Springer Nature Switzerland AG Human Rights in the Extractive Industries:
Book SynopsisThis book addresses key challenges and conflicts arising in extractive industries (mining, oil drilling) concerning the human rights of workers, their families, local communities and other stakeholders. Further, it analyses various instruments that have sought to mitigate human rights violations by defining transparency-related obligations and participation rights. These include the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), disclosure requirements, and free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). The book critically assesses these instruments, demonstrating that, in some cases, they produce unwanted effects. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of resistance to extractive industry projects as a response to human rights violations, and discusses how transparency, participation and resistance are interconnected.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Part One: Transparency.- The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) as a Human Rights Instrument: Potentials and Shortcomings.- United States Law and Conflict Minerals.- The 2017 EU Conflict Minerals Regulation: A Promising European Rite to Remove the Natural Resource Curse?.- Community Development Agreements as Tools for Local Participation in Natural Resource Projects in Africa.- Stabilization Clauses and Human Rights: The Role of Transparency Initiatives.- Improving Tax Strategy Transparency in the Extractive Industries Sector for the Advancement of Human Rights.- Part II: Participation.- The Evolving Duty to Consult and Obtain Free Prior and Informed Consent of Indigenous Peoples for Extractive Projects in the United States and Canada.- Asserting the Principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) in Sub-Saharan Africa in the Extractive Industry Sector.- The Corporate Responsibility to Respect Consultation Rights in the Americas: How the Inter-American System Can Better Promote Free, Prior, and Informed Consent.- Free, Prior, and Informed Consent in the Philippines: A Fourth World Critique.- Norm Contestation and (Non-)Compliance: The Right to Prior Consultation and FPIC in the Extractive Industries.- State-Investor Contracts and Human Rights: Taking a Critical Look at Transparency and Participation.- Disruption and Institutional Development: Corporate Standards and Practices on Responsible Mining.- Part III: Resistance.- Taking Sides in Scientific Research?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Regulation of the Voluntary Sector Freedom and
Book SynopsisHave we gone too far in enacting laws, promulgating regulations and announcing policies that threaten freedom of association, either now or in waiting' for the future?Regulation of the Voluntary Sector focuses on the legal and political environment for civil society in an era in which counter-terrorism policy and law have challenged civil society and civil liberties in a number of countries. The ways in which counter-terrorism law and policy affect civil society can and do differ dramatically by country and region.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Courts and Judges The International Library of

The articles in this volume do just that.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Governing Risks The International Library of
Book SynopsisContemporary law and government are increasingly characterized by a focus on risk. Fields such as health, psychiatry, criminal justice, vehicle safety, urban design and environmental governance all provide examples of settings in which problems are dealt with as risks. While risk has become more prominent, there have also been changes in the nature of risk techniques deployed. Whereas welfare states provided many services through socialized risk - such as social insurances covering health, employment and old age - increasing emphasis is now placed on individual risk management arrangements such as private insurance. In this environment, the positive side of risk has also been made more salient. Enterprise, innovation and risk-taking have become qualities valued, or even required, of current governance. In this volume, the most influential examinations and interpretations of this major trend have been brought together, in order to make clear the range and diversity, the spread and penetration of risk in contemporary societies.Table of ContentsContents: Series preface; Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Theoretical and Empirical Studies of Rights The
Book SynopsisThis important volume examines rights from an inter-disciplinary law and society perspective, beginning with the premise that the most basic functions of rights requires the empirical study of rights consciousness and claiming behavior. As such the volume includes articles and essays by political scientists, historians, lawyers, and sociologists which place the study of ordinary citizens'' understandings of rights, and what actions they take based on that knowledge, at the forefront of an empirical research agenda. This has important implications for law''s capacity to achieve social change and can lead to better understanding of how rights can and should operate in a social and legal system. The volume is organized around the social movements and political processes which give rise to rights, the processes by which people come to understand they enjoy a right, the decision to invoke the right either formally or informally, and the organizational and institutional constraints and opporTable of ContentsContents: Series preface; Introduction; Part I Historical and Philosophical Perspectives on Theories of Rights: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations; Of property, John Locke; Constitutional democracy: a paradoxical union of contradictory principles?, Jürgen Habermas; The model of rules, Ronald M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crime Criminal Justice and Masculinities
