Hutchinson A: Rethinking Legitimacy

Rethinking Legitimacy

Courts, Constitutions and Politics

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMESBESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MONEY: A USER'S GUIDEWe vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?So why - in the privacy of the therapy room - does money emerge as one of the biggest causes of tension for modern couples? Why is it cited as the major factor in family estrangement between parents, children, and siblings? Why is there a trend for the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' to go to court to retrieve loans they regret handing over?In MONEY: A USER'S GUIDE, Laura showed us how to save into a pension and understand investment. This time, she delves into the really complex stuff - a non-judgemental examination of whether there is a "right" way to share our money with those we love, and what everyone else does behind closed doors. A book that none of us want to admit we need.How do you decide who picks up the bill, or what goes in the joint account? Is your partner being generous or controlling? Is this house mine if your parents paid most of the deposit? How much are you prepared to spend to have a baby? When should we give money to our kids, our mum and dad, our siblings, our community? Should they pay us back? What does everyone else do? Why don't we know? And why does it feel so agonisingly awkward to ask?This is a book of personal finance advice told through real stories about other people's modern money and relationship dilemmas.Laura speaks to financial advisers and wealth managers, marriage counsellors and matchmakers, philosophers, religious leaders, funeral directors and divorce lawyers, to get to the bottom of the questions that can be much more fundamental to our wealth and happiness than where to put our savings.

The Modern Money Questions That Could Save Your Relationships

Yours or Mine?

Examines whether the rule of law can endure without its natural law and metaphysical foundations, arguing for a renewed, human-centered legal order grounded in objective moral principles and capable of addressing contemporary challenges such as AI, technocracy, and decolonization.
This provocative interdisciplinary volume addresses a mounting global crisis: the erosion of the rule of law in an increasingly secular and technological world. As societies move into what the authors call the "fourth era" of legal history, the rule of law is frequently reduced to a mere "toolkit" for elites or a "checklist" for bureaucratic efficiency, stripped of its deeper moral and transcendent roots. The book explores a vital question: can legal systems remain just when they are "truncated of transcendence" and disconnected from a higher moral order? By sifting through the legacies of legal giants like Lon Fuller and theologians like Karl Barth, the contributors argue that a purely procedural "inner morality" is insufficient to protect human dignity against authoritarian relapses or the cold logic of "technocratisation." 
Central to the book's unique vision is a multivalent, pluralistic re-envisioning of global norms. Drawing on the Christian philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd, specifically his concept of "sphere sovereignty," the authors propose a framework where diverse religious and secular traditions can collaborate without sacrificing their distinct identities. This approach offers a powerful way to decolonize the rule of law, moving away from "one-size-fits-all" Western impositions toward a culturally sensitive synthesis of universal principles and local traditions. 
The text also tackles the controversial relationship between Natural Law and the 10 Commandments, debating whether positive laws should be grounded in "naturally knowable" truths or specific religious revelations in a pluralistic state. 
Looking toward the future, the authors issue a stark warning against the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) in legal adjudication. They argue that replacing human value judgments with machine-driven algorithms threatens to eliminate the discretion and relational interaction essential to true justice. To counter this, the book calls for educational reform and a shift toward "principled legal education" that prioritizes ethics, restorative justice, and a "facts first" approach. Ultimately, this work is a call to action for legal professionals, theologians, and the public to reclaim law as a framework for human flourishing-a "language of love" between the divine and the human that protects the vulnerable from the arbitrary exercise of power.

Reclaiming Justice Through Natural Law

The Rule of Law, Human Dignity and the Future of Democracy

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.

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.

Indigenous Justice in Bolivia and the Limits of Plurinational Constitutionalism

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

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 book explores the foundations of the principle of altruism and its relationship to the criminal law, examining the contrasting justifications for the duty of easy rescue and the duty of tolerance, both of which are based on altruism. Since the days of Lord Macaulay and James FitzJames Stephen, it has been said that English law does not usually punish omissions, and that altruistic duties are incompatible with the spirit of the common law. This book aims to show that this is not an accurate description of English criminal law, and that there is a strong case to be made for the opposite understanding, based on principles advanced by authors such as Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill and others. By analysing the duty of easy rescue - which imposes on individuals a duty to take steps to rescue a person in danger if this can be done without risk to the rescuer, or at least a duty to call the emergency services - and by comparing it with the well-known duties arising in cases of extreme necessity, it can be shown that altruism has plenty to say in different parts of the criminal law. Having established the case for criminalising the failure to provide a simple rescue, a detailed analysis is made of the form that this criminalisation should take, bearing in mind the basic principles of English law and considering the strengths and weaknesses of the duty of easy rescue as it is formulated in various continental systems, including the German, French, Spanish and Italian criminal codes.

