Is shrimp becoming Ecuador's new oil&nbsp;– and at what cost? Valerie Lenikus uncovers the political-economic drivers and the socio-ecological implications of extractivism: how export-led aquaculture has razed mangroves, displaced coastal livelihoods, and sharpened struggles over land and natural resources. Based on the Latin American debate on extractivism, historical conditions and inequalities, and the controversial constitution of 2008, the complex power relations on different spatial levels are depicted, linking the central role of the state and its policies with concrete struggles of communities.

Conflicts and Power Relations in Ecuador's Shrimp Sector

Tides of Extraction

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

Power and Domination and Other Essays

Modern Studies in European Law

This book explores what judges do and how they perceive their roles in the context of growing dissensus over liberal democracy. Focusing on the European landscape, it asks eighteen judges how they perceive their roles when judicial independence and democracy are under pressure. The book features interviews with judges from various EU and non-EU Member States and courts, complemented by a series of academic commentaries discussing the relationship between law and politics in times of dissensus over liberal democracy. Each narrative reveals unique personal experiences and reflections, shedding light on the role of the judiciary and the rule of law in the face of contemporary challenges. While the book engages with these issues through European narratives, its findings contribute to broader debates beyond Europe and the EU.

Insights from European Judges

Dissensus over Liberal Democracy

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

Global Challenges in the Environmental Humanities

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to climate adjudication, this open access book addresses how adjudicators decide cases by considering the influence of psychology, philosophy, legal education, film, literature, political economy, political ecology, judicial appointments, history, and climate science on their decision-making and ultimately on the (inconsistent) outcomes in climate cases. Drawing upon the humanities, science of climate change and/or social sciences to identify extra-legal factors that may drive the decision-making processes and outcomes of climate cases, this book uses case studies from different jurisdictions across the globe, addressing climate cases decided or pending in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America, and Oceania. In all, the volume will: - Engage with extra-legal influence to how show judges and arbitrators make their decisions in climate cases, shedding light on the inconsistent responses that climate cases have generated so far - Challenge assumptions of legal universalism, by recognising differences in how the law works in various - Inform actors involved in climate litigation (lawyers, judges, arbitrators, disputants), policymakers, and the public about how cases are decided. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Universities of Cambridge, Newcastle and Oxford.

Exploring Extra-Legal Factors

Adjudicating Climate Change

Hart Studies in Constitutional Theory

This book provides a novel judicial framework for receiving and considering religious and cultural claims in shaping human rights in constitutional secular democracies. It does this through an extended case study of the Indian constitutional jurisprudence. Abortion and surrogacy, LGBTQ + rights, sex work and euthanasia are arguably the most controversial human rights issues of our time. They all invite passionate religious and cultural debate but are not themselves religious or cultural rights issues. Instead, they pose a fundamental constitutional question: How far can religion and culture go in shaping general human rights in secular constitutional democracies? Moving beyond the logic of individual rights, this book provides an integrated and holistic approach to answering this classic question of constitutional law. To do this, it proposes an innovative empirically backed normative-theoretical framework which synthesises insights from cultural psychoanalysis, feminist legal scholarship, socio-legal method, constitutional law, evidence law, and political theory. It looks at a unique constellation of cases belonging to eight different human rights themes covering the period since India's independence in 1947 and systematically analyses the religious and cultural claims made in those cases. It finds that in India, a more holistic approach to answering our classic constitutional puzzle requires a simultaneous consideration of three different theories: A theory of constitutional interpretation which formulates restrictions on a judge considering religious and cultural claims in fundamental rights cases; A theory of judicial notice which determines when such claims can be admitted without proof; A theory of secularism and public reason which argues that the claims must be given weight in the final decision only if they match defensible conceptions of constitutional values. The book develops these theories and applies them to the Indian cases, providing an innovative approach to an age-old question.

Digital Rule of Law

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic futureIn a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; grocer Anthony Pena, who turned his frustrations with big box stores into a new grocers movement; and Doha Mekki, a Sudanese immigrant who developed the first successful criminal wage-fixing case for the Department of Justice; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism. Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

Law for Professionals

Die neue EU-Richtlinie über die Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD) ist bereits in Kraft und wird nach den jüngsten Änderungen auf EU-Ebene schrittweise ab 2028 für große Unternehmen und Konzerne EU-weit anwendbar. &nbsp;Sie verpflichtet Unternehmen, Menschenrechts- und Umweltstandards entlang ihrer gesamten Wertschöpfungskette zu prüfen, Risiken zu mindern und Abhilfe zu schaffen – mit Geldbußen bis zu 3 % des weltweiten Nettojahresumsatzes.
Für die Compliance-Welt markiert die CSDDD einen Paradigmenwechsel: Während sich Compliance bislang vor allem auf die eigene Organisation und den Selbstschutz konzentrierte, verlangt die Richtlinie nun Verantwortung über die Unternehmensgrenzen hinaus. Unternehmen müssen nicht nur ihr eigenes Verhalten steuern, sondern auch prüfen, wie ihre Geschäftspartner, Lieferanten und Auftragnehmer mit Menschenrechten, Umwelt und Ethik umgehen und welche bislang wenig beachteten Risiken in der Lieferkette bestehen. Auch Unternehmen, die nicht direkt CSDDD-pflichtig sind, werden diese Anforderungen in der Praxis zu spüren bekommen: CSDDD-pflichtige Kunden werden mit Nachdruck versuchen, Verantwortung und Pflichten weiterzugeben sowie Audit- und Kontrollrechte, Informationspflichten, Geschäftspartnerprüfungen und Compliance-Standards bei ihren Lieferanten einzufordern.
Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Unternehmen die CSDDD rechtlich fundiert, praxisorientiert und zugleich wirtschaftlich sinnvoll umsetzen können. Es verbindet juristische Anforderungen mit praktischen Leitlinien aus Compliance-, Risiko- und Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement und macht deutlich: Lieferkettensorgfalt ist keine Bürde, sondern eine strategische Chance.
Ausgehend von der historischen Entwicklung (Rana Plaza, Deepwater Horizon, UN-Leitprinzipien) werden die zentralen Pflichten der Richtlinie (Risikomanagement, Prävention, Abhilfe, Berichterstattung) erläutert und in konkrete Handlungsschritte übersetzt – inklusive Governance-Strukturen, Vertragspraxis, Due-Diligence-Tools, Schulung und Stakeholder-Kommunikation. Dabei werden immer wieder Unternehmensbeispiele und praktische Referenzen herangezogen, um zu zeigen, wie Unternehmen vergleichbare Herausforderungen bereits adressiert haben oder welche Lehren sich aus prominenten Fällen ziehen lassen. Ein eigenes Kapitel zeigt, wie Unternehmen durch glaubwürdige Umsetzung Vertrauen, Reputation und Wettbewerbsvorteile aufbauen. Das Buch richtet sich an Unternehmen jeder Größe, die CSDDD-Pflichten direkt oder indirekt betreffen, und liefert pragmatische Roadmaps für Compliance-Verantwortliche, Juristen, Nachhaltigkeitsmanager, Einkäufer, Risikomanager und Entscheidungsträger.