Book SynopsisThis volume features the leading contemporary articles that are part of, or related to, the ''new masculinities'' approach in this sphere. These comprise an impressive range of theoretical and empirical work including important cultural and ethnographic analyses. They emphasise the relationship between masculinities, the causes and patterns of most criminal offending and victimisation and the broader workings of the wider criminal justice system of policing (public and private), criminal courts, corrections and prisons. All of the material has been selected from flagship international journals and was produced by a global mix of male and female researchers with diverse disciplinary backgrounds. These scholars share the view that masculinities are plural, socially constructed, reproduced in the collective social practices of different men and embedded in institutional and occupational settings. Furthermore, masculinities are intricately linked with social struggles for power that occur Table of ContentsContents: Series preface; Introduction; Part I Theoretical Perspectives: Daubing the drudges of fury: men, violence, and the piety of the 'hegemonic masculinity' thesis, Steve Hall; Subordinating hegemonic masculinity, Tony Jefferson; On hegemonic masculinity and violence: response to Jefferson and Hall, R.W.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Drugs of Abuse The International Scene Volume I 1
Book SynopsisGlobalization and attendant modernization has increased both the supply and the demand for drugs around the world. Drug abuse is no longer the concern of only the developed world. Countries without histories of drug use, particularly developing countries, are now reporting problems of abuse because they have become transit points for international drug trafficking.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Law and Society in East Asia The Library of
Book SynopsisThe massive and complex process of change in East Asia over recent decades has brought about a transformation in the nature of law and legal institutions in the region. Whilst the process of change has to some degree mimicked western models of law and legal change, there have been significant differences in approach due to the different social foundations of East Asian societies. The more obvious of these has been the variety of ways in which rule of law ideas have been adopted in many East Asian countries where the role of the state is more dominant when compared with Western models. This volume brings together a selection of the most important writings on East Asia of researchers in recent years, and shows the broad range of questions which researchers have been addressing about the effect of law reform and legal change in societies dominated by traditional values and political forces, and at a time of massive economic change.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction: law reform and legal change in East Asia; Part I Legal Change, Law Reform and the Rule of Law: Colonial law and the genesis of the Indonesian state, Daniel S.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Obligations and Property Rights in China The
Book SynopsisThis volume concerns the rights and obligations of the individual in three critically important contexts: employment relations, family relations and the ownership of immovable property. The development of these legal institutions has helped to transform economic and social relations in contemporary China. In this volume, the articles illustrate firstly a shift away from close state control towards greater freedom for enterprises to use human and natural resources to achieve economic growth and for citizens to pursue their personal lives. More recently, the government has responded to public demands for greater security in employment, home ownership and agricultural land rights with new primary legislation, including the Employment Contract Law and Property Rights Law. Yet, as this volume also shows, the Communist Party has been reluctant to allow empowerment of the individual to threaten other public policy goals, such as the state''s ultimate control over the conditions of employment Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; The latest developments in the codification of Chinese civil law, Zhang Lihong; Making Chinese labor law work: the prospects for regulatory innovation in the People's Republic of China, Sean Cooney; Measuring progress under China's labor law: goals, processes, outcomes, Hilary K.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Citizen and the Chinese State The Library of
