The Fear of Erring

Mistrust, Ignorance, and Imagination in the Argentine Justice System

&lt;p&gt;Introduction.- Losing Sight.- Mistrust.- The Heat Is On.- Ignorance.- Can’t Calm Down.- Imagination.- In Another World.-&amp;nbsp;Final Remarks.&lt;/p&gt;


This open access book explores law, politics, and inequality in fights against infectious diseases. Guided by a theoretical framework called "governing through contagion", the studies in this book analyse how past and present governments have tried to combat contagious diseases, such as the bubonic plague, cholera, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19.

They examine how these governments used law and other technologies, including waste management, mask-wearing, quarantine stations, house inspections, and the burning of entire neighbourhoods, to achieve their aims of protecting populations and ensuring productivity. 

Although the studies recognise the power of the state, they simultaneously emphasise the active roles of technologies and creatures, drawing attention to the often-taken-for-granted workings of the non-human in public health governance. They also consider the implications of strategies of control on marginalised communities and democratic politics. Collectively, the studies in this book bring attention to the connections between COVID-19 responses by governments and their historical antecedents, shedding light on the role of capitalism, colonialism, and geopolitics in circulating contagions and the strategies used to control them.

Contagion, Technology, and Law at the Limits

This book explores the enduring significance of sacred landscapes in an increasingly globalized world, with a particular focus on the Christian sacred landscape and its connection to pilgrimage and rituals. Drawing on the latest research, it examines the interplay between global societal changes and historical traditions, offering a rich analysis of how sacred spaces shape and reflect cultural and social identities.Through a multidisciplinary lens encompassing cultural geography, anthropology, sociology of tourism, and religious geography, the book illuminates the role of pilgrimage in fostering community identity and preserving historical continuity. By comparing sacred sites and practices across diverse cultural contexts, it provides readers with a deeper understanding of their universal and localized meanings.This work also offers a comprehensive historical perspective, tracing the evolution of sacred landscapes over time and across regions. Accessible and thought-provoking, it invites readers from various disciplines to engage with the cultural, social, and spiritual dimensions of these powerful spaces.

Chinese Rule of Law Discourse System

This book analyses and investigates the neutral legal formulae of the English common law and the Italian and French civil law traditions, together with those used in international settings such as the European Union. It explores the usage of English formulae (and of their Italian and French counterparts) that are mentioned in terms of service, national and EU legislation, and in national and European parliamentary debates. The author takes a comparative approach to analysing the various corpora, carrying out cross-analyses to allow understanding of the usage(s) in contexts of neutral legal formulae. This reveals insights into word frequencies in the three languages and legal systems, as well as in different genres, and the book goes on to compare the relative frequencies of the neutral formulae across the three languages to investigate their variety. This book will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners in fields including linguistics, law, and corpus-based legal translation.Patrizia Giampieri
 is a adjunct professor of English at the University of Camerino, Italy. She received her MSc in Applied Linguistics from Aston University, UK, and her PhD in legal translation from the University of Malta. She has authored many academic articles on legal language, corpus-based translation, machine translation, and legal translation.

Tax matters. It structures our societies, influences our choices, and reflects our values. Yet the meaning and impact of taxation are constantly changing in step with a world marked by climate transitions, demographic shifts, digitalisation, globalisation, and migration.
This open access book addresses critical questions surrounding attitudes to tax and tax compliance through the lens of ‘fiscal belonging,’ demonstrating the value of qualitative approaches to tax research. It explores the lived experience of immigrants to the UK, and how feelings of belonging, exclusion, reciprocity, and obligation shape their encounters with the tax system. The book illuminates the many different facets of fiscal belonging, including the right to work and access to employment, as well as histories of colonialism and the economic history of different communities on a national scale. By foregrounding personal narratives and the complexity of social worlds, this book argues for more methodologically diverse and inclusive approaches to understanding why people do, or do not, pay tax. It will be of interest to scholars across disciplines, as well as tax professionals working in business, consultancy, and public administration.

