Norman Geras's Political Thought from Marxism to Human Rights

Controversy and Analysis

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 1. Introduction.- Chapter 2. The Legacy of Rosa Luxemburg.- Chapter 3. Geras and Trotskyism.- Chapter 4.&amp;nbsp; Marx and Human Nature.- Chapter 5. Geras and Althusser.- Chapter 6. Marx and justice.- Chapter 7. Marxism, Socialism and Morality.- Chapter 8. Geras and postmodernism.- Chapter 9. Geras and postmodernism.- Chapter 10. The Enlightenment and Modernity.- Chapter 11. The Contract of Mutual Indifference.- Chapter 12. Crimes against Humanity.- Chapter 13. Conclusion.&lt;/p&gt;

This book is the first comprehensive academic treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights, which has a global vocation demonstrated by having been ratified by 173 States since it was adopted in 1966. Workers' rights need protection and reinforcement. To achieve this aim, international human rights standards can play an important role. The ICESCR is the most important global UN instrument in this respect. It covers a wide range of employment rights, including the right to strike, and has global application. But it is not sufficiently developed and used, and national implementation often needs improvement. Part 1 of the book analyses general issues related to the Covenant, such as context, development, challenges, influences at the global and regional levels, interpretation and procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. The book is based on a thorough analysis, mainly, but not exclusively, of the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), that is monitoring the national implementation of the Covenant. Together, the chapters in this book will empower academics and practitioners in labour law to find answers to relevant and practical problems in order to better enforce and improve workers' rights. The book is the result of a project by the 'Transnational Trade Union Rights' experts Network (TTUR), linked to the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Employment Relation

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.

The acclaimed Top 10 Sunday Times bestseller on our search for love 'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' - Maggie Nelson Shon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye's experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture. Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable. In this highly politicized terrain, boundaries are purposefully drawn to keep some in and to keep others out. Those who exist outside them are ignored, denigrated, exiled. In Love in Exile, Shon Faye shows love is much greater than the narrow ideals we have been taught to crave so desperately that we are willing to bend and break ourselves to fit them. Wise, funny, unsparing, and suffused with a radical clarity, this is a book of and for our times: for seeing and knowing love, in whatever form it takes, is the meaning of life itself.

Love in Exile

Asylum Law and Practice

This book honours a remarkable legal thinker, David Feldman, whose influence on public law and on multiple generations of legal scholars and practitioners has been profound. It provides a unique set of insights into some of the most topical and enduring questions in public law (broadly conceived), through the reflections of a stellar line-up of contributors on key dimensions of David Feldman's rich body of work. Each chapter constitutes an original and important contribution to the field, taking David Feldman's seminal writings as a starting-point and developing contemporary, distinctive analytical perspectives. Like David Feldman's work itself, the book ranges across - and acknowledges and explores the porous relationships between - constitutional law, administrative law and human rights and civil liberties.

The Mosaic of Public Law

A mother and son, estranged for many years, reckon at last with the secret that has kept them apart in this highly anticipated novel by one of the most talented American writers of his generation At forty, Peter, an asylum lawyer in New York City, is overworked and isolated. He spends his days immersed in the struggles of immigrants only to return to an empty apartment and occasional hook-ups with a man who wants more than Peter can give. But when the asylum case of a young gay man pierces Peter's numbness, the event that he has avoided for twenty years returns to haunt him. Ann, his mother, who runs a women's retreat centre she founded after leaving his father, is wounded by the estrangement from Peter but cherishes the world she has built. She long ago banished from her mind the decision that divided her from her son. But as Peter's case plunges him further into the fraught memory of his first love and the night of violence that changed his life forever, he and his mother must confront the secret that tore them apart. With unsurpassed emotional depth, Mothers and Sons reveals all that is lost by looking away from the past and the love that might be restored by facing it. In his spellbinding new novel, Adam Haslett demonstrates yet again his mastery of "a rich assortment of literary gifts" (New York Times). 'Subtle, symphonic and satisfying' Financial Times 'An epic family saga that packs an extraordinary emotional punch . . . this book is his best yet' Observer