Book SynopsisThis volume addresses several core questions regarding the nature of law in China and its future development. In particular, these articles shed light on whether the rule of law ideal is commensurable with government based on the Chinese Communist Party. Beginning virtually from scratch, China has established a comprehensive legal system that boasts a constitution, primary and secondary legislation and plentiful regulations covering most areas of public and private life. Yet, as these articles discuss, its courts are enmeshed in Party and state hierarchies and are not empowered to directly apply constitutional principles or rights, ensuring that the law is subordinate to national public policy goals. Legal and extra-legal methods for punishing wrongdoing and resolving disputes also raise questions of due process of law. Ultimately, the question is therefore whether China''s legal system, if eschewing formalised human rights, is developing a capacity to protect fundamental human dignityTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Were Chinese rulers above the law?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Issues in Islamic Law
Book SynopsisIslamic substantive law, otherwise called branches of the law (furÅ' al-fiqh), covers the textual provisions and jurisprudential rulings relating to specific transactions under Islamic law. It is to Islamic substantive law that the rules of Islamic legal theory are applied. The relationship between Islamic legal theory and Islamic substantive law is metaphorically described by Islamic jurists as a process of 'cultivation' (istithmÄr), whereby the qualified jurist (mujtahid), as the 'cultivator', uses relevant rules of legal theory to harvest the substantive law on specific issues in form of 'fruits' (thamarÄt) from the sources. The articles in this volume engage critically with selected substantive issues in Islamic law, including family law; law of inheritance; law of financial transactions; criminal law; judicial procedure; and international law (al-siyar). These areas of substantive law have been selected due to their contemporary relevance and application in different parts of thTable of ContentsContents: Introduction.

This volume addresses the sources, methods and principles of Islamic law leading to an appreciation of the skills of independent juristic and legal reasoning necessary for deriving specific rulings from the established sources of the law. The articles engage critically with relevant traditional views to enable a diagnostic understanding of the different issues, covering both SunnÄ and ShÄ'Ä perspectives on some of the issues for comparison.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Intergenerational Justice The Library of Essays
Book SynopsisThe essays selected for this volume show how relations between past, current and future generations have become a major subject of philosophical research since the 1970s. The relations between people alive today with people who may exist in the future and people now deceased, differ from relations between contemporaries and in ways that raise new conceptual, logical and substantive questions. Among the questions addressed in this volume are: what is the status of people now deceased and people who may exist in the future? Can the latter be harmed by the actions of people alive today? What duties of justice do we have towards people with whom we can neither interact nor co-operate, and can people who are indirect victims of past injustices legitimately claim compensation? Answers to these questions are relevant in a number of policy areas, most notably in issues regarding reparations for historical injustice and responding to climate change and its consequences.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Foundations: Utilitarianism and new generations, Jan Narveson; Distributive shares, John Rawls; The non-identity problem, Derek Parfit; The intractability of the non-identity problem, David Heyd; Surviving duties and symbolic compensation, Lukas H.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Medical Humanities and Disability Studies
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewWritten lyrically and with brilliant clarity across multiple genres, this book continually invites new possibilities, “provoking to clarify.” I am aware of no other book that sustains an inquiry into the relationship between medical humanities and disability studies—much less one that uses the conjunctions and disjunctions between them to critique both disciplines. -- Martha Stoddard Holmes, Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, California State University, USASharp and on target, Stuart Murray offers readers a foray into the intersections of the medical humanities and disability studies, their lacunae, and possibilities. Murray draws on memoir and personal experience to demonstrate how an “indisciplined” approach to life writing provokes potentials for change through an appeal to “agility” in our conceptions of ill-health, disability, and disorder and their roles in medicine, care, and social theory. Compelling and compulsive in its argumentation—Medical Humanities and Disability Studies is the kind of book we need more of. We should all be so indisciplined! -- Matthew Wolf-Meyer, author of 'Unraveling: Remaking Personhood in a Neurodiverse Age' and 'The Slumbering Masses: Sleep, Medicine and American Everyday Life'Medical Humanities and Disability Studies argues against insularity and choosing sides in favour of an agile, indisciplined mode of criticism that embraces generative doubt and productive troubling. With a variety of women’s life narratives as its strong foundation, and