Traffick: The Illicit Movement of People and Things
By Gargi Bhattacharyya
Publisher:Pluto Press
Number Of Pages:224
Publication Date:2005-07-13
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0745320481
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780745320489
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This book explores the underbelly of globalisation—the illicit networks of money, drugs, people and arms that make up a multi-billion dollar illegal economy.
This is the dangerous world of trafficking, identified by developed countries as the major threat to international order. In their eyes, it brings unwanted and undocumented people into the hidden crevices of affluent societies: guns and drugs are exchanged for access to the global market through the backdoor. As a result, trafficking is scrutinised, villified, outlawed, even as free trade is celebrated.
Gargi Bhattacharyya argues that the official economy relies on this illegal economy. Without it, globalisation cannot access cheap labour, it cannot reach vulnerable new markets, and it cannot finance expansion into the places most ravaged by human suffering. Traffick has become the secret basis of global expansion. The book examines the workings of the illegal economy, breaking it down into four main sections: organised crime, drugs, arms and people-trafficking. Exploring how we got here, and what the future holds, the issues it raises should interest a broad range of students across the social sciences.
Gargi Bhattacharyya is Senior Lecturer in Cultural Politics and Religion at the University of Birmingham. She is author of Race and Power: Global Racism in the Twenty-First Century with John Gabriel and Stephen Small (2001), Sex and Society (2002), and Tales of Dark-Skinned Women (1998).

Getting Away With Genocide: Cambodia's Long Struggle Against the Khmer Rouge

Binding:Hardcover
Summary: Turned off by errors in "Forward".
Rating: 3
This is a good book outlining all the difficulties in bringing any of the Khmer Rouge to justice. Having said that however anyone who knows Phnom Penh and Cambodia will be turned off by the factual errors in the Forward. e.g. Phnom Penh is at the juction of three rivers, not two. The Tone Sap, the Mekong and the Balzac. The city is on the Tonle Sap river and the author did not stroll along the Mekong - it was the Tonle Sap. The FCC is not "a rather sweet little restuarant", it is a large three story affair with a large restuarant area and large windows overlooking the Tonle Sap river although the junction with the Mekong can be seen in the distance.The are no sugar palm trees anywhere near the airport. He did not take an evening stroll along the Mekong - it must have been along the Tonle Sap.
There are no city lights twinkling on the other side of the river. Only now is development of that area beginning. The long row of Vietnamese floating homes there were cut loose and floated downstream. There are not now and never were "innumerable little brothels" across the river.

The Quiet Revolutionaries: Seeking Justice in Guatemala
By Frank M. Afflitto, Paul Jesilow
Publisher:University of Texas Press
Number Of Pages:218
Publication Date:2007-09-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0292716761
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780292716766
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
The last three decades of the twentieth century brought relentless waves of death squads, political kidnappings, and other traumas to the people of Guatemala. Many people fled the country to escape the violence. Yet, at the same moment, a popular movement for justice brought together unlikely bands of behind-the-scenes heroes, blurring ethnic, geographic, and even class lines.
The Quiet Revolutionaries is drawn from interviews conducted by Frank Afflitto in the early 1990s with more than eighty survivors of the state-sanctioned violence. Gathered under frequently life-threatening circumstances, the observations and recollections of these inspiring men and women form a unique perspective on collective efforts to produce change in politics, law, and public consciousness. Examined from a variety of perspectives, from sociological to historical, their stories form a rich ethnography. While it is still too soon to tell whether stable, long-term democracy will prevail in Guatemala, the successes of these fascinating individuals provide a unique understanding of revolutionary resistance.

Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law

Author: Jan M. Smits
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
File size: 2.66 Mb
File type: Rar'd PDF
————————————————————————————————————————————
Book Description:
`The Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law looks set to become an indispensable source for the ever increasing body of lawyers needing accurate information on the structure and working of foreign systems as well as on points of a substantive law. Edited by Professor Jan Smits of Maastricht University the Encyclopedia is the work of an extremely strong international team of noted specialists. Comprising articles on the nature, methodology and focus of comparative law, on the legal systems of particular jurisdictions and on matters of substantive law, the work should be a very significant contribution to the literature. It seems likely that the contributions on the "comparative state of affairs" in particular fields of substantive law will be an especially valuable aspect of the work. There will be 37 such articles from "accident compensation" to "unjustified enrichment" with "mistake", "personality rights", "product liability" and "transfer of moveable property" only a sample of what the work will offer. Casting over this list one is again struck by the wealth of established expertise brought together in the Encyclopedia. I have little doubt that I can speak for the worldwide community of comparative lawyers in saying that the Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law is eagerly awaited.' - David L. Carey Miller, University of Aberdeen, UK

