, in addressing these developments, the book adopts an inter-disciplinary approach, involving law, economics and sociology. The chapters place the regulation of sport in the context of the EU regulatory structure which hitherto has emerged in a piece-meal fashion and thus warrants a more holistic approach. The chapters bring together several key themes which arise from the question of whether sport is special? This addresses a growing argument that sporting activity displays unique properties which require a distinct form of regulation that existing competition or free movement rules cannot provide. The book is divided into three parts which reflect the current policy, legislative and judicial discourses that exists in the regulation of sport.The Regulation of Sport in the European Union provides both an academic and practical review of EU law and policy as applied to sport, and as such, this comprehensive overview will be of great interest to EU law academics, economists and political scientists. It will also appeal to legal practitioners and to those with an interest in regulatory processes in the EU.Trade Review'Globalization not only means fans watching distant contests and leagues exporting their products elsewhere; it also means the ability of knowledgeable academics and policy-oriented fans to learn about how others confront similar challenges. North Americans who realize on reflection that the way we do things is not necessarily "natural" or "the only way" will enjoy and profit from the insightful comparative essays in this book. The so-called "European Model of Sport" is quite different than our own. There are significant parallels between the European effort to distinguish sport and commerce and our own efforts in regard to big-time collegiate sports. The unusual (for North American fans of typical sports leagues) issues with regard to auto racing are quite instructive. A truly horizon-expanding work.' -- Stephen F.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSelf-Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender examines the impact of legislation premised upon the principle of self-declaration' of legal gender status. Existing doctrinal and comparative analyses have tended to come out strongly in favour of, or against, self-declaration. This book offers a socio-legal alternative which focuses on how self-declaration is experienced, on an embodied level, by trans and gender diverse people. It presents research conducted in Denmark, which became the first European state to adopt self-declaration in June 2014. By analysing Danish law through a Foucauldian framework which brings together socio-, feminist, and trans legal scholarship on embodiment and jurisdiction, the book offers the first empirically based and theoretically informed analysis of self-declaration. It draws upon legal consciousness, affect theory, vulnerability, and governmentality literatures to argue that the jurisdictional boundaries which existed between law Trade Review"Self-Declaration cuts through frequent misunderstandings around ‘gender ‘self-ID’’. It gets behind the headlines, reflecting upon what experiences of the categories of sex and gender mean for law. Dietz's concept of ‘legal embodiment’ explores how bodies become sites of regulation. Based on original research in Denmark, the book brings the voices of those seeking – and resisting – gender recognition into sharp focus." Sally Hines, Department of Sociological Studies, The University of Sheffield, UK"Understanding the juridical situation of trans people in Denmark and worldwide has never been more urgent. Self-declaration makes an important contribution to this area. Its theoretical scope – which draws upon feminist theory, affect theory, and studies of governmentality – constitutes a novel intervention into discussions of trans identities and justice. This book will be invaluable to researchers, stakeholders, and the public." Mons Bissenbakker, Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark"Dietz gives us a timely investigation of the self-declaration model for gender recognition. His socio-legal study provides a fresh perspective on the exercise of medical and legal power, and how trans people adapt to, resist or reshape this configuration. Sophisticated, but accessible, radical, but pragmatic, Self-Declaration will be an essential resource for all concerned with the future of gender." John Harrington, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University, UK"In Self-Declaration, Dietz neither romanticizes the fact of legal recognition nor forgets the continued power of institutions like the state and the hospital. The result is a refreshing, sophisticated integration of transgender studies, legal studies, and feminist theories that is a must-read for anyone trying to understand what changes in the legal regulation of gender will mean in practice."

  • Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Injustice

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn the era of information and communication, issues of misinformation and miscommunication are more pressing than ever. Epistemic injustice - one of the most important and ground-breaking subjects to have emerged in philosophy in recent years - refers to those forms of unfair treatment that relate to issues of knowledge, understanding, and participation in communicative practices.The Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Injustice is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems and debates in this exciting subject. The first collection of its kind, it comprises over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors, divided into five parts: Core Concepts Liberatory Epistemologies and Axes of Oppression Schools of Thought and Subfields within Epistemology Socio-political, Ethical, and Psychological Dimensions of Knowing Case Studies of Epistemic Injustice. As well as fundamTrade Review'…someone may not know where to begin since the discussion on epistemic injustice has grown so fast since Miranda Fricker's book burst onto the scene. But now, with the publication of the excellent, well-written, and beautifully compiled Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Injustice, there is a book that discusses the principal themes of epistemic injustice, highlights numerous connections to other academic literatures and contemporary debates, and opens the door to potential areas of further study that will make projects—such as identifying and resisting immigration injustices in US policy—much easier.' - Allison B. Wolf, Hypatia'… [A] comprehensive anthology on the current theories of epistemic injustice with important implications for future research. The diverse methods and topics of this text make it an excellent introduction for graduate seminars, as well as a common resource for researchers in the field. It includes contributions from most authors active in the field, with enough diversity in contributors to represent the substantive and methodological differences among them. … The Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Injustice provides a great deal of content and opportunities in a single volume.' - Amiel Bernal, Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective'This could not be a more timely and consequential book. The editors assemble an impressive cross-section of contributors actively engaged in debates about the nature of epistemic violence, injustice, and responsibility. Best of all, they turn their gaze back on philosophy itself, and they turn it outward, asking what strategies of resistance, disruption, prevention and repair make sense, given their diagnoses of the problem. This is philosophy that 'lets the world in'.' - Alison Wylie, University of Washington – Seattle, USA, and Durham University, UK'The chapters collected here are authored by an all-star cast. They ably explore the many implications of epistemic injustice across philosophical sub-fields and through timely case studies. This Handbook takes the next step in broadening and deepening our understanding of this distinctive form of harm.' - Michael Brownstein, John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY), USA'This is a timely and well-constructed volume on the state of discussions around epistemic injustice. The interdisciplinary nature of the chapters and the comprehensiveness of the coverage makes it a ‘must-read’ for anyone interested in investigations into epistemic injustice today. I, for one, sincerely thank the editors for their service in bringing together diverse authors and an expansive range of topics for this grand and successful book.' - Kristie Dotson, Michigan State University, USATable of ContentsIntroduction Ian James Kidd, José Medina, and Gaile Pohlhaus, Jr. Part 1: Core Concepts1.