richly affective personal vignettes as its spine, Stuart Murray’s book is packed with insights and provocations: from the agile chapter titles and paths taken to find the words and form for his work, to the manifold manifestations of difference/same in experiences of health and disability, and the “in/un/ill-disciplined” acts of drawing on the working methods of one discipline to critique the success of the other. In modelling the intellectual and creative agility found within its archive, this book offers a sensitive and compelling exploration of the fusions of life stories and critical frames and of the complex interweavings of medical humanities and disability studies. -- Stella Bolaki, Reader in American Literature and Medical Humanities and Co-Director, Centre for Health and Medical Humanities, University of Kent, UKBy turns forceful and tender, indisciplined and agile, this book embodies what it might mean to think with and between Disability Studies and Medical Humanities. Holding to the conceptual complexity and political force of lived experience, this is a vital, unsettling, beautiful book. -- Laura Salisbury, Professor of Modern Literature and Medical Humanities, University of Exeter, UKTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisNow fully updated and with up-to-the-minute guidance, this is the only book you will need to make sense of the key elements of law involved in social work with children and families in England and Wales.Accessible and jargon-free, this everyday reference explains the fundamental concepts of parental responsibility and human rights, and the provisions of private and public law, including care proceedings and adoption. This second edition incorporates recent changes including the Working Together to Safeguard Children guidance for inter-agency working, the Children and Families Act 2014 and the Crime and Courts Act 2013 as well as the latest case law. Checklists, charts and highlighted points allow for easy reference, and illustrative case scenarios put the law into context.This comprehensive and easy-to-use guide will be an invaluable resource for practising social workers, as well as trainees, students and those studying for post-qualifying awards.Trade ReviewPraise for the second edition:'This book lives up to the high standards of the first edition, updated to take account of recent court judgments and the many changes to child and family legislation in England and Wales. Lynn Davis writes authoritatively and with crystal clarity. She explains the law helpfully, with direct relevance to real-life social work practice. The book is full of useful features such as key points for practice, readable summaries of court decisions, realistic and thought-provoking case studies and handy checklists. Every child and family team should have a copy in their office.' -- Dr Jonathan Dickens, School of Social Work, University of East AngliaThis is a stunningly good piece of work. Many whose work involves the law find it a horrible dark space, and practitioners can try to make do with a working knowledge or skirt around it - leading to unsafe work and poor practice. But here is a book that is friendly in tone and spot on with guidance that makes it all 'start to make sense'. You come away from Lynn's book wishing you could meet her. She is a wise presence who makes you feel you could venture out into this alien territory and her knowledge makes it all look easier than it is. With the destruction of legal advice services, we all need this knowledge now. It is the perfect overview with practical information and case-study snippets to help the reader to emerge with a real grasp of the legal system and its day-to-day implications and application. This should be manna for social workers, and it is also a great foundation stone for all of us involved with children and families. -- James Pirrie, Solicitor, Collaborative Lawyer, Arbitrator and Mediator, Family Law in Partnership, LondonChildren law and court proceedings are changing. The role of the social worker as an expert has been re-affirmed and clear, analysed and considered evidence from social workers is essential. We judges depend on social workers' professionalism and in my view it is vital for social workers to have an understanding of the law. No-one asks them to be lawyers but they must understand what the law is, its limitations and also the tests the court applies. This book is readable, practical and clear and allows the social worker to gain the essential knowledge they need to undertake their role in the court system. -- Christopher Simmonds- District Judge of the Principal Registry of the Family Division and Commissioner of the Judicial Appointments CommissionThis is an extremely timely publication with the onset of new legislation, revised statutory safeguarding guidance and significant changes to the family justice system. Davis declares that "the time is right for a newly confident social work profession to reclaim its rightful place in the court process.". Davis's coverage of the issues is both global yet intricate in her attention to detail and references to contemporary themes. An absolute must for social workers who want to be on the 'front foot' in their practice. -- Nushra Mansuri, Professional Officer, British Association of Social WorkersPraise for the first edition:'Social work practitioners and family lawyers will benefit from reading this work and gain even more from it if they are able to have a copy close to hand while at work.' -- Journal of Social Welfare & Family LawI highly recommend this book to students, newly qualified workers, frontline practitioners and their managers. It is a valuable tool to have in one's armoury for those involved in children and families social work. -- Children and Young People NowExceptional value for money. It covers the whole range of roles and responsibilities that local authorities address, and I have no doubt this content will assist all child care social workers acting as 'agents' of the local authority to practice efficiently, effectively and above all safely. I could go on - but go and buy the book and see for yourself. -- Professional Social WorkThis is a stunningly good piece of work.