Perspectives on Crises

A Multidimensional Approach to Law and Politics

Drawing on themes from Africa Yearbook chapters on Madagascar, this book charts the country's journey through some of its most turbulent years. Democracy, marked by uneven progress, has weathered repeated elections, an unconstitutional government overthrow, rising social movements, and shifting domestic and international alliances. During this time, Madagascar witnessed extraordinary per capita international donor investment, signaling both global interest and urgent need. Yet the country remains a paradox: a place where solid institutions and pockets of economic growth persist alongside some of the world's deepest poverty and most fragile democratic practices. It is a story of resilience, contradiction, and transformation.

Two Decades of Madagascar

Law and Religion in a Global Context

This book is the first study to consider findings from sociology, legal anthropology, ethnology, legal pluralism, comparative law and theology in order to gain a better understanding of the diverse cultures of global Catholicism and the cross-cultural challenges arising from Roman Catholic canon law within the local churches. The author, renowned for her work at the intersection of socio-legal studies and canon law, examines the latter as a distinctive example of a European religious legal system that cuts across the myriad legal cultures of the local churches. In light of findings on legal transfer and legal colonialism, and by examining canon law within the emerging field of social and cultural studies approaches to law, her book sheds light on how canon law is imposed upon and received by the local churches around the world. It analyses the challenges and problems arising from the law’s transcultural claims within these churches. Based on these observations, the study discusses the critical stance of canon law within contemporary Catholicism and the current debates on a synodal reform of the church and its law.&nbsp; The book adopts different perspectives: As a sociological study, it describes the contemporary Eurocentrism of global canon law and the conflicts arising from it. As a theological study, it presents ecclesiological reasons for challenging the hegemony of global legislation. As a study of canon law, it suggests ways in which legislation could permit greater diversity while maintaining the unity of the universal church. By analysing canon law as a specific example of a religious legal order with cross-cultural ambitions and global claims, the book also contributes to the study of transnational law in general by illustrating the typical problems that accompany transnational legal regimes in both secular legal systems and religious groups.
This is an open access book.

Global Catholicism, Glocal Legislation, and the Local Churches

The Cultures of Canon Law

The go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming accent and linguistic bias in the workplace. The way you speak can determine everything from whether you get hired or promoted, to whether people listen to you in meetings. It can affect the strength of your business relationships and reputation, but also whether people think they can trust you. We hear accents loud and clear, yet often they are quietly derailing our efforts to create inclusive work environments where every voice is heard. Linguistic discrimination is still unrecognized in the great majority of Diversity, Equity &amp; Inclusion (DEI) circles, yet it underpins every type of discrimination in the workplace from race and age to gender, neurodiversity and even sexuality. It is the hidden bias that is derailing even the best DEI efforts. Accent Matters is the go-to resource for uncovering, understanding and overcoming linguistic bias in the workplace. Through fascinating stories and examples of accent bias from all over the world, you'll find out how you've been conditioned to prefer certain accents over others, and how those preferences interfere with the way you listen to and interact with those around you. For those who have accents, but especially for those who think they don't, this book will be an eye-opening journey into a fundamental bias that affects every aspect of our lives, both professionally and personally.

Towards a More Socio-economically Informed Development Discourse

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking in the Horn of Africa

Millions of individuals worldwide struggle to understand and assert their legal rights without legal representation. Equalizing Justice examines how AI and other technologies can address this access to justice crisis by providing unrepresented litigants with knowledge and skills traditionally available only through lawyers. This volume takes a needs-first approach, identifying tasks that unrepresented litigants must complete and mapping specific technologies to each task, such as generative AI, computational logic, and document automation. The book highlights real-world applications, demonstrating proven impact, and presents case studies and interviews to explore both the potential positive outcomes and potential challenges of AI for access to justice. Equalizing Justice proves that AI technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to create equitable justice systems serving everyone, not just those who can afford representation. The volume argues for legal AI assistants as a public good that should be accessible to all.

Equalizing Justice

This second edition of The Palgrave Handbook of Criminology and the Global South&nbsp;significantly expands, develops and draws together the rapidly growing research and theory about crime, punishment, security, prisons, policing, gender violence, environmental justice, island justice and justice innovations from, of and about the Global South. It addresses the hegemonic bias in the production and dissemination of criminological knowledge and covers a huge scope of research methodologies and lines of inquiry to develop a transnational criminology inclusive of the experiences and perspectives of the Global South. It includes Indigenous, critical, green, southern, feminist, counter-colonial, post-colonial and de-colonial approaches. It seeks to&nbsp;contribute to the bridging of global divides and reducing inequities with the aim to democratise criminological knowledges.

