Hart Studies in Constitutional Law

This book provides the most complete history of the Regency Acts and Counsellors of State ever undertaken. Using documents from the National Archives, the book outlines why the position was created in the early 20th century, how the question of a regency and Counsellors of State became entangled with the abdication of Edward VIII, and how the position became a crucial feature of the reign of Elizabeth II. Counsellors of State were a little-known part of the constitutional monarchy. Yet, recently, the role has attracted public scrutiny as Princes Harry and Andrew remain Counsellors despite their withdrawal from public life. Counsellors can deputise for the monarch when they are overseas or unwell, ensuring that the monarchy can continue to fulfil its constitutional functions. The book explains the role of Counsellors and the legal and practical problems surrounding their functions. It also discusses the problems with how the Regency Acts provide for a regent. The reign of Charles III raises important questions both for the present and the future. The King is known to favour a "slimmed down", more flexible, modern monarchy. Reforming the positions of Counsellors of State and regent could be part of this. Should the position be used to smooth the transition to William V? Should the British monarchy follow examples from other monarchies in Europe and allow a monarch to retire with the heir to the throne acting as regent? The book concludes with suggested reforms to ensure that the modern monarchy continues to fulfil its constitutional duties.

Regency, Counsellors of State, and the Future of the Modern Monarchy

The U.S. Constitution is silent about a right to privacy, yet the Supreme Court determined in the 1965 reproductive rights case Griswold v. Connecticut, that such a right is inferred from the Bill of Rights. The reasoning in the landmark case hinged on an unexpected word – penumbra. The Court concluded, in other words, that the unmentioned right to privacy resides in the shadows of the amendments. But this was not the first time penumbral imagery was used in legal writings, and its broader cultural usage dates back much further. Jared Schroeder's The Penumbra Problem provides a much-needed – and quite colorful – social and cultural history of the term. The penumbra concept, it turns out, wasn't an accidental choice but instead a well-selected term with centuries of transnational history. Schroeder tells its story through two intertwining narratives: first, how the word penumbra transcended its oblique scientific origins to become a distinct cultural concept; and, second, the parallel story of its evolving use in legal thought. The book tracks back and forth in time, creating an unexpected lineage of people and works who became unwitting champions of the penumbra concept, including mathematician Johannes Kepler, feminist activist Estelle Griswold, British thinker Robert Hooke, and lexicographer Noah Webster. Pairing these stories with the writings of great legal thinkers such as Willam Douglas and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Schroeder is able to construct a kind of etymological love letter to this obscure concept. Not everyone has supported the privacy precedent, though, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is in danger today. Schroeder's clever, utterly unique history is, at its core, a call to redouble efforts to save the right to privacy. He argues that we must understand its ponderous, indeed uncertain, origins to fully appreciate the precarity in which it exists today, and only then can we adequately fight for it.

Dans cet essai, l'auteur propose une analyse lucide et engagée des fondements de l'entrepreneuriat africain, en plaçant les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) au cœur des stratégies de développement du continent. Véritables piliers des économies africaines, les PME contribuent massivement à la création d'emplois, à l'innovation locale et à la résilience sociale, tout en demeurant confrontées à des obstacles structurels persistants. L'essai démontre que les politiques de promotion de l'entrepreneuriat, longtemps construites selon une logique institutionnelle descendante, peinent à produire des effets durables. Trop souvent, les entrepreneurs sont perçus comme de simples bénéficiaires de dispositifs d'aide, alors qu'ils devraient être reconnus comme des acteurs centraux et des co-concepteurs des stratégies publiques. Cette marginalisation freine l'autonomie entrepreneuriale et limite l'impact réel des politiques de soutien. S'appuyant sur une analyse rigoureuse des réalités économiques africaines, l'auteur met en lumière les spécificités juridiques, sociales et culturelles des PME, souvent ignorées par des cadres normatifs importés et inadaptés. Il plaide pour une refondation des politiques de promotion, fondée sur l'éducation entrepreneuriale, l'appropriation d'une idéologie de croissance adaptée aux contextes locaux et la mise en place d'un environnement juridique sécurisé. L'essai insiste également sur l'importance de l'accompagnement post-création et du renforcement des structures d'incubation, afin de permettre aux entrepreneurs de surmonter les difficultés liées à la mise en œuvre de leurs projets. À cet égard, l'émergence d'un droit spécifique aux PME en Afrique apparaît comme une perspective incontournable pour favoriser la formalisation, la croissance et la pérennité des entreprises. En définitive, cet essai invite décideurs publics, entrepreneurs et partenaires au développement à repenser en profondeur les politiques de promotion de l'entrepreneuriat africain, afin d'en faire un véritable moteur de transformation durable, d'innovation et de croissance inclusive au service du continent.