Rethinking Taxation and Migration as Fiscal Belonging

Crossing Borders, Sharing Burdens

International Law and the Global South

This book contributes new insights into the construction and implementation of global justice across different constituencies in the Global South. In particular, it investigates the impact of NGOs and victims’ representatives on redress mechanisms for mass atrocities and violence, using the scholarly field of transitional justice. By utilising this scholarly lens, the book is able to draw into a wide range of discussions and mechanisms aimed at addressing mass violence and armed conflict in the Global South. These discussions are in line with the central question of how NGOs impact on the legitimacy of transitional justice processes. The book thus examines the question analytically and empirically, using the theory of legitimacy, as one of the ways in which to explain the power dynamics of global justice and institutions. It offers significant contributions to the existing literature on legitimacy in transitional justice, with country case specific examples of Uganda and Myanmar.
<div>While the book is broadly framed within the scholarly field of transitional justice, it draws on two branches of international law –International Human Rights Law (IHRL) and International Criminal Law (ICL). It also benefits from scholarship in the field of international relations to explicate the legitimacy and institutional power of NGOs and international courts. These disciplines are converged through the literature review and analysis. The book will make a new contribution by adding empirical data on NGO work in transitional justice from two case studies. The thrust of the argument is that NGOs either enhance or reduce the legitimacy of transitional justice mechanisms. The concept of legitimacy will be used to analyse the way in which transitional justice is implemented.</div>

Comparative Examination of African and Asian Contexts

Transnational Networks and Justice in the Global South

Legal transplant in the Meiji Restoration gave birth to 
 Taishinin
 , which is the former of today’s Supreme Court of Japan, but the objective of it was not solely for legal justice at the beginning. 
 Taishinin
 ’s criminalization of corruption as an offense was out of both legal and non-legal factors. Law is often unclear and general because legislator cannot foresee all 
 modus operandi
 in future. Judges’ judicial decision-making and sentencing practices have space to interpret it with opinions, discretion, legal consciousness and innovation for an immediate legal effect of criminal justice on society. This book applies robust judicial behavior concept to analyze how 
 Taishinin
 ’s judicial behavior of such factors rationalized its rulings on corruption cases. This is not only a matter of transplanted “Western jacket” of Germanic Penal Code, but also departmental internal instructions, integrity standards and traditional legal consciousness of unwritten codes of conduct. The original findings of this book reveal that 
 Taishinin
 ’s judicial behavior in corruption cases was subject to many non-legal considerations, such as historical development of anticorruption law, traditional jurisprudential concepts, mission of and commitment to judicial role, values, judge appointment, judicial training and the political impacts of Ministry of Justice’s administration of judiciary.&nbsp;

What are the different institutional, intellectual and biographical trajectories in socio-legal studies, and how can they be compared? This book brings together scholars from across Europe to reflect on the socio-political, legal and academic contexts in which they became the academics they are today. The chapters link individual scholars to the historical and contemporary factors that have shaped or influenced their work and careers - a novel approach that combines scholarly self-reflection with a historical perspective on the development of socio-legal studies between law and the social sciences. The editors provide a heuristic framework for comparing and making sense of these different, dual trajectories, and show how professional scholarly biographies can be both contextualised and analysed with a view to shedding light on broader academic fields, both nationally and internationally.

Masterpieces of Contemporary Jurisprudents in China

This book is the first academic monograph in China to comprehensively examine the concept, principles, and system of civil law from an ethical point of view. Under the background that China has promulgated the Civil Code, it is necessary to analyze the relevant contents of the Civil Code from all aspects, in depth and from various angles. The basic point of view is that China’s Civil Code should not only consider the advanced nature, but also take into account the national character, sublimation, and inheritance, and to meet the needs of modern society and demonstrate the ethical value. This book is highly readable, not only for professional research groups, but also for students and ordinary readers interested in Chinese civil law. This book is designated as a required reading list for law majors in many universities across China and is also published in Taiwan (PRC) and Japan.