This booklet critically revisits the rationale and performance of UN peace operations regarding the use of coercive force for stabilization purposes in dealing with armed non-state actors. Haiti is selected as an extreme case study to examine this paradox, given the long track record of UN peace operations in the country, their current challenges and future prospects for effectively dealing with the urban criminal gangs operating in Port-au-Prince, which are keeping the country on the brink of state collapse.

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

Als junge Journalistin reist Steffi Hentschke 2012 das erste Mal nach Israel und Palästina. Vor Ort tritt die Gegenwart des Nahostkonflikts in den Vordergrund und verdrängt ihre Gedanken über die historische Verantwortung. Ihre ersten Reportagen schreibt sie über den Besatzungstourismus, zwischendurch liegt sie am Strand von Tel Aviv und fragt sich, warum sie sich hier so wohl fühlt ¿ trotz Krieg und Gewalt. Was als Urlaub beginnt, entwickelt sich zu einer mehrjährigen Suche: Sie reist ins Westjordanland, in den Iran, in den Libanon. Und entscheidet sich, Nahostkorrespondentin zu werden.&nbsp; 
Steffi Hentschke verbindet persönliche Erfahrung mit politischer Analyse. Sie beschreibt die Entwicklungen vor und nach dem Terrorangriff der Hamas am 7. Oktober 2023 - und ringt um eine Haltung, die Widersprüche aushalten kann und sich nicht mit einfachen Antworten zufrieden gibt.

Warum sich der Nahostkonflikt nicht durch Diskussionen darüber, wer angefangen hat, beenden lässtWie soll man sachlich bleiben in diesem hoch emotionalisierten Konflikt? Diese Frage stellt sich seit dem 7. Oktober 2023 radikaler als je zuvor. Steffi Hentschke lebt in Tel Aviv und arbeitet als Nahostkorrespondentin. 2012 beginnt sie, sich mit Israel und Palästina zu befassen. Sie reist nach Jerusalem, Ramallah, in den Iran, in den Libanon. Ihr Buch verbindet persönliche Erfahrungen mit politischer Analyse.»Ich schätze Steffi Hentschke für ihre klugen, differenzierten Analysen – für Berichte, in denen sie genau hinsieht, versucht zu verstehen und Komplexitäten nicht künstlich vereinfacht. Sie ist eine der Journalistinnen, die ich immer lese, wenn ich wissen will, was in Israel los ist.« Ronya Othmann»Steffi Hentschke traut uns zu, empathisch mit der Zivilbevölkerung zu sein, egal auf welcher ›Seite‹ sie lebt. Ihr Buch zeigt die Widersprüche, die Gewalt, die Unmöglichkeit einfacher Antworten. Und ist genau deshalb so wertvoll.« Ronen Steinke»Eines der wichtigsten Werke zum Nahostkonflikt, das ich bisher gelesen habe. Große Leseempfehlung!« Joana Osman»Es ist eben doch ein sehr komplizierter Konflikt, und die Tatsache, dass Steffi Hentschke nicht leichtfertig Urteile fällt, ist die große Stärke dieses Buchs.« Dana von Suffrin

Polen ist nicht das einzige Land in Europa, das von Rechtspopulisten regiert wird. Doch die Gespenster der Vergangenheit drängen hier mit besonderer Impertinenz an die Macht. Das liegt, so die These des Essays, an der Wirkmächtigkeit des Untergrunds. Widerstand gegen Fremdherrschaft, Besatzung und Krieg - man denke an den Untergrundstaat im Zweiten Weltkrieg oder die klandestin operierende Solidarnosc-Bewegung -, ist zentral für das nationale Selbstverständnis, der assoziationsreiche Grund, auf dem die Partei Recht und Gerechtigkeit (PiS) ihre Herrschaft errichtet: Untergrund macht Staat. Ist der Untergrund und mit ihm das Subversive, Widerständige nun für immer vergiftet? Oder gibt es neue, transnational orientierte Bürgerbewegungen »von unten«?

Human Rights Law in Perspective

This book makes a new and original contribution to the old debate about differences between socio-economic and civil and political rights, which has engaged human rights discourse over several decades. Although scholars and practitioners now agree that these categories are more alike than originally assumed, they continue to delineate them based on the alleged difference between immediate and progressive realisation. The book asks whether this differentiation is still valid by exploring the historical and theoretical background, the text of relevant UN human rights treaties, and the practice of the UN human rights committees. By so doing, it shows that the standards of realisation converge more than diverge and that this last remaining distinction should be abandoned. Human rights lawyers, advocates, practitioners and policy makers will find this book invaluable as it brings much needed clarification to this key question.
