This book examines the interplay between economics, societal evolution, and social justice. It suggests that social justice is an essential part of a free and democratic society and is a key component within the evolution of society. Through a systematic and quantitative analysis of societal evolution, a new vision of economics is presented that is based around robustness, ethics, resilience, and sustainability. By bringing together behavioral and institutional approaches to economics, it offers a new perspective on the formation of the state and the role of economics within modern society.

This book provides a new theoretical framework for economic policy and analysis. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in economic theory and social justice.

An Epistemological Approach

The Economics of Social Justice and Societal Evolution

Kleine Schriften – Rechtswissenschaft | Short Cuts – Law

Die Demokratie ist vor allem durch Ungleichheit, Abstiegsängste sowie Globalisierung und Europäisierung gefährdet. Der Parlamentarismus ist immer weniger in der Lage, eine wirksame Verbindung von Bürgerschaft und politischem System herzustellen. Plebiszite bieten - wie ein Blick in einige Nachbarländer zeigt - kaum wirksame Abhilfe und stehen in Gefahr, mit Hilfe der neuen Medien von Populisten genutzt zu werden. Es bedarf deshalb neuer Institutionen, die das Repräsentativsystem stärken. Der Modus von Abwägungsentscheidungen könnte zu einer höheren Responsivität von staatlichen Entscheidungen führen. Neben einer Reform von politischen Institutionen ist der Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft auf ein gewisses Maß an sozialer Empathie angewiesen.

Dieser Titel erscheint auch Open Access.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This volume provides a nuanced analysis of the profound impact left by the dissenting opinion in the Tokyo Trial by Justice Radha Binod Pal's&nbsp;ideological stance on modern international criminal law. It consists of a detailed examination of this bold opinion on post-war justice that built the legacy of Justice Radha Binod Pal. Through an interdisciplinary perspective, this collection analyses the contemporary impact of Justice Pal's dissent and his ideologies and how they can impact contemporary dialogue in international law revolving around fairness, justice, accountability and inclusivity in international law and global power dynamics. It explores the intersection of his critique with contemporary concerns such as the decolonisation of international law, the legitimacy of global legal institutions, and the pursuit of a just world order. By engaging with issues such as territorial conflicts, and the role of legal pluralism, this volume aligns with the broader objectives of SDG16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), offering a critical lens on how international law can evolve to promote equitable and transparent global governance. With contributions ranging from analysis of historical perspectives to examination of contemporary implications, the edited volume shall be essential for readers interested in international law and scholars established in the research field of international criminal law, international humanitarian law and human rights, fair global order and the evolving role of dissent, inclusivity, cultural and social contextualisation.

This Open Access volume sheds light on the economic role and true value of non-human animals in the global economy. Animals have been a pillar of human prosperity since the dawn of civilization. From early hunting and domestication to their roles in agriculture, science, transportation, war, and entertainment, animals have shaped our world. Today, their contributions span from providing food and energy to supporting ecosystem services like pollination and pest control.&nbsp;Despite their importance, animals remain overlooked in economic studies. This book addresses this gap, exploring the economic roles of animals, analyzing demographic trends, reassessing their true economic value—including their intrinsic worth and the full measure of their contributions and suffering—and proposing innovative ways to reflect this in economic decision-making. This comprehensive volume connects economics and other fields, applying research on the valuation of Nature to non-human animals.The book explores economic policy and regulatory policy solutions to help recognize animal agency and ecological interdependence, presenting examples of how more humane, animal-free systems can reduce inefficiencies, spark innovation, and enhance both ecological and economic resilience. It will appeal to scholars, students, and researchers of economics and across other disciplines, as well as to policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the role of natural capital in economies, and specifically, the contributions of non-human animals to economic growth and stability.&nbsp;
 “
 This pioneering collection of essays
 &nbsp;raises an issue that economists have ignored for far too long: How are we to include non-human animals in economic evaluations of policies and practices? Fortunately, interest in this important question is now growing rapidly. The essays brought together in this volume sketch the outlines of a rich and extensive new field of thought.”&nbsp;

Revaluing Life for a Liveable Planet

The Economics of Non-Human Animals

Resources, Environment and Agricultural Development

This book focuses on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, using nationally representative datasets from the China Rural Household Panel Survey and China Labor-force Dynamics Survey to reveal the temporal and spatial evolution of cropland abandonment in rural China, and systematically examines the underlying drivers and governance strategies of farmers' cropland abandonment.
More specifically, this book creatively uses "People-Land-Money-Rights" as an analytical clue, and comprehensively employs modern econometric methods such as panel Tobit model, staggered DID model, and panel fixed-effect model to empirically investigate the impact of off-farm employment, land fragmentation, agricultural comparative return, and tenure insecurity on farmers' cropland abandonment. Based on these, this book also further explores the role of new agricultural business entities, farmland water conservancy projects, agricultural subsidy reform, and land tenure reform in curbing cropland abandonment. This book highlights the urgent need to address cropland abandonment and provides valuable insights into land protection in the context of food security and sustainable agriculture.

Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies

This book builds on the scholarship by contributing a critical analysis of the shortfalls of LGBTQ+ laws in Africa and the areas of progress and possible paths forward. It outlines the state of LGBTQ+ rights across Africa and discusses the notion of queering African law. It explores regional approaches towards the protection of LGBTQ+ rights within Africa and the important role of activism in challenging anti LGBTQ+ laws notably through litigation, their successes, challenges and limitations. It discusses the tensions between cultural, historical and other factors that on one hand challenge progress but which on the other hand may also be avenues for advancing rights. In line with the argument of queer theory as relevant in Africa, the chapters draw on queer legal theory which allows for critical analysis that aims to advance “a reformation of legal discourse” on LGBTQ+ rights. This focus is timely given the introduction of harsher anti-homosexuality laws in some African countries. Through multdisciplinary contributions, it offers readers a nuanced analysis of the challenges towards truly queering African law and the possibilities for doing so.&nbsp;Adam D. Dubin

Queering African Law

This volume, Climate Change and Children's Rights in Zimbabwe: Toward Social Policy-Based Interventions, provides a comprehensive examination of the intersection between climate change and children's rights in Zimbabwe, one of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations. It brings together diverse perspectives from sociology, law, development studies, anthropology, economics, and environmental sciences to challenge conventional approaches that treat children as passive victims of climate impacts. The book interrogates climate vulnerability through multiple dimensions, from legal frameworks and theoretical foundations to sectoral impacts and innovative adaptation strategies, showcasing transformative pathways for child-centred climate action that recognises children as rights-holders and active agents of change.\
The book outlines critical aspects and issues that must be understood and addressed to protect and advance children's rights in the face of accelerating environmental change. Attention is given to both persistent structural inequalities and innovative opportunities for building resilience through rights-based, gender-transformative, and community-grounded approaches. Through case studies spanning diverse districts, including Lupane, Bikita, Mbire, Chivi, Mashonaland Central, Gutu, Goromonzi, Zvimba, and others, it highlights how climate impacts manifest differently across Zimbabwe's varied ecological and socio-economic landscapes, affecting children's health, education, nutrition, protection, and overall well-being. It provides foundational perspectives into climate justice imperatives, multispecies justice frameworks, legal and policy gaps, and opportunities for transformative social policy that centres children's agency and Indigenous knowledge systems. The book is of interest to researchers, climate justice scholars, child rights advocates, development practitioners, humanitarian organisations, and policymakers committed to implementing more effective, equitable, and contextually appropriate climate responses that place children's rights at the centre of all climate action across Zimbabwe and the broader African continent.

Global Governance

This book examines the transformative changes in international corporate taxation from 2008 to 2021, culminating in the landmark October 2021 Agreement that fundamentally altered multinational business taxation.The study analyses how the 2008 Financial Crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic catalysed reform through G-20 and OECD initiatives, resulting in a two-pillar framework with conditional mismatch rules and a 15% minimum Effective Corporate Tax Rate applied country-by-country.Through empirical, comparative, and meta-historical analysis, the author reveals the decisive influence of the Transnational Tax Policy Community (TTPC) as agenda-setter, adviser, and gatekeeper. Despite the TTPC's significant role, the research demonstrates that domestic politics substantially impact implementation and enforcement outcomes.The work introduces a Dynamic Model of Corporate Tax Governance that not only explains recent revolutionary changes but also predicts future developments in global tax governance, illuminating the ongoing tension between multilateral cooperation and state sovereignty in international taxation.

Human Rights Law in Perspective

What is the reality of what it is to participate in associations, such as sports clubs, charities, trade unions, or political parties? This book explores the complexities surrounding the right of association from a legal and philosophical perspective. Legal chapters explore how the right is protected in jurisdictions as diverse as Chile, Germany, Indonesia, Kenya, Slovenia, Türkiye and the United Kingdom, alongside thematic chapters on judicial review, associational schism and the lived experience of associational participation. Philosophical chapters employ social ontology to illuminate the nature of group interaction and the reality of associational life. Offering the first interdisciplinary examination of freedom of association, this collection contributes significantly to our understanding of this fundamental right.
