Errors, Medicine and the Law
By Alan Merry, Alexander McCall Smith


  * Publisher
   :  Cambridge University Press
  * Number Of Pages:  260
  * Publication Date:  2001-08-27
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0521806313
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780521806312



Product Description:

Merry and McCall-Smith question the understandable, but often inappropriate, tendency to blame individuals for medical errors. They point out that the goal of safety is far better served by a sophisticated understanding of the difference between negligence and inevitable error, and by a frank recognition of just why human error occurs and how things go wrong in any complex system. Although medicine is used as the book's primary example, the points made apply equally to aviation, industrial activities, and many other fields of human endeavour.

Privacy at Risk: The New Government Surveillance and the Fourth Amendment
By Christopher Slobogin


  * Publisher
   :  University Of Chicago Press
  * Number Of Pages:  274
  * Publication Date:  2007-10-29
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0226762831
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780226762838



Product Description:

Without our consent and often without our knowledge, the government can constantly monitor many of our daily activities, using closed circuit TV, global positioning systems, and a wide array of other sophisticated technologies. With just a few keystrokes, records containing our financial information, phone and e-mail logs, and sometimes even our medical histories can be readily accessed by law enforcement officials. As Christopher Slobogin explains in Privacy at Risk, these intrusive acts of surveillance are subject to very little regulation.

Applying the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures, Slobogin argues that courts should prod legislatures into enacting more meaningful protection against government overreaching. In setting forth a comprehensive framework meant to preserve rights guaranteed by the Constitution without compromising the government’s ability to investigate criminal acts, Slobogin offers a balanced regulatory regime that should intrigue everyone concerned about privacy rights in the digital age.

EU CRIMINAL LAW AND JUSTICE (Elgar European Law Series)
By Maria Fletcher


  * Publisher:  Edward Elgar Pub
  * Number Of Pages:  232
  * Publication Date:  2008-11
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1845426975
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781845426972
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

Today, EU criminal law and justice constitutes a significant body of law potentially affecting most aspects of criminal justice. This book provides a comprehensive, accessible yet analytically challenging account of the institutional and legal developments in this field to date. It also includes full consideration of the prospective changes to EU criminal law contained in the recent `Lisbon Treaty'. While, broadly speaking, the authors welcome the objectives of EU criminal law, they call for a profound rethinking of how the good of criminal justice - however defined - is to be delivered to those living in the EU. At present, despite sometimes commendable initiatives from the institutions responsible, the actual framing and implementation of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) suffers from a failure to properly consider the theoretical implications of providing the good of criminal justice at the EU level.

Comprising a full overview of the key legal developments and debates and including a user-friendly guide to the prospective institutional changes contained in the `Lisbon Treaty', EU Criminal Law and Justice will be of interest to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as to legal practitioners and policy makers at national and EU levels.

  * Number Of Pages:  224
  * Publication Date:  2007-06-01
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  041577098X
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780415770989
  * Binding:  Hardcover


Product Description:

This book examines how the UN Charters prohibition of force restrains the actions of the major powers, treating the Charter as both an instrument of international peace and international order.

Since the Charter came into effect in 1945, there have been numerous incidents in which one or more of the five major powers have violated the Charters Article 2(4) prohibition of force. Given the frequency of these illegal uses of armed force, how does the Charters prohibition of force function as a restraint upon the actions of the major powers? The recent Iraq War and other incidents have demonstrated the major powerscontinued willingness to use armed force against other states, but the effects that the Charters prohibition of force has had in such incidents have not been examined thoroughly.

International Law and the Use of Armed Force examines five historical cases: US intervention in the Caribbean 1953-61, Franco-British intervention in Egypt in 1956,Soviet intervention in Hungary in 1956, US-British intervention in Iraq 1990-98 and US-British intervention in Iraq 1999-2003.

This book is for students of international relations, international law and war studies in general.

  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780813543215
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

Close to half of the world's population is below the age of criminal jurisdiction in most countries. Many of these young people are living in poverty and under totalitarian regimes. Given their deprived and often abject circumstances, it is not surprising that many of them become involved in crime.In "Youth, Crime, and Justice", Clayton A. Hartjen provides a broad overview of juvenile delinquency: how it manifests itself around the world and how societies respond to misconduct among their children. Taking a global, rather than country-specific approach, chapters focus on topics that range from juvenile laws and the correction of child offenders to the abuse, exploitation, and victimization of young people. Hartjen includes specific examples from the United States, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, New Zealand, Japan, India, Egypt, and elsewhere as he sorts through the various definitions of "delinquent" and explores the differences in behavior that contribute to these classifications. Most importantly, his in-depth and comparative look at judicial systems worldwide raises questions about how young offenders should be "corrected" and how much fault can be laid on misbehaving youths acting out against the very societies that produced them.This book: provides a global overview of youth crime, victimization, and juvenile justice; includes specific examples from the United States, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, New Zealand, Japan, India, Egypt, and elsewhere; and, is ideal for courses in delinquency and comparative criminal justice.

