Landmark Cases

Part of the iconic Landmark Cases series, this book brings the most significant cases in charity law together for the first time. More than four hundred years have passed since the concept of charity was first given statutory legal form in England in the Statute of Charitable Uses of 1601. This book explores the substantial body of judge-made rules and principles developed since then, highlighting a carefully curated selection of the landmark cases which have shaped charity law. Each chapter analyses one or more judicial decisions, setting them in their historical context, explaining their contemporary importance, and considering their future relevance. The selected cases cover a broad range of topics. Some go to the heart of what it means to be a charity, elucidating charity's legal definition and public benefit requirement. Others demonstrate how charity law has been shaped by its interaction with other bodies of law, including trust law, company law and equality law, and by emerging tensions between trustees' overriding duty to further the charity's purposes and broader moral obligations or ethical considerations. The book has a core focus on English precedents, but the cases are touchstones in many jurisdictions. Our contributors therefore include scholars, judges and practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, as well as from the UK. The result is a book that sheds new light on the application and development of charity law's defining rules and principles across the common law world.

International Political Theory

This collection reviews Hegel in relation to the key themes of history, politics and philosophy. It shows how Hegel is a historical thinker, whose theories are
developed via a philosophical consideration of historical development at a number of levels. Hegel’s expertise in the history of philosophy leads him to
recognize the distinctiveness of the present, while building upon philosophical predecessors. This perspective sheds light on Hegel’s distinctive reading of the
political, which is both insightful and timely. Hegel’s reading of political economy emerges out of his conception of modernity and remains relevant to contemporary conceptions of civil society. Likewise Hegel’s focus upon the international remains of great moment in that he shows the interplay between internal and external forms of sovereignty. Hegel’s global perspective on international politics remains of relevance today and it bears upon his understanding of internal state sovereignty and history. This volume ends with a synoptic reading of Hegel today, which reviews him critically in the light of his problematic reading of race, sex and Eurocentrism. The essays in this volume reflect Gary Browning’s engagement with Hegel over a number of years, and, collectively, they show how Hegel’s political theory is linked to his reading of history and philosophy, and they make a case for the continued relevance of Hegel’s political and international theory.

Marx's Capital

"Read this book to understand human nature." (Preet Bharara) • "An amazing story, well told.” (Anderson Cooper) • "A masterful telling." (Dahlia Lithwick) From CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams, a revelatory account of how one man, four teenagers, and a struggling city collided over race, vigilantism, and public safety . . . exposing the fault lines of a nation On a dirty New York subway car on December 22, 1984, Bernhard Goetz shot Barry Allen, Darrell Cabey, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur, four teenagers from the Bronx, at point blank range. Goetz claimed they were going to mug him; the teens claim that one of them had simply asked for five dollars. Crime was at an all-time high. So was racial tension. Was Goetz, who was white, a hero who finally fought back? Or a bigot whose itchy trigger finger seriously wounded three unarmed black kids and condemned a fourth to irreversible brain damage? By the time Goetz went on trial for quadruple attempted murder, the “Subway Vigilante” saga had become a global sensation, and New Yorkers across race and class were split over whether he deserved decades in prison…or a medal. In Five Bullets, Elliot Williams vaults back to gritty 1980s Manhattan and reexamines the first major true-crime story of the cable news era. Drawing on archives and interviews with many main characters, including Goetz, Williams presents a masterful and vivid tale that also tells the origin stories of larger-than-life figures: Al Sharpton, a polarizing young local activist rocketing to national prominence; Rudy Giuliani, a rising-star prosecutor with an important decision to make; the NRA, which needed a poster boy for its transition from hunting club to political juggernaut; and Rupert Murdoch, whose new purchase, the New York Post, grew his empire by keeping a scary story in the headlines. A shocking account of a pivotal moment in our history, Five Bullets demonstrates why, in order to understand today’s debates about race, crime, safety, and the media, it’s imperative to reflect on what went down in the subway four decades ago. As Williams’s powerful narrative reveals, it was not just Goetz on trial, but the conscience of a nation.

Five Bullets

Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and what the unsung heroes of social movements past can teach us about navigating our chaotic world In this timely new book in Beacon’s successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples’ resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today’s climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall expands how to think about protest through sharing select historical moments and revealing the role of key players involved in those efforts. Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those examples of protest include those of Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018. Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that not only is dissent meaningful and impactful but is an essential tool for eliciting long lasting change.

A Protest History of the United States

Understanding China

The book comprehensively explores the origins, structure, characteristics, functions, and unique role of Chinese legal tradition within the global scope of legal culture. It adopts a thematic framework that extends across multifaceted dimensions to examine the evolution, features and impact of Chinese legal culture, breaking away from the traditional chronological approach to legal history.


The book seamlessly integrates macro and micro views, bridges ancient and modern, as well as Chinese and foreign perspectives, and combines state law with folk law, and law with ethics. The content covers seven key aspects: the culture of rites and etiquettes, penal culture and practice, the culture of legal philosophies, the culture of a legal system, contractual culture, the culture of mediation, and the culture of justice. The topics encompass the origins of traditional Chinese law, the evolution of legal thoughts, the development of legal systems, the procedures and effects of legal practices, and the relationship between legal development and social change.


This book is primarily aimed at legal scholars, students, and practitioners who are interested in understanding Chinese traditional legal culture. It is also intended for readers with a moderate level of education or higher, who seek to understand Chinese legal history and culture.

Law in Global Contexts

This book offers an analysis of Union citizenship, one of the key legal concepts of EU law. Introduced in the Maastricht Treaty, EU citizenship was initially seen as a beautiful but empty symbol. Yet, in the three decades of its existence, Union citizenship developed into one of the cornerstones of the modern-day constitutional structure of the EU. To understand the dynamics behind EU citizenship's ongoing development and appreciate its current role in Union law, this monograph analyses various facets of Union citizenship seen through the same theoretical lens of autonomisation. The book suggests that EU citizenship is currently undergoing autonomisation to a considerable extent. Being an open-ended concept, Union citizenship possesses significant intrinsic forces that drive its expansion and elaboration. Having already gone an impressive distance in its legal development, EU citizenship is likely to grow further, but its ultimate destiny will depend on the future of the European project.

Autonomisation of EU Citizenship

This volume aims to make a contribution to the debate surrounding the renaissance of Kant-Studies in the last few decades, with a particular emphasis upon the 'space of feelings'. Kant dominated the modern debate concerning reason, but he did not underestimate the sphere of sensibility. The volume is divided into four sections. The first section is dedicated to the connection between feelings and action from moral, political and religious perspectives. The second section focuses on the feelings and judgements, considering both scientific and aesthetical approaches. The third and fourth sections are dedicated to the legacy of Kant's philosophy. In particular, while the fourth one concentrates on Kant's heritage in the discussion on feelings, the third one deals specifically with the topic feelings in connection with environmental discussions from a Kantian perspective.
