The Secrets We Hide

The Rule of Law in Context

This book investigates core legal-political cultural myths of the Australian nation by canvassing, challenging and recasting some of the well-understood debates around, and invocations of, 'the rule of law' in Australia. It foregrounds one of the most enduring and prominent manifestations of these debates: claims to state sovereignty and rule of law in a system that has an incoherent legal foundation in its intentional ignorance of, and arbitrary violence perpetrated against, First Nations, their people, their sovereignty and their law. It examines the claims and celebrations of colonial rule of law achievements; constitutional rule of law protections; and the rule of law as tool to delineate and circumscribe the role of judges in the State. It presents a survey of the constitutional and legal principles and institutions and explores the socio-political aspects of rule of law in the country and how rule of law is experienced. With a focus on the legacy of the treatment of First Nations people, the book looks at how the Australia's rule of law institutions and machinery continue to exclude and fail vulnerable, marginalised and publicly reviled groups. Exploring these arguments through historical and contemporary case studies, including native title negotiations, anti-terrorism regimes, the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the push for constitutional enshrinement of a First Nations Voice, and the Royal Commission into the government's 'Robodebt' inquiry, this book shows the inescapable messiness of rule of law in Australia as a legal and political concept, instrumentalised and weaponised across its history.

Princeton Foundations of Contemporary Philosophy

How to understand a long-standing puzzle in political philosophy: the relationship between justice and legitimacy Can laws be unjust and yet remain, in some sense, morally legitimate? In this book, Jonathan Quong considers central issues in political philosophy through the lens of this single question. He explores and evaluates recent influential work on this topic and then proposes a novel approach of his own. The puzzle at the heart of his account is the phenomenon of legitimate injustice—laws and policies that are substantively unjust yet may be legitimately imposed by government officials. How can such laws be legitimate if, as some have argued, justice is the first virtue of social institutions? Quong analyzes the work of those who deny that injustice committed by states can be legitimate simply by virtue of its democratic or procedural pedigree; the Kantian account of legitimate institutions and justice; instrumental approaches to political legitimacy; and the recent wave of work in democratic theory focused on its egalitarian character. Arguing that these analyses do not offer an adequate solution to the puzzle and that there are compelling reasons to revise or reject them, Quong lays out his view and explains the implications for more general theories of political morality. He argues that we can explain legitimate injustice by appeal to distributive justice. If political disagreement is inevitable, then unjust legislation is largely unavoidable; it constitutes a burden that must be distributed according to just principles. Quong’s novel and illuminating framework offers a unique introduction to crucial questions in political philosophy.

Hart Monographs in Transnational and International Law

This book delves into the legal and labour history of the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq to explore the role international law and its institutions played in Iraq's state formation. Focusing on a turbulent period in global and Middle East history, it shows how the case of Iraq became a laboratory for experimentation with the concept of sovereignty by the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations in Geneva. This resulted in the development of a doctrine of 'semiperipheral sovereignty' to justify Iraq's independence from the Mandate process. This novel doctrine and its operation within the provisions of the 1930 Anglo- Iraq Treaty ensured the maintenance of British dominance over Iraq, especially to safeguard the extraction and transportation of its valuable oil resources to Western markets. The book traces how this legal doctrine impacted the everyday lives of working class Iraqis. It explores the governance of the extraterritorial spaces of capitalist accumulation and labour exploitation, in particular the Iraq Petroleum Company oil fi elds, the Iraq State Railways and the Port of Basra. It goes on to detail how the oil, railway and port workers led by the Iraqi Communist Party effectively organised themselves into a nationalist revolutionary labour movement. They waged an anti-colonial struggle against these imperial legal structures to improve their lot, leading up to the 1948 Wathba, the 1953 Intifada, and ultimately the July Revolution of 1958, which upended the British-sponsored monarchy. Spanning various international archives and Arabic primary source materials, this book offers an example of a social, legal and labour history written from below, centering ordinary working peoples' agency in the historiography of international law. Drawing on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and Marxist methodologies, it emphasises the signifi cance of the semi-periphery in the making of the international legal order.

A Trap For Two: The Sinful Sleuths Club

Legal transplant in the Meiji Restoration gave birth to 
 Taishinin
 , which is the former of today’s Supreme Court of Japan, but the objective of it was not solely for legal justice at the beginning. 
 Taishinin
 ’s criminalization of corruption as an offense was out of both legal and non-legal factors. Law is often unclear and general because legislator cannot foresee all 
 modus operandi
 in future. Judges’ judicial decision-making and sentencing practices have space to interpret it with opinions, discretion, legal consciousness and innovation for an immediate legal effect of criminal justice on society. This book applies robust judicial behavior concept to analyze how 
 Taishinin
 ’s judicial behavior of such factors rationalized its rulings on corruption cases. This is not only a matter of transplanted “Western jacket” of Germanic Penal Code, but also departmental internal instructions, integrity standards and traditional legal consciousness of unwritten codes of conduct. The original findings of this book reveal that 
 Taishinin
 ’s judicial behavior in corruption cases was subject to many non-legal considerations, such as historical development of anticorruption law, traditional jurisprudential concepts, mission of and commitment to judicial role, values, judge appointment, judicial training and the political impacts of Ministry of Justice’s administration of judiciary.&nbsp;

Taishinin’s Judicial Behaviour in Corruption Cases

When Jenny Evans was in her twenties, she was heady with the excitement of a promising acting career, but her world stopped when she was sexually assaulted by a man whose name was known in households everywhere - the 'Famous Man'. But this memoir isn't about him. Or what he did. It's about Jenny. The woman behind the headlines. After feeling like she'd lost herself, Jenny picked up the pieces and paved her way to a journey full of strength in the aftermath of devastation and fought back against the systems that caused her harm. Turning her hand to journalism, she investigated, and helped expose, the jaw-dropping press abuse and police corruption we now know as the 'phone hacking scandal'. But Jenny didn't stop there, now training as a lawyer, she's working to fight for justice in a system that so horrifically fails its victims. Don't Let it Break You, Honey is a powerful, deeply personal memoir that reflects on authority in fame, media, police and the patriarchy and questions whose voices we hear, whose story is believed and the rotten core of our institutions in which we place our trust. This is a story about saving yourself and fighting for the truth. This is the story of Jenny Evans.

Zeitgenössische Diskurse des Politischen

Sergej Seitz liefert eine umfassende Studie zum Verhältnis von Alterität und Politik. In Auseinandersetzung mit liberalen, deliberativen und radikaldemokratischen Theorieansätzen sowie im kritischen Anschluss an die Phänomenologie der Alterität (u.a. Levinas, Derrida) werden die Grundbegriffe politischen Denkens ausgehend vom Alteritätsmotiv neu bestimmt. Insofern sich politische Verhältnisse heute nicht mehr auf der Basis stabiler Identitäten beschreiben lassen, zielt der Band auf ein neues Denkbild des Politischen. 

Sergej Seitz leitet das Subprojekt "Conceptualizing Democratic Imagination" im Rahmen des ERC Advanced Grant "Prefiguring Democratic Futures" am Institut für Politikwissenschaft der Universität Wien.

Dieser Titel erscheint auch Open Access.
