The renowned co-author of The Spirit Level shows us the way.'An uplifting vision for solving inequality that benefits everyone' ANDY BURNHAM'Poverty and inequality are at the heart of all our problems.

How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all?In this inspiring book, world-leading social scientist Kate Pickett shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well, and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health, care, education and rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most.

Where to Retire

For more than two decades, Marwan Barghouti has been held in an Israeli prison cell, much of that time in total isolation. Yet his voice has never been forgotten.Described by the Economist as 'the world's most important prisoner' and often referred to as Palestine's Mandela, Barghouti remains the most widely supported Palestinian political leader. As a long-standing advocate of peace grounded in justice and equality, he has become an enduring symbol of unity and hope - even from behind bars.Unbroken brings together, for the first time, a powerful and intimate portrait of Barghouti's life and struggle for a free Palestine: private letters to his family, personal writings, correspondence with global public figures, press interviews, public statements and rare personal photographs.This is his story, in his own words. Unsilenced, unbroken.

In Pursuit of Freedom for Palestine

Constitutionalism in Asia

This book presents an in-depth interrogation of the theory and application of the Basic Structure Doctrine in the Federation of Malaysia. The Basic Structure Doctrine, famously introduced in the 1973 Indian Supreme decision of Kesavananda Bharati v State of Kerala AIR - which held that certain core or fundamental features in the Constitution of India could not be amended by Parliament even if it met all procedural requirements - was initially rejected when it was first argued in Malaysia in the 1975 case of Loh Kooi Choon v Government of Malaysia and lay dormant for the next three decades. Judicial winds shifted in 2010 when Malaysia's apex court, the Federal Court, cited Kesavananda with approval in the case of Sivarasa Rasiah v Badan Peguam Malaysia &amp; Anor, and observed that it was 'clear from the way in which the Federal Constitution is constructed that there are certain features that constitute its basic fabric' and that 'any statute (including one amending the Constitution) that offends the basic structure may be struck down as unconstitutional.' In a quick succession of cases, the Federal Court cemented this doctrine in Malaysia's jurisprudence and deployed it to defend the court's judicial power. These widely-publicised cases generated much debate beyond the legal fraternity and judiciary and often polarised different sectors of Malaysian society. This collection of essays responds to this extremely important debate on the limits of constitutional amendments as a form of constitution-making in Malaysia by considering the theory behind the Basic Structure Doctrine and critically examining how it has been harnessed by the Federal Court and by other political actors - most notably Islamists and secularists; and royalists and republicans - on the ground.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies--the United States and China--have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments--from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI--Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past--such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain--ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term--findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

Technology, Innovation, and the Fate of Nations

How Progress Ends

This book honours a remarkable legal thinker, David Feldman, whose influence on public law and on multiple generations of legal scholars and practitioners has been profound. It provides a unique set of insights into some of the most topical and enduring questions in public law (broadly conceived), through the reflections of a stellar line-up of contributors on key dimensions of David Feldman's rich body of work. Each chapter constitutes an original and important contribution to the field, taking David Feldman's seminal writings as a starting-point and developing contemporary, distinctive analytical perspectives. Like David Feldman's work itself, the book ranges across - and acknowledges and explores the porous relationships between - constitutional law, administrative law and human rights and civil liberties.

The Mosaic of Public Law

This open access book establishes an interpretative framework by means of a functionalist-originalist reading of EU law and comparative federalism, in particular US constitutional law. The EU is undergoing one of the most profound structural crises of its history, relating to the rule of law and fundamental rights. The author conceptualises the existential question in terms of ontology, constitutional legitimacy, doctrine and institutional process. By providing the first conceptual methodology (based on comparative federalism and focusing on law and rights) the book develops proposals which can be used to address the EU's current constitutional challenges. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Enforcing Founding Values Against Member States

The Diagonality Problem of European Constitutionalism

This classic textbook provides a thorough overview of European private international law. It is essential reading for students and practitioners of private international law and transnational litigation, wherever they may be located: the European rules extend beyond European shores. Opening with foundational questions, the book clearly explains the subject's central tenets: the Brussels I, Rome I and Rome II Regulations (jurisdiction, applicable law for contracts and tort). Additional chapters explore private international law and insolvency, freedom of establishment, and the impact of private international law on corporate social responsibility. The relevant Hague instruments, and the impact of Brexit, are fully integrated in the various chapters. Drawing on the author's rich experience, the new edition retains the book's hallmarks of insight and clarity of expression, ensuring it maintains its position as the leading textbook in the field.

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.

Dissensus over Liberal Democracy

Die Verzahnung des Verfassungsrechts mit dem internationalen und supranationalen Recht gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung. Im Europarecht sind dessen Grundzüge daher als Pflichtstoff eingestuft. Das Lehrbuch behandelt lern- und praxisgerecht die Schnittstellen zwischen Verfassungsrecht und Völkerrecht/Europarecht, speziell die verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen der Einbindung Deutschlands in die Völkerrechtsgemeinschaft. Im Mittelpunkt stehen aktuelle Fragen wie Gewaltverbot, Interventionspolitik und Friedenspflicht, internationale Strafgerichtsbarkeit. Eine Übersicht über besonders prüfungsrelevante Bezugsmaterien ergänzt den Stoff.
