Combs S: THE JUST-IN-CASE PLAN

THE JUST-IN-CASE PLAN

Smart Strategies for Long term Care, Family Conversations and Legacy Protection

Lex Amicitia draws a long history of the law of friendship - from Aristotle to Derrida - into a contemporary context: scouring the backrooms, bars and ill-lit alcoves, the corridors and side-rooms where the interior engine of institutional decisions operates. The intimate public sphere is fueled by the affects of amity and enmity, identification and rejection, experience and projection in negotiating and deciding the fate of workaday lives. Using the example of law, and specifically of the legal academy in the Anglophone world, this book pieces together the hidden ties and the secret bondings, the erotics and the hostilities that play beneath the surface of public lives. Patiently reconstructing the apparitions of affect and amity as they are glimpsed in marginal moments and off-hours, peripheries and slips, emails and other unintended viscera, the structural role of the laws of friendship, the legal form of compact, concord and contract is reconstructed and expounded.

Lex Amicitia: An Anthropology of the Law of Amity

In theory, the Constitution recognizes individuals.
In practice, security regimes often recognize identities.
Suspect by Default is an inquiry into how terror narratives, once introduced as emergency responses, become normalized tools of governance. It explores how Muslim citizens-particularly those from marginalized backgrounds-are disproportionately drawn into the machinery of suspicion, often without credible evidence, and held there for years through procedural delays, restrictive bail laws, and media stigmatization.
This book traces the life cycle of suspicion:How names become files
How neighborhoods become "zones"
How preventive detention replaces investigation
How trials outlast innocence
How acquittal fails to restore dignity


Importantly, this is a pro-constitutional one.
It acknowledges that law enforcement operates under immense pressure and that terrorism is real. But it also insists that efficiency without accountability is dangerous, and that security without justice breeds alienation-the very condition terrorism exploits.
Each section of the book builds systematically:From ideology to mechanism
From arrest to aftermath
From individual suffering to structural incentives
From critique to reform


The ultimate argument is simple yet urgent:
A democracy that trades equality for expediency will lose both.
This book invites lawmakers, judges, journalists, students, and ordinary citizens to rethink how terror is fought-and at what cost.

Routledge Research in International Environmental Law

Global challenges and local remedies

Cross-border pollution and environmental disputes in EU law and beyond

This work adds an important new dimension to the literature on the Caribbean Court of Justice and on regional integration courts generally. Part I focuses on the operation of the CCJ itself, whilst Part II provides a comparative study of the CCJ and four other regional courts.

New Directions in Critical Criminology

Written by experts in the field, this book critically evaluates what restorative justice means today in its various different contexts and examines how the current state of research succeeds or fails in capturing the true state of the art.

Restorative Justice Practice

Multilateral environmental agreements have over the last four decades emerged as the preferred avenue to address inter-state environmental issues such as climate change. This book analyses the possibilities as well as the limitations of environmental treaty making between states. The book considers the structures and processes that lead to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement - and contrasting them with other attempts that failed in bringing states together under a legally-binding solution. Christina Voigt explores the whole "life-cycle" of multilateral environmental agreements. Also emphasised is the impact of emerging economies in shaping international environmental regimes.

Environmental Multilateralism and its Discontents

From the rise of China as a technological superpower, to wars on its eastern borders, to the belief that the US is no longer a reliable ally, the European Commission sees the world as more unstable than at any other time in recent history. As such, the Commission has become the Geopolitical Commission, working to serve the interests of the Geopolitical Union. Central to many of these conflicts is technology - who produces it, where it is produced, and who controls it. These questions are central to the Commission's pursuit of digital/technological sovereignty, Europe's attempt to regain control of technology regulation. Focusing on topics such as setting technological standards, ensuring access to microchips, reining in online platforms, and securing rules for industrial data and AI, this book explores the EU's approach to lawmaking in this field; increased regulatory oversight and promotion of industrial policy at home, while exporting its rules abroad.

Routledge Research in Human Rights Law

Taking a public international law law perspective, this book examines various issues and difficulties faced by human rights advocates in their effort to seek redress transnationally for victims of human rights abuses.

Jurisdiction, Immunity and Transnational Human Rights Litigation

This book analyses laws distinctively normative contribution to place-making. In an original, cross-disciplinary, analysis drawing on scholarship in law, geography, philosophy and politics, Antonia Layard considers how law operates in the fixing of borders that both protect and exclude. Centred upon four legal case studies - on public space; housing regulation; rules on the manifestation of religion; and geographic indications in intellectual property law - the book pursues a critical geographical consideration of how place is integral to ideas about identity, belonging and territory.

Routledge Research in Finance and Banking Law

This book tackles the challenge of holdout creditor disruption of sovereign debt restructuring, where creditors reject collective agreements to pursue full loan recovery in domestic courts.Critically examining the contemporary statutory and contractual approaches to sovereign debt restructuring, the book presents their usefulness and limitations, including the potential major impact of the doctrine of merger in rem judicatam. It proposes the duty of good faith (which is generally implied under U.S law, implied in certain categories of contract under English law, and widely recognized globally) applied in the context of sovereign debt as a relational contract, as a robust legal approach to combating such disruptions in domestic courts. Through rigorous analysis of case law and treatises, the book argues that sovereign debt contracts are relational contracts, invoking heightened good faith and equity obligations. With in-depth analysis of the contents and judicial applications of the duty of good faith in English and New York jurisprudence, it demonstrates how holdout actions violate good faith, and proffers a judicial approach, based on the duty of good faith, to sovereign debt restructuring as a viable alternative to current statutory and contractual approaches.This book will be of interest to practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in contract law, finance law, relational contract theory, good faith, and sovereign debt.

International Contractual and Statutory Adjudication

With the promise of greater efficiency and effectiveness, public authorities have increasingly turned to algorithmic systems to regulate and govern society. In Algorithmic Rule By Law, Nathalie Smuha examines this reliance on algorithmic regulation and shows how it can erode the rule of law. Drawing on extensive research and examples, Smuha argues that outsourcing important administrative decisions to algorithmic systems undermines core principles of democracy. Smuha further demonstrates that this risk is far from hypothetical or one that can be relegated to authoritarian regimes, as many of her examples are drawn from public authorities in liberal democracies that are already making use of algorithmic regulation. Focusing on the European Union, Smuha argues that the EU's digital agenda is misaligned with its aim to protect the rule of law. Novel and timely, this book should be read by anyone interested in the intersection of law, technology, and government. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
