Traditional Legal Culture in China

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 1. Culture of Rites and Etiquettes.- Chapter 2. Penal Culture and Practice.- Chapter 3. Culture of Legal Philosophies.- Chapter 4. The Culture of a Legal System.- Chapter 5. Contractual Culture.- Chapter 6. The Culture of Mediation.- Chapter 7. The Culture of Justice.&lt;/p&gt;

Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals—essential for the decarbonization of our economies—and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global “energy transition”—the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world’s economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs. In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia’s seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress? With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.

A Story of War, Technology, and the Dirtiest Supply Chain on Earth

The Elements of Power

This book presents an insight into the relationship between liberal democratic legality and responding to extreme situations. The uneasy relationship between liberal democracy’s rule of law and extraordinary measures by government have long provided a premise for contentious legal and political discourse. It is amidst this densely treaded theme, whereby this book turns to Europe’s democratic past in an attempt to mitigate any seemingly irrevocable conflicts. Largely overlooked, and yet ultimately the primary source of the contemporary liberal democratic legal order, democracy appears as a legal reality that advocates for its own principles in response to extreme threats.
 
 From the floors of the National Convention in Paris during the French revolutionary years of the late 18th century, Roman legal principles would be espoused by Robespierre and his contemporaries when heralding in the ‘new’ legal reality of democracy. Voices from Paris and the National Assembly of today on the other hand embrace principles of canon law when advocating for extraordinary ‘necessary measures’ that ultimately rely upon a determination of the ‘public common good’ when responding to extreme situations. In recognizing the contrast between ‘democratic-revolutionary tradition’s’ reliance upon Roman legal principles, as opposed to ‘constitutional monarchy tradition’s’ reliance upon canon law principles, this book presents to the reader a unique opportunity to understand how contemporary European legal tradition ultimately arises as a result of two legal worlds.&nbsp;

Extraordinary Governance in European Legal Tradition

Human Rights Law in Perspective

What is the reality of what it is to participate in associations, such as sports clubs, charities, trade unions, or political parties? This book explores the complexities surrounding the right of association from a legal and philosophical perspective.

Legal chapters explore how the right is protected in jurisdictions as diverse as Chile, Germany, Indonesia, Kenya, Slovenia, Türkiye and the United Kingdom, alongside thematic chapters on judicial review, associational schism and the lived experience of associational participation. Philosophical chapters employ social ontology to illuminate the nature of group interaction and the reality of associational life.


Offering the first interdisciplinary examination of freedom of association, this collection contributes significantly to our understanding of this fundamental right.

The book explains the most significant cases and jurisprudence emerging from the 32-year record of the judicial institutions highlighted in the book. It engages the readers with the human stories behind the legal rulings so that the context and drama are properly introduced and understood. We will describe the principles of international law emerging from and being strengthened by the jurisprudence of tribunal judges. These include: the legal authority of the UN Security Council, the UN General Assembly, and regional organizations like the European Union and the Council of Europe to create&nbsp;
 ad hoc
 or hybrid war crimes tribunals; greater precision and context in defining each category and listing of atrocity crimes, including the full range of genocide and torture and when either crime encompasses rape, the range of situations that constitute genocide and crimes against humanity, forced marriage as a crime against humanity, torture as a 
 jus cogens
 principle, hate speech as persecution, and enslavement; elaborating modalities of individual criminal responsibility about command responsibility, aiding and abetting, and co-perpetration or joint criminal enterprise; developing new principles regulating non-international armed conflicts and the status of non-state groups under international law; establishing clearer intent (
 mens rea
 ) requirements for crimes against humanity and genocide; applying judicial notice to confirm the obvious reality that atrocity crimes on a massive scale occurred in a particular situation; establishing a broad range of human rights protections and the responsibility of states to ensure their enforcement.
 This book tells the story of pathbreaking developments in select cases litigated before the International Court of Justice, five special purpose atrocity crimes tribunals, the International Criminal Court, and the European, Inter-American and African human rights courts, as well as what to anticipate with the newly-created Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. The protection of human rights as an obligation of national governments is reflected in major cases of the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights.

The Story of Modern International Justice, 1993-2025

A personal chronicle of three key legal privacy battles that have defined the digital age and shaped the internet as we know it. From a seasoned leader in the field of digital privacy rights. Throughout her career, Cindy Cohn has been driven by a fundamental question: Can we still have private conversations if we live our lives online? Privacy’s Defender chronicles her thirty-year battle to protect our right to digital privacy and shows just how central this right is to all our other rights, including our ability to organize and make change in the world. Shattering the hypermasculine myth that our digital reality was solely the work of a handful of charismatic tech founders, the author weaves her own personal story with the history of Crypto Wars, FBI gag orders, and the post-9/11 surveillance state. She describes how she became a seasoned leader in the early digital rights movement, as well as how this work serendipitously helped her discover her birth parents and find her life partner. Along the way, she also details the development of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which she grew from a ragtag group of lawyers and hackers into one of the most powerful digital rights organizations in the world. Part memoir and part legal history for the general reader, the book is a compelling testament to just how hard-won the privacy rights we now enjoy as tech users are, but also how crucial these rights are in our efforts to combat authoritarianism, grow democracy, and strengthen other human rights.

