How AI Exposed an Unmeasured Legal System-And What Comes Next

Earthscan Food and Agriculture

This book delves into Scotland's evolving food system, uncovering the challenges of change, tracing food policy progress since devolution in 1999, and envisioning bold strategies for the next 25 years.Food system transformation is a key global challenge for this century. This challenge is evident in Scotland where plentiful food co-exists with food insecurity, where food waste appears intractable and farm animal welfare is compromised, and where the food system in its current form is incompatible with meeting national and global goals for climate and nature. Written by a food policy insider, this book discusses what a single country can do to tackle these problems and contribute to wider change. The book is grounded in a right-to-food perspective, and describes both the necessity of, and the opportunity for, a repurposing of the food system from a focus on commodity production and trade to a focus on nutrition equity and environmental restoration. It challenges some of the faulty maps still in use which are a poor guide to food system change, such as the idea that Scotland's priority is to feed the world, that food redistribution has a significant impact on either waste or poverty, or that educating people to make better choices is an effective strategy. It argues for more assertive governance of Scotland's food system, both by national and local governments using the new duties set out in Scotland's 2022 Good Food Nation Act. This should include active engagement of civil society, in keeping with the Scottish approach of collaborative policymaking. The book focuses on Scotland's food policy journey while recognising the transferability of this experience to other subnational contexts, drawing on the author's experience as a key participant in that journey over the last 15 years.This book will be of great interest to students, scholars and policymakers interested in food and agricultural policy, as well as those interested in sustainable food systems, public health, and social policy more widely.

Nourishing Scotland

This book investigates measures to increase diversity in the legal profession of England and Wales and the impact of equality law on what has been done, focussing on how law enables organisations lawfully to take positive or affirmative action. The book combines a qualitative interview study of lawyers, legal regulators, recruitment consultants and other civil society actors, with analysis of developments in the legal profession, in equality law and in understanding of the role of law in society. The evidence paints a puzzling picture of the law on positive action being both very little known and seen as limiting what employers do to advance equality, much as significant positive action has been taken anyway, at least in this section of the legal profession. The glimpse into legal practice revealed complex attitudes, persistent barriers to fundamental change, and, in hindsight, that the larger forces driving inequality mean that liberalizing positive action laws was never likely to make much difference. This case study therefore cautions against overestimating equality law's power to deliver change while putting forward strategies for enhancing its effectiveness. At the broadest level, the book argues for frank acknowledgment of law's limitations, a stronger focus on understanding how legal interventions function in practice before deploying them, and for the full implications of law's limits to be traced through in politics and society. The urgent need is for renewed effort to discover and build other mechanisms for addressing inequality and the many other major challenges we currently face.

Diversity in the Legal Profession

A fascinating deep dive into the dynamic interplay between culture, economics, institutions, and human prosperity. In Pathway to Change, Naci Mocan investigates the economic origins of current cultural beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, highlighting the lasting impact of historical agricultural practices and ecological conditions. He shows that cultural traits evolve in response to external shocks—such as exposure to violence, changes in institutional quality, and the laws and law enforcement—and argues that culture and institutions influence each other: culture shapes the functioning of institutions, while institutions also mold cultural norms. As a result, the success of institutional reforms depends heavily on the cultural context in which they are implemented. Drawing on research from various fields—including economics, evolutionary biology, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, and political science—the author describes how cultural attributes such as trust, honesty, patience, preference for leisure, morality, individualism, and proclivity for violence shape economic outcomes and individual well-being. The book presents evidence on both intergenerational transmission of culture and horizontal transmission within the members of the same generation. It also describes how culture can be shaped and transformed, emphasizing the roles of media, education, laws and law enforcement, and role models. Finally, the book recommends that undesirable cultural attributes that are detrimental to our well-being, determined by scientific criteria, should be modified, and offers policy tools that can be deployed for cultural change.

An indispensable guide to dealing with disasters from one of today's foremost thinkers in crisis management, now updated with a new afterword"In a world marred by preventable miscalculation, Juliette Kayyem's The Devil Never Sleeps provides a playbook for making it out alive." -The New YorkerThe future may be unpredictable, but nowadays, disasters are not. We live in a time of consistent catastrophe, where things more often go wrong than right. So why do we still fumble when crisis strikes?In The Devil Never Sleeps, Juliette Kayyem outlines a radical new way to prepare for disasters. Traditional principles of crisis management, focused on preventing disasters, are no longer viable. We need a forward-thinking approach that allows us to respond, recover, and build more resilience when crisis occurs. Drawing on her experience in national security and assessing real-life examples-from natural disasters like the California wildfires to human-made ones like airplane collisions-Kayyem identifies common lessons that can be implemented now to limit harm in the future. The Devil Never Sleeps is an essential guide for developing strategies that actually work in the face of perpetual catastrophe.