The Psychology of Money
The Psychology of Money: Unveiling the Secrets of Financial Behavior by Dr. Maxwell Shimba is not a conventional personal finance manual promising get-rich-quick schemes or secret stock tips. Rather, it is a profound interdisciplinary excavation of the human relationship with money, drawing from behavioral economics, neuroscience, clinical psychology, sociology, and philosophy. The book's central thesis is revolutionary yet simple: money is fundamentally a psychological artifact, a vessel into which we pour our deepest fears, hopes, identities, and narratives. Every financial decision-from the mundane morning coffee purchase to the monumental retirement portfolio allocation-is a window into our internal world, shaped by childhood imprints, cultural conditioning, and ancient neural wiring. Dr. Shimba systematically dismantles the myth of Homo economicus, the perfectly rational actor, and replaces it with a far more complex and compassionate portrait of the human being navigating an increasingly complex financial landscape.
The book is structured as an expedition through ten interconnected territories of financial psychology, beginning with the foundational architecture of the money mindset. Dr. Shimba guides readers through an archaeological dig of their earliest money memories, the cognitive biases that systematically distort judgment, and the emotional underpinnings-fear, greed, regret, shame-that often override our best intentions. The work is grounded in rigorous scholarship, from Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory to the neuroscientific mapping of the brain on money, yet it remains intensely practical. Each chapter builds upon the last, moving from individual psychology into the powerful currents of social influence, the intricate dance between money and meaning, and the psychological preparation required for life's great transitions: marriage, parenthood, career volatility, and retirement. The twenty-year case study contrasting Michael's scarcity mindset with David's abundance orientation serves as a haunting, instructive parable of how internal architecture shapes external destiny.
What distinguishes this work from other books on financial psychology is its unflinching engagement with the frontiers of our moment. Dr. Shimba devotes substantial attention to the digital transformation of money-the algorithmic agents now co-piloting our investment decisions, the frictionless interfaces that have anesthetized the "pain of paying," the ethical quagmires of fintech dark patterns and algorithmic bias, and the psychological challenges of the gig economy and cryptocurrency speculation. Yet the book never succumbs to technological determinism or Luddite nostalgia. Instead, it charts a third path: the way of the Integrator, who possesses dual citizenship in both the Digital Republic of algorithmic fluency and the Republic of Inner Experience, where timeless human values reside. The future of money psychology, Dr. Shimba argues, is not a prediction but a practice-the daily, disciplined integration of the Technologist and the Philosopher-Psychologist.

An Introduction to Approach of Advocates on Art of Cross Examination in Trial Courts

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

From Smart Technologies to Smart Consumer Law

International trade and public health have long been in tension, with intellectual property law partially to blame. Patent protections have created strong pharmaceutical monopolies, making medicines unaffordable in many countries, blocking access to healthcare, and disrupting global supply chains. Attempts to remedy these public health failures have largely been fractured, with stop-gap efforts failing to meaningfully resolve the structural issues at the intersection between access, innovation, and regulation. Rather than treating these areas as separate domains, this book advocates for a holistic regulatory approach that centers public health while recognizing the deep interconnections with IP and trade. The authors argue that advancing innovation and global development requires recalibrating legal and policy frameworks to prioritize global public health as a necessary foundational requirement for robust trade and development. Tracing the evolution of these tensions across six chapters, the book critiques current regulatory reform efforts and proposes principles for a new public health framework: a treaty that places health not in opposition to trade and IP, but firmly at the center.

Centering a Public Health Framework

Fractures in IP, Trade, and Health

This is the updated and expanded edition of the only radical, multidisciplinary, international introduction to intellectual property in its socio-economic contexts. Bringing together voices from law, sociology, economics, political science, and cultural studies from across the Global North and Global South, experts and activists Mat Callahan and Jim Rogers offer a detailed history and analysis of IP before asking critical questions designed to underscore its importance in the broader struggle between capital and the commons. What are the broader implications of IP, whether for agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, education, or entertainment? Is IP law a fundamental pillar of our culture, or has it been used to protect and assert the ownership of, and thus limit, the spread of ideas and creativity? With a chapter structure moving from historical and theoretical foundations to industry-specific conflicts and policy analysis, this book covers the breadth and depth of IP areas, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, as well as emerging issues such as digital rights and biotechnology. Key features include: - voluminous, up-to-date case studies, both Western and non-Western; - an extensive, jargon-busting list of abbreviations of specialized or technical terms; - a new chapter on copyright and socialism; - revisions and updates accounting for the seismic impacts of artificial intelligence. This is a foundational must-read for all researchers, students, and activists interested in critical analyses of IP laws and policies--not just their legal frameworks, but also their broader social, economic, and political implications.

Rethinking Intellectual Property

The Art Law Library

This open access book investigates the role played by copyright on the digitisation of cultural heritage from three angles: the theoretical differences between cultural property law and copyright; a comparative analysis of the EU, UK, and US; and analysis of current practices and concerns, based on empirical research. As heritage digitisation projects become increasingly common for purposes such as preservation and access, the impact of copyright is also becoming more problematic. In order to provide a full and current picture of the copyright problem, the book first introduces the reader to the debates on the scope and ownership of cultural heritage and provides an overview of the copyright implications of the digitisation process and newer uses, including 2D and 3D scanning; virtual and augmented reality; text and data mining; and artificial intelligence. The author then divides the main critical analysis into three parts, referred to as the 'clashes with copyright'. The first, clash in theory, lies between cultural property law and copyright justification theories. The second clash is in the different legal approaches to digitising in-copyright, public domain, orphan, out-of-commerce and unpublished works in the chosen jurisdictions, focusing on the relevant rights and defences. The third clash is in the interests of stakeholders, based on public reactions to existing projects and cases, supported by interviews with heritage professionals engaging in digitisation. By placing itself in this particular intersection of law, heritage, and technology, the book will be of interest to both intellectual property academics and cultural heritage professionals. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Given the significant developments in Indian economic and trade policymaking over the last two decades, this book provides an authoritative and timely analysis of the transformation and current state of India's foreign economic policy. The work presents a comprehensive, informed and critical overview of negotiating issues addressed in the recent period leading up to the substantial conclusion of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. The volume also takes into account the geopolitical considerations that influenced the negotiations. Finally, the reform steps being taken by India need to be understood in light of the structural changes in the economy, fuelling domestic compulsion, and the analysis covers this undercurrent in detail. The book will be a valuable guide to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of international trade law, development economics and global politics.
