Studies in the History of Law and Justice

This book explores the comparability of conflict resolution mechanisms in East Asian and European traditional societies by focusing on Martin Dinges' concept of "Use of Justice," which is a working concept that focuses on the behavior of ordinary people in selecting and using various conflict resolution tools, not limited to courts. The study of early modern history in Europe has gained a new framework with this working concept, moving beyond the traditional framework of institutional history to focus on the actions of the parties to the conflict.The volume is divided into three parts. Parts I and II consist of individual studies based on archive researches. The authors, who are well versed in the various types of courts and regional records, use statistics and specific cases to show the actual images of the users of justice, their interaction with the authorities and the diverse ways in which justice was used by the people. Building on the empirical research of the first two parts, Part III develops various theoretical and methodological considerations of East-West comparability in analysing the research findings of Parts I and II. In this part (III) one can find reflections on whether or how comparability in "Use of Justice" research can be ensured, in which the inventor of the concept also participates.

A Comparative Study on the Privacy Frameworks in Big Data Credit Reporting

Focusing on legal science and its application, this book comprehensively examines the knowledge system, methodology, and values of judgment formation from theoretical jurisprudence to practical application. Tracing the development of legal science, the book analyzes the core connotations of legal rationality, emphasizing the certainty, scientific nature, and ethical aspects of judgments. Through a profound analysis of legal rationality, evidentiary methods, and judicial procedures in the context of adjudication, the book demonstrates how to achieve "good law and good governance" in judicial practice, providing theoretical guidance and practical direction for legal professionals.

This book examines the legal frameworks governing online safety in the Asia-Pacific, a region marked by diverse legal systems, rapid digital transformation, and varying levels of regulatory intervention. As cyber threats—including online harassment, misinformation, child exploitation, deepfake technology, cyberstalking, and personal data breaches—continue to escalate, governments across the region are busy strengthening their legal responses. While legal responses are ongoing, there is a scarcity of scholarly materials to analyse these responses from doctrinal and comparative legal perspectives.By drawing on case law, legislative texts, policy reports, and interviews with legal experts, the book provides a multidisciplinary analysis of how governments in the Asia-Pacific will approach online safety regulation in the coming years. It also incorporates comparative legal tables, case law summaries, enforcement case studies, and graphical representations of regulatory models to enhance accessibility and practical relevance for readers.As digital governance becomes increasingly complex, online safety laws in the Asia-Pacific will continue to evolve in response to emerging cyber threats and technological advancements. This book contributes to the ongoing academic and policy discourse by providing a systematic, forward-looking examination of the region’s legal frameworks. Through rigorous legal analysis and policy evaluation, the book offers crucial insights for shaping more effective, harmonised, and human rights-compliant online safety regulations in the Asia-Pacific.

Understanding Social Enterprise Law: The UK Experience

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

The contemporary significance of the subject “Social Rights, Inequalities and Affirmative Action” is indisputable. In periods of social polarization, conflict and crisis, it is imperative that the obligation of our societies to protect and promote social rights is addressed and acknowledged. It is also necessary to recognize the way in which social rights are jeopardized by inequalities that impede the cultivation of robust social relationships and to document instances of the implementation of affirmative actions in this scenario. The aims of this work are as follows: firstly, to establish general topics (part I); secondly, to undertake more specific investigations within the primary topic (part II); and thirdly, to address the challenges posed by the technological transition currently taking place in society, which has significant consequences for social rights, (in)equality, and affirmative action (part III). The study is organized into three sections corresponding to these targets. For the purposes of this study, the analysis will commence, in the Part I of this book, at the genesis of the debates, as outlined in the chapter concerning the old and the new forms of racism. This contribution is followed by a chapter on the growing recognition of intersectional discrimination in European and global human rights frameworks and by another on structural discrimination and the function of the law against unjust enrichment. To further explore and expand upon the subjects addressed in the preceding chapters, the final chapter of Part I of this book delves into the topic of affirmative action in the United States. The second part of this work is dedicated primarily to specific forms of affirmative action, thereby deepening the discussion initiated in the first part of this book. The initial topic examines the way in which the pandemic has impacted specific social groups and led to the emergence of health disparities in the UK. The subsequent chapter is devoted to an examination of the alterations in the benefits of minimum income support in Brazil in recent years. The fourth chapter undertakes a detailed investigation of a specific affirmative action program for children and adolescents with the objective of reducing violence in urban areas. The final chapter conducts an analysis of ageing, public policies and inclusion in Brazil. The third and final section is dedicated to an examination of the challenges faced by our technological societies. The field of “Social Rights, Inequalities and Affirmative Action” is set to be impacted by the regulation of artificial intelligence, the increasing digitalization of activities, and the development of new tools designed to enhance the efficiency of the social state. The initial chapter of the concluding section deals with the regulation of artificial intelligence in Brazil and the impacts of neurotechnology. The second study examines conservative digitalization and structural inequalities in Latin American information societies, while the final study focuses on the emergence of the social digital state and the use of instruments that produce inequality and discrimination.

