Human Security and International Law: Prospects and Problems (Studies in International Law)
By Barbara Von Tigerstrom


  * Publisher:  Hart Publishing
  * Number Of Pages:  254
  * Publication Date:  2007-12-13
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1841136107
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781841136103
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

The concept of 'human security' has influenced discourse and practice and has been the subject of vigorous debate. Despite its relevance to central questions of international law, human security has until recently received little attention from international lawyers. This book has two related goals: to evaluate human security as a concept that could be used in the analysis of international law, and to determine what insights about a human security approach might be gained by considering it from the perspective of international law. The first part of the book examines the evolution and meanings of the concept and its links with existing theories and principles of international law. The second part explores the ways in which human security has been and could be used in relation to the diverse topics of humanitarian intervention, internally displaced persons, small arms control, and global public health. The analysis sheds new light on debates about the concept's potential and limitations.

Law, Rights and Discourse: The Legal Philosophy of Robert Alexy (Legal Theory Today)
By George Pavlakos


  * Publisher:  Hart Publishing
  * Number Of Pages:  378
  * Publication Date:  2007-06-30
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  184113676X
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781841136769
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

A philosophical system is not what one would expect to find in the work of a contemporary legal thinker. Robert Alexy's work counts as a striking exception. Over the past 28 years, Alexy has been developing, with remarkable clarity and consistency, a systematic philosophy covering most of the key areas of legal philosophy. Kantian in its inspiration, his work admirably combines the rigour of analytical philosophy with a repertoire of humanitarian ideals reflecting the tradition of the Geisteswissenschaften, rendering it one of the most far-reaching and influential legal philosophies in our time. This volume has been designed with two foci in mind: the first is to reflect the breadth of Alexy's philosophical system, as well as the varieties of jurisprudential and philosophical scholarship in the last three decades on which his work has had an impact. The second objective is to provide for a critical exchange between Alexy and a number of specialists in the field, with an eye to identifying new areas of inquiry and offering a new impetus to the discourse theory of law. To that extent, it was thought that a critical exchange such as the one undertaken here would most appropriately reflect the discursive and critical character of Robert Alexy's work. The volume is divided into four parts, each dealing with a key area of Alexy's contribution. A final section brings together concise answers by Robert Alexy. In composing these, Alexy has tried to focus on points and criticisms that address new aspects of discourse theory or otherwise point the way to future developments and applications. With its range of topics of coverage, the number of specialists it engages and the originality of the answers it provides, this collection will become a standard work of reference for anyone working in legal theory in general and the discourse theory of law in particular.

Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time: In Construction Contracts
By Brian Eggleston


  * Publisher:  Wiley-Blackwell
  * Number Of Pages:  408
  * Publication Date:  2009-02-13
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1405118156
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781405118156



Product Description:

Liquidated damages and extensions of time are complex subjects, frequently forming the basis of contract claims made under the standard building and civil engineering contracts. Previous editions of Liquidated Damages and Extensions of Time are highly regarded as a guide for both construction industry professionals and lawyers to this complex area.

The law on time and damages continues to develop with an increasing flow of judgments from the courts. Alongside this, the standard forms of contract have also developed over time to reflect prevailing approaches to contractual relationships. Against this background a third edition will be welcomed by construction professionals and lawyers alike. Retaining the overall approach of the previous editions, the author clarifies, in a highly readable but legally rigorous way, the many misunderstandings on time and damages which abound in the construction industry. The third edition takes account of a large volume of new case law since the previous edition was published over ten years ago, includes a new chapter on delay analysis and features significantly expanded chapters on penalty clauses, the effects of conditions precedent and time-bars, and the complexities of causation.

Regulatory Capitalism: How It Works, Ideas for Making It Work Better
By John Braithwaite


  * Publisher:  Edward Elgar Publishing
  * Number Of Pages:  245
  * Publication Date:  2008-05-30
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1847200028
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781847200020
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

Contemporary societies have more vibrant markets than past ones. Yet, they are more heavily populated by private and public regulators. This book explores the features of such a regulatory capitalism, its tendencies to be cyclically crisis-ridden, ritualistic and governed through networks. New ways of thinking about resultant policy challenges are developed. At the heart of this latest work by John Braithwaite lies the insight by David Levi-Faur and Jacint Jordana that the welfare state was succeeded in the 1970s by regulatory capitalism.The book argues that this has produced stronger markets, public regulation, private regulation and hybrid private/public regulation as well as new challenges such as a more cyclical quality to crises of market and governance failure, regulatory ritualism and markets in vice. However, regulatory capitalism also creates opportunities for better design of markets in virtue such as markets in continuous improvement, privatised enforcement of regulation, open source business models, regulatory pyramids with networked escalation and meta-governance of justice. "Regulatory Capitalism" will be warmly welcomed by regulatory scholars in political science, sociology, history, economics, business schools and law schools as well as regulatory bureaucrats, policy thinkers in government and law and society scholars.

The Cultural Lives of Cause Lawyers
By Austin Sarat, Stuart Scheingold


  * Publisher:  Cambridge University Press
  * Number Of Pages:  416
  * Publication Date:  2008-03-10
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0521884489
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780521884488
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

This book seeks to illuminate what we call the cultural lives of cause lawyers by examining their representation in various popular media (including film, fiction, mass-marketed non-fiction, television, and journalism), the work they do as creators of cultural products, and the way those representations and products are received and consumed by various audiences. By attending to media representations and the culture work done by cause lawyers, we can see what material is available for citizens and others to use in fashioning understandings of those lawyers. This book also provides a vehicle for determining whether, how, and to what extent cause lawyering is embedded in the discourses and symbolic practice around which ordinary citizens organize their understanding of social, political, and legal life. This book brings together research on the legal profession with work that takes up the analysis of popular culture. Contributors to this work include scholars of popular culture who turn their attention to cause lawyers and experts on cause lawyering who in turn focus their attention on popular culture. This is a joining of perspectives that is both long overdue and fruitful for both kinds of scholarship.

