The Concept of a Legal System: An Introduction to the Theory of the Legal System
By Joseph Raz
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages: 256
Publication Date: 1980-07-31
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 019825363X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780198253631
Binding: Hardcover
Book Description:
What does it mean to assert or deny the existence of a legal system? How can one determine whether a given law belongs to a certain legal system? What kind of structure do these systems have, that is--what necessary relations obtain between their laws? The examination of these problems in this
volume leads to a new approach to traditional jurisprudential question, though the conclusions are based on a critical appraisal, particularly those of Bentham, Austin, Kelsen, and Hart.

The Authority of Law

Book Description:
"He is a remarkably skillful interpreter of the positivist legal philosophers and probably the most stimulating current contributor to discussion of the issues they raised."--Thomas Morawetz in Ethics. Joseph Raz examines here the nature of law and its relations to morality, concentrating on the issue of the proper moral attitude of a citizen towards the law of his country. A discussion of the concept of legitimate authority is followed by a detailed explanation and defense of the legal positivist's approach to law. Within this framework the author examines several areas where legal analysis is often thought to be penetrated by moral values, particularly the social functions of the law, judicial creativity, and the ideals of the rule of law.

Roman Catholicism and Political Form (Contributions in Political Science)
By Carl Schmitt
Publisher: Greenwood Press
Number Of Pages: 112
Publication Date: 1996-11-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0313301050
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780313301056
Binding: Hardcover
Book Description:
According to G. L. Ulmen, translator of Roman Catholicism and Political Form, this book is important not only for its content, even more relevant at the end than at the beginning of this century, but also for its author, one of the 20th century's most seminal thinkers. While exploring and elaborating the meaning of "political theology" in Germany in the 1920s, Carl Schmitt had occasion to address the question of the relation between Roman Catholicism and the modern--even post-modern--world. As Schmitt saw it, the state, as the principal agent of secularization and the supreme accomplishment of occidental rationalism, was the core institution of the modern world, which lasted from the 16th to the end of the 19th century, when the assumptions and concepts of the jus publicum Europaeum and the Eurocentric epoch of world history began to decline. Asserting that "all significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts," Schmitt felt the need to address the question of what political form might replace the state. It was in this context that he wrote Roman Catholicism and Political Form, which presupposes an affinity not only between the Church and the state, but between Catholicism and political thinking. Once the state began to lose its monopoly of politics and, thereby, its legitimacy, Schmitt looked to the other side of the occidental equation--the Catholic Church--in search of a new form of the political. His argument proceeds from the assumption that there is a structural identity between "the metaphysical image of the world a particular age creates" and "the form of a political organization."

By Joseph Raz
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages: 344
Publication Date: 2002-05-02
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0199248001
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780199248001
Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
Engaging Reason offers a penetrating examination of a set of fundamental questions about human thought and action. In these tightly argued and interconnected essays Joseph Raz examines the nature of normativity, reason, and the will; the justification of reason; and the objectivity of value. He argues for the centrality, but also demonstrates the limits, of reason in action and belief. He suggests that our life is most truly our own when our various emotions, hopes, desires, intentions, and actions are guided by reason. He explores the universality of value and of principles of reason on one side, and on the other side their dependence on social practices, and their susceptibility to change and improvement. He concludes with an illuminating explanation of self-interest and its relation to impersonal values in general and to morality in particular. Joseph Raz has been since the 1970s a prominent, original, and widely admired contributor to the study of norms, values, and reasons, not just in philosophy but in political and legal theory. This volume displays the power and unity of his thought on these subjects, and will be essential reading for all who work on them.

Broadband: Should We Regulate High-Speed Internet Access?
By Aei-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies, Robert W. Crandall, James H. Alleman
Publisher: American Enterprise Institute Press
Number Of Pages: 304
Publication Date: 2003-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0815715919
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780815715917
Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
There is widespread concern in the telecommunications industry that public policy may be impeding the continued development of the Internet into a high-speed communications network. In the absence of ubiquitous, high-speed "broadband" Internet connections for residential and small-business customers, the demand for IT equipment and new Internet service applications may stagnate.
Broadband policy is controversial in large part because of the differences in the regulatory regimes faced by different types of carriers. Cable television companies face neither retail price regulation of their cable modem services nor any requirements to make their facilities available to competitors. Local telephone companies, on the other hand, face both retail price regulation for their DSL service and a requirement imposed by the 1996 Telecommunications Act that they "unbundle" their network facilities and lease them to rivals. Finally, new entrants are largely unregulated, but many rely on facilities leased from the incumbent telephone companies at regulated rates to connect to their customers. This asymmetric regulation is the focus of this volume, in which telecommunications scholars address the public policy issues that have arisen over the deployment of new high-speed telecommunications services.