This book explores the concept of good citizenship, exploring how it can be nurtured and its implications for civics education, constitutional structures, and political leadership. Amidst concerns about a crisis of democracy, characterized by declining citizen engagement and confidence in political processes, the book begins by defining “good citizenship.” It traces the concept’s evolution from ancient times to the present, highlighting the values that underpin good citizenship in a society based on the value of human dignity. The book then examines how voter disengagement can be linked to shortcomings in civics education, particularly the failure to teach students not only the mechanics of a country’s constitution but also the values underlying it. It discusses the role of constitutional design in fostering good citizenship, arguing that shortcomings in a constitution, such as an electoral system that does not accurately reflect votes in seats, the failure to protect human rights and inadequate mechanisms to ensure executive accountability, erode citizens’ trust in the political system. Furthermore, the book addresses how political leadership that prioritizes emotional appeals over reason and partisan interests over the public good contributes to voter disengagement and a loss of confidence in the political system. By adopting a comparative approach and drawing on examples from various jurisdictions, the book offers valuable insights and practical guidance for enhancing good citizenship. This comparative analysis not only broadens the book’s appeal but also enhances its marketability, making it a significant resource for understanding and improving democratic engagement.

Law and Migration

Across the globe, tens of thousands of alleged 'criminal' migrants find themselves trapped in limbo. They are unwanted in the countries hosting them but cannot be deported because they are stateless, because human rights law or lack of political will prevents it, or because they themselves do not cooperate. These individuals - referred to as undesirable but unremovable migrants (UBUs) - include former World War II concentration camp guards, minor drug traffickers, rapists, acquitted genocidaires, and children of alleged terrorists. Their continued presence in host countries often sparks intense political debate, complex legal proceedings, and public controversy. In some cases, they are passed back and forth between multiple countries.Taking a historical and global perspective, this book traces the emergence of UBUs, shows how their numbers have increased dramatically over time, and reveals the persistent inability of states to develop coherent policy responses. This failure has led to politically charged environments in host countries and profound challenges for the migrants themselves.The book benefits anyone engaged in the study, development, or implementation of governmental policies concerning migrants accused of being involved in crime.

The untold stories behind New Zealand's tax system through the analysis of the critical junctures in the development of New Zealand tax law and policy. From the 1912 Waihi mining strike to modern asset-stripping rules, from century-old gambling taxes to decades-long debates over the taxation of capital gains, this book reveals the fascinating threads that weave through New Zealand's tax history. Bringing together the insights of judges, policymakers, administrators, and practitioners who have shaped the system, along with inputs from tax academics, this book offers both intimate personal accounts and authoritative outside perspectives on how taxation evolved in Aotearoa and what other countries can learn from it. Why has New Zealand debated a comprehensive capital gains tax for nearly sixty years without implementing one? How did public-private cooperation forge unique policy solutions? How has New Zealand both inspired international tax developments and boldly charted its own course, often diverging from the OECD's tax guidance? These questions and many more are answered through rigorous analysis and compelling storytelling. Whether you are a tax professional, a policy analyst, a tax scholar, a student, or simply curious about the history of taxation, this collection offers invaluable insights into one of the world's most competitive, and yet cohesively consultative, tax systems.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE MOORE PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE An eye-opening exploration of the Chinese internet that reveals the intricate dance between freedom and control in contemporary China. In the late 1990s, as the world was waking up to the power of the internet, Chinese authorities began con­structing a system of online censor­ship now known as the Great Firewall. But far from being barren, the digital world behind the firewall brimmed with new subcultures and tech innovations, offering many citizens previously unimaginable connection and opportunity. Today, as the country's leadership intensifies its control of public discourse and Western headlines reduce the Chinese public to a faceless monolith, journalist Yi-Ling Liu presents an intimate por­trait of the en­trepreneurs, activists, artists, and dreamers navigating China's transformation into both the world's largest online user base and one of its most populous authoritarian states. Drawing on years of firsthand reporting, The Wall Dancers equips readers with the tools to assess the past, present, and future of a global power. A vital exploration of the inter­net's power for both control and liberation, and an unforgettable work of human storytelling, it ultimately asks what it means to live within the technological systems that now shape all of our lives.

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.