Against the Law: Labor Protests in China's Rustbelt and Sunbelt
By Ching Kwan Lee


  * Publisher:  University of California Press
  * Number Of Pages:  340
  * Publication Date:  2007-06-07
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0520250974
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780520250970
  * Binding:  Paperback



Product Description:

This study opens a critical perspective on the slow death of socialism and the rebirth of capitalism in the world's most dynamic and populous country. Based on remarkable fieldwork and extensive interviews in Chinese textile, apparel, machinery, and household appliance factories, Against the Law finds a rising tide of labor unrest mostly hidden from the world's attention. Providing a broad political and economic analysis of this labor struggle together with fine-grained ethnographic detail, the book portrays the Chinese working class as workers' stories unfold in bankrupt state factories and global sweatshops, in crowded dormitories and remote villages, at street protests as well as in quiet disenchantment with the corrupt officialdom and the fledgling legal system.

Violence and Serious Theft: Development and Prediction from Childhood to Adulthood
By Rolf Loeber, David P. Farrington, Magda Stouthamer-Loeber, Helene Raskin White, Evelyn Wei


  * Publisher:  Routledge
  * Number Of Pages:  432

  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780805852226
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

In Violence and Serious Theft, top experts in the field of delinquency discuss the implications of the findings of the Pittsburgh Youth Study for current conceptualizations of antisocial behavior. The volume is unique in that it combines the strengths of three disciplines to explain delinquency in young people: developmental psychopathology, criminology, and public health. The book addresses questions in two main areas: serious offending as an outcome over time and developmental aspects of serious offending; and factors which explain why some young males become violent and/or commit serious crime while others do not. Violence and Serious Theft is a resource for researchers, practitioners and students in developmental, school and counseling psychology; psychopathology, psychiatry, public health and criminology.

Theory of Legal Principles (Law and Philosophy Library)
By Humberto Avila


  * Publisher:  Springer
  * Number Of Pages:  154
  * Publication Date:  2007-05-18
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1402058780
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781402058783
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

This book intends to help understand and apply principles and rules better. Its target is to keep the distinction between principles and rules whereas structuring it on different foundations than those jurisprudence ordinarily employs. The first object of investigation is the phenomenon of interpretation in Law in order to understand that the classification of certain normative species as either principles or rules depends in the first place on axiological connections that are not ready prior to the interpretation process that unveils them. Then, a definition of principles is proposed, aiming to understand what their unique characteristics are when compared to other norms of the legal order. Thirdly, the conditions for the application of principles and rules are examined, which are the normative applicative postulates. It will be shown, on one hand, that principles not only explicit values, but also set forth precise species of behaviors, though indirectly; on the other hand, the creation of conducts by rules is also to be weighed, even though the behavior set forth in advance may be overcome, depending on the accomplishment of a few requirements. That will surpass both the mere praise of values, which does not create behaviors, and the automatic application of rules. A model is proposed to explain the normative species, which includes structured weighing on the application process while encompassing substantive criteria of justice in its argument, through the analytical reconstruction of the concrete use of normative postulates, especially those of reasonableness and proportionality. All of that is done with a focus on the ability of intersubjective control of the argumentation, which often degenerates into capricious decisionism.

Convergence in Shareholder Law (International Corporate Law and Financial Market Regulation)
By Mathias M. Siems


  * Publisher:  Cambridge University Press
  * Number Of Pages:  522
  * Publication Date:  2008-01-28
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0521876753
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780521876759
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

On the one hand, it can be argued that the increasing economic and political interdependence of countries has led to the convergence of national legal systems. On the other hand, advocates of the counterhypothesis maintain that this development is both unrealistic and unnecessary. Mathias Siems examines the company law of the UK, the USA, Germany, France, Japan and China to see how this issue affects shareholder law. The author subsequently analyses economic and political factors which may or may not lead to convergence, and assesses the extent of this development. Convergence of Shareholder Law not only provides a thorough comparative legal analysis but also shows how company law interconnects with political forces and economic development and helps in evaluating whether harmonisation and shareholder protection should be enhanced.

Sudden Deaths in Custody (Forensic Science and Medicine) (Forensic Science and Medicine)

  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1588294757
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781588294753
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

This comprehensive review of the medical, legal, psychological, and administrative aspects of violent restraint encounters offers insights into controlling such incidents. The authors assess the medical considerations in such cases, including how the stress
of an encounter may influence the physiological responses of the subject, how chemical substances may affect the behavior of and contribute to the death of the person in custody, and offer an explanation of the role of excited delirium. The authors also address the use of force involving neck holds, restraints, aerosols, tasers, and other physical restraints. Numerous examples illustrate the nature and problems associated with sudden in-custody restraint deaths, along with a survey of the issues involved in performing a custodial death investigation and the legal question of civil liability. The authors also discuss risk management strategies, policy and procedure concerns, training issues, subject monitoring, prisoner transportation, officer incident reporting, and investigating an incident from an agency perspective.
