Historical and Social Context

The Promise and Peril of Navigating Our Agentic AI Future

When Machines Act

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic culture While we often read about corporate scandals, we are left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm?​​​​​​​ Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond the senior executives and/or leaders and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include: <ul><li>Boeing focusing so much on its day-to-day share price that it lost sight of ensuring the long-term safety of its 737 MAX airplanes.</li><li>Volkswagen experimenting with monkeys locked in cages breathing exhaust fumes in a desperate attempt to deny the harm of its “clean diesel” engines.</li><li>How the Oakland Police Department taught its rookies to engage in racist and abusive policing practices, resisting decades-long attempts to reform the department.</li></ul> Revealing, accessible, and engaging, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

How Organizations Go Bad

Toxic

This innovative new textbook takes a cases and materials model (balanced perfectly with expert commentary to guide the students) which maintains a keen focus on those areas studied by the student of EU law. Avoiding the approach of most other textbooks, whose comprehensiveness serves to overwhelm the student, EU Law: Cases, Materials and Text is structured to map the mainstream curriculum. This allows for the inclusion of more materials, with short extracts drawn from a wide range of sources. These serve to tease out themes and to provide a clear sense of direction for the student navigating a sometimes complex subject. As a first edition, it is structured to accurately reflect the law of the EU post Brexit, with a dedicated chapter on the emerging UK-EU relationship. Written by two authors who are both leading scholars and experienced teachers, this offers a new, fresh resource for students and teachers alike.

The Venice Commission

Constitutionalism in Latin America and the Caribbean

This book offers the first in-depth analysis in English of the practical dynamics of the constitutional recognition of Indigenous justice and legal pluralism in Bolivia. The 2009 Bolivian Constitution was an extraordinary attempt to wrestle the notion of the nation-state away from its European origins to imagine a new form of statehood that fully embeds Indigeneity. This turn to plurinational constitutionalism, in which Indigenous peoples and their traditions are taken to constitute one of the central pillars of the state, recognised Indigenous justice as wholly autonomous from and equal to 'ordinary' justice. The book unpacks what plurinationality stands for in this context, whether it truly brought about the transformation of social relations, and whether plurinational constitutionalism could be a viable model for other states. It showcases the many interesting and innovative aspects of the Bolivian model, which could be adapted by other countries aiming to implement the right to self-determination of Indigenous peoples more fully. At the same time, the promise of Indigenous justice and plurinational constitutionalism in Bolivia remains partially unfulfilled, for reasons that reflect a combination of local challenges and tensions inherent to the concept of plurinationalism. This book will be of interest to academics, students, practitioners and policymakers working in comparative constitutional law, Latin American studies, legal anthropology, Indigenous studies, and legal pluralism. It suggests a path for reimagining notions such as the rule of law and sovereignty as foundations for a society truer to Indigenous peoples and, more generally, to all its citizens.

Materialising the Digital

Where and how we pay is changing dramatically. This timely, innovative book navigates the so-called 'Cambrian explosion' of FinTech companies and more specifically to the emergence of Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies through the lens of the case of Ripple, a company in the field of cryptoassets and cross-border payments. Combining STS with human geography and political economy, it navigates the maelstrom of proliferating new and old payment infrastructure, to develop a theoretical and empirical 'infrastructural inversion' of money. Money does not just flow through or behave like an infrastructure, but rather it is an infrastructure, because it is predicated upon the existence of accounting and payment infrastructures of memory for its very existence. Using the concepts of active forms and dispositions from design and architecture, this nuanced book analyses how money's infrastructures act in the world materially, spatially, as objects and subjects of desire and as political and economic machines. If we want new forms of money for new forms of society, we need to think holistically and ecologically about the complex combinations of materiality, space, desire and political economies that money generates and propagates. Tracing the trajectory of a cryptoasset project from an alternative credit system to an interbank, cross-border company, the book moves beyond a Bitcoin-centric view of money. It reveals how alternative and mainstream, networked and sovereign forms of money have long been intertwined.

An ecology of materiality, space, desires, and power

Money’s infrastructures

For more than a century, the United States has relied on the income tax to fund government and shape distributional policy. Designed to tax both labor and capital, the system has drifted from that ambition. The Income Tax Collapse offers a clear, accessible account of how this shift occurred.
At the center of the book is the set of techniques known as "buy, borrow, die", longstanding features of tax law that allow wealthy households to accumulate and spend capital income while reporting little or none of it. These practices now shape outcomes for entrepreneurs, business owners, workers, mixed work-wealth households, and the wealthiest citizens.
Looking ahead, the book identifies the structural pressures driving the system and presents realistic reform options, from adjustments to realization rules to broader shifts such as mark-to-market, wealth taxation, or progressive spending taxes.

Modern Studies in European Law

This open access book provides a compelling re-examination of the European Union judiciary, encompassing the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union and constitutional courts, as explored by prominent scholars from the Spanish academic community. Organised into three substantive parts, the book explores the essential interplay between these judicial bodies, emphasising how their distinct roles, challenges and evolutions are deeply interconnected. Together, these institutions form a cohesive yet occasionally tension-filled 'community of judges' that collaborates, interacts, and sometimes diverges in shaping the legal landscape of Europe. The first part examines the institutional framework and the foundational role of the European Court of Human Rights, focusing on its influence on European legal norms and human rights protections. The second part addresses the institutional challenges faced by the Court of Justice of the European Union, including its function as a cornerstone of EU law and its interactions with other courts. The final part investigates the role of constitutional courts within EU Member States, highlighting their responses to European integration and their dynamic relationships with supranational courts. By exploring the interdependencies, mutual influences, and occasional tensions within this 'community of judges', the book reveals how these courts, in collaboration with European scholarship, collectively contribute to a broader 'community of law' that continues to shape the legal and political order of Europe.

Structural Principles of EU Law

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.

Lessons for Building a New Social Contract at Work

Roads Not Taken

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet?This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement.Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature.Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.
