The Asian Yearbook of Human Rights and

The Asian Yearbook of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law

Volume 10

When did the federal government's self-appointed, essentially limitless authority over Native America become constitutional?&nbsp;&nbsp;The story they have chosen to tell is wrong. It is time to tell a better story. Thus begins Keith Richotte's playful, unconventional look at Native American and Supreme Court history. At the center of his account is the mystery of a massive federal authority called plenary power.&nbsp;&nbsp;When the Supreme Court first embraced plenary power in the 1880s it did not bother to seek any legal justification for the decision – it was simply rooted in racist ideas about tribal nations. By the 21st century, however, the Supreme Court was telling a different story, with opinions crediting the U.S. Constitution as the explicit source of federal plenary power.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, when did the Supreme Court change its story? Just as importantly, why did it change its story? And what does this change mean for Native America, the Supreme Court, and the rule of law? In a unique twist on legal and Native history, Richotte uses the genre of trickster stories to uncover the answers to these questions and offer an alternative understanding.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Worst Trickster Story Ever Told provides an irreverent, entertaining synthesis of Native American legal history across more than 100 years, reflecting on race, power, and sovereignty along the way. By embracing the subtle, winking wisdom of trickster stories, and centering the Indigenous perspective, Richotte opens up new avenues for understanding this history. We are able, then, to imagine a future that is more just, equitable, and that better fulfills the text and the spirit of the Constitution.

The Worst Trickster Story Ever Told

For the last thirty years, Eric Francis has covered crime in Vermont, the state with, according to the statistics, the lowest crime rate in the nation. But statistics are statistics and people are people, and Eric, who calls himself the last of the living dinosaurs, is out there day after day reporting on robberies, assaults, car accidents, and the rising tide of drug overdoses due to fentanyl. It's far from quiet in the safest state in the US. Every day brings something new and more often than not strange (in a Vermont way). As recently as six years ago, there would have been other reporters and photographers covering these stories. Now, in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, Eric is the only local journalist on the scene, any scene. This book chronicles the life and times of one of the very last people paying attention to what's really going on in a rural New England that only seems tranquil... Dispatches from individual lives, as they happen: Each short book originates in short confidences recorded by individuals during borrowed moments from their interesting lives. Set amidst some of our most pressing contemporary predicaments and edited by award-winning writers Peter Orner and Laura Lampton Scott, Dispatches captures some of the highs and lows of daily human endurance.

China hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine beeindruckende Transformation vollzogen. Dennoch wird das Bild Chinas in der westlichen Welt oft von veralteten Vorstellungen und Klischees bestimmt. Verstehen wir tatsächlich die chinesische Gesellschaft, ihre Menschen und ihre Wirtschaft? Und wie konnte es gelingen, einen derart rasanten wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg zu realisieren?Das wirtschaftliche Gravitationszentrum der Welt verlagert sich, weg vom Atlantik und Europa, hin zum Pazifikraum. Die chinesische Regierung bereitet sich strategisch auf dieses neue Zeitalter des 21. Jahrhunderts vor. Europa und die Europäische Union sollten es ihr gleichtun. Dafür ist jedoch entscheidend, dass wir uns zunächst darüber klar werden, welche Ziele und Interessen wir in dieser neuen globalen Ordnung verfolgen wollen.&nbsp;Der InhaltDieses Buch soll mit verschiedenen Sichtweisen dazu beitragen ein Verständnis zu schaffen, Wissen zu vermitteln und persönliche Erfahrungen zu teilen. Denn nur Offenheit und gegenseitiger Respekt kann dazu dienen, China zu verstehen, besonders aus deutscher Sicht.Mit Beiträgen von: Julian Backhaus, Rolf Claessen, Ashley Dudarenok, Martina Fuchs, Emanuela Hanes, Dagobert Hartmann, Stefanie Liliane Hegger, Jutta Hensel, Alexandra Hildebrandt, Manfred Huschka, Stephan Jüngling, Francis Kremer, Anastasia Lauterbach, Helmut Merkel, Derek Meyer, René Ruschmeier, Michael Schumann, Sophia Slingerland, Patrick Soureck, Alexandra Stefanov, Urs Unkauf, Wai Manske Wang, Thomas Cherico Wanger, Ilka Waßmann, Christoph Weber, Miriam Wickertsheim, Kevin Johannes Woerner, Mingqi Xie, Wanze Zhang und Moonie Zhu.&nbsp;Der Herausgeber&nbsp;Tobias W.

