Dong X: On Translation of Laws and
Regulations in China

On Translation of Laws and Regulations in China

A National Governance Perspective

New Challenges, Current Issues and Innovative Approaches

General Theory of Law

Governance and Public Management

This book is one of two volumes that examines democracy and politics in South Africa over the last three decades. Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, the book critically evaluates the successes and challenges of post-apartheid governance, paying particular attention to key issues such as government dysfunction, political corruption, and economic transformation. Multidisciplinary in approach and bridging theory and practice, the book is an essential resource for reimagining South Africa’s democratic future. It will appeal to students and scholars of public administration, governance and politics in Africa and beyond, as well as practitioners and policymakers.&nbsp;

Public Sector Development and Economic Reform

Three Decades of South African Democracy, Volume II

Masterpieces of Contemporary Jurisprudents in China

This book is the first academic monograph in China to comprehensively examine the concept, principles, and system of civil law from an ethical point of view. Under the background that China has promulgated the Civil Code, it is necessary to analyze the relevant contents of the Civil Code from all aspects, in depth and from various angles. The basic point of view is that China’s Civil Code should not only consider the advanced nature, but also take into account the national character, sublimation, and inheritance, and to meet the needs of modern society and demonstrate the ethical value. This book is highly readable, not only for professional research groups, but also for students and ordinary readers interested in Chinese civil law. This book is designated as a required reading list for law majors in many universities across China and is also published in Taiwan (PRC) and Japan.

An Ethical Analysis of Civil Law

This book delves into the core debates of criminal law, examining fundamental principles such as legality, protection of legally protected goods, culpability, and proportionality. It reinterprets these principles through a lens of a Rawlsian theory of justice, proposing them as deontological liberalistic principles of justice. The book explores the influence of enlightenment thought and social contract theory which have sophisticatedly evolved so far on criminal law, suggesting that these principles can be derived from a hypothetical agreement under fair participation conditions.
Covering a wide range of topics, the book addresses human dignity, culpability, and the prohibition of analogy in criminal law interpretation. It engages with classic and ongoing debates, including free will, legal indeterminacy, and the jurisprudential implication of philosophies of Wittgenstein and Gödel. Additionally, it critically examines some theoretical issues, including collective guilt, criminal liability of electronic person, psychopathic offender, and conscientious objectors, as well as such doctrinal issues as mistaken self-defence and criminal complicity. A chapter on the origins of the penal system provides an in-depth account based on ancient Near Eastern customs and the Hammurabi Code, enriched by the latest evolutionary research. This interdisciplinary approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the nature of punishment.
“In this wide-ranging and ambitious work, Seong Jo Ahn introduces criminal lawyers to an extraordinary range of theoretical ideas and perspectives on the criminal law. New light is shed on familiar doctrines and principles, in a way that will become a debating point for years to come.” 
Jeremy Horder—LSE

Studies in National Governance and Emerging Technologies

This book investigates the internal dynamics and mechanisms that shaped one of the European Union’s most ambitious and far-reaching pieces of digital legislation: the Data Act. While the importance of data to the economy and society has been widely acknowledged, the policy processes behind data legislation remain underexplored. This study closes that gap by applying the Multiple Streams Approach to understand how the Data Act progressed from a largely absent issue to a legislative priority, and how it was rapidly adopted despite its complexity and scope.

‘Patrick&nbsp;Diamond&nbsp;assesses the UK experience with public management reform in this important book, which combines historical scope with incisive analysis of successive reform agendas over the past fifty years. The book is timely, as it locates the challenges facing the current government within the context of perennial themes and debates surrounding the content, meaning, and efficacy of reform agendas in public administration and public management, and their impact on government performance. Students, academics, and practitioners will learn a great deal from this text. ‘

 &nbsp;‘This is a vital text for anyone who wants to understand the nature and causes of fiasco and failure in government. Through exemplary analysis of policy and practice at Westminster, including the recent approach to mission-driven government, Professor&nbsp;Diamond&nbsp;explains how reforms over the last 50 years have damaged the UK economy and the ability to govern.’&nbsp;

 &nbsp;Reshaping the State in the Age of Fiasco
 &nbsp;meticulously analyses fifty years of structural innovation in UK public management reform. Rather than ascribing policymaking blunders to the ascendency of New Public Management, the book focuses on how the rise of managerialism led to pathologies and contradictions arising from the traditions and culture of British government. The book addresses the dynamic of waves of centralisation and fragmentation – the back-and-forth between ‘filling-in’ and ‘hollowing-out’ – that animated the reform process in Britain since the mid-twentieth century.
 In the post-war era, the myth prevailed that UK institutions, policies and solutions offered a model for the rest of the world, while there was little meaningful that could be learnt from elsewhere. Yet recent governing crises, notably fiscal austerity, Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic underlined that despite decades of reform, the performance of the British state and public services remained glaringly inadequate. There has been far less improvement in efficiency, economy and effectiveness than was promised. The volume asks why that is so, and what can be done.Patrick&nbsp;Diamond

Fifty Years of Public Management Reform in the United Kingdom

Reshaping the State in the Age of Fiasco

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.

