Aston Jennifer: Deserted Wives and
Economic Divorce in 19th-Century Englan

Deserted Wives and Economic Divorce in 19th-Century England and Wales

‘For Wives Alone’

African Women in Law is the first empirical study to offer a comprehensive and contextually rich portrait of African women in the legal profession. Drawing on 153 interviews across six countries, 249 survey responses from 21 countries, and secondary literature from 15 countries, this groundbreaking book explores the representation of women in the bar, bench, and legal academia. It traces historical developments, examines current realities, and sets the stage for future research. Introducing the HISP framework-History, Institutions, Social (norms), and Position(ality)-the book analyzes how structural forces shape women's roles in law. Through original concepts such as exclusion versus accommodation, racehorses versus workhorses, and the women's other-bar and other-bench, it challenges conventional narratives and highlights the diverse experiences of African women in law. The volume also builds on matri-legal feminist theory to offer a fresh lens for understanding gender and justice in African contexts. Rejecting essentialist approaches, the book argues that there is no single narrative of the lived experiences of African women in law. Instead, it reveals how women have emerged from the margins of a male-dominated field to assume leadership roles, often through innovative strategies that overcome systemic barriers. As the first comparative study of its kind, African Women in Law establishes a vital foundation for future scholarship and inspires new questions, methods, and theories for exploring law, gender, and governance across the continent.

A Comparative Perspective

African Women in Law

Rediscovers the economic ideas that built America by offering the most comprehensive treatment of the American protectionist school of economic thought - tracing its origins from Alexander Hamilton and Tench Coxe, and highlighting the School's dynamic, invention-driven vision as a rival to English classical economics.

America's Neglected Protectionist Tradition offers the most comprehensive treatment of the American protectionist school of economic thought - an intellectual tradition which originated with the ideas of Alexander Hamilton and Tench Coxe, and was developed further by thinkers such as Friedrich List, John Rae, and Henry Charles Carey. This work provides the first systematic account of the philosophy and theory of the American protectionist tradition by drawing upon the full corpus of their literature, which includes the writings of nearly seventy statesmen and economists. 
In reconstructing their system of theory, America's Neglected Protectionist Tradition demonstrates that the American protectionists represented a coherent and systematic school of economic thought, and one that rivalled their English classical counterparts. Against the conventional literature on the topic, which treats American Protectionist thought as merely an adaption of English classical economics, this work demonstrates that the American Protectionists developed a distinctive approach to economics. Not only did they differ from the Classicals on the policy recommendations concerning international trade, they rejected basic assumptions of the English classicals which remain foundational to contemporary economic analysis. Central to the thinking of the American protectionist tradition is the idea of the economy as dynamic and inventive. Rather than seeing scarce resources as placing fixed limits on economic progress, the American protectionists looked to invention, human ingenuity, and the diversity of talents and aptitudes as the means of forging the wealth of nations. Among other areas of economic analysis, this work explores the American protectionists' support for economic diversification, which stands in contrast with free trade theory's emphasis on specialisation. By challenging the Classical view that individuals represent homogeneous and uniform factors of production, the protectionists saw mankind as possessing unique talents, aptitudes and dispositions. Protected diversification was thus necessary to allow individuals to exercise these unique qualities. By recovering this neglected tradition, this work not only fills a significant gap in the history of economic thought but also provides valuable historical perspective on contemporary debates regarding trade and industrial policy, technological innovation and economic development.

The Economics that Forged a Nation

America’s Neglected Protectionist Tradition

This book provides an overview of male violence against women and the failure of the legal system. Male violence against women is pervasive. From the bedroom to the boardroom; from the home to the hospital; from the court to the care home, women are subject to male violence. The legal response to this is weak. The violence is either invisible or downplayed. This book explains why and how the law can do better. It explores how violence in different settings reinforces and magnifies the abuse in others. Too often violence against women is considered in silos (sexual assault; domestic abuse; street harassment, etc.). The book argues that they must be seen on a continuum. It brings out the common themes, but also the subtle differences in context between the scenes of violence. In doing so it argues that we cannot understand an incident of male violence against women without understanding the broader context within which that takes place. The book claims that the legal response to male violence against women downplays the severity of the harm or even fails to recognise it. This is a must-read for those interested in criminal law, gender politics, and feminist approaches to law. It is only when the true nature of the problem is grasped that the law can start to provide an effective response to it. This book shows how a better and more effective law can be found.

