Download or read book Responsibility written by Ghassan Hage and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of responsibility permeates social life. While it has many meanings, they often centre around questions of practical and moral accountability, culpability and liability. One can learn a great deal about a social formation by looking at the way the meanings of responsibility are deployed within it, the way they vary from one social space to another, and the way they are often at the centre of a political struggle over how we define and apportion blame. The essays in this book do more than examine such processes. Each in its own way also invites the reader to push existing assumptions about what individual, political, ecological and corporate responsibility entails.

Download or read book Children s Rights and the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility written by Don Cipriani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children of almost any age can break the law, but at what age should children first face the possibility of criminal responsibility for their alleged crimes? This work is the first global analysis of national minimum ages of criminal responsibility (MACRs), the international legal obligations that surround them, and the principal considerations for establishing and implementing respective age limits. Taking an international children's rights approach, with a rich theoretical framework and the vitality of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this work maintains a critical perspective, such as in challenging the assumptions of many children's rights scholars and advocates. Compiling the age limits and statutory sources for all countries, this book explains the broad historical origins behind most of them, identifying the recurring practical challenges that affect every country and providing the first comprehensive evidence that a general principle of international law requires all nations, regardless of their treaty ratifications, to establish respective minimum age limits.

Download or read book A Global Labour Law written by Adalberto Perulli and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the prospects of a global labour law system. Global labour law is understood as a still non-coherent set of norms that at different levels and with different legal effectiveness regulate legal labour relations, promote respect for fundamental social rights, and condition the behavior of the multinational enterprise, from a social justice and sustainability perspective. The book deals with both international labour law and regulatory instruments of different kinds, such as social clauses in international trade treaties or corporate codes of conduct, transnational collective bargaining, and EU directives on due diligence. This complex normative “system” is partly reconstructed and partly subjected to critique, with the aim of producing a hybrid handbook in which the elements of normative knowledge are accompanied by problematic reasoning about the forms, contents and purposes of a possible global labour law. The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Labour Law, Employment Law, International Human Rights Law and Social Justice.

Download or read book Freedom s Price written by S. A. Eddie and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is usually claimed that serfs were oppressed and unfree, but is this assumption true? Freedom's Price, building on a new reading of archival material, attempts a fundamental re-appraisal of the continuing orthodoxy that a 'serf' economy embodied peasant exploitation. It reveals that, in fact, Prussian 'subject' peasants fared much better than their 'free' neighbours; they had mutual rights and obligations with nobles and the state. In this volume, Sean Eddie seeks to establish the true 'price of freedom' paid by the peasants both in the so-called Second Serfdom around 1650 and in the enfranchisement of 1807-21. Far from representing further exploitation, the peasants drove a hard bargain, and many nobles subsequently fared worse than their tenants; subjection was abolished and land ownership was transferred from noble to peasant. Capital was therefore at the centre of the pre-capitalist economy, and the growing economic polarization of society owed more to the peasants' access to capital than to noble exploitation. By locating Prussian serfdom and reforms in a pan-European context, and within debates about the nature of economic development, feudalism, and capitalism, Freedom's Price targets a wider audience of early modern and modern European historians, economic historians, and interested general readers.

Download or read book My Brother s Keeper written by Amitai Etzioni and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2003-04-16 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In My Brother's Keeper: A Memoir and a Message, one of America's most admired public figures tells the story of his life. Born in Germany in 1929, Amitai Etzioni escaped the Nazi regime and as a teenager dropped out of high school to fight as a commando in the Israeli War of Independence. He went on to earn his doctorate at Berkeley, teach at Columbia University and Harvard Business School, and serve as senior advisor to the Carter White House. Although he has authored or edited over 20 books, Dr. Etzioni's influence extends beyond academic circles as the founder of the communitarian social movement. In his own words, Dr. Etzioni reflects on his vision of a society whose members care profoundly about one another, assume responsibilities and do not just demand rights, and attend not merely to themselves, but also to the common good. He traces how this message spread and is playing a significant role in the public life of the United States, United Kingdom, and many other free and liberated societies. Clearly and engagingly written, Dr. Etzioni's vision and story are at once compelling and inspiring.
