Plato's Reverent City

The Laws and the Politics of Authority

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 1. Reverence and the Politics of Authority.- Chapter 2. Plato’s Laws and the Enigma of Godlikeness.- Chapter 3. Classical Utopianism in Plato’s Laws.- Chapter 4. The Athenian’s Rehabilitation of Tragedy.- Chapter 5. Reverence and the Disunity of Political Virtue.- Chapter 6. Epilogue.&lt;/p&gt;

Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and what the unsung heroes of social movements past can teach us about navigating our chaotic world In this timely new book in Beacon’s successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples’ resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today’s climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall expands how to think about protest through sharing select historical moments and revealing the role of key players involved in those efforts. Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those examples of protest include those of Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018. Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that not only is dissent meaningful and impactful but is an essential tool for eliciting long lasting change.

A Protest History of the United States

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.

This book offers a thorough investigation of how Citizen Charters may be effective vehicles for improving accountability, transparency, and citizen engagement in local governance, focusing particularly on Bangladesh's experience&nbsp;within the broader South Asian context, highlighting how Citizen Charters may empower people and change local government responsiveness in developing nations. Structured across eight thematically interconnected chapters, the book starts with a solid conceptual and theoretical analysis of local government and accountability systems. It then compares implementation strategies in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan—finding insights and challenges that speak universally. It then moves on to investigate the history of Citizen Charters and the path of local government reform in Bangladesh, revealing the contextual reality, institutional constraints, and reform initiatives influencing service delivery.
The book offers insights into how Citizen Charters function in practice, what hinders their effectiveness, and how their potential might be tapped by drawing on actual case studies from Union Parishads—Bangladesh's lowest tier of rural local government. It is essential reading for scholars of public administration, governance, and development studies; legislators looking for evidence-based reform ideas; NGO workers focussing on civic involvement and accountability; and anyone curious about how grassroots tools such as Citizen Charters can support the inclusive and accountable government in the Global South.

Populism has fundamentally altered many aspects of world politics.&nbsp;As President Donald J. Trump’s&nbsp;recent threats to&nbsp;U.S. allies&nbsp;and his imposition of wide-ranging tariffs&nbsp;have made all too clear,&nbsp;“populist” leaders&nbsp;can have a&nbsp;major&nbsp;impact not just on domestic&nbsp;but also&nbsp;foreign&nbsp;policy. The first edition of Populism&nbsp;and Word Politics&nbsp;was the first book-length treatment of populism from an International Relations (IR) perspective.&nbsp;The second edition reflects the continuation and evolution of populism in world politics, and includes&nbsp;a new introduction,&nbsp;updated chapters and an additional&nbsp;contribution&nbsp;on populist security narratives. Written by leading experts in the field, the&nbsp;chapters in&nbsp;this volume&nbsp;explore&nbsp;the many&nbsp;ways populism and world politics intersect, including&nbsp;the importance of&nbsp;populist leadership&nbsp;and&nbsp;global media&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;populism’s impact on trade and the liberal international order. Presented in an accessible and clear style, this book is an essential resource for students and&nbsp;IR&nbsp;scholars,&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;practitioners seeking a deeper understanding&nbsp;of the phenomenon.

Populism and World Politics

The first woman to serve as United Nations Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territory conveys the spirit of a people through 10 unforgettable stories of resilience and humanity. Francesca Albanese is the most lucid voice against Israel’s apartheid policies in Gaza and the West Bank, a voice that has been heard around the world when it comes to speaking the truth about the Palestinian genocