Judicial Review in New Democracies: Constitutional Courts in Asian Cases
By Tom Ginsburg


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages:  310
Publication Date:  2003-08-18
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0521817153
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780521817158
Binding:  Hardcover



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Product Description:

Where does judicial power come from, how does it develop, and what political conditions support its expansion? This book answers these important questions through an examination of three constitutional courts in East Asia, where law is traditionally viewed as a tool of authoritarian rulers. New democracies around the world have adopted constitutional courts to oversee the operation of democratic politics. Thomas Ginsburg argues that, while judicial review does put constraints on government, it is sought as a solution to the problem of uncertainty in constitutional design. By providing "insurance" to prospective electoral losers, judicial review facilitates democracy.

Your Right to Privacy, Second Edition: A basic guide to legal rights in an information society (ACLU Handbook)
By Evan Hendricks, Trudy Hayden, Jack D. Novik

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Southern Illinois University
Number Of Pages:  208
Publication Date:  1990-04-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0809316323
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780809316328
Binding:  Paperback


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:


This carefully researched revision of an earlier edition of Your Right to Privacy documents the major assaults on privacy that have occurred since the advent of the computer age. Now our activities are recorded and the data stored in huge computer systems operated by corporations and government agencies, but weak privacy laws give us very little control over who sees those records.



They explore privacy issues in connection with electronic surveillance results; drug and AIDS testing and polygraph tests; and government and private sector use of personal data, including bank, medical, employee, credit, video store, library, and social service records. A special chapter explains how private investigators gain access to personal records.

The Rights of Students: The Basic ACLU Guide to a Student's Rights (ACLU Handbook)
By Janet R. Price, Alan H. Levine, Eve Cary

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Southern Illinois University
Number Of Pages:  200
Publication Date:  1988-03-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0809314231
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780809314232
Binding:  Paperback


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:


The laws affecting students are complex, controversial, and in a constant state of flux.

Price, Levine, and Cary seek to define how much power school officials have to regulate students’ lives and what responsibilities they have to provide students with appropriate services and protections.

Racial discrimination, a subject so enormous and important that it requires a book of its own, is considered only as it affects various other topics, such as due process and corporal punishment.

The author’s make clear that although it can be costly to challenge practices that violate students’ rights, student involvement in setting school policies and active parent participation through associations, meetings, or petitions can offer more immediate and less costly means to eliminate or change offensive school policies.

Negotiating Responsibility in the Criminal Justice System (Elmer H Johnson & Carol Holmes Johnson Series in Criminology)
By Jack Kamerman

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Southern Illinois University
Number Of Pages:  216
Publication Date:  1998-11-04
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0809322110
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780809322114
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:


With this collection of essays, Jack Kamerman presents the first sustained examination of one of the underpinnings of the operation of the criminal justice system: the issue of responsibility for actions and, as a consequence, the issue of accountability.





Unique in the breadth of its approach, this volume examines the issue of responsibility from the perspectives of criminal justice professionals, sociologists, philosophers, and public administrators from four countries. Attacking the problem on various levels, the essayists look first at the assumptions made by criminal justice institutions regarding offender responsibility, then turn to the views of offenders on the causes of their own actions and to the consequences of offenders either to accept or deny responsibility.





These scholars also examine the social and psychological circumstances under which people in general accept or deny responsibility for what they do, thus providing the basis for understanding the process of social distance as a major precondition for people to commit atrocities without seeing themselves as responsible. Understanding the circumstances under which people either distance themselves from or embrace responsibility enables criminologists to make grounded recommendations for reordering responsibility in the criminal justice system and, more generally, for restoring a sense of responsibility to organizations, occupations, and society.





Aside from Kamerman, the contributors are William C. Collins, Charles Fethe, Gilbert Geis, Robert J. Kelly, Alison Liebling, Jess Maghan, Mark Harrison Moore, Paul Neurath, John Rakis, William Rentzmann, and José E. Sánchez.

More Speech, Not Less: Communications Law in the Information Age
By Mark Sableman

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Southern Illinois University Press
Number Of Pages:  304
Publication Date:  1997-11-21
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0809321351
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780809321353
Binding:  Paperback


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:


On a daily basis we are confronted with "more speech, not less"—more news reports, more television channels, more publications, more electronic communications. Communications laws have expanded in response to the proliferation of communications, and these laws affect everyone.



Communications lawyer Mark Sableman uses recent case studies, practical examples, and plain language to describe and analyze the broad spectrum of modern communications laws and policies. In these essays, Sableman helps communications professionals as well as informed citizens understand the law.



The constitutional foundation for the information age is settled: radical solutions on either side have been rejected. Neither First Amendment absolutism nor untrammeled content-based censorship will rule in America. But within the remaining middle area, many key policy choices are being made by courts and policy makers. Intricate webs of legal do’s and don’ts, practical pitfalls, and effective safe harbors are being developed across the broad spectrum of communications law.



In this guide to existing law, developing trends, and critical policy determinations, Sableman discusses privacy, Internet communications and policy, censorship, libel and slander, copyright and intellectual property, advertising, broadcasting, and journalistic confidentiality. Through actual cases and practical examples, he examines and explains both the existing rules for communications professionals and the developing policies that deserve the attention and scrutiny of informed citizens. Sableman approaches these subjects as a practicing lawyer experienced in both business and media communications.



The phrase "more speech, not less" describes not only the growing cacophony of the information age, but also one approach to legal policy—Justice Louis D. Brandeis’s preference for "more speech, not enforced silence" in all but the most extreme situations. Drawing from his strong advocacy of free speech, Sableman hopes to stimulate informed debate among all who are concerned about the power of information and the magic of words and images.

Legislative Deferrals: Statutory Ambiguity, Judicial Power, and American Democracy
By George I. Lovell


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Publisher:  Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages:  312
Publication Date:  2003-03-31
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  052182415X
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780521824156
Binding:  Hardcover



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Product Description:

United States judges are criticized for making law when they should be following the laws made by elected officials. This book argues that much of the blame for judicial policymaking lies with elected officials. Legislators sometimes deliberately allow judges to make policy decisions because they want to avoid blame for making difficult choices. To demonstrate the importance of legislative deference, this study reexamines dramatic confrontations between Congress and the Supreme Court over labor policy in the early twentieth century.

Territory and Terror: Conflicting Nationalisms in the Basque Country (Routledge Advances in European Politics)
By Jan Mansvelt-Beck

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Routledge
Number Of Pages:  263
Publication Date:  2005-02-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0415348145
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780415348140
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

All Basque interpretations of national power have resulted in an uneasy mix of often fragmented and conflicting territorial identifications. Basques can identify themselves with France, Spain or an imagined Basque nation state. Territory and Terror confronts the imagined and actual territorial dimensions of nationalism, shedding new light on the Basque conflict.

The study provides a rich description of territoriality analyzed from a comparative perspective and explores the relation between territoriality and regional differences in conflict intensity. It supplies an account of the often-overlooked internal struggles between Basques, arguing that overestimation of Basque nationalism as the ideological force behind the conflict often leads to a disregard of the identification of many with France or Spain. In addition, the author investigates the conflicts between Basque nationalists themselves over key issues such as terrorist activity.

Territory and Terror will appeal to students and researchers of nationalism and territoriality, in particular to those with an interest in the Basque country.

ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0471648108
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780471648109
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

The crime of the twenty-first century doesn't discriminate: ID theft has hit ordinary citizens and celebrities alike, from Oprah Winfrey to Steven Spielberg, and costs the economy $50 billion a year. Your Evil Twin covers this exploding crime from every possible angle. It includes exclusive whodunit details from mastermind identity thieves who have pilfered money from half the members of the Forbes 400, as well as exclusive interviews with a myriad of criminals in the Internet's underground, such as Russian hackers who have extorted money from U.S. banks. The book also issues a scathing indictment of the credit granting industry, from credit card issuers to the secretive credit reporting agencies, who have misunderstood the crime from the start, have been slow to respond, and bear much of the responsibility for the epidemic. Finally, Bob Sullivan, author and identity theft expert, probes the tepid solutions now being cobbled together by the industry and government.
Bob Sullivan (Snohomish, WA), senior technology writer for MSNBC.com, is the nation's leading journalist covering identity fraud. He has written more than 100 articles on the subject since 1996, and is a regular contributor to MSNBC, CNBC, NBC Nightly News, the Today show, and various local NBC affiliates. With colleague Mike Brunker, Sullivan received the prestigious 2002 Society of Professional Journalists Public Service Award for ongoing coverage of Internet fraud.

The International Political Economy Of Intellectual Property Rights (New Horizons in Intellectual Property Series)
By Meir Perez Pugatch

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Edward Elgar Publishing
Number Of Pages:  296
Publication Date:  2004-08-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1843767643
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781843767640
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Book Description:

This book investigates the realm of intellectual property rights (IPRs) within the context of international political economy. In particular, it examines the extent to which powerful interest groups, such as pharmaceutical multinational companies, influence the political dynamism underlying the field of IPRs.

Meir Perez Pugatch argues that a pure economic approach does not provide a sufficient or satisfactory explanation for the creation of intellectual property rights, most notably patents. The author instead suggests that a dynamic approach, based on the international political economy of interest groups and systemic outcomes, provides a better starting point for explaining how the international intellectual property agenda is determined.

The book explores the manner in which the R&D-based pharmaceutical industry in Europe organized and operated between 1995 and 1999 in order to secure its interests with regard to the agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPs) of the World Trade Organization.

The International Political Economy of Intellectual Property Rights will be warmly welcomed by scholars, practitioners, and government officials interested in the fields of international trade and intellectual property policy, intellectual property law and international business. The potential readership is as likely to come from developed as from developing countries. The latter may find the process of IP policy making of particular interest and relevance given current international IP developments.

Civil Service Systems in Anglo-American Countries (Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective)
By John Halligan

Number Of Pages:  240
Publication Date:  2004-03
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1840647124
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781840647129
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Book Description:

Civil Service Systems in Anglo-American Countries presents a comprehensive overview of the important issues in modern bureaucracies, combined with a comparative analysis of the civil service systems and administrative traditions of five Anglo-American nations: Australia, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States.

In each chapter, expert contributors undertake a systematic analysis of each country’s civil service from three broad perspectives: external relations, internal constituent features and patterns of change. By employing a comparative framework in conjunction with empirical research, they are able to emphasize the specific nature, characteristics and development of each civil service system. They also highlight the historical developments and reforms associated with the Anglo-American model, which are often highly distinctive compared with other OECD nations. The book concludes with a systematic comparison of each civil service system, attempting to find parallels and variations between them.

Scholars and students of public administration, political science and international affairs will value this unique comparative study of the civil service traditions of Anglo-American countries.

The Cultural Defense
By Alison Dundes Renteln

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages:  416
Publication Date:  2004-01-15
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0195154029
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780195154023
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

In a trial in California, Navajo defendants argue that using the hallucinogen peyote to achieve spiritual exaltation is protected by the Constitution's free exercise of religion clause, trumping the states' right to regulate them. An Ibo man from Nigeria sues Pan American World Airways for transporting his mother's corpse in a cloth sack. Her arrival for the funeral facedown in a burlap bag signifies death by suicide according to the customs of her Ibo kin, and brings great shame to the son. In Los Angeles, two Cambodian men are prosecuted for attempting to eat a four month-old puppy. The immigrants' lawyers argue that the men were following their own "national customs" and do not realize their conduct is offensive to "American sensibilities." What is the just decision in each case? When cultural practices come into conflict with the law is it legitimate to take culture into account? Is there room in modern legal systems for a cultural defense?
In this remarkable book, Alison Dundes Renteln amasses hundreds of cases from the U.S. and around the world in which cultural issues take center stage-from the mundane to the bizarre, from drugs to death. Though cultural practices vary dramatically, Renteln demonstrates that there are discernible patterns to the cultural arguments used in the courtroom. The regularities she uncovers offer judges a starting point for creating a body of law that takes culture into account. Renteln contends that a systematic treatment of culture in law is not only possible, but ultimately more equitable. A just pluralistic society requires a legal system that can assess diverse motivations and can recognize the key role that culture plays in influencing human behavior. The inclusion of evidence of cultural background is necessary for the fair hearing of a case.
An invaluable resource for practitioners, students, and the merely curious, this comprehensive treatment of cultural conflicts in diverse societies will spark lively debate.

Trial and Error: The American Controversy Over Creation and Evolution
By Edward J. Larson

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages:  288
Publication Date:  2003-01-23
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0195154703
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780195154702
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

Trial and Error traces the coverage or lack thereof, of evolution in textbooks used in American public schools from the mid-1800s to the present. While the teaching of Darwinian evolution was common and not controversial in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century, the debates between evolutionists and creationists, those who argue that the Biblical theory of origins deserves equal treatment, have flared throughout the twentieth century--first in the 1920s, most famously in the Scopes trial; again in the 1960s, when the regional legislation banning the teaching of evolution was overturned, notably in Arkansas and Louisiana; and throughout the 1980s with various controversies over science textbooks, including California. Larson proposes to bring the subject up to the present through a discussion of recent trends, including the "intelligent design" movement, led by Phillip Johnson, a revised form of anti-evolutionism that gained popularity on college campuses; the impact of Michael Behe's versions of evolution; and debates over what counts as evidence for and against evolution--all of which have influenced debates over science standards, particularly at state and local levels. This new chapter will chronicle anti-evolution actions in Kansas and elsewhere and counter-actions by the National Academy of Science and other anti-creationist groups. This updated classic work presents a balanced historical interpretation of legal and educational debates over evolutionism, and will appeal to those interested in the fields of history, religion, science, and law.

The Future of Imprisonment
By Michael Tonry

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Oxford University Press, USA
Number Of Pages:  272
Publication Date:  2004-04-08
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0195161637
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780195161632
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

The imprisonment rate in America has grown by a factor of five since 1972. In that time, punishment policies have toughened, compassion for prisoners has diminished, and prisons have gotten worse-a stark contrast to the origins of the prison 200 years ago as a humanitarian reform, a substitute for capital and corporal punishment and banishment. So what went wrong? How can prisons be made simultaneously more effective and more humane? Who should be sent there in the first place? What should happen to them while they are inside? When, how, and under what conditions should they be released?
The Future of Imprisonment unites some of the leading prisons and penal policy scholars of our time to address these fundamental questions. Inspired by the work of Norval Morris, the contributors look back to the past twenty-five years of penal policy in an effort to look forward to the prison's twenty-first century future. Their essays examine the effects of current high levels of imprisonment on urban neighborhoods and the people who live in them. They reveal how current policies came to be as they are and explain the theories of punishment that guide imprisonment decisions. Finally, the contributors argue for the strategic importance of controls on punishment including imprisonment as a limit on government power; chart the rise and fall of efforts to improve conditions inside; analyze the theory and practice of prison release; and evaluate the tricky science of predicting and preventing recidivism.
A definitive guide to imprisonment policies for the future, this volume convincingly demonstrates how we can prevent crime more effectively at lower economic and human cost.
