Drawing on broader legal-political discourses within the party-state and institutionalised academia, this book shines a light on one of the most controversial legal principles in Chinese criminal justice: the presumption of innocence. It argues the reasons why there is no presumption of innocence in China, tracing the curve, or evolution, of academic discourse about presumption of innocence against the backdrop of changing politics, or varying emphases on national conditions, from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping. The book deepens our understanding of the trajectory of criminal justice reforms in the party-state and shows how the more open and liberal phases of the reform era opened up some space for pluralist views and constructive criticism. In comparison, the second wave of autocratisation of the system influenced the conception of the criminal and paved the way for an illiberal turn.

International Law in Asia

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.

How do we protect the human rights of displaced populations in a region largely operating outside global legal frameworks? What does looking beyond non-refoulement truly mean? How can protection and the re-establishment of lost agency be operationalized? With most Southeast Asian nations missing from the 1951 Refugee Convention, millions of forced migrants navigate volatile and ad-hoc legal environments.
 
 &nbsp;
 
 Grounded in a rigorous interdisciplinary research approach by combining Grounded Theory and socio-legal methodologies, this book delivers a definitive empirical analysis of how to operationalize and respect human rights on the ground; it bridges the critical gap between high-level policy and field realities, unpacking how academic staff, local NGOs, and international practitioners can collaborate to build actionable protection frameworks.
 
 &nbsp;
 
 This book also serves as an essential, research-backed reference for understanding human rights and navigating local legal exceptions across the ASEAN region. Most importantly, it emphasizes the need to understand regional context and realpolitik; it is only through a differentiated approach that better systems for migration and for asylum can be developed.

This book unveils Australia's paradoxical history as a human rights advocate and violator. With three decades of experience, the author delves into Australia's lapses, notably in arbitrary detention and Indigenous rights. Through insightful case studies, the book exposes discrepancies between Australia's commitments and actions, echoing UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's call for implementation: “We must move from an era of legislation to an era of implementation”.
Drawing from extensive legal expertise, the author not only highlights Australia's shortcomings but also proposes a groundbreaking global strategy to tackle international human rights challenges. With a focus on moving from rhetoric to action, the book provides specific recommendations for holding Australia accountable to its human rights obligations. A critical exploration of Australia's journey toward human rights accountability unfolds, urging readers to contemplate the challenges and prospects for change.

Comparative constitutional scholarship takes a variety of forms - including theoretical, doctrinal and empirical variants. This book offers guidance for scholars at all career stages in engaging in each of these forms of scholarship.The book shows how scholars can make rigorous yet realistic choices about the breadth of comparison, and their approach to case-selection, calibrated to their own comparative project and position within the field of comparative constitutional studies ('CCS'). Practical in tone and ambition, yet rich in theoretical and comparative examples and insights, the book offers an invitation to public law scholars globally to expand their comparative horizons; and a call to the field as a whole to give greater attention to theoretical and doctrinal scholarship, and single country, Southern and understudied jurisdictions.

How policing has fundamentally shaped the Latinx experience.The history of Latinx groups in the United States has been marked, from the beginning, by experiences of criminalization and violence at the hands of law enforcement. Marisol LeBrón argues that policing has left an indelible mark on Latinx communities across the country and has come to shape our understanding of what it means to be Latinx. Spanning the nineteenth century to the present, Policed examines how policing became a key component in the formation of Latinx identity and political consciousness, and still lies at the heart of many pressing issues confronting Latinx communities today, including immigration, employment, health, and housing. More than simply telling a story of police brutality and harassment, LeBrón powerfully shows that Latinx people have continually resisted state violence and worked to build a more liberated future.

Policed: Volume 19

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.

This open access edited volume acknowledges that when judges adjudicate climate change issues, their decisions are shaped by far more than positive law. Adopting a pluriversal, socio-legal and multidisciplinary approach, chapters engage with an array of 'extra-legal' factors that inform what happens inside courtrooms, of relevance for climate action more broadly. These factors include judges' psychology; who is appointed as a judge and how that process is designed; legal culture and philosophy; who litigates and how litigation strategies are designed; literature; counter-hegemonic knowledge production; political ecology; climate anxiety; and climate science. 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 Newcastle Law School (United Kingdom), the Department of Land Economy, Cambridge and Queens' College, Cambridge.
