The Alien Ultimatum

People, Cultures and Societies: Exploring and Documenting Diversities

This book investigates the widespread and persistent human rights violations against Dalits in India, with a focus on the erstwhile central Bihar from 1977 to the present day. Drawing on historical data, field interviews, judicial records, and human rights reports, the book presents a searing account of caste carnages, institutional failures, and the lived realities of marginalization and resistance. Key themes include the role of radical groups and civil society in raising awareness, the complicity and neglect of state institutions, and the urgent need for constitutional accountability and social reform. By weaving together theory, field research, and international human rights frameworks, this book uniquely situates Dalit rights within both Indian and global contexts.This book is a valuable resource on Dalit human rights, ideal for researchers, students, and general readers. It serves as a reference for courses in human rights, social exclusion, anthropology, political science, sociology, and South Asian studies and is suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate reading lists.

President Rodrigo Duterte and the War on Drugs

A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life—her many friendships, her sexual intimacies, and her love of science, nature and art. Always opposed to the First World War, when others on the German left were swept up on a tide of nationalism, she was imprisoned and murdered in 1919 fighting for a revolution she knew to be doomed. In this beautifully drawn work of graphic biography, writer and artist Kate Evans has opened up her subject’s intellectual world to a new audience, grounding Luxemburg’s ideas in the realities of an inspirational and deeply affecting life.

Global Challenges in the Environmental Humanities

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to climate adjudication, this book addresses how adjudicators decide cases by considering the influence of psychology, philosophy, legal education, film, literature, political economy, political ecology, judicial appointments, history, and climate science on their decision-making and ultimately on the (inconsistent) outcomes in climate cases. Drawing upon the humanities, science of climate change and/or social sciences to identify extra-legal factors that may drive the decision-making processes and outcomes of climate cases, this book uses case studies from different jurisdictions across the globe, addressing climate cases decided or pending in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America, and Oceania. In all, the volume will: - Engage with extra-legal influence to how show judges and arbitrators make their decisions in climate cases, shedding light on the inconsistent responses that climate cases have generated so far - Challenge assumptions of legal universalism, by recognising differences in how the law works in various - Inform actors involved in climate litigation (lawyers, judges, arbitrators, disputants), policymakers, and the public about how cases are decided

Multidisciplinary Perspectives

Adjudicating Climate Change

The riveting new exploration of American history - and how it has led to the era of Donald Trump - from the award-winning political broadcaster. 'A well argued and elegant answer to the question, 'how did America get to this place?'' Justin Webb, presenter of Americast 'Pithy, entertaining and informative' Guardian Trump's second term, even more than his first, is often called 'unprecedented'. But history shows that Trump and his policies are as American as apple pie... Much of what Donald Trump does seems maverick and even mad. His actions and policy pronouncements are a stark rupture from the American style of leadership that we have lived with all our lives. Plenty of people - on both sides of the Atlantic - have argued that he will destroy his country's democracy. But whether we like them or not, his trade tariffs, his determination to deport tens of thousands of people, and his apparent contempt for the rule of law are deeply rooted in American history. Made in America shows how the ideal of liberty has been tested in past generations, from the first intolerant Pilgrims to the brutal invasion of Mexico, and reveals the dark side of the American Dream in order to offer urgent lessons to our turbulent present. Here's what readers are saying about Made in America 'Essential read about Trump . . . informative and frightening' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Brilliant. A great romp through the not so sparkling history of the US' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'A very well written and informative book' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

This book examines how "colorblind" policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality. Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity-particularly in education. Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity. For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse.

Governance and Public Management

This book is one of three volumes that provide a systematic overview of public administration, public management and public governance in Italy. This third volume examines key philosophical themes pertaining to core foundational issues of public administration in Italy, including the link to the liberal-democratic constitution, the rationale for the legitimacy of administration action, epistemologies and methods. It also assesses public administration in relation to certain ‘mega-trends’ which are reshaping society and government at global and European level. Contributors comprise some of the leading historians, political scientists, lawyers and public management scholars, as well as reflective practitioners who have worked in key posts in the Italian public sector. It will appeal to students and scholars of public administration, public management and public governance, as well as practitioners with an interest in Italy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Perspectives and Futures of Public Administration in Italy

Modern Studies in European Law

In this book a team of expert contributors address challenging issues concerning the relationship between private law and the rule of law and human rights, with specific focus on case studies from South-Eastern Europe. The book examines the broadening application of human rights to the private law fields and the resulting effects. Contributors offer a truly interdisciplinary perspective drawn from comparative law, civil law, procedural law and public law. By so doing, for the first time, they offer insights into the fascinating questions the region poses for private law and human rights.

Comparative Perspectives from South-Eastern Europe

The European Convention on Human Rights and Private Law

This open access book examines the role played by international, regional, and national legal frameworks in holding corporations operating in the natural resource sector accountable for human rights violations in the Global South.

Influential scholars from across the world address pressing issues concerning the integration of business and human rights standards for better governance of natural resources. They focus particularly on extractive and multinational companies in the Global South and their role in the transition to net zero societies. The book also examines legal mechanisms for corporate accountability under international, human rights and transnational law, using case studies from selected countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The book reviews proposals for an enforceable legal framework to hold corporations accountable for human rights abuses and environmental damage. It considers initiatives such as the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the UN's Draft Business and Human Rights Treaty, and the European Union Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. 

The book is essential reading for researchers working in the fields of business and human rights law, natural resources law, environmental law and international law, as well as corporate and human rights practitioners litigating in the energy and natural resources sectors.