This study centers on the Dutch Republic, where Roman law-applied alongside contemporary legislation-was used to regulate the lives of enslaved individuals across its territories, albeit in a highly selective manner. Which provisions of Roman law were implemented, and what led to the exclusion of others? This book investigates these questions through a historical analysis of the legal transfer of Roman law within both the metropole and the colonies. Special attention is given to the private law governing enslaved persons in the Dutch Republic and its overseas territories, including the WIC¿administered islands of Curaçao, Aruba, and Bonaire, the Sociëteit van Suriname, and the VOC¿controlled Cape Colony. The 2012 BellagiöHarvard Guidelines on the Legal Parameters of Slavery identify legal institutions grounded in the notion of ownership, providing a valuable framework for legal¿historical research on slavery.

The Legal Framework of Slavery in the Dutch Republic and Its Colonies

Money in political campaigns is a subject of endless current interest and enormous consequence for American democracy. Beginning in 1976, in Buckley v. Valeo, the Supreme Court established a framework for public campaign regulation that declared that money constitutes "speech" and that the only constitutional basis upon which the government can regulate money was to prohibit corruption or the appearance of corruption. The Court then defined corruption narrowly and held that direct "contributions" to candidates could be limited on that basis but that "expenditures," by political candidates and others, could not. Over time as the role of money became more and more serious in politics the Court in a number of decisions seemed to be turning more willing to accept regulation. But in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the new conservative Supreme Court sharply turned against permitting regulation, including of corporations. Today that regime of nearly full protection for anyone spending virtually any amount of money for or against candidates and issues remains securely in place. The question, after a half century of this system, is whether this interpretation of the First Amendment is sound or not. If yes, then what are the justifications and what will be the consequences? If not, then what are alternative interpretations and what would the world be like under each one? The contributors, all scholars and experts in this area, give their interpretations and proposals.

Money, Politics, and the First Amendment

This book offers a fresh feminist perspective on prostitution. It challenges the 'sex work' perspective, drawing on experience from rape law and #MeToo campaigns in Ireland and elsewhere to develop a new legal concept of 'compromised consent'. This concept justifies the introduction of Nordic Model laws banning the purchase of sex. It recognises that an individual consent to sell sex is necessarily compromised by structural exploitation within the vastly profitable global sex industry. While 'sex work' proponents increasingly dominate academic discourse on prostitution, this book asserts that they have co-opted the language of feminism to mask the immense power and patriarchal control exerted by the industry. Their view of 'consent' is based on a dangerous premise. They cannot say that those who sell sex do so out of mutual desire; rather consent is portrayed as an expression of individual choice, thus ignoring the intersectional gendered collective context within which commercial sex transactions take place worldwide. By contrast, this book argues that presumptions of 'consent' in prostitution directly undermine the legal principles of affirmative consent and contemporary law reforms hard-won by feminist activists on rape and gender-based violence. A view of consent as 'compromised' within the sex trade derives from socialist theorising, as well as from legal re-conceptualisations of consent in other settings. It also reflects the reality of conditions within the sex industry. This book will be of great interest to students, academics, policy makers and feminist activists. It makes a significant contribution in challenging the dominant thinking within a highly polarised literature.

Essays in Law and History for David Ibbetson

This book provides the first in-depth scholarly analysis of fraud, the highest volume crime in England and Wales, addressing the challenges faced in building a principled criminal law response by presenting an innovative normative analysis. The UK is now in a pandemic of fraud. There were 4.6 million fraud offences recorded in the year ending March 2021, accounting for 42% of all crime committed against individuals. Fraud is now the highest volume crime in England and Wales; its incidence in the first half of 2021 was described by UK Finance as a 'national security threat'. The book provides the answers to key questions, such as: - How can the rapidly changing nature of fraud be understood and mapped by criminal lawyers? - How does fraud connect to economic crime more broadly? - Is the current landscape for criminalising fraud fit for purpose, in the light of changes to the nature and complexity of wrongdoing? - What are the principled limits to using Artificial Intelligence technologies to detect and to penalise fraud? - Which principles should inform fraud criminalisation and governance following the COVID-19 pandemic, to meet the challenges of a digital age and a stretched criminal justice system?

This book examines the future of Indigenous law in Africa in connection with the legislative privatisation of Indigenous land tenure in Africa. It seeks to determine whether this privatisation has destroyed, altered, amended, or improved Indigenous law through a legislative process that has been a source of relief, controversy, concern, and frustration. The central question it addresses is: What remains of Indigenous law in the wake of this privatisation?
The book highlights Africa’s multiple legal regimes and the need to constantly question the future of these diverse legal orders, particularly Indigenous law, which paradoxically represents the majority legal order yet remains subordinate to state law and practice, even in African states that have constitutionalised indigenous law. It argues for reimagining multi-stakeholder-managed land tenure as part of the search for a moral order – a search that Indigenous African communities should continue to pursue, guided by the norms of solidarity, care, compassion, and sustenance evident in the relationships nurtured in property relations.
