International Law in Asia

This book is a scholarly compilation that explores the diverse and evolving landscape of public maritime law across Asia. This book provides an in-depth analysis of key legislative frameworks, safety and security measures, marine environmental governance, and seafarer welfare within the region. Divided into four thematic sections—Public Maritime Legislations, securing Maritime Safety, Prevention of Vessel-Source Pollution, and Seafarer Rights—the book features contributions from esteemed academics and professionals across Asia. It offers country-specific insights, comparative analyses, and case studies from nations such as South Korea, China, Vietnam, Mongolia, Singapore, and others. The work aims to highlight the unique challenges faced by Asian countries while addressing global maritime issues such as environmental sustainability, safety regulations, and human rights.
By bringing together diverse perspectives from experts across the region, the book contributes meaningfully to the discourse on maritime governance while supporting sustainable development and legal innovation in the Asian maritime sector. It serves as a valuable resource for legal scholars, policymakers, maritime professionals, and students interested in understanding the complexities of maritime governance in the Asian context.

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

This book traces, assesses and compares the history of conscientious objection – in the cultural context of eight developed democratic nations – from refusal of military service and a range of similar moral dilemmas, to objecting to abortion, to vaccination hesitancy and contemporary warfare. It considers the impact of this form of dissent in relation to social movements, social activists and whistle blowers. It reflects on the relationships between the sacred and the secular, the state and the citizen, in order to better understand the responsibilities of citizenship in our increasingly secular societies. It analyses what defines the conscientiousness of an objection from both legal and ethical standpoints. It explores the increased reliance on “grounds of religion, belief or conscience” as providing justification for excusing some citizens from complying with certain responsibilities – mandated by equality and non-discrimination legislation – that are binding for all others. By conducting a comparative evaluation of national law and judicial rulings on a fixed agenda of issues, this book identifies key jurisdictional differences concerning conscientious objection. In so doing, it highlights the importance of cultural context and constructs a jurisdiction-specific overview of legislation, policies and case law. By tracking policy developments and highlighting crucial judicial rulings – particularly in the US – it provides insights into the probable future direction of developments in national law relating to conscientious objection. Lastly, the book draws attention to some of the potential consequences of manifesting dissent by opting out of performing public services: the possible local breakdown of specific service availability (e.g. abortion); prompting population movements as established democratic civil rights are locally negated; fragmenting society into a geographic patchwork of regions in which some citizens are branded as conservative/reactionary and others as progressive. Conscientious objections carry profound implications for a coherent democratic society.

Organization, Management and Crime - Organisation, Management und Kriminalität

Corruption and anti-corruption have long been central public concerns in China, yet the organizational mechanisms through which corruption and anti-corruption operate remain poorly understood. This book takes bribery-offering by unit as its analytical entry point and combines a systematic analysis of 3,886 publicly released court records with in-depth interviews with judges, prosecutors, disciplinary and supervisory officials, and lawyers.
Focusing on visible court records, the book shows how corruption is produced and normalized at the organizational level, moving beyond explanations that reduce bribery to individual moral failure or market exchange. It introduces the perspective of “invisible corruption” to explore why certain bribery practices never enter judicial proceedings. By reconstructing the cognitive frameworks and professional reasoning of legal practitioners, it analyzes how organizational bribery is understood, categorized, and processed in judicial practice, and how legal decision-making is shaped by institutional constraints, political pressures, and organizational contexts. Situated at the intersection of sociology of law, organizational studies, and corruption research, this book offers new empirical and theoretical insights into China’s anti-corruption system.

About the Author Ting Wang received her PhD from Heidelberg University. Her research interests include corruption and anti-corruption, organizational crime, compliance and governance, and the relationship between law and society.&nbsp;

Studies in International Law

"This book provides clarity on the complex challenges of sea migration by offering a rule of law reading of the question, drawing on both black letter law and empirical data. This allows it to broaden the perspective of existing scholarship. It takes as its central case study the experience of Italy, exploring the legal issues in play there and its institutional practices and policies. It goes on look at the wider EU experience, particularly at the problems common to southern EU states. The book allows lawyers, political scientists and policymakers to truly engage with the challenges sea migration poses today"--

Responses to Sea Migration and the Rule of Law

Critical Criminological Perspectives

This book considers the lessons that can be gleaned from the Occupy movement, some 14 years after its inception. The Occupy movement brought with it many things, including a renewed interest in class and class struggle. Using the work of Nicos Poulantzas as its departure point, the book considers the theoretical and conceptual parameters of class structures under the most contemporary form of capitalism: the monopoly finance capitalist stage. An examination of state responses to the Occupy movement reveals the ability of the exploiting classes to maintain and reproduce the capitalist system via an expression of political power through the state and its tendency to deploy both ideological and physical defenses against any significant attacks on capitalism. The analysis offered reveals how some degree of anti-capitalist opposition is tolerated until such time that it must be forcefully censored and stopped, coined here as ‘the authoritarian state with a democratic alter-ego’, offering a nuanced conceptualization of state power for readers to explore and apply for themselves in other contexts. For the nature of the state to change significantly, social class agents need to find ways to access greater autonomy from the shackles of its power. This book explores the ways in which attempts to take up counterhegemonic class positions are persistently thwarted by a pervasive and yet intricately configured state power, backed by profit motivated corporate interest. It also poses urgent questions about the role and nature of alliances when trying to challenge both ideological and forcefully repressive state practices under capitalism. The book considers how we ‘find each other’ again in future struggles against capitalism and the attendant harms that it produces for the whole of humanity and the planet.

The Sociology Book

Law and Religion in a Global Context

This book is the first study to consider findings from sociology, legal anthropology, ethnology, legal pluralism, comparative law and theology in order to gain a better understanding of the diverse cultures of global Catholicism and the cross-cultural challenges arising from Roman Catholic canon law within the local churches. The author, renowned for her work at the intersection of socio-legal studies and canon law, examines the latter as a distinctive example of a European religious legal system that cuts across the myriad legal cultures of the local churches. In light of findings on legal transfer and legal colonialism, and by examining canon law within the emerging field of social and cultural studies approaches to law, her book sheds light on how canon law is imposed upon and received by the local churches around the world. It analyses the challenges and problems arising from the law’s transcultural claims within these churches. Based on these observations, the study discusses the critical stance of canon law within contemporary Catholicism and the current debates on a synodal reform of the church and its law.&nbsp; The book adopts different perspectives: As a sociological study, it describes the contemporary Eurocentrism of global canon law and the conflicts arising from it. As a theological study, it presents ecclesiological reasons for challenging the hegemony of global legislation. As a study of canon law, it suggests ways in which legislation could permit greater diversity while maintaining the unity of the universal church. By analysing canon law as a specific example of a religious legal order with cross-cultural ambitions and global claims, the book also contributes to the study of transnational law in general by illustrating the typical problems that accompany transnational legal regimes in both secular legal systems and religious groups.
This is an open access book.

Global Challenges in the Environmental Humanities

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to climate adjudication, this 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