Social Rights, Inequalities and Affirmative Action

This seminal volume provides a rigorous doctrinal analysis of contemporary slavery through the lens of criminal law and legal dogmatics. It addresses the modern paradox of universal prohibition coexisting with thriving exploitation, offering a robust instrument for law interpretation in both domestic and international courts.
The treatise is organized into four sections. Section I establishes conceptual foundations, diagnosing slavery as an organic product of structural vulnerability within the global neoliberal model rather than a historical anomaly. It further provides a profound constitutionalist perspective on human dignity, a concept essential for a comprehensive understanding of slavery.
Section II maps international standards, tracing the evolution of Article 4 of the ECHR and ILO benchmarks. It elucidates the critical shift from legal ownership to the de facto exercise of powers attaching to ownership, maintaining the severity threshold required to distinguish human rights violations from mere labour malpractice.
A cornerstone of the work is the Anti-Slavery Model Legislation (The Guide to Domestic Legislation) in Section III. This template defines and provides penal frameworks for ten stand-alone forms of exploitation, including slavery, servitude, and forced labour. This section also offers comparative analyses of European and South American legal landscapes.
Section IV addresses institutions of heightened criminal relevance, including the non-punishment provision for victims, complexities in global supply chains, and the challenges of “borderless” criminal jurisdiction. It tackles corporate “ubiquity” and “forum shopping,” proposing models to ensure accountability in fragmented productive networks.
By assembling preeminent legal scholars and practitioners, this book transcends sociological description to provide the dogmatic precision required to narrow the space of impunity. It serves as an indispensable resource for understanding how diverse jurisdictions regulate the most heinous affronts to human freedom and legal personality.

AI Regulation in Industry 5.0

This book reframes the question of how Africa industrializes, and is the first to address a key challenge facing African economies today: achieving structural transformation alongside decarbonization, i.e. industrializing and greening simultaneously, rather than sequentially as earlier developers did. 

Drawing on primary fieldwork across five national economies - Ethiopia, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa - and six strategic sectors, accounting for 40% of Africa's GDP and a third of its population, Arkebe Oqubay advances the concept of Green Productive Transformation, in which structural economic change and decarbonization are treated as mutually constitutive imperatives rather than competing objectives. The comparative evidence demonstrates that where government policy, industrial hubs, and firm capabilities are strategically aligned, productive transformation and green transformation reinforce each other; where they are not, industrial growth follows the path of least environmental resistance, producing carbon lock-in. 

Just transition and energy transition frameworks are designed primarily with industrialized economies in mind. This book challenges the utility of these frameworks for Africa, and instead advances a domestically-driven alternative, grounded in structural transformation theory, green industrial policy, and the political economy of late development. No single green pathway exists for Africa: the evidence presented here reveals conditional pathways shaped by national context, sectoral configuration, and policy choice. A green, productive Africa is not an inevitable outcome of global technological change, but it is genuinely within reach, and the first step is getting the analysis right.

Greening African Economic Development

In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management.
