Springer Textbooks in Law

This textbook describes how international development functions, its shortcomings, its theoretical and practical foundations, along with prescriptions for the future. International Development Law provides students with new perspectives on the origins of global poverty, identifies legal impediments to sustainable economic growth, and provides a better understanding of the challenges faced by the international community in resolving global poverty issues. The text is structured into two basic parts: the first part deals with the theoretical and philosophic foundations of the subject, and the second part sets forth issues related to the international financial architecture, namely, international borrowing practices, privatization, and emerging economies.&nbsp;This book is a perfect teaching vehicle as it takes a multidisciplinary approach to addressing complex issues, legal trends and political questions into a clear, new perspective that is highly accessible to the reader.&nbsp;Videos via app: download the SN More Media app for free, scan a link with play button and access videos directly on your smartphone or tablet.Test your knowledge with questions and answers about the book with Springer Nature Flashcards.

This book is based on presentations and discussions at the special workshop “The concept of Legal Consciousness” held on July 7, 2022, in Bucharest, Romania, as part of thirtieth biennial World Congress of the International Association for the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (IVR). The workshop was focused on the importance of this concept for legal theory, legal sociology, and legal psychology (“psychology and law”). The book consists of fourteen contributions divided into four thematic parts elaborating the following topics: concept of law, methodology of legal sciences, role of legal consciousness in legal theory and legal sociology, adjudication, constitutionalization, modification of the legal system, and the deliberate normative change.&nbsp;

A Justification from a Modern Historical Perspective

Culture and Predictability of Law

Gender, Justice and Legal Feminism

This book delves into the transformative efforts that sought to redefine punishment and rehabilitation, highlighting the pivotal role of Community Service Orders (CSO) and the legislative push to abandon the use of Short-Term Prison Sentences (STPS) for fine default. However, a deeper investigation reveals a critical oversight: the unique predicaments of women entangled in the criminal justice system were neglected. Through meticulous research and analysis, this work sheds light on the nuances of judicial discretion in the District Court, the inconsistencies in sentencing, and the challenges in implementing effective diversion policies. It presents an in-depth exploration of the legislative adjustments aimed at both ends of the sentencing spectrum and the unforeseen consequences these changes have had, particularly on women.Quantitative and qualitative research demonstrate that, in Ireland, there is a higher risk that when a woman reoffends this leads to increasingly harsher penalties. Women are offered fewer meaningful opportunities for self-improvement or programs aimed at addressing the socio-economic factors underscored by their offences.This book will be of interest to a broad spectrum of readers interested in criminal justice reform, gender studies, and socio-political history. It appeals to academics, practitioners, and policymakers in the fields of criminology, sociology, and law, offering fresh insights into the complexities of penal reform and its implications for different genders. Additionally, it caters to a general audience intrigued by the intersection of social justice, legal reforms, and gender equality.

Transforming Justice for Women

Law and Visual Jurisprudence

Based on the long-established American law and literature movement, the interdisciplinary research field of 'law and literature' is also beginning to hesitantly establish itself in Europe. The German Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1385 ‘Law and Literature’ has provided an important impetus for this development. The present work builds on the latter and aims to develop a contrastive interdisciplinary research method ('legal counterfactual') that claims to offer a methodological basis for the further development of the young research field of 'law and literature'. The particular focus herein is on law in literature. An overview of the heterogeneous research approaches in Italy, France, Belgium, and Germany is first provided. Thereafter, the focus shifts to a theoretical examination of the methodological concepts of interdisciplinarity and counterfactuality on the one hand, and the specific approaches to the text – namely discourse and hermeneutics – on the other. Based on these theoretical 'building blocks', the dividing lines between legal and literary studies are drawn in the first step, to identify the resulting intersections in the second step: the written text as a common working basis on the one hand, and hermeneutics and discourse as a means of analysing texts on the other. The legal discourse in the texts is methodically extracted and contrasted with the real-world legal texts in a juxtaposing manner. The aim of this counterfactual contrast is to determine the degree of correspondence between diegetic and real law. To consolidate this method of legal counterfactuals, five works of contemporary literature are tested and demonstrated in practice: La décision (2022) by Karine Tuil, Sworn Virgin (2014) by Elvira Dones, Unorthodox (2012) by Deborah Feldman, Repenti (2017) by Claude Chossat, and A Slap in the Face (2016) by Abbas Khider. The selection of works is motivated by an interest in touching on different areas of law that have received little attention in interdisciplinary law and literature research to date, such as French anti-terror law, the customary law of the Albanian Kanun, Talmudic law, Corsican feudal vendetta law, and German asylum law.