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Regulating Social Housing: Governing Decline
Book SynopsisDrawing upon Foucauldian analyzes of governmentality, the authors contend that social housing must be understood according to a range of political rationalities that saturate current practice and policy. They critically address the practice of dividing social from private tenure; situating subjects such as the purpose and financing of social housing, the regulation of its providers and occupiers and its relationship to changing perceptions of private renting and owner-occupation, within the context of an argument that all housing tenures form part of an understanding of social housing. They also take up the ways in which social housing is regulated through the invocation and manipulation of obscure notions of housing ‘need’ and ‘affordability’, and finally, they consider how social housing has provided a focus for debates about sustainable communities and for concerns about anti-social behaviour. Regulating Social Housing provides a rich and insightful analysis that will be of value to legal scholars, criminologists and other social scientists with interests in housing, urban studies and contemporary forms of regulation.Trade Review"This important work epitomises the strengths of soci-legal research. It moves beyond a law-in-context approach, drawing on social theory to inform and elaborate upon interpretations of statute and case law and their implications for social housing." - Helen Carr, Kent Law School, University of Kent "The real strength of the book lies in the application of Cowan and McDermont's theoretical analysis to their chosen topics... Regulating Social Housing is admirably ambitious in its scope and will repay close reading by anyone who wants to further their understanding of current housing policies, regulation theory, or key arguments about the construction of social housing." - Sarah Blandy, Housing Studies 22:4 (July 2007) "The success of the book is in drawing out a number of themes through subject-specific chapters... There is much here that housing academics and the wider community of socio-legal scholars will find of value, and it is the sort of book that readers will find themselves referring back to, time and again." - Emma Laurie, Legal Studies Vol. 27 No. 2 (July 2007)Table of ContentsOn Social Housing, Decline, Regulation and Government.

[Baker] argues that the hype about medical malpractice suits is 'urban legend mixed with the occasional true story, supported by selective references to academic studies.'...

University of Toronto Press Sexual Abuse and the Rights of Children
Book SynopsisThe sexual abuse of children is an area of increasing concern to social services agencies, lawmakers, and the general public. Recent reforms of the legislation in this area have been influenced by the emerging field of children’s rights. Terrence Sullivan takes a critical look at the reforms and raises provocative questions about who is empowered by developments and who is not.The Canadian constitution potentially offers an important vehicle in advancing individuals rights. Sullivan reviews the emergence of child abuse and child sexual abuse as a ‘new’ object of social inquiry and regulation within the context of childhood sexuality, which has historically been subject to extensive regulation in the hand of professionals. He explores the rise of child sexual vulnerability on the public agenda, and tracks the role and influence of specialized professional knowledge in stimulating and steering legislative reform.Sullivan concludes that court decision

University of Toronto Press The Hateful and the Obscene
Book SynopsisIn a series of landmark decisions since 1990, Canadian courts have shaped a distinctive approach to the regulation of obscenity, hate literature, and child pornography. Missing from the debate, however, has been any attempt to determine whether the legal status quo can be justified by reference to a framework of moral/political principles. The Hateful and the Obscene is intended to fill that gap.L.W. Sumner brings philosophical depth and theoretical rigour to some of the most important and difficult questions concerning free expression. Building on a framework set out by J.S. Mill – that a legal restriction of expression is justified only when the expression in question is harmful to others and when the benefits of the restriction will exceed its costs – Sumner shows how the Canadian courts have replicated Mill's framework in their interpretation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.The Hateful and the Obscene is a compelTrade Review"'L.W.
