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

Identity, Inclusion and Rights Protection for LGBTQ+ People Across Africa

Queering African Law

A Financial Times Best Book of the Year The definitive biography of Zhou Enlai, the first premier and preeminent diplomat of the People's Republic of China, who protected his country against the excesses of his boss-Chairman Mao. Zhou Enlai spent twenty-seven years as premier of the People's Republic of China and ten as its foreign minister. He was also its legendary spymaster. Richard Nixon proclaimed him "the greatest statesman of our era." Yet Zhou has always been overshadowed by Chairman Mao. Chen Jian brings Zhou into the light, offering a nuanced portrait of a revolutionary and master diplomat whose vision shaped China and the broader world. Born to a declining mandarin family in 1898, Zhou received a classical education and as a teenager spent time in modernizing Japan. Zhou embraced communist revolution as a vehicle for China's own development, yet Zhou was never a committed Maoist. While he worked closely with the chairman, he used his extraordinary political and bureaucratic skill to mitigate the damage caused by Mao's radicalism and maintain China's international standing. When Zhou died in 1976, the China we know today was not yet visible on the horizon. He never saw a glistening Shanghai skyline or the emergence of Chinese capitalism. But the Chinese influence now felt in every corner of the globe rests on Zhou's work.

A Life

Zhou Enlai

This book investigates the structural limits of the principle of party initiative and the rule of congruence within the contemporary civil procedural system, with a primary focus on Brazilian law and a comparative outlook that resonates with other legal traditions. It critically examines how the liberal-individualist foundations of civil procedure—rooted in 18th- and 19th-century private law—continue to shape the concepts of jurisdiction, action, defense, and process, often in ways that are misaligned with the collective and complex nature of modern legal disputes.Through the lens of financial compensation for mineral exploitation, the work explores the dual role of the Public Power as both rights-holder and representative of diffuse interests, revealing the inadequacy of traditional procedural categories in addressing collective claims. This tension underscores the need to rethink the procedural framework, especially when the judiciary is called upon to act beyond the strict confines of party-submitted claims.The book proposes a shift toward a more systemic and public-oriented understanding of judicial activity, grounded in the principle of proportionality—understood here in its pan-procedural dimension. Rather than evaluating procedural guarantees solely within the boundaries of individual cases, it advocates for a broader analysis that considers the efficiency and legitimacy of the judiciary as a public service. Drawing on constitutional principles and comparative jurisprudence, it argues that judicial decisions must be guided by a balance between means and ends, ensuring that interventions are not only legally sound but also socially and economically justified.This approach is further developed through a critical analysis of the classification of legal actions and the effects of judicial decisions. The book revisits traditional distinctions—declaratory, constitutive, condemnatory, mandamental, and executive—highlighting their historical evolution and practical limitations. It challenges the rigidity of these categories, especially in contexts such as third-party embargoes and fraud against creditors, where procedural formalism can hinder effective legal protection. The discussion extends to the controversial admissibility of declaratory actions on facts, advocating for a more pragmatic and flexible interpretation that aligns with the realities of legal uncertainty and the need for judicial affirmation of rights and obligations.This work offers a renewed theoretical and practical framework for understanding the boundaries of judicial action. By integrating the principles of proportionality and adequate representation into the heart of procedural reasoning, it seeks to reconcile the individualistic origins of civil procedure with the demands of a complex, pluralistic, and constitutionally committed legal order.

European Contract Law

This book explores the theoretical foundations and practical implications of adopting a system of binding judicial precedents in civil law and mixed jurisdictions. Drawing from the author’s dual background in Latin American and European legal traditions, the book offers a groundbreaking framework for understanding precedents not merely as persuasive sources but as normative structures with formal binding authority. Written by Hermes Zaneti Jr., a renowned scholar and public prosecutor, this work emerges from a comparative constitutionalist perspective and engages deeply with the theory of Luigi Ferrajoli. It argues that the rise of stare decisis in hybrid systems like Brazil reflects both historical contingencies and a normative evolution toward legal certainty, equality, and rational adjudication. The book introduces the notion of normative precedents and classifies their binding force in three degrees, proposing an operational methodology for judges and courts to apply precedents while respecting constitutional principles such as judicial independence and the separation of powers. This sixth, revised edition includes updated doctrinal discussions, detailed comparative analysis, and a critical reflection on the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure (2015) and the constitutional role of the judiciary in rights protection. With its robust combination of legal theory, dogmatic analysis, and historical development, this book provides scholars, judges, and advanced students with a comprehensive model for integrating precedent into constitutional democracies without sacrificing fundamental guarantees. Ideal for academics in comparative constitutional law, legal theory, and procedural law, The Binding Value of Precedents contributes to global debates on the normative role of precedent, judicial discretion, and the epistemology of legal interpretation in post-formalist legal systems.

The Emergence of Stare Decisis in Civil Law and Mixed Jurisdictions

The Binding Value of Precedents

How people have reimagined the story of the ten plagues of Egypt, from antiquity to our own era of relentless catastrophe People have been telling and retelling stories about disasters for as long as they have been telling stories. One of the oldest of such stories is the ten plagues in the book of Exodus, the series of disasters that forced the Egyptians to liberate the Israelites. These plagues packed enough catastrophe to fill a series of summer blockbusters—rivers of blood, invasions of frogs and insects, mass disease, fiery hail, smothering darkness, and a midnight massacre of the firstborn. The story of the ten plagues resonates today, as we try to make sense of such calamities of modern life as pandemics, climate change, and war. In Disasters of Biblical Proportions, Steven Weitzman explores how people of later ages—artists, writers, activists, philosophers, believers and unbelievers alike—have reshaped the story of the ten plagues to give expression to their own trauma, outrage, guilt, humor, and hope. Tracing the interpretation and retelling of each plague across time and space, Weitzman uncovers how this ancient tale found new meaning among Jews, Christians, and Muslims and continues to shape how people today understand the present and envision the future. Even as it recounts the history of how the ten plagues have been reimagined, Disasters of Biblical Proportions is also a history of people’s search for shelter from the calamities of their own times—and of humanity’s striving for justice, freedom, and redemption.

This book employs deductive and inductive reasoning within traditional civil law normative analysis, supplemented by legal historical sociology research methods, to precisely trace the developmental trajectory and societal operational patterns of the law of obligations. Based on this, it derives both the intrinsic and extrinsic systems of the General Provisions on Obligations. By elucidating the contextual significance and systemic functions of the General Principles of Obligations, this monograph achieves theoretical integration between the Contract Law and Tort Law sections of the Chinese Civil Code, thereby enhancing the code's systemic efficacy. From historical, systemic, and functional perspectives, it comprehensively analyzes the legislative and academic origins of the General Principles, their internal and external frameworks, and their roles in value coordination and normative unification. It simultaneously demonstrates how internal system values achieve coherent integration, how external system efficacy is maximized, and the mediating role of flexible system theory in reconciling conflicts between the two. Furthermore, adopting a micro-level perspective, the book explores the normative functions of the General Principles of Obligations as manifested in doctrines such as unified restitution claims, joint and several liability, and competing claims on a debt. This jurisprudential monograph is intended for civil law scholars worldwide.