We all need inspiration. The stories in this book will inspire anyone who has a dream but sees a dark or difficult road ahead. These stories will light the way forward and give you the strength to persevere.&nbsp; As you read these stories, you will cry, laugh, and experience sadness, joy and light.

Of Counsel and head of the Rule of Law-Africa at Jones Day.&nbsp;This book reminds us that when women tell their stories, they gain freedom, own their narrative and model excellence for other women. It is a compelling read for mentoring, training and promoting women’s leadership in law. —Gertrude Araba Sackey Torkornoo, Chief Justice of Ghana&nbsp;The narratives in this book are not just stories—they are life-changing, life-enhancing and life-enhancing. &nbsp;An essential toolbox of strategies for mentoring and leadership for women on the bench. Read it, model it, and practice it—judicial storytelling is indeed judicial freedom.—Mandisa Lindelwa Maya, Chief Justice of South Africa&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This book documents the pioneering spirits &nbsp;and crucial voices of women judges, in transforming the legal landscape. Dawuni captures the intersection of gender, law, and cultural identity, creating a foundational work for scholars, practitioners, and advocates. This volume will inspire future generations, reaffirming the power of storytelling as a means of judicial freedom and historical legacy.—Meaza Ashenafi, Former Chief Justice of Ethiopia&nbsp;This edited volume centers the voices of African women judges as agents of justice and equality. The book’s legal and personal narratives approach privileges the lived experiences, professional trajectories, contributions and challenges of the judges profiled. This book significantly contributes to the diversity of knowledge and representation in the global discourse on gender and judging, offering another contribution to the growing literature on African women judges.&nbsp;J. Jarpa Dawuni is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Howard University, Washington D.C.

Storytelling as Judicial Freedom

African Women Judges

80 years after the Nuremberg trial, the prosecution of Nazi perpetrators has effectively come to an end. Examining the last Nazi trials in Germany from a multidisciplinary perspective, the present volume addresses key aspects of the judicial phenomenon of Spätverfolgung (‘late prosecution’), links the issue to the international discourse on transitional justice, and contributes to current debates in academia and society at large.

The Last Nazi Trials

Literatur und Recht

Die Normativität des Rechts wird niemand bestreiten – inwiefern das Literatursystem normativ ist, ist dagegen offen, obgleich die Poetik ‚Gesetze‘ kennt, die Gattungstheorie normativ argumentiert und die Literaturkritik nach bestimmten Kriterien urteilt. Dieser Band vergleicht Normativitäten von Recht und Literatur, fragt nach Spiegelungen, Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden. Neben systematischen Differenzierungen im Feld normativer Begriffe werden Quellen von Normativität sowie Formen von Autorisierung diskutiert und nicht zuletzt die Möglichkeiten der Durchsetzung von Normen sowie Ressourcen, die Einzelne der Kraft der Normierung entgegenzusetzen vermögen.

Perspectives on Global Affairs

This edited volume discusses new approaches to good governance in East Asia and Latin America, with a focus on the Philippines and Chile. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in both countries between late 2023 and 2024, the chapters, written by a diverse group of contributors from the private sector, government, civil society, and academia, offer fresh insights into emerging trends in good governance. The themes covered in the volume span from democratic deconsolidation, to constitutional reform, indigenous rights, food security, horizontal inequalities and social unrest, and maritime security.
