Calculated Risks

Hart Studies in Commercial and Financial Law

This book provides a commentary on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), a game-changing EU regulation for crypto-assets and crypto-asset services. Directly applicable in all EU Member States, MiCAR serves as a benchmark for future regulation in other jurisdictions, influencing rulemaking and crypto industry around the world. In this book, leading experts in the fields of financial law, regulation and technology examine the goals, rules and operation of MiCAR. The book explores its provisions in the broader context of current market practices, technological developments, existing financial law instruments (eg MiFID II, Prospectus Regulation, Crowdfunding Regulation and Market Abuse Regulation), court cases (eg the bankruptcies of FTX and Celsius), regulatory initiatives in the USA and the UK, as well as soft law instruments. The book is designed for anyone dealing with crypto-assets or considering entering the crypto space. This includes representatives from legal and business communities, both incumbent (banks, investment firms, investment funds) and new market players (crypto exchanges, wallet service providers, issuers of stablecoins), supervisory authorities, students and academics. The reader will gain a deep understanding of the scope and structure of MiCAR, key terms used in it, its rationale, and the main rules for issuers of crypto-assets, crypto-asset service providers and crypto-asset services.

Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation

Studies in International Trade and Investment Law

This open access book examines the evolving role of international economic law in addressing two interrelated challenges of the 21st century: enabling digital development and bridging the digital divide. The rapid digitalisation of the economy has generated significant challenges, including a deepening global digital and data divide and a persistent lack of inclusive digital development. Confronting these challenges head on, this pioneering book brings together experts across different legal subfields, geographies, and disciplines to examine the role and relevance of international economic law in bridging the global digital divide and enabling digital development, particularly from the perspective of the Global South. The contributions are anchored in a distinctive analytical framework that traces future directions through which international economic law interacts with digital development, demonstrating how it may function as a constraint, fade into irrelevance, or eventually act as an enabler. The chapters focus on a broad range of areas, including international trade, investment, tax, development, competition, finance and related regulatory and policy domains; they consider multilateral, regional, and plurilateral frameworks; and draw on a plurality of perspectives from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. The authors employ a wide range of methodological approaches to address issues such as digital sovereignty and digital industrial policy, cross-border data flows and digital global value chains, competition in data markets, AI governance, financial inclusion, and the sustainability-digitalisation nexus. This book speaks to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in international economic law, development studies, and technology law who seek theoretical and pragmatic pathways for reorienting international economic law as a tool for equitable, sustainable, and meaningful digital development. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Towards Digital Development

Reorienting International Economic Law for the Digital Economy

Examines whether the rule of law can endure without its natural law and metaphysical foundations, arguing for a renewed, human-centered legal order grounded in objective moral principles and capable of addressing contemporary challenges such as AI, technocracy, and decolonization.
This provocative interdisciplinary volume addresses a mounting global crisis: the erosion of the rule of law in an increasingly secular and technological world. As societies move into what the authors call the "fourth era" of legal history, the rule of law is frequently reduced to a mere "toolkit" for elites or a "checklist" for bureaucratic efficiency, stripped of its deeper moral and transcendent roots. The book explores a vital question: can legal systems remain just when they are "truncated of transcendence" and disconnected from a higher moral order? By sifting through the legacies of legal giants like Lon Fuller and theologians like Karl Barth, the contributors argue that a purely procedural "inner morality" is insufficient to protect human dignity against authoritarian relapses or the cold logic of "technocratisation." 
Central to the book's unique vision is a multivalent, pluralistic re-envisioning of global norms. Drawing on the Christian philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd, specifically his concept of "sphere sovereignty," the authors propose a framework where diverse religious and secular traditions can collaborate without sacrificing their distinct identities. This approach offers a powerful way to decolonize the rule of law, moving away from "one-size-fits-all" Western impositions toward a culturally sensitive synthesis of universal principles and local traditions. 
The text also tackles the controversial relationship between Natural Law and the 10 Commandments, debating whether positive laws should be grounded in "naturally knowable" truths or specific religious revelations in a pluralistic state. 
Looking toward the future, the authors issue a stark warning against the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) in legal adjudication. They argue that replacing human value judgments with machine-driven algorithms threatens to eliminate the discretion and relational interaction essential to true justice. To counter this, the book calls for educational reform and a shift toward "principled legal education" that prioritizes ethics, restorative justice, and a "facts first" approach. Ultimately, this work is a call to action for legal professionals, theologians, and the public to reclaim law as a framework for human flourishing-a "language of love" between the divine and the human that protects the vulnerable from the arbitrary exercise of power.