The Law And Economics Of Child Support Payments
By William S. Comanor
Publisher:Edward Elgar Pub
Number Of Pages:320
Publication Date:2004-08-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1843761211
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781843761211
Binding:Hardcover
Book Description:
The delinquent payment of child support by non-custodial to custodial parents is a major problem throughout the United States. To many observers, the problem is one of ‘deadbeat dads’ - men who simply will not make the required payments. The solution has been to enforce payment by the imposition of increasingly stringent civil and criminal penalties. Despite these efforts, the percentage of single mothers receiving child support has changed very little over the past twenty-five years. The Law and Economics of Child Support Payments investigates why this is, and approaches the payment of child support as an economic problem.
To understand the issues involved, leading lawyers and economists examine various facets of the child support system from a law and economics perspective. They consider the incentives faced by both custodial and non-custodial parents, and search for policy actions that are more incentive-compatible for all participants. The assumptions underlying current child support guidelines are discussed, as are the ways in which child support payments affect family structure, teenage delinquency and income disparities between parents.
This comprehensive, provocative volume will be of considerable interest to policymakers, lawyers and parent advocacy groups, as well as to students of this timely issue.

Treason and the State: Law, Politics and Ideology in the English Civil War (Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History)
By D. Alan Orr
Publisher:Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages:246
Publication Date:2002-07-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0521771021
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780521771023
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This study traces the transition of treason from a personal crime against a monarch to a more modern crime against the impersonal state. Prior to the Civil Wars of the 1640s, English jurists construed the law of treason largely as a personal crime against the monarch. The book reveals how the events of the 1640s challenged pre-existing interpretations and led to a revised understanding of treason as a crime committed against "the state" as an impersonal entity.

Environment and Democracy in the Czech Republic: The Environmental Movement in the Transition Process
By Adam Fagan
Publisher:Edward Elgar Publishing
Number Of Pages:195
Publication Date:2004-06
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1858988764
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781858988764
Binding:Hardcover
Book Description:
Since a handful of environmental activists helped to bring down the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, the arena of environmental politics has offered a valuable lens on the transition process, providing a unique insight into the contradictory and highly contingent relationship between democratization and neo-liberalism.
Environment and Democracy in the Czech Republic offers a radical perspective on the democratization process, revealing the extent to which the consolidation of a politically efficacious and diverse civil society is far more complex than the earlier generation of commentators acknowledged. The environmental movement has not flourished under political democracy; its radical activists have been marginalized and targeted by the state, their ideologies and strategies compromised and their critical voice silenced. Yet the book concludes that while the mainstream environmental movement has become institutionalized and appears incapable of representing community interests, the environmental issue retains the capacity to mobilize, this time against the neo-liberal agenda of the democratic government.
This definitive account of the evolution of the Czech environmental movement since 1990 offers a radical evaluation of the institutions and practice of political democracy, and challenges some of the certainties of social movement theory. Although focused on the Czech Republic, the book will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding of the role of environmental movements within contemporary politics throughout the world. It will be welcomed by political and social scientists with an interest in Central and Eastern Europe, and academics and students with an interest in environmental politics.

The Rights of Families: The Authoritative ACLU Guide to the Rights of Family Members Today
Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press | 360 pages | 1996-11-01 | 0809320525 | PDF | 3.5 Mb
In this new ACLU handbook, the authors use a simple question-and-answer format to clearly and concisely explain the legal rights of members of today’s rapidly changing families.
Family law over the last quarter of a century has undergone a revolution. Stepparents, adoptive parents, foster parents, single parents, grandparents, and gay parents have come forward to challenge the traditional definition of a family based on blood ties alone. Once taboo, divorce has shed its social stigma, leading to new laws regarding the division of property and alimony among divorced people. And increased national attention has been focused on abuse and neglect of children in their homes.

The Rights of Older Persons, Second Edition: A Basic Guide to the Legal Rights of Older Persons under Current Law
Publisher: Southern Illinois University Press | 432 pages | 1989-01-01 | 0809314320 | PDF | 4.5 Mb
The three broad areas of concern are the right to an adequate income, the right to health care, and freedom from restraints on life, liberty, and property.
The handbook deals with the right of older people to receive the benefits promised by law: Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Medicare, and others. It covers major laws affecting older people as well as court decisions and rules issued by the government agencies responsible for administering these laws. Because agencies such as the Social Security Administration and state health and welfare bureaucracies play a large role in the lives of the elderly, Brown and the Legal Counsel describe these units and show how to avoid pitfalls in dealing with them.
