The Palgrave Handbook of Arctic Policy
and Politics

The Palgrave Handbook of Arctic Policy and Politics

"How powerful are EU external relations? For a long time, the law in this field was seen merely as an adjunct to constitutional law and the law of internal markets. However, in the last 20 years it has become a key tenet of the European Union, as globalisation and cross-border challenges have taken hold. Few have done more to shape the field's evolution than Marise Cremona, and this collection pays tribute to her immense contribution. In addition to assessing the power of the EU on the global stage, the book explores how its institutions and indeed people navigate transnational and global relations"--

EU External Relations and the Power of Law

This book traces the evolution of the rule of forfeiture in the UK and other common law countries (Australia/NZ/Canada) alongside the development of the US public policy doctrine.

Space and Society

This book provides a general overview as well as country-specific details of the role that space technology is currently playing and can potentially play in enhancing human lives and fulfilling the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in selected South Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka). Focusing on the unique requirements and situations that exist in each of the selected countries, it provides country-specific analysis and recommendations. Analysis of national policies and laws have been carried out so as to maximize the benefits of space technology, with a view to making this sector a potent enabler and contributor in each country’s march toward attainment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, thereby to overall development.

Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law

In the classical law of nations there was a doctrine of civil war. This book sets out to recover the forgotten legal tradition that shaped the modern world from 1575-1975. The result is an autonomous reassessment of four hundred years of the law of insurgencies and revolutions, both in state practice and in legal scholarship. Its journey through centuries of rebellion and the rule of law touches some of the most basic questions of international law across ages. What does it mean to stand among the nations of the world? Who should be welcomed among the subjects of international law, who should not, and who should decide? Its findings not only help make the classical doctrine understandable again, but also offer potential new insights for present-day lawyers about the origins, aspirations and vulnerabilities of the legal tradition with which they work today.

The Classical Doctrine of Civil War in International Law

Governments around the world are privatizing everything, with dramatic but largely ignored negative consequences for human rights. This open access book outlines the response that is urgently needed. Corporations are being given control over water, healthcare, housing, public transportation, child welfare services, aged care, and much else. Privatization is promoted by international financial institutions, consulting firms, and development actors as the answer to public finances devastated by the very tax cuts insistently pushed by these groups. Their pitch is based upon a mythology that extols the virtues of an idealized market while ignoring the heavy human rights costs incurred. Building on the latest evidence and on specially commissioned case studies, this book shows how the touted 'efficiency' of the private sector is often predicated on higher charges and/or reduced services, destructive employment practices, and the highly predictable exclusion of many users. Privatization generally costs states more money, marginalizes democratic decision-making, and transforms citizens from rights-holders into customers while sidelining accountability. The authors develop an approach designed to enable human rights actors, including courts, UN treaty monitoring bodies, and NGOs to move beyond their longstanding agnosticism towards privatization. It starts with a presumption that privatization is inherently retrogressive in human rights terms. Whatever mix of public and private is reflected in any given arrangement, governments must retain the degree of control necessary to ensure respect for rights, and the legal, financial and administrative ability to do so. The book charts a new direction for responding to the ever-growing threat that privatization poses to human rights.

Elections, Voting, Technology

“This timely book delivers some well-deserved attention to local government and municipal elections. The main findings, that early voting does not increase turnout in local elections, will give election observers and reformers something to think about.”

 “Gayle Alberda advances our theoretical and substantive knowledge on the impacts of early in-person voting periods on the low information, low exposure, and low turnout contexts that are municipal elections, and advises caution on pinning democratic hopes on innovations like early in-person voting periods.”

 “Professor Alberda's systematic analysis fills an important gap in our understanding of this issue. Her findings should give pause to those who think that early voting is a panacea to our participation problem in the United States. Scholars and voting advocates alike should pay attention to this important book.”

 Early voting has transformed Election Day, which has profound effects on voter turnout. An analysis of this popular election reform indicates the relationship between early voting and turnout is incredibly complex. As the findings of this book reveal, early voting lowers turnout in local elections. With the growing partisan controversy surrounding early voting policies and the decrease of early voting periods in many states, understanding the relationship between early voting and turnout is paramount, especially in local elections where turnout is devastatingly low.Gayle A.

Good Judgment

Das Handbuch gibt einen umfassenden und detaillierten Überblick über die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die vielfältigen Handlungsfelder und die aktuellen Entwicklungstendenzen der kommunalen Sozialpolitik. Das thematische Spektrum reicht dabei von der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe über die Armuts-, Beschäftigungs- und Integrationspolitik bis hin zur Gesundheits-, Pflege- und Seniorenpolitik. Präsentiert werden sowohl zentrale Themen, Fragestellungen und Diskussionslinien der sozialpolitischen Forschung der letzten Jahrzehnte als auch neuere politische und sozialstrukturelle Entwicklungen und Praxisperspektiven. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach den sozialpolitischen Gestaltungsspielräumen und -grenzen sowie den empirisch beobachtbaren Varianzen lokaler Politik.