Reclaiming Justice Through Natural Law

The Rule of Law, Human Dignity and the Future of Democracy

This book examines the increasing marketisation of framework agreements in UK public procurement and proposes reform to refocus the purpose of this vital purchasing tool and renew the emphasis on public service delivery. Through detailed empirical research, the book examines how contracting authorities set up and use framework agreements in practice, the behaviours of centralised procurement authorities and the private sector, and how these have been addressed or not under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 implementing EU Directives. This reveals the scale of marketisation, the effect of legal rules on framework agreement efficacy, and the need for regulatory and other reform. Going further, post-Brexit, this book also examines the relatively limited impact of the new UK Procurement Act 2023 in addressing these issues and identifies a pressing need for further regulatory, institutional, and industry reform. The book provides the reader with a detailed understanding and analysis of the rules and policies on framework agreements as developed and applied under EU law and UK law, including the UK's post-Brexit efforts at reform, and the resulting legal uncertainty. It also provides insight into the less explored attitudes, behaviours, and practices. This includes everything from centralised purchasing authorities competing against each other to provide framework agreements across the public sector to private sector organisations seeking to run framework agreements for profit. The book will be of interest to practitioners keen to understand and mitigate legal and commercial risks in setting up and using framework agreements. It will also guide policy-makers on the key priorities for targeted reform. Civil society organisations will gain insight into the ongoing challenges of ensuring transparency and accountability. The book will also be of comparative interest in the EU given the UK's experience as a Member State and internationally for countries looking to reform their approach to regulating framework agreements.

Practice, Regulation and Reform

The Marketisation of Framework Agreements in the UK

Farmed Animals and the Law: Legal Pathways Beyond Intensive Farming is a concise and practical guide to the laws regulating farmed animals in the UK, placing them within the wider context of food system governance and climate commitments. Farmed animal law is often equated with welfare legislation, but in reality it spans a wide range of domains: subsidies and competition, investment and finance, markets and trade, food safety and standards, sanitary and phytosanitary rules, labelling and consumer protection, as well as planning and environmental law. Together, these frameworks shape the UK food system and influence how the country meets its international obligations, including under the Paris Agreement. With around 85% of farmed animals in the UK reared in intensive systems, the handbook focuses in particular on the regulation and future of intensive farming. Despite their importance, these legal regimes remain fragmented and underexplored. Lawyers working in specialist fields often lack a broader point of reference, while NGOs and campaigners may not have the expertise to navigate technical frameworks. This book addresses that gap by providing a clear, accessible overview that combines legal accuracy with usability. Each chapter is designed for quick reference: setting out the relevant statutes, regulations, and case law, explaining their operation, and identifying the practical implications for enforcement and accountability. The book moves from the immediate level of farm welfare and planning permission through to international trade and climate regimes, tracing the links between animal agriculture, markets, and sustainability. The result is a unique resource - authoritative yet approachable, academically grounded yet practice-focused - for lawyers, students, NGOs, and others concerned with the future of farming, food, and climate. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Property and Land Law online service.

Legal Pathways Beyond Intensive Farming

Farmed Animals and the Law

Explore the contentious and multifaceted issue of drug decriminalization and legalization from a variety of perspectives. Part of the Health and Medical Issues Today series, this book explores the contentious issue of decriminalizing and legalizing drugs through an accessible three-part structure. Part I provides readers with the background information they need to better understand and develop informed opinions about the topic. Chapters address the difference between decriminalization and legalization, explore the biochemistry of addiction, examine historical and contemporary decriminalization and legalization movements in the USA, and highlight international examples of decriminalization and legalization efforts. Part II delves into specific issues and controversies related to this subject, including physical and mental health consequences, the impact on crime and the criminal justice system, and the potential economic and social effects at both a local and national level. Coverage is balanced and unbiased, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. Part III features five engaging case studies that help the subject come to life for readers and illustrate concepts and issues discussed in the text. A glossary and annotated directory of resources round out the volume.