Fentanyl is a first-person, insider account of how the crisis consumed the Biden Administration amid a series of other national security emergencies. It follows Jake Braun, a senior White House official, and his colleagues while they scramble to respond to the epidemic. As Mexican cartels ruthlessly executed their most radical transformation in 50 years, Braun and his colleagues architected the first U.S. government wide strategy to combat fentanyl in history. The effort brought him to Mexico to meet with Mexican agents who kick down cartel doors for the U.S. government there. He also spent time with data analytics wizards buried in nondescript offices in Virginia suburbs that hunt down Chinese fentanyl precursor chemicals on the Dark Web. He even takes a detour to gather intelligence from Russian migrants in U.S. detention facilities that migrated through cartel-controlled areas of Mexico. In the process, Braun uncovered the remarkable transformation cartels in Mexico underwent over the last 50 years. They morphed from narco-empires the size of Fortune 50 companies specializing in marijuana and cocaine to ones specializing in human migration and, separately, fentanyl. After much painstaking effort, the Biden Administration successfully executed the most sweeping takedown of cartel leadership and fentanyl infrastructure since the crisis began. Due to the efforts of heroic agents, intelligence officers and national security experts, the leviathan U.S. government is now marshaled in ways never before imagined against the Chinese chemical companies and cartels propagating the fentanyl epidemic. Further, the strategy seems to be working. Just a year after it was kicked off, the fentanyl fatalities dropped nearly 37%. Yet the crisis persists. Finally, Braun draws on his unique experience combating the epidemic to outline how the U.S. government can once and for all end the fentanyl crisis in America.

Since the 1970s, large corporations have increasingly relied on in-house legal services rather than external counsel. Maximilian Meisgeier analyzes this shift through the lens of information and institutional economics, advocating for a modern, economics-based regulation of the legal services market.

Intersecting Police Liability with Neurobiology

JUDGED IN SECONDS

No part of the field of jurisprudence today is more lacking in legal scholarship than the concept of law, although it is eminently relevant. First, the statist concept of law that prevailed for a long time considered any government imperative as a law and transformed it into a rule of mandatory behavior. Voluntary orders of political power, rather than theoretical reasoning, determined what law was and what law a political regime needed. Questions about the essence of law were 'excluded' from the scope of jurisprudence. Second, the transition to another value system reveals the inadequacy of the proper definitions of law. Therefore, it is necessary to rethink how value reorientations affect today's security of human rights, in harmony with the prevailing concept of law. And third, under the influence of the concept of statutory law, any law was considered law. Today, the danger of such an approach is understood. The law is being assessed as to whether it complies with the Constitution and the principles of law. Only by understanding what law is can we determine what laws must be in place to consider them part of the legal system.

From Concept to Reality

Routledge Studies in Sustainable Development

The world stands at a pivotal juncture, grappling with two opposing forces: the urgent need for accelerated sustainability transitions through collaboration and peacebuilding, and the rise of climate-denying authoritarianism alongside resource-driven geopolitical conflicts. This book confronts this critical choice, arguing that the survival of human civilisation hinges on embracing the sustainability transition rather than resisting it.Building on the foundational ideas of polycrisis and just transitions introduced in its first edition, this updated volume delves deeper into the dynamics of global change. Drawing inspiration from African relational thinking (the ukamian way), it challenges readers to engage with the evolutionary potential of the present and envision sustainable futures. While the adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 provided a framework for global progress, the post-pandemic world has fractured along multiple fault lines, amplifying despair and uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the book identifies emerging empirical and ideational trends that offer hope for a more equitable and sustainable future. It explores the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, highlighting the delicate balance between decarbonisation and social justice in an increasingly unequal world. It examines the resistance posed by authoritarian populism and toxic masculinities, which threaten progress.Ultimately, this book is a call to action, urging readers to understand the complexities of just transitions as a remedy for the polycrises humanity faces. It offers no easy answers but provides essential insights for those committed to building a sustainable and equitable world. This is a book about hope-hope grounded in the transformative power of informed action.

Just Transitions in a Complex World

The Age of Sustainability

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic futureIn a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; grocer Anthony Pena, who turned his frustrations with big box stores into a new grocers movement; and Doha Mekki, a Sudanese immigrant who developed the first successful criminal wage-fixing case for the Department of Justice; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism. Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.