  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781865083223
  * Binding:  Paperback



Product Description:

Crime is the favourite topic of talk-back 'shock jocks' and self-important newspaper columnists. Lurid accounts of the doings of crims and corrupt cops, the use of mangled statistics, 'crime waves' and calls for politicians, judges, police (someone, anyone) to 'get tough on crime' always find an audience. 'Zero tolerance policing' and 'mandatory sentencing' are the latest demands of those trading on public anxiety.

Nicholas Cowdery knows the criminal justice system inside out. A noted advocate, he's decided to demolish the claims of those who dominate the airways in a series of crisp and witty essays which set the record straight.

Competence and Vulnerability in Biomedical Research (International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine) (International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine)
By Philip Bielby


  * Publisher
   :  Springer
  * Number Of Pages:  238
  * Publication Date:  2008-09-13
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1402086032
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781402086038
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

Enhanced knowledge of the nature and causes of mental disorder have led increasingly to a need for the recruitment of cognitively vulnerable participants in biomedical research. These individuals often fall into the grey area between obvious decisional competence and obvious decisional incompetence and, as a result, may not be recognised as having the legal capacity to make such decisions themselves. At the core of the ethical debate surrounding the participation of cognitively vulnerable individuals in research is when, if at all, we should judge them decisionally and legally competent to consent to or refuse research participation on their own behalf and when they should be judged incompetent in this respect.

In this book, the author develops a novel justificatory framework for making judgments of decisional competence to consent to biomedical research with reference to five groups of cognitively vulnerable individuals - older children and adolescents, adults with intellectual disabilities, adults with depression, adults with schizophrenia and adults with dementia, including Alzheimer s disease. Using this framework, the author argues that we can make morally defensible judgments about the competence or incompetence of a potential participant to give contemporaneous consent to research by having regard to whether a judgment of competence would be more harmful to the generic rights of the potential participant than a judgment of incompetence. The argument is also used to justify an account of supported decision-making in research, and applied to evaluate the extent to which this approach is evident in existing ethical guidelines and legal provisions. The book will be of interest to bioethicists as well as psychiatrists and academic medical lawyers interested in normative questions raised by the concepts of competence and capacity.

The Violence of Incarceration (Routledge Advances in Criminology)
By Phil Scraton, Jude McCulloch


  * Publisher:  Routledge
  * Number Of Pages:  272
  * Publication Date:  2008-08-01
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0415963133
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780415963138
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

Conceived in the immediate aftermath of the humiliations and killings of prisoners in Afghanistan and Iraq, of the suicides and hunger strikes at Guantanamo Bay and of the disappearances of detainees through extraordinary rendition, this book explores the connections between these shameful events and the inhumanity and degradation of domestic prisons within the 'allied' states, including the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK and Ireland.

The central theme is that the revelations of extreme brutality perpetrated by allied soldiers represent the inevitable end-product of domestic incarceration predicated on the use of extreme violence including lethal force. Exposing as fiction the claim to the political moral high ground made by western liberal democracies is critical because such claims animate and legitimate global actions such as the 'war on terror' and the indefinite detention of tens of thousands of people by the United States which accompanies it. The myth of moral virtue works to hide, silence, minimize and deny the brutal continuing history of violence and incarceration both within western countries and undertaken on behalf of western states beyond their national borders.

The Trouble with Terror: Liberty, Security and the Response to Terrorism
By Tamar Meisels


  * Publisher:  Cambridge University Press
  * Number Of Pages:  250
  * Publication Date:  2008-10-13
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0521899486
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780521899482
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

What is terrorism and can it ever be defended? Beginning with its definition, proceeding to its possible justifications, and culminating in proposals for contending with and combating it, this book offers a full theoretical analysis of the issue of terrorism. Tamar Meisels argues that, regardless of its professed cause, terrorism is diametrically opposed to the requirements of liberal morality and can only be defended at the expense of relinquishing the most basic of liberal commitments. Meisels opposes those who express sympathy and justification for Islamist (particularly Palestinian) terrorism and terrorism allegedly carried out on behalf of developing nations, but, at the same time, also opposes those who would tolerate any reduction in civil liberties in exchange for greater security. Calling wholeheartedly for a unanimous liberal front against terrorism, this is a strong and provocative attempt to address the tension between liberty and security in a time of terror.

Africa: Mapping New Boundaries in International Law (Studies in International Law)
By Jeremy I. Levitt


  * Publisher:  Hart Publishing (UK)
  * Number Of Pages:  339
  * Publication Date:  2008-03-24
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1841136182
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781841136189
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

The principal aim of this work is to provide a forum for leading international lawyers with experience and interest in Africa to address a broad range of intellectual challenges concerning the contribution of African states and peoples to international law. As such, the volume addresses orthodox topics of international law - such as jurisdiction and intervention - but tackles them from an African perspective, and seeks to ask whether, in each case, the African perspective is unique or affirms existing arrangements of international law. The book cannot come at a more important time. While international legal discourse has been captured by the challenge of terrorism since September 11, 2001, there are clear signs that other issues are returning to the fore. Political interest in Africa has undergone a global revival, and the OAU has been transformed into the African Union. Infrastructural challenges, along with those taking place in regional contexts, have effectively mapped a new politico-legal landscape for Africa. This, and more, is explored, and the key normative questions are addressed in a series of essays by leading Africanist scholars.

