LUP - University of Michigan Press Walking the Gendered Tightrope
Book SynopsisWhile other books have analysed the barriers to higher office that women face, this book reveals how women in positions of power are still forced to balance feminine stereotypes with the perception of power as masculine in order to prove their legitimacy.Trade Review“By contrasting Theresa May and Nancy Pelosi, two leaders serving in entirely different political systems and from opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, Haussman and Kedrowski tease out important patterns in the challenges female leaders face. They demonstrate how institutional dynamics and gendered power norms impact women leaders differently than their male counterparts. The book holds important lessons for scholars and practitioners who want to see more diversity at the highest levels of government.” —Michele Swers, Georgetown UniversityTable of Contents Acknowledgments Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: How Female Leaders Get there: Party Workhorses but Not Party Animals Chapter 3: Prime Minister May’s Tightrope Walk between Brexiteers and Remainers Chapter 4: Pelosi’s Tightropes Chapter 5: Conclusion Table 1 References Index

Book SynopsisExamine the ways that US Congress has used the legislative veto over the past 80 years. Michael J. Berry argues that, since the US Supreme Court declared the legislative veto unconstitutional in Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) v.

The University of Michigan Press Rising Powers and Foreign Policy Revisionism
Book SynopsisExamines the identity and behavior of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) in light of concerns that rising powers may become more aggressive and conflict-prone. The authors develop a theoretical framework that encapsulates pressures for revisionism through the mechanism of competition, and pressures for accommodation and assimilation through the mechanism of socialization.Trade ReviewBy combining structural and ideational variables, Thies and Nieman enlarge our understanding of the rising power phenomenon and add much to one of the most important issue areas of international relations."" - T. V. Paul, McGill University""In this book, Thies and Nieman make a significant contribution to the literature on rising powers, challenging some of the received wisdom about this important group of states. By developing a role theoretical approach to foreign policy analysis and by applying the approach to some of the key rising powers in the contemporary international system they are able to generate a series of fascinating insights about this group of states."" - Richard Little, University of Bristol

This book is an excellent example of the kind of detailed research needed to fully understand the crucial impact of these funds."" - Paul Rose, Ohio State University

The University of Michigan Press Electoral Reform and the Fate of New Democracies

Using a multimethods approach, the book examines three consecutive periods of reform in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim majority country and third largest democracy.Trade ReviewThis is a highly valuable book on the relatively underexplored topic of electoral reform.

The book will make a large contribution to the political science literature on elections and electoral rules. In addition, it provides invaluable detail on the electoral process in the world's third largest democracy." - Joel Selway, Brigham Young University"Shair-Rosenfield draws upon dauntingly complex data-collection and analysis to tease out the actual implications of counterfactual decisions regarding electoral rules. The end result is a creative effort to drill deeply into a case to clarify why theoretical predictions fail to hold up consistently." - Meredith Weiss, University of Albany

Rlpg/Galleys New Approaches to Comparative Politics
Book SynopsisThe field of comparative politics traditionally has been divided into two camps: on the one hand, quantitatively driven work on a broad scale; on the other, more qualitative area studies. This edited collection promotes a new approach to comparative politics that transcends the debate about the future of the discipline. The contributors'' essays are innovative in their interweaving of case studies of the political situations in particular regions with the project of political theorizing. The chapters take as their points of departure such diverse topics as the liberal tradition in United States politics, the impact of drug-related violence on democratic stability in Colombia, and the relationship between poverty reduction and support for democracy in Mali, thereby resoundingly demonstrating the broad relevance of the volume''s unifying theme: theoretically informed comparative analysis. Students of politics, from advanced undergraduates to practicing scholars, will find this volume useful in assessing, analyzing, and uniting the fields of comparative politics and political theory.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction: Comparative Politics with Political Theory Chapter 2 The Reconciliation of Political Theory and Comparative Politics Chapter 3 Modernity and the State: Enlightenment, Liberalism, and Political Development in the United States Chapter 4 Relationships Between Poverty Reduction Approaches and Donor Support for Democracy: The Case of Mali Chapter 5 Citizenship and Difference in Latin American Indigenous Politics: Democratic Theory and Comparative Politics Chapter 6 Plan Colombia, Violence, and Citizen Support in Colombia Chapter 7 The Kantian Peace through a Radical Theoretic Lens Chapter 8 Imagining Legal Fairness: A Comparative Perspective Chapter 9 Conclusion: Bridging the Disciplinary Divide

