La ingeniería de la investigación jurídica: Siete piezas para construir un argumento sólido

The modern field of comparative international law emerged in the last century, but it still suffers from a lack of intellectual and methodological foundations. This ambitious collection fills that gap. It examines the key concepts of comparative international law, including its historical and critical perspectives. Contributors from a wide geographical range present their diverse and thought-provoking views on international and comparative law. This is a much-needed and cutting-edge book on an undervalued yet topical field of research.

For decades, LGBTI people simply did not exist in the language of international human rights law. No treaty named them, and no UN body addressed their demands. They had been written out of the universal promise of human rights. Based on archival research in Amsterdam and London, three years of participant observation at the UN, and in-depth interviews with activists, diplomats, and UN officials, Queer International Activism tracks the strategies, coalitions, and creative advocacy efforts through which LGBTI activists gradually inserted themselves into the world's most powerful human rights institutions. &nbsp;&nbsp;The book traces five distinct ways in which queer civil society organizations worked to reshape human rights subjecthood: reframing the meaning of universality; drafting their own international legal instruments; forging coalitions inside UN bodies; confronting the colonial assumptions embedded in global sexuality politics; and leveraging personal relationships and individual identity to open doors that formal institutional rules kept closed. But this is not a straightforward victory narrative. The power queer activists have won is real but precarious, built on relationships and opportunity rather than on deep institutional change, and the influence activists have gained depends on conditions that can disappear. As opposition to LGBTI rights escalates across the globe, this book underscores the urgency of understanding how queer activist changed the trajectory of human rights law, and how fragile these victories remain.

This book examines the relationship between the UK Parliament and the European Court of Human Rights, and the relationship Parliament had previously with the Court of Justice of the European Union. It examines these relationships in the context of the highly-politicised area of immigration. The book illustrates, despite frequent claims to the contrary, that the adjudication of rights by 'foreign' courts in cases involving immigration has not in fact impeded Parliament's work or its sovereignty. By applying the democratic dialogue model to the relationship between the Parliament and these courts, the book illustrates the dynamic and interactive nature of the relationships. The institutions, working together, produce moderated and normatively advantageous human rights protections. Tackling the contentious issue of UK sovereignty, this important book, through rigorous analysis, expertly dismantles one of the most charged political claims of recent times.

Adopting distinct and new perspectives to analyse VAT policy and practice, this book explores the key design challenges and opportunities faced by VAT jurisdictions in the 21st century. The book shows how the VAT, the world's most preferred form of consumption tax, has failed to live up to the expectations of its advocates since its earliest iterations about a century ago. It identifies and explains the gaps between VAT theory and practice, drawing on lessons from recent international experience. The book begins with an analysis of key design features of VAT systems, including concessions, registration thresholds and small business regimes. It goes on to explore more complex issues, such as the application of the tax to financial supplies, sharing economy transactions, and international cross-border sales, as well as the treatment of transactions and revenue within jurisdictions that operate under multiple-tiered systems of government.These issues represent challenges commonly encountered in VAT jurisdictions in modern economies. The work outlines innovative and realistic reform proposals for a VAT suitable for a 21st century economy that are grounded in economic principles and at the same time, practicable in terms of law, policy, and administration. It factors in, in particular, the political, technical, and administrative realities that policymakers in VAT jurisdictions must navigate when developing reform programmes. With guidance on VAT design and implementation for policymakers and law drafters, the book is also a valuable resource for academics, students, and practitioners interested in VAT policy and practice, and the interactions between tax law, policy and economic principles.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is a semi-autonomous government agency established at the height of the Hawaiian cultural and political renaissance to expend public funds for the benefit of Native Hawaiians. In The Sword of History Troy Andrade offers a legal and political history of this agency in order to excavate its role in the ongoing struggle for Native Hawaiian self-determination. Andrade demonstrates how the framing of past events in connection with present-day lawmaking perpetuates narratives of either justice or injustice, which in turn support or undermine the legal bases for reparative action. He sheds light on how history becomes a metaphorical sword that is wielded by those with power to control reconciliation efforts. &nbsp;&nbsp;Using legal records, archival materials, and personal interviews, this manuscript expands on legal-historical understandings of the use of collective memory in different legal institutions, such as through state constitution building, legislation, and court opinions. Andrade deftly weaves a compelling narrative out of these complex and often fraught legal battles, which often had implications far beyond the Hawaiian state. Ultimately this book offers a novel perspective on the complicated legal politics surrounding indigeneity in the U.S. writ large.

Short-Termism and Shareholder Engagement

Science fiction has long been fascinated with the potential for sentient, human-like artificial persons. Even before reality meets fantasy, individuals, governments and businesses already entrust AI to make automated decisions with potential for real-life impact. What are the implications for AI legal personhood? This work examines how different legal entities differ in rights and duties and considers historical examples that show how legal personhood status can change over time under economic, social and pragmatic pressures. By abandoning the traditional binary, characteristics-based concept of the legal person for a historical lens, we are left with a more nuanced concept of the legal person against which sentience matters far less than what we might otherwise assume.