Drug Decriminalization and Legalization

This innovative work offers a new perspective on the established tort of misuse of private information, contending that English law has evolved a sophisticated mechanism for the protection of privacy and the protection of the economic value in private information. Although information generally is not property, private information now appears to be treated by English law as a form of property, giving the owner of the information rights of exclusion, exploitation and transfer. Balancing philosophical discussion of the fundamentals with a detailed analysis of the practical difficulties of "propertising" information, the book suggests that English law has evolved a powerful tool for the protection of privacy in this data-driven world.

Privacy as Property

This is the essential practitioner's guide to animal welfare and animal protection law in the Crown Court and magistrates' courts of England. Animal law is a roughly stitched patchwork of domestic acts, regulations, orders and statutory codes, interlaced with international treaties, regulations and directives. The resultant body of law is immense: with acts still in force today dating back to the 1800s and dozens of enabling clauses permitting the tapestry constantly to evolve. Sometimes prosecutors use the law to protect animals, for instance by prosecuting those thought to have abused them. Other times defence advocates are those protecting animals, for instance by defending allegedly dangerous dogs from destruction. This guide sets out the law and provides practical advice for those on either side of the courtroom. The guide's primary focus is on criminal cases that concern kept animals, farmed animals, animals in science, wild animals, dangerous dogs and animal protection activists. It also features chapters on related civil orders in the magistrates' courts, as well as a practical chapter on funding in animal-related cases. This is the only guide of its kind, written as a handbook for frontline practitioners in England's criminal courts. It draws on decades of experience and is written by two experts, in consultation with an array of specialists in each practice area. This makes it a must-have book for anyone practising or wishing to practise animal welfare or animal protection law.

Animal Welfare and Animal Protection Law - A Practitioner’s Guide

The Art Law Library

This open access book investigates the role played by copyright on the digitisation of cultural heritage from three angles: the theoretical differences between cultural property law and copyright; a comparative analysis of the EU, UK, and US; and analysis of current practices and concerns, based on empirical research. As heritage digitisation projects become increasingly common for purposes such as preservation and access, the impact of copyright is also becoming more problematic. In order to provide a full and current picture of the copyright problem, the book first introduces the reader to the debates on the scope and ownership of cultural heritage and provides an overview of the copyright implications of the digitisation process and newer uses, including 2D and 3D scanning; virtual and augmented reality; text and data mining; and artificial intelligence. The author then divides the main critical analysis into three parts, referred to as the 'clashes with copyright'. The first, clash in theory, lies between cultural property law and copyright justification theories. The second clash is in the different legal approaches to digitising in-copyright, public domain, orphan, out-of-commerce and unpublished works in the chosen jurisdictions, focusing on the relevant rights and defences. The third clash is in the interests of stakeholders, based on public reactions to existing projects and cases, supported by interviews with heritage professionals engaging in digitisation. By placing itself in this particular intersection of law, heritage, and technology, the book will be of interest to both intellectual property academics and cultural heritage professionals. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Global Value Chains and the Law

This book explores the human right to leave any country - including one's own - in international law, and its applicability to externalised migration control. It develops a framework for interpreting the right and demonstrates how various externalisation measures violate it, leading to the international responsibility of states and international organisations. Analysing the work of international and regional systems enshrining the right and examining global externalisation practices, it demonstrates the radical reform required by states and international organisations to comply with the right to leave. Implementing the author's recommendations would compel the dismantlement of many current externalisation strategies and a re-imagining of the global (im)mobility regime. This book offers compelling insights for lawyers in the fields of international law, human rights and refugee law, as well as migration policymakers, practitioners and officials.