Mothers and Sons

Politicians have failed us. But democracy doesn't have to. Bought by special interests, detached from real life, obsessed with re-election. Politicians make big promises, deliver little to nothing, and keep the game rigged in their favour. But what can we do? With disarming clarity and a deep sense of urgency, acclaimed political theorist Hélène Landemore argues that electoral politics is broken but democracy isn't. We've just been doing it wrong. Drawing on ancient Athenian practices and contemporary citizens' assemblies, Landemore champions an alternative approach that is alive, working, and growing around the world: civic lotteries that select everyday people to govern, not as career politicians but as temporary stewards of the common good. When regular citizens come together in this way, they make smarter, fairer, more forward-thinking decisions, often bringing out the best in one another. Witnessing this process firsthand, Landemore has learned that democracy should be like a good party where even the shyest guests feel welcome to speak, listen, and be heard. With sharp analysis and real-world examples, drawing from her experience with deliberative processes in France and elsewhere, Landemore shows us how to move beyond democracy as a spectator sport, embracing it as a shared practice-not just in the voting booth but in shaping the laws and policies that govern our lives. If you've ever felt powerless, Politics Without Politicians will show you how we can take back democracy.

The Case for Citizen Rule

Politics Without Politicians

Why the separation of powers is essential to liberty and democracy. From the winner of the Holberg Prize and New York Times–bestselling author of The World According to Star Wars. All over the world, people are questioning the separation of powers. They want a strong man, able to do what must be done. But James Madison was right to say this: “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” In this essential and immensely timely book, Separation of Powers, Cass Sunstein explains why the separation of powers is necessary for both freedom and self-government. He shows that freedom from fear is a central goal of the system of separation of powers. He also explains why the executive branch is the most dangerous branch, why the idea of presidential immunity is a terrible one, and why an independent judiciary is crucial. Drawing on his extensive experience in the White House, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security, the author also argues that the separation of powers is, in fact, six separations of powers: (1) The legislature may not exercise the executive power. (2) The legislature may not exercise the judicial power. (3) The executive may not exercise the legislative power. (4) The executive may not exercise the judicial power. (5) The judiciary may not exercise the legislative power. (6) The judiciary may not exercise the executive power. Each of these is essential to liberty under law.

Bhogal on Anti-Social Behaviour

WINNER of 75th Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award: Biography Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize 2026 'FIVE STARS ... Magnificent' Telegraph 'Compulsively readable' Financial Times 'Gripping and timely' The Times 'Crackingly told' Philippe Sands 'A kind of masterclass' Sebastian Junger THE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE VOLUNTEER The true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him. In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth.

The Prosecutor

A fascinating deep dive into the dynamic interplay between culture, economics, institutions, and human prosperity. In Pathway to Change, Naci Mocan investigates the economic origins of current cultural beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, highlighting the lasting impact of historical agricultural practices and ecological conditions. He shows that cultural traits evolve in response to external shocks—such as exposure to violence, changes in institutional quality, and the laws and law enforcement—and argues that culture and institutions influence each other: culture shapes the functioning of institutions, while institutions also mold cultural norms. As a result, the success of institutional reforms depends heavily on the cultural context in which they are implemented. Drawing on research from various fields—including economics, evolutionary biology, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, and political science—the author describes how cultural attributes such as trust, honesty, patience, preference for leisure, morality, individualism, and proclivity for violence shape economic outcomes and individual well-being. The book presents evidence on both intergenerational transmission of culture and horizontal transmission within the members of the same generation. It also describes how culture can be shaped and transformed, emphasizing the roles of media, education, laws and law enforcement, and role models. Finally, the book recommends that undesirable cultural attributes that are detrimental to our well-being, determined by scientific criteria, should be modified, and offers policy tools that can be deployed for cultural change.

This book explores how law can safeguard the marine environment in the era of deep-sea mining.In our increasingly interconnected and resource-intensive world, the demand for mineral resources has reached unprecedented levels. Rapid industrialization, technological advancements, and a growing global population have intensified our reliance on minerals: for electronics, renewable energy systems, infrastructure, and manufacturing.This escalating demand has pushed humanity to explore new frontiers, with the deep sea emerging as a potential reservoir of untapped resources. As terrestrial deposits become harder to access, the allure of deep-sea minerals grows ever more compelling.Yet, with opportunity comes responsibility. Balancing economic interests with the preservation of fragile and largely unexplored deep-sea ecosystems requires robust and enforceable legal frameworks. Since the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982, international law has sought to govern ocean resources while protecting the environment.This book offers a meticulous examination of these legal frameworks, environmental considerations, and the governance of deep-sea mineral exploration. It provides a comprehensive foundation in ocean law, covering the intricacies of international regulations, state rights, regulatory challenges, and also addressing social dimensions and human rights considerations.
