Download or read book The Code of Capital written by Katharina Pistor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. What is it, exactly, that transforms mere wealth into an asset that automatically creates more wealth? The Code of Capital explains how capital is created behind closed doors in the offices of private attorneys, and why this little-known fact is one of the biggest reasons for the widening wealth gap between the holders of capital and everybody else. In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively "codes" certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital - and lawyers are the keepers of the code. Pistor describes how they pick and choose among different legal systems and legal devices for the ones that best serve their clients' needs, and how techniques that were first perfected centuries ago to code landholdings as capital are being used today to code stocks, bonds, ideas, and even expectations--assets that exist only in law. A powerful new way of thinking about one of the most pernicious problems of our time, The Code of Capital explores the different ways that debt, complex financial products, and other assets are coded to give financial advantage to their holders. This provocative book paints a troubling portrait of the pervasive global nature of the code, the people who shape it, and the governments that enforce it."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book The Impact of Information on Modern Humans written by Elena G. Popkova and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features contributions from various spheres of socio-humanitarian sciences presented at the scientific and practical conference on “Humans as an Object of Study by Modern Science,” which took place in Nizhny Novgorod (Russian Federation) on November 23–24, 2017. The conference was organized by Kozma Minin Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University and the non-profit organization “Institute of Scientific Communications.” Presenting the results of multidisciplinary studies as well as new approaches, the target audience of the book includes postgraduates, lecturers at higher educational establishments, and researchers studying socio-humanitarian sciences. The complex study of humans by representatives of various socio-humanitarian sciences (philosophy, pedagogics, jurisprudence, social sciences, and economics) allows a comprehensive concept of the field to be developed. Selecting humans as an object of research opens wide possibilities for studying various issues related to their activities, while considering humans within multiple sciences means that the methods of induction and deduction can be combined to achieve precise results. This book includes the results of leading scientific studies on the following key issues: establishment of an information economy under the influence of scientific and technical progress: new challenges and opportunities; information and communication technologies as a new vector of development of the modern world economy; specifics and experience of using new information and communication technologies in developed and developing countries; problems of implementing new information and communication technologies in the modern economy; and priorities of using new information and communication technologies in the modern economy.

Download or read book The Law of Agriculture in the Mishnah and the Tosefta 3 vols written by Jacob Neusner and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 2811 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project presents in three volumes the Mishnah’s and the Tosefta’s first division, Zera‘im (Agriculture), organized in eleven topical tractates, together with a systematic history of the law of Zeraim in the Mishnah. To the exposition of the Halakhah on the chosen topic, the Mishnah-tractates are primary but complemented by the Tosefta’s presentation of its collection of glosses of the Mishnah’s law and supplements to that law. The Mishnah’s and the Tosefta’s tractates are integrated, with the Tosefta’s complement given in the setting of the Mishnah’s rules, and the whole is given in English translation. The presentation in each case encompasses an introduction, a form-analytical translation and commentary, a systematic integration of the Tosefta’s compositions into the Mishnah’s laws, an explanation of the details of the law, and an inquiry into how the Halakhah of the Mishnah and that of the Tosefta intersect, item by item.

Download or read book Transforming the Hong Kong Legal Machine written by Man-Chung Chiu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the law in relation to how it has responded to sexual and gender issues in the context of Hong Kong, and addresses the implications of those responses for the global context. It aims to develop a localized theory of justice which enables the analysis of multiple socio-legal issues arising in Hong Kong, a predominantly Han-Chinese society in Greater China, while also offering formulations for corresponding solutions. Unlike other books on Hong Kong jurisprudence and socio-legal studies, this book not only compares and contrasts different theories of justice, but also attempts to generate a philosophical perspective which can synchronize and re-organize a range of theoretical components via the lens of localization. The author investigates theories of justice developed, respectively, by Rawls, Deleuze, Lacan, Žižek and from the perspective of Mahāyāna Buddhism, as well as (Orthodox) Han-Chinese Confucianism and Daoism. The book applies these theoretical perspectives in analyzing different socio-legal issues in post-97 Hong Kong, including transgender rights to marriage, domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse and race. The book concludes by proposing singular possible strategies, which include Degenderization, Desexualization, De-ageing, by which justice(s) can hopefully be re-manufactured and challenged. This book is relevant to researchers and students of law, philosophy, sociology, gender studies and cultural studies.