Traditional Legal Culture in China

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the concept of "res judicata" (thing judged) in the context of both common law and civil law systems, with a particular focus on the Brazilian Civil Procedure Code. It delves into the historical evolution, theoretical foundations, and practical implications of issue preclusion, or the prohibition of relitigating decided issues. The work also examines the development of issue preclusion in common law, especially in the United States, discussing key concepts like estoppel, collateral estoppel, and the breakdown of mutuality. Landmark cases such as Blonder-Tongue and Parklane are analyzed to illustrate the evolution and application of these principles. It contrasts the common law approach with the civil law tradition, particularly the Italian legal system, critiquing the influence of Roman law and the doctrines of prominent jurists like Chiovenda, highlighting the limitations and values underlying the restriction of res judicata to the judgment of the claim. The author explains the extension of res judicata to issues, including the benefits for third parties, discussing the requirements for issue preclusion, the relationship between issue preclusion and the main claim, and the impact of issue preclusion on arbitration and mandatory precedentes, making this book an essential resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and students interested in understanding the complexities of res judicata across different legal systems and its critical role in ensuring legal certainty, coherence, and efficiency in judicial proceedings.

This book unveils the details of the processes and deliberations that culminated in the consensual global commitment to decisively confront racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance. It settles the pre-conceived and prejudicial controversies raised against the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. High level delegates and leaders of structures of the conference address the development of the vision of nations for racial justice, building the structures of dialogue towards and during the third world conference against racism, choosing the leadership of the conference, consensus building especially on the so-called difficult issues, the role of championing states such as South Africa (host and then symbol of victory against racism) and Brazil (home to the largest population of people of African heritage outside Africa), and the legacy of the conference and outcome document. It reminds humanity of the merits and nobility of its Durban resolve, based on undertakings in Geneva, Strasbourg, Santiago de Chile, Dakar, and Teheran, under the auspices of the United Nations, and the significance of standing by it.

From Durban to Humanity

Untold Reflections from the World Conference Against Racism

Aid effectiveness remains a global concern, especially given most developing countries’ reliance on foreign aid for their development efforts. The aid effectiveness agenda, shaped by a series of international conferences, declarations, and high-level forums, notably the Paris Declaration, sought to transform global aid practices. This book offers a detailed examination of the global aid effectiveness agenda in the context of Bangladesh, one of the world’s leading aid recipients. Drawing on significant in-depth interviews and a wide range of robust document analysis, it presents empirical evidence on how the global aid effectiveness agenda fails when implemented at the country level, particularly in developing economies such as Bangladesh. The findings of this volume contribute to the understanding of development cooperation in aid-dependent contexts and provide scholarly insights into devising actionable strategies to improve coordination and enhance aid effectiveness in recipient countries. It is intended for scholars and postgraduate students in economics, development studies, political science, public administration, social welfare, sociology, international relations, and area studies. It will also be intriguing to policymakers, practitioners, donor agency officials, and other stakeholders involved in aid administration and management.Prof. Dr. Abdullah-Al-Mamun

Implementation Challenges of the Global Aid Effectiveness Agenda

Tiefgreifend und oft unbemerkt beeinflussen US-amerikanische Narrative unsere Sprache und damit unsere Denkweise und unser Handeln. Von «Mindset» über «Purpose» bis «Hustle»: Diese Begriffe, die damit zusammenhängenden&nbsp;plattformspezifischen Logiken und die ihnen zugrunde liegenden Werte prägen zunehmend unseren Blick auf uns selbst und üben einen subtilen, aber immer stärkeren Einfluss auf unsere gesellschaftliche und persönliche Identität, unsere Alltagskultur und Demokratie aus. Die Plattformen bestimmen, was sichtbar ist – und damit auch, was als «wahr» oder «normal» erscheint. Doch was verliert Sprache, wenn sie vorrangig auf Inszenierung, Klarheit und Effizienz ausgerichtet ist, wenn Differenzierung, Zweifel und Kontexte nicht stattfinden – und was verlieren wir?
Nadja Timea Scherrer analysiert den stillen Export in die Schweiz und nach Europa aus sprachpsychologischer und gesellschaftlicher, aber auch ganz persönlicher Perspektive. Ihr Buch ist kein Anti-Amerika-Manifest, sondern ein Plädoyer für mehr Bewusstsein für die eigene Kultur und deren Wandel, für mentale Souveränität und Differenzierungsfähigkeit in einer globalisierten Welt mit rasanten gesellschaftlichen, kulturellen und digitalen Veränderungen. Pointiert, eindringlich und konstruktiv behandelt es ein Thema, das gesellschaftlich hoch relevant ist.