Taylor & Francis Inc Regulation and the Credit Rating Agencies
Book SynopsisThis book examines the transgressions of the credit rating agencies before, during and after the recent financial crisis. It proposes that by restricting the agenciesâ ability to offer ancillary services there stands the opportunity to limit, in an achievable and practical manner, the potentially negative effect that the Big Three rating agencies â Standard & Poorâs, Moodyâs and Fitch â may have upon the financial sector and society moreover. The book contains an extensive and in-depth discussion about how the agencies ascended to their current position, why they were able to do so and ultimately their behaviour once their position was cemented.This work offers a new framework for the reader to follow, suggesting that investors, issuers and the state have a âdesiredâ version of the agencies in their thinking and operate upon that basis when, in fact, those imagined agencies do not exist, as demonstrated by the âactualâ conduct of the agencies. The book primarily aims to uncover this divergence and reveal the ârealâ credit rating agencies, and then on that basis propose a real and potentially achievable reform to limit the negative effects that result from poor performance in this Industry. It addresses the topics with regard to financial regulation and the financial crisis, and will be of interest to legal scholars interested in the intersection between business and he law as well as researchers, academics, policymakers, industry and professional associations and students in the fields of corporate law, banking and finance law, financial regulation, corporate governance and corporate finance.Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction 1 A Primer on the Credit Rating Domain2 The Divergence Between the Actual and the Desired3 Why the Agencies Transgress and What Allows Them to Do It4 Tried and Failed5 The Issue of Ancillary Service Provision6 A Reform ProposalConclusion Index

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Petitions to the Crown from English Religious
Book SynopsisPetitions are vital sources for our knowledge of life in the middle ages. A selection is presented here with English summaries, notes, and introduction.Through the petitions which they addressed to the crown the people of medieval England speak to us directly: the human interest stories they reveal are perhaps the nearest thing to local newspapers which the middle ages have leftus. Petitions were the subject's last resort when normal channels of law and government had failed, and offered kings the opportunity to exercise qualities of generosity, compassion, and sound judgment. However, despite their importance, they have not hitherto been recognized as a source for ecclesiastical history, a gap which this volume rectifies. A selection of over 200 cases shows the religious of medieval England taking full advantage of this mechanism, petitioning as landowners, neighbours, citizens, individuals, and religious orders. The subjects covered range from requests for tax rebates, and complaints about royal officials, to disputes with tenants, with townsmen, monastic rivals, and ecclesiastical superiors. National politics and international warfare are also represented, as are coastal erosion, and higher education. English summaries, explanatory notes and an extensive introduction enhance the reader's appreciation of this rich and remarkable resource. Dr Gwilym Dodd is Lecturer in History at the University of Nottingham, where Dr Alison K. McHardy also taught until her retirement.Trade ReviewThis is an interesting set of documents deserving of greater attention, which this volume will no doubt engender. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *Table of ContentsIntroduction Editorial Method Part One.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cryptocurrencies and the Regulatory Challenge
Book SynopsisAs a social process that places great stock in its stability and predictability, law does not deal easily or well with change. In a modern world that is in a constant and rapid state of flux, law is being placed under considerable stress in its efforts to fulfill its task as a primary regulator of social and economic behaviour. This challenge is particularly acute in the realm of technology and its profound ramifications for social and economic behaviour. The innovative Techno-Age not only offers fresh ways of handling old problems, but also throws up entirely new problems; traditional ways of thinking about and responding to these old and new problems and their optimal resolution are no longer as tenable as many once thought. One such example is the burgeoning world of cryptocurrencies this peer-to-peer digital network presents a profound challenge to the status quo of the financial services sector, to the established modes of state-backed fiat currency, and to the regulatory authTable of Contents LAW’S REGULATORY VALUE AND VIRTUE: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CRYPTO-WORLD INTO THE CRYPTO WORLD: PROBLEMATICS, PITFALLS AND PROSPECTS OF PIGEONS, PROPERTY AND VIRTUALITIES: A TAXONOMIC TEASER CURRENCY, COMMODITIES AND SECURITIES: SQUARE PEGS AND ROUND HOLES A SELF-REGULATED WORLD: A POLITICAL EXERCISE THE REGULATORY CHALLENGE: TOWARDS A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TAKING REGULATION SERIOUSLY: A CRYPTO REGIME OF ITS OWN AN EFFORT AT CRYPTO-REGULATION: GETTING SMARTER GETTING WITH THE PROGRAM: GOVERNANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY PAYING THE PRICE: SOME CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Law of Global Digitality
Book SynopsisThe Internet is not an unchartered territory. On the Internet, norms matter. They interact, regulate, are contested and legitimated by multiple actors. But are they diverse and unstructured, or are they part of a recognizable order? And if the latter, what does this order look like?This collected volume explores these key questions while providing new perspectives on the role of law in times of digitality. The book compares six different areas of law that have been particularly exposed to global digitality, namely laws regulating consumer contracts, data protection, the media, financial markets, criminal activity and intellectual property law. By comparing how these very different areas of law have evolved with regard to cross-border online situations, the book considers whether cyberlaw is little more than the law of the horse, or whether the law of global digitality is indeed special and, if so, what its characteristics across various areas of law are.