Download or read book Legal Method and the Rule of Law written by Sebastián Urbina and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-08-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We cannot see the world as it is because we face it in a 'contaminated' vein. That is, our conceptual scheme and biological constitution condition our world view. The legal normative world we are dealing with has some special features, like the primacy of practical reason over theoretical reason and the primacy of the internal point of view over the external point of view. Although it is not a feature of all legal traditions, 'legal dogmatics' is a privileged way of knowing legal normative object, that is, our legal orders. But we are not undertaking - as legal scholars - an empiricist enterprise because, among other reasons, we are not interested in the reality 'in itself' but in the 'relevant' reality, at least for us. In this respect, we do not only depend on theories (like physicists) but also on legal authoritative sources, that is, power and legitimacy. Legal scholars (and other participants in the legal life) are not neutral observers of their own world, trying to discover some hidden truth. They are committed experts trying to describe, justify and improve the legal order.

Download or read book Exporting the Matrix written by Richard N. Winfield and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exporting the Matrix presents the personal accounts of fifteen leading media law experts who have worked pro bono helping transitional democracies adopt progressive media laws. Their experiences and insights in helping to shape press laws abroad make for compelling reading. Several essays provide practical advice for lawyers working abroad on a variety of development projects. Some describe the laws undergoing reform, while others assess the progress that American lawyers have made, with their counterparts abroad, in creating less hostile legal environments. These accounts vindicate the book''s theme, that "Freedom of thought and speech...is the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom." "Overall, EXPORTING THE MATRIX will be useful as a supplemental text to American students and scholars in journalism, law, and international studies in developing what Winfield has aptly called a ''reverse perspective'' on press freedom (''Globalization Comes to Media Law,'' p.116). The book is refreshingly accessible as a resource on media law issues in some of the rarely noticed countries and regions (see the ''Pursuing Elusive Freedom in West Africa'' chapter). Whether as a matter of media law practice or teaching and research, we do need more such books in making the international marketplace of ideas closer to reality." -- Law and Politics Book Review "This book is full of inspiring dispatches from a new breed of secular missionaries -- lawyers who, free of charge, take First Amendment freedoms to foreign lands. With humility and tenacity, they are arming courageous journalists with weapons against sedition, criminal defamation, contempt by ''scandalising the court'', Napoleonic insult laws and other colonial devices which governments use to silence and jail their critics. Freedom of Expression is the key both to political liberty and to combating corruption -- this book shows why it is a universal right, and not a western luxury." -- Geoffrey Robertson, QC, leading British human rights and media law barrister; distinguished jurist member of the UN Justice Council; former appeals judge on the UN Special Court for Sierra Leone. "Exporting the Matrix is an indispensable compendium of insight, experience and guidance in the world of global media reform work. No practitioner in the legal field or the not-for-profit community working on media law and media reform can afford not to have this book within fingertip reach. Besides the fascinating stories of reform abroad, much of it in very difficult circumstances, the book highlights the superb work of the International Senior Lawyers Project. These tough-minded men and women are the professionals who dig into chaotic legal structures with sleeves rolled up and push and prod for genuine progress. They are champions of the art. IREX has benefited from their expertise on many occasions, and we look forward to more years of cooperation in a great cause -- media freedom." -- W. Robert Pearson, career diplomat and expert in international affairs; President, International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), 2008 to present; U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, 2000-2003; Director General of the U.S. Foreign Service, 2003-2006. "This creative and engaging collection of essays on freedom of speech and press abroad transcends national boundaries and the barriers imposed both by legal doctrine and governmental constraint. The central theme of Exporting the Matrix is an eloquent appeal to repressive and benighted censors to seek freer and more open exchange of ideas, views and values. At a time of confusion (indeed chaos) in many parts of the world, this book offers a strikingly hopeful message from a group of eminent authors, drawn from their rich worldwide media experience." -- Robert O''Neil, prominent First Amendment scholar; President, University of Virginia, 1985-1990; founder and director, Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Freedom of Expression (1990-2011). "This collection of essays from around the world reminds us how much the recent Arab Spring owes to the ability of ordinary people to express publicly their views and demands for change. An expression of dissent that started in Tunisia rippled across the region carried by a wave of voices of so many people who are demanding their democratic rights." -- Richard J. Goldstone, appointed by President Nelson Mandela as a judge on the Constitutional Court of South Africa, 1996-2003; first chief prosecutor for the UN International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, 1994-1996. "This collection of very personal essays by media law experts reminds us that the spirit of free speech is alive and kicking the world over. Unfortunately, so is the urge of those in power to stifle dissident. But the experience of these authors show that the right kind of legal intervention really can help curb censorship and enable a free media. Chronicling examples from Japan to Bosnia to Qatar, and recalling successes as well as failures (as much is learnt from the latter as the former), this book inspires. As Darian Pavli, author of the foreword and himself provider as well as erstwhile recipient of pro bono legal advice, says, international legal experts were once defined as ''those who come from afar''. But the experiences collected here show that so long as they come armed with experience, a solid legal analysis and are sensitive to local context, their contribution will go very far. And along the way, the ''experts'' themselves are invariably reminded why they became lawyers themselves. A rewarding read." -- Peter Noorlander, Chief Executive, Media Legal Defence Initiative, London; prominent international media and human rights lawyer. "One of our nation''s most treasured creations is its First Amendment protections of freedom of expression. It is also one of our most meaningful exports. In this enlightening and uplifting publication, senior American lawyers describe their dedicated and sensitive efforts in participating, throughout the world, in pro-freedom international media reform. One need not be senior, a lawyer, or an American to honor their extraordinary contributions or to be fascinated by their well-told experiences." -- Floyd Abrams, pre-eminent First Amendment lawyer, handled major press freedom cases in the U.S. Supreme Court; author of Speaking Freely: Trials of the First Amendment. "Exporting the Matrix is more than a primer on how to effectively advocate for broader free expression rights in other countries. Collectively, the essays also serve as an important reflection on the successes and failures of a generation of individuals who have dedicated much of their lives to working on an incredibly complex problem. That is, the book should certainly inform the types of programs--and the contours of their policy goals--that international organizations support in the future as they seek to provide journalists around the globe with greater press freedoms. In this regard, although the essayists were looking back on their efforts, the collection outlines a path forward on how future campaigns might be more effective and ultimately enhance press freedoms abroad ... Exporting the Matrix is not just for those interested in working abroad to expand press freedoms. The captivating stories and the insights gleaned from the reflections of these free speech pioneers serve as a meaningful reminder of the hard work, deft lawyering, and careful drafting that went into establishing the broad and, in many ways, unparalleled press freedoms that U.S. journalists enjoy." -- Communications Lawyer