The Economics and Politics of the Slowdown in Regulatory Reform
By Roger G. Noll
Publisher: American Enterprise Institute Press
Number Of Pages: 43
Publication Date: 1999-06
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0844771392
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780844771397
Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
Many forms of regulation have grown dramatically in recent decades--especially in the areas of health, safety, and the environment. Moreover, expenditures in those areas are likely to grow more quickly than the rate of government spending. Yet the economic impact of regulation receives much less scrutiny than direct, budgeted government spending.
The federal government has made substantial progress in reforming economic regulation--especially by deregulating prices and reducing entry barriers in specific industries. For example, over the past two decades consumers have realized major gains from the deregulation of transportation services. Still, policymakers can achieve significant additional gains from fully deregulating other industries, such as telecommunications and electricity.

Financial Privacy, Consumer Prosperity, and the Public Good
By Robert E. Litan, Michael Staten, Peter J. Wallison
Publisher: American Enterprise Institute Press
Number Of Pages: 36
Publication Date: 2003-07
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0815713177
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780815713173
Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
American consumers have become accustomed to obtaining instant credit. The process requires that credit bureaus have easy access to sensitive financial information about individuals, compiled largely without their consent. This report examines the debate surrounding the role of the states in regulating these credit bureaus, especially in light of expiring amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which have allowed bureaus to continue these practices, exempting them from state laws that might obstruct them.
How this controversy is resolved will have an important bearing on credit markets and financial privacy in the future. The authors make the case for continued federal preemption of the states in this area. Without it, the authors argue, the consumer credit system has developed in the United States would be put in jeopardy.

The Political Economy of Intellectual Property Law
By William M. Landes, Richard A. Posner
Publisher: American Enterprise Institute Press
Number Of Pages: 42
Publication Date: 2004-06
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0844771767
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780844771762
Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
Intellectual property rights have undergone a significant expansion over the last half century, particularly since the Copyright Act of 1976. In The Political Economy of Intellectual Property Law, William M. Landes and Richard A. Posner (AEI Press; July 1, 2004) attempt to explain this expansion of intellectual property rights, and how it could have coincided with the deregulation movement.
Should intellectual property be thought of as a form of regulation? Why did the movement for greater protection of intellectual property coincide with the deregulation movement?
Landes and Posner apply public-choice theory to the growth and character of intellectual property protection over the last half-century. The authors argue that public-choice theory alone cannot explain the coincidence of the deregulation movement and the rapid growth of intellectual property protection. Political forces and ideological currents associated with the deregulation movement, combined with interest-group pressures, best explain the increases in intellectual property protection since 1976.
The authors urge caution in equating intellectual property rights to physical property rights. They counsel skeptics of government to hesitate before extending a presumption of efficiency to a process by which government grants rights to exclude competition.

An Agenda for Federal Regulatory Reform

Book Description:
The authors of this primer believe that the current approach to federal regulation urgently needs repair. Not only are current expenditures mandated by regulation large, but a substantial share of those expenditures is ineffective. As a result, more intelligent policies could achieve the same social goals at much less cost or more ambitious goals at the same cost. Federal regulation has grown dramatically in recent decades, whether considered absolutely, as a relative share of the U.S. economy, or as a relative share of the output of the federal government.

Economics, Law and Individual Rights
Author: Hugo Mialon
Publisher: Routledge
File size: 1,74 MB
File type: pdf
This book brings together for the first time the emerging literature that employs economics to analyze the implications of constitutional protections of individual rights and freedoms, including freedom of speech and of the press, the right to bear arms, the right against unreasonable search, the right against self-incrimination, the right to trial by jury, and the right against cruel or unusual punishment. Several of the papers included in the book employ economic theory to analyze the efficiency of policies related to the constitutional protections, and others formulate empirical models to estimate the effects of these policies on observable outcomes. Many of the results are immediately relevant to current debate and policy-making. Contributors include Sendhil Mullainathan, Albert Breton and Daniel Seidmann.