Terrorism and the Limitation of Rights: The ECHR and the US Constitution (Human Right's Law in Perspective)
By Stefan Sottiaux


  * Publisher:  Hart Publishing (UK)
  * Number Of Pages:  443
  * Publication Date:  2008-03-21
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1841137634
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781841137636
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

Taking as a starting point the widely accepted view that states confronted with terrorism must find a proper equilibrium between their respective obligations of preserving fundamental rights and fighting terrorism effectively, this book seeks to demonstrate how the design and enforcement of a human rights instrument may influence the result of that exercise. An attempt is made to answer the question how a legal order's approach to the limitation of rights may shape decision-making trade-offs between the demands of liberty and the need to guarantee individual and collective security. In doing so, special attention is given to the difference between the adjudicative methods of balancing and categorisation.The book challenges the conventional wisdom that individual rights, in times of crisis, are better served by the application of categorical rather than flexible models of limitation. In addition, the work considers the impact of a variety of other factors, including the discrepancies in enforcing an international convention as opposed to a national constitution and the use of emergency provisions permitting derogations from human rights obligations in time of war or a public emergency.The research questions are addressed through a comparative study of the terrorism-related restrictions on five fundamental rights protected under the European Convention on Human Rights and the United States Constitution: the right to freedom of expression, the right to freedom of association, the right to personal liberty, the right to privacy, and the right to a fair trial. The book offers both a theoretical account of the paradoxical relationship between terrorism and human rights and a comprehensive comparative survey of the major decisions of the highest courts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Rule Of Law Reform And Development: Charting the Fragile Path of Progress
By Michael J. Treblicock, Ronald J. Daniels


  * Publisher:  Edward Elgar Publishing
  * Number Of Pages:  372
  * Publication Date:  2008-08-30
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1847207545
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781847207548
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

This important book addresses a number of key issues regarding the relationship between the rule of law and development. It presents a deep and insightful inquiry into the current orthodoxy that the rule of law is the panacea for the world's problems. The authors chart the precarious progress of law reforms both in overall terms, and in specific policy areas such as the judiciary, the police, tax administration and access to justice, among others. They accept that the rule of law is necessarily tied to the success of development, though propose a set of procedural values to enlighten this institutional approach. The authors also recognise that states face difficulties in implementing this institutional structure and identify the probable impediments, before proposing a rethink of law reform strategies and offering some conclusions about the role of the international community in the rule of law reform.Reviewing the progress in the rule of law reform in developing countries, specifically four regions - Latin America, Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and Asia - this book makes a significant contribution to the literature. It will be of great interest to scholars and advanced students, as well as practitioners in the field, including international and bilateral aid agencies working on rule of law reform projects; and international and regional non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that focus on rule of law reform as a major aspect of their mandate.

International investment agreements set ground rules for how host governments treat foreign investors. This publication provides an unparalleled source of information on four key issues: the definition of investor and investment; the interpretation of umbrella
clauses in investment agreements; coverage of environmental, labour and anti-corruption issues; and the interaction between investment and services chapters in selected regional trade agreements. The "Definition of investor and investment" reviews the determinants of the scope of application of international investment treaties in light of recent state practice and jurisprudence. The article on the "Interpretation of the umbrella clause in investment agreements" sheds light on a controversial provision whose meaning has been disputed recently before international arbitral tribunals. "International Investment Agreements: A survey
on environmental, labour and anti-corruption issues" reviews the treatment of societal issues in 295 investment agreements and in related arbitration decisions. "The interaction between investment and services chapters in selected regional trade agreements" looks at the implications for investment protection and liberalisation of 20 treaties' investment and services chapters.

Corporate Governance
And China's H-Share Market (Corporations, Globalisation and the Law)

  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781847209078
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

Using detailed case studies of the first nine mainland Chinese companies to be listed on the Hong Kong stock-exchange (1993-94), Alice de Jonge examines the evolution of corporate governance law and culture in China's H-share market. A story emerges not of tensions between ideas of corporate governance from two different legal systems - Hong Kong vs. mainland Chinese - nor about legal convergence as China adopts concepts from Anglo-American jurisdictions. Rather, it is a story of individual firms being pragmatic in mediating the different agendas of state-agencies that own or control them."Corporate Governance and China's H-Share Market" looks at corporate governance in a cross-border context. It is unique in providing a detailed understanding of China's H-share market. It reveals why a beer company was the first ever Chinese firm to be listed overseas. This fascinating work will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars of corporate governance, Asian law and legal systems and Asian business, as well as Chinese scholars more generally. Professionals such as law practitioners working in Chinese law will also find the book of interest.
