&lt;div&gt;Chapter 1 Ombudsman as Global Institution.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 2 Transnational Governance and Global Diffusion of the Ombudsman Institution.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 3 Institutional History of the Ombudsman and Chancellor of Justice in Finland.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 4 The Finnish Parliamentary Ombudsman, the Chancellor of Justice, and Institutional Change.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 5 European Ombudsman as Supranational Institution of Accountability.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 6 European Ombudsman and Institutional Change.-&amp;nbsp;Chapter 7 Conclusions.&lt;/div&gt;

International Political Theory

This collection reviews Hegel in relation to the key themes of history, politics and philosophy. It shows how Hegel is a historical thinker, whose theories are
developed via a philosophical consideration of historical development at a number of levels. Hegel’s expertise in the history of philosophy leads him to
recognize the distinctiveness of the present, while building upon philosophical predecessors. This perspective sheds light on Hegel’s distinctive reading of the
political, which is both insightful and timely. Hegel’s reading of political economy emerges out of his conception of modernity and remains relevant to contemporary conceptions of civil society. Likewise Hegel’s focus upon the international remains of great moment in that he shows the interplay between internal and external forms of sovereignty. Hegel’s global perspective on international politics remains of relevance today and it bears upon his understanding of internal state sovereignty and history. This volume ends with a synoptic reading of Hegel today, which reviews him critically in the light of his problematic reading of race, sex and Eurocentrism. The essays in this volume reflect Gary Browning’s engagement with Hegel over a number of years, and, collectively, they show how Hegel’s political theory is linked to his reading of history and philosophy, and they make a case for the continued relevance of Hegel’s political and international theory.

Hegel on History, Politics and Philosophy

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

From Labour Law to the Constitution

Freedom of Association

This book critiques human rights standards that relate to abortion at the international and regional human rights level, from the EU, UN, Inter-American and African System.

It underlines the significance of human rights in making transformative progress on abortion rights. A topical, timely and compelling work.

Recognising a Human Right to Abortion

Critical Criminological Perspectives

This book explores narratives and practices around gender and criminal justice, with a focus on women in Latin America. The chapters are written by academics, policy-making institutions, women with lived experience and activist actors in Latin America. They provide a distinctive analysis of gender and criminal justice in the region, along with the tensions between victimization and agency in women’s paths of criminalization. This book looks at women’s resistance and responses to States’ processes of gender stereotyping and punishment. Ultimately, it showcases women’s collective capacity to shape the security agenda.

Between Victimization and Criminalization

Women and Criminal Justice in Latin America

A town spoke. Something larger answered.

In September 2025, a township board in rural Michigan voted to reject a data center. Two days later, the developer sued. Within three weeks, the project was approved anyway.

THIS IS SERVER COUNTRY tells-through vivid narrative and clear-eyed analysis-the story of America's largest private infrastructure buildout. A trillion dollars. Six hundred projects. A power grid racing to keep up.

This book follows the people caught in the buildout, explains how the machines actually work, and asks why farmland instead of shuttered factories. It traces the current backward from silicon in Taiwan to sandy loam in Saline-and reveals who builds, who benefits, and who pays, where local zoning meets great-power politics.

The book covers: How AI inference works and why it demands unprecedented compute power. 
Why data centers choose farmland, not cities. 
The trillion-dollar capital wave reshaping American infrastructure. 
State incentive wars and community resistance. 
The nuclear renaissance and natural gas reality.
Export controls and the geopolitics of AI.



The railroads opened the West. The interstates created the suburbs. The AI boom follows the same pattern, at faster speed-but to what end, we know not yet.

Political Corruption and Governance

This open access book examines the intricate connection between family and corruption within both the realms of business and government. While corruption is conventionally characterized as a socially harmful and ethically wrong phenomenon, and family is typically viewed as fundamental to social cohesion, this book argues that these constructs frequently intersect in real-life situations. Kinship ties often function not solely as sources of emotional solidarity but also as channels facilitating illicit transactions and resource misappropriation. From minor nepotism to large-scale state capture, family relationships frequently shape how corruption is organized, justified, and sustained. Drawing on interdisciplinary theories and case material, this book develops a much-needed theory of family corruption. By challenging the conventional dichotomy that segregates family from formal institutions, the analysis reveals how deeply family relations are embedded in everyday social orders, superseding universalistic norms and overriding rational bureaucratic considerations.

Global Challenges in the Environmental Humanities

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to climate adjudication, this book addresses how adjudicators decide cases by considering the influence of psychology, philosophy, legal education, film, literature, political economy, political ecology, judicial appointments, history, and climate science on their decision-making and ultimately on the (inconsistent) outcomes in climate cases. Drawing upon the humanities, science of climate change and/or social sciences to identify extra-legal factors that may drive the decision-making processes and outcomes of climate cases, this book uses case studies from different jurisdictions across the globe, addressing climate cases decided or pending in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America, and Oceania. In all, the volume will: - Engage with extra-legal influence to how show judges and arbitrators make their decisions in climate cases, shedding light on the inconsistent responses that climate cases have generated so far - Challenge assumptions of legal universalism, by recognising differences in how the law works in various - Inform actors involved in climate litigation (lawyers, judges, arbitrators, disputants), policymakers, and the public about how cases are decided

Multidisciplinary Perspectives

Adjudicating Climate Change

Governments around the world are privatizing everything, with dramatic but largely ignored negative consequences for human rights. This open access book outlines the response that is urgently needed. Corporations are being given control over water, healthcare, housing, public transportation, child welfare services, aged care, and much else. Privatization is promoted by international financial institutions, consulting firms, and development actors as the answer to public finances devastated by the very tax cuts insistently pushed by these groups. Their pitch is based upon a mythology that extols the virtues of an idealized market while ignoring the heavy human rights costs incurred. Building on the latest evidence and on specially commissioned case studies, this book shows how the touted 'efficiency' of the private sector is often predicated on higher charges and/or reduced services, destructive employment practices, and the highly predictable exclusion of many users. Privatization generally costs states more money, marginalizes democratic decision-making, and transforms citizens from rights-holders into customers while sidelining accountability. The authors develop an approach designed to enable human rights actors, including courts, UN treaty monitoring bodies, and NGOs to move beyond their longstanding agnosticism towards privatization. It starts with a presumption that privatization is inherently retrogressive in human rights terms. Whatever mix of public and private is reflected in any given arrangement, governments must retain the degree of control necessary to ensure respect for rights, and the legal, financial and administrative ability to do so. The book charts a new direction for responding to the ever-growing threat that privatization poses to human rights.

Governance and Public Management

This open access book analyses whether and to what extent fiscal transfers from central to local governments affect democracy at sub-national level. Fiscal transfers are often perceived to undermine democracy, as politicians utilise them to build patronage networks, weaken opposition candidates, and reward local governments that support them. On the other hand, others have argued that fiscal transfers serve to improve local governance, increase transparency, reduce corruption, and promote democracy. &nbsp;Drawing on eleven country case studies from Europe, Asia, and Africa, this book examines the extent to which local governments are affected with the risks connected with intergovernmental fiscal transfers. It will appeal to all those interested in public administration, public finance studies, and public policy.Juraj Nemec