A Commentary

The European Convention on Human Rights

If you want to know more about living trusts, this book is here to help. Make Your Living Trust gives you straightforward and easy-to-understand information about how living trusts: <ul> <li>compare to wills</li> <li>pass property to beneficiaries without probate</li> <li>provide for minor children, and</li> <li>help protect against unexpected incapacity.</li> </ul> You might have heard about living trusts and have a general sense that you should make one. But if you're like most people, you're not exactly sure why or how to do it. If this sounds like you, Make Your Living Trust provides the information and support you need to make informed estate planning decisions. For many people, living trusts are a useful tool to keep their property out of probate. This makes a lot of sense because probate often makes the process of wrapping up an estate more complicated and expensive than it needs to be. And there are other reasons to make a living trust -- a living trust allows you to authorize someone to take care of your property in case of incapacity, and (unlike wills) living trusts keep your personal business private. That said, not everyone needs a living trust. Many people need only a will and a durable power of attorney. Others might use those in conjunction with pay-on-death accounts or transfer-on-death deeds. Compared to other estate planning tools, living trusts can be more expensive to create and more complicated to live with. So, you don't want to go through the trouble and expense of making one if you don't need to. Make Your Living Trust helps you think through these and many other trust-related issues. For example, it helps you weigh the pros and cons of making a living trust yourself versus having an attorney draw one up. It also covers questions that might come up as you make a living trust (with or without a lawyer), like: <ul> <li>What types of property work well in a living trust?</li> <li>Can you and your spouse make a living trust together?</li> <li>What is the role of a successor trustee?</li> <li>Who decides when minor children receive their inheritance?</li> <li>How do you transfer property into your living trust?</li> <li>What makes a living trust legal?</li> <li>Where should you store your living trust?</li> <li>Do you have to register your trust or share it with your family?</li> <li>What other estate planning documents might you need?</li> </ul> Make Your Living Trust can help with all of this and more. It will be your steady companion as you learn about wills and trusts and start to craft your estate plan.

New Zealand Yearbook of International Law

Studies in International Trade and Investment Law

This book charts a pioneering course for researchers and policy makers seeking to understand, navigate and influence the decentralised international legal order. It invites readers on an exploratory journey that treats international trade, investment and tax law as laboratories for the application of the complexity framework to public international law. It describes familiar international legal regimes in unfamiliar terms by shining a light on trade, investment and tax as living sub-systems inside a self-organising network. Drawing on the vocabulary and metaphors of the complexity framework, such as emergence, feedback, attractors and path-dependency, the book explores why treaties proliferate, why some legal reforms stagnate and others cascade, and where small, well-placed interventions can redirect the whole. Moving beyond descriptive frames, the book supplies a predictive lens and a practical toolbox for steering international law, for example, towards increased resilience. A rich repertoire of examples and vivid metaphors show how legal evolution is shaped. The book's critical reflections keep the promise of complexity grounded in normative debates. Written for readers with only a basic background in the regimes that govern international economic relations and no prior knowledge of complexity, the book introduces a novel frame of reference to the study of public international law. This book is written for anyone worried about incoherence, fascinated by interconnectedness, and searching for levers of change.

Interaction and Evolution in International Economic Law

Public International Law as a Complex Adaptive System

Americans take it for granted that the states of the union make up an economic common market. But that is the case only because early in the nation's history the Supreme Court ruled that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution establishes a principle--sometimes called the "dormant Commerce Clause" principle--that blocks individual states from cutting off the free flow of cross-border trade. From the 1820s onward the Court has issued hundreds of rulings applying this doctrine to prevent the states from imposing tariff-like taxes, local processing requirements, and other restrictions on the free movement of goods and services across state lines. The result for the nation has been, as Justice Robert Jackson once observed, a "material success that . . . has been the most impressive in the history of commerce." After joining the Court in 1986 Justice Antonin Scalia challenged the dormant Commerce Clause principle as an illegitimate judicial innovation at odds with a proper "originalist" interpretation of the Constitution. This critique, moreover, quickly picked up steam as other prominent jurists and commentators--most notably, Justice Clarence Thomas--gave it their enthusiastic support. Is the originalist challenge to the dormant Commerce Clause rule well-founded? In The Common-Market Constitution, Coenen argues that the answer is no. Like Justice Scalia, Coenen focuses on discovering the original public meaning of the Commerce Clause. According to Coenen, however, the text and history of that clause compel a conclusion that is the direct opposite of the one that Justice Scalia reached. As Coenen demonstrates, a proper originalist assessment of the dormant Commerce Clause principle requires consideration of a sweeping body of text- and history-based evidence that ranges far beyond what critics of that principal rule have focused on in the past. A full and fair appraisal of that evidence, Coenen argues, leaves no doubt that the constitutional rule that the Court has long applied to safeguard the American common market does reflect the original public meaning of the Commerce Clause.

Studies in Private International Law - Asia

This book is the only reference in English on private international law in Uzbekistan. Dispelling a common misconception that the law of ex-USSR countries is largely the same, the book provides an authoritative account of private international law in Uzbekistan, as well as the role the country plays in the harmonisation of private international law in the region and beyond. The chapters provide authoritative guidance on conflict-of-law rules, issues of jurisdiction in contractual and non-contractual matters, as well as the practice and procedure of enforcement of foreign judgements and arbitral awards in Uzbekistan. The book is the first that systematically explores private international law in Uzbekistan and is an essential tool in understanding the peculiarities of the country and their impact on legal practice.