Taylor & Francis Sports Investigations Law and the ECHR
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the analysis of coercive measures that sports organisations are permitted to use as part of their internal sports investigation proceedings to investigate sports rule violations. The legality of such coercive measures is measured against the legal regime of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The book examines the important issue of the applicability of the ECHR to private sports organisations, which is currently widely debated in the field of sports law. The ECHR is hereby used as the analytical framework, which should also be a source of inspiration for jurisdictions outside the scope of application of the ECHR. The book further explores if and to what extent sports organisations and law enforcement agencies may exchange intelligence in support of both internal sports investigation proceedings and criminal investigations. At all stages, the work seeks to strike a balance between the interest of sports organisations to investigate sports rule violat

Book SynopsisProviding a complete view of U.S. legal principles, this book addresses distinct issues as well as the overlays and connections between them. It presents as a cohesive whole the interrelationships between constitutional principles, statutory criminal laws, procedural law, and common-law evidentiary doctrines. This fully revised and updated new edition also includes discussion questions and hypothetical scenarios to check learning.Constitutional principles are the foundation upon which substantive criminal law, criminal procedure law, and evidence laws rely. The concepts of due process, legality, specificity, notice, equality, and fairness are intrinsic to these three disciplines, and a firm understanding of their implications is necessary for a thorough comprehension of the topic.

Taylor & Francis Human Rights Law and Corporate Regulation
Book SynopsisThis book argues for an intensely humanist engagement with the company and presents a model of company regulation that is compatible with the protection, respect for and fulfilment of human rights.Dr Barrett provides a theoretical framing for corporate regulation in the context of human rights states. He argues that states which have ratified the fundamental human rights instruments should, on principle, exclude bodies corporate from the human rights ecosystem, except to the degree necessary to respect property rights of humans and human rights in business. He therefore develops a neo-concession' account of the corporation as the basis for a model of corporate regulation to protect human rights. The book outlines and recommends principal features of a company under a neo-concession model, and the role of regulators in furthering the state's human right obligations. It also delves into the potential issues of technological developments, including decentralized autonomous organ