Duties of Rescue and Tolerance

Altruism and the Criminal Law

This book offers fresh perspectives on the role of addiction in prior fault culpability by integrating legal, psychological, neuroscientific and philosophical dimensions. Are intoxicated defendants responsible for harms they cause to persons and property when intoxicated? Should they be criminally liable for those harms, even if they act without intention or control? What if their intoxicated state is associated with addiction? Analysing the complex interactions between addiction, intoxication and law, prior fault is addressed from various jurisdictions including predominantly England and Wales, Scotland, and the Netherlands, while also incorporating multiple disciplines, thereby discussing prior fault structures from overarching, non-jurisdictional perspectives. These different disciplines and legal systems are not merely described but closely integrated through co-authored chapters, involving academics from different disciplinary fields and legal traditions. This collection is a thorough resource for students, academics, researchers, and practising lawyers who aim to deepen their understanding of the law's approach towards addiction and intoxication. Moreover, it illustrates the importance of a collaborative approach between different legal traditions and interdisciplinary scientific understanding, thereby laying the groundwork for future legal reforms, informed legal practice, and research.

Comparative Perspectives on Addiction and Intoxication

Criminal Law and Prior Fault

This book presents a contemporary perspective on legal rights centred on the longstanding will theory-interest theory debate. Starting with classical rights literature, central aspects of the debate in its modern idiom are contextualised within a social theory setting developed from the writings of Max Weber. The book explores the idea that the institutional and coercive character of legal enforcement necessitates viewing legal rights as a locus of social power residing within the 'institutional imagination': that is, in the decision-making of key institutional actors such as judges, prosecutors, police, governmental authorities - and ultimately supreme court judges - who routinely mobilise coercive mechanisms towards the enforcement of legal rights and powers. This marks a departure from the trend of rights literature to view legal rights largely from the standpoint of the right-holder. The book also touches on whether the emerging perspective points towards a 'third way' beyond the traditional two theoretical approaches. A major task of the study is the construction of an archetypal supreme court judge - personifying the 'institutional imagination' - fashioned, via Weberian sociology, from a critique of Ronald Dworkin's 'Herculean' judge and measured against doctrinal exegesis that draws on sources which include UK higher appellate court judgments.

Legal Rights and the Institutional Imagination

What nobody tells you about power, money, and winning in business There is a moment most executives recognize but rarely talk about. You're sitting in a meeting where the language is polite, the slide deck is professional, and everyone in the room knows someone is about to get destroyed. The budget. The team. The product. The career. They call it a strategic review. What it actually is? A knife fight with better lighting. Business isn't fair. Meritocracy is largely a fiction. The people who talk like sages are usually improvising behind the scenes, and the gap between the official version of how companies work and what actually happens inside them is exactly where careers are built-or quietly ended. The Trick Is Not Minding That It Hurts is the book that lives in that gap. It is a blunt, unsentimental field guide to how the system actually works and how to survive it without losing your sanity. After two decades inside the world's most competitive environments-including senior leadership roles at Facebook, Alibaba, and Expedia, followed by years in the private equity trenches-Lee McCabe has seen how power is built, how decisions are really made, and why the "official story" is often the most dangerous one to believe. If you are ready to stop being naive and start navigating the real world of business, this is your guide.

What Nobody Tells You About Power, Money, and Winning in Business

The Trick Is Not Minding That It Hurts

The modern field of comparative international law emerged in the last century, but it still suffers from a lack of intellectual and methodological foundations. This ambitious collection fills that gap. It examines the key concepts of comparative international law, including its historical and critical perspectives. Contributors from a wide geographical range present their diverse and thought-provoking views on international and comparative law. This is a much-needed and cutting-edge book on an undervalued yet topical field of research.