Download or read book The Construction of Commercial Contracts written by JW Carter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book adopts a principled approach to the law applied in the construction of commercial contracts. This approach is presented as part of a coherent theory of the law of contract construction which makes a unique contribution to scholarship and understanding of the most important aspect of the practice of commercial lawyers. The law is explained by reference to three stages in construction. It distinguishes the preliminary stage in which context is established, from the 'meaning' and 'application' stages of contract construction. The approach provides insights both into the practical problems that lawyers face, in particular in relation to admissibility of extrinsic evidence, and the theoretical underpinnings of the subject. The book also explains the relationship between intention and construction, and discusses general and specific rules that determine the results of construction disputes. Each chapter is introduced by statements of its objectives and the book includes simple definitions of key concepts, as well as summaries of the complex principles which comprise the law of construction. In illustrating construction principles and their application, the exposition of the law draws on the author's knowledge of Australian contract law and the influence and role of the UNIDROIT principles, CISG and the American Restatement (Second) Contracts.

Download or read book The Law of Interactions Between International Organizations written by Henner Gött and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyses how international law addresses interactions between international organizations. In labour governance, these interactions are ubiquitous. They offer each organization an opportunity to promote its model of labour governance, yet simultaneously expose it to adverse influence from others. The book captures this ambivalence and examines the capacity of international law to mitigate it. Based on detailed case studies of mutual influence between the International Labour Organization, the World Bank, and the Council of Europe, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the pertinent law and its key challenges, both at institutional and inter-organizational level. The author envisions a law of inter-organizational interactions as a normative framework structuring interactions and enhancing the effectiveness and legitimacy of multi-institutional governance.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Mental Health Law written by Brendan D. Kelly and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health law is a rapidly evolving area of practice and research, with growing global dimensions. This work reflects the increasing importance of this field, critically discussing key issues of controversy and debate, and providing up-to-date analysis of cutting-edge developments in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Australia. This is a timely moment for this book to appear. The United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) sought to transform the landscape in which mental health law is developed and implemented. This Convention, along with other developments, has, to varying degrees, informed sweeping legislative reforms in many countries around the world. These and other developments are discussed here. Contributors come from a wide range of countries and a variety of academic backgrounds including ethics, law, philosophy, psychiatry, and psychology. Some contributions are also informed by lived experience, whether in person or as family members. The result is a rich, polyphonic, and sometimes discordant account of what mental health law is and what it might be. The Handbook is aimed at mental health scholars and practitioners as well as students of law, human rights, disability studies, and psychiatry, and campaigners and law- and policy-makers.
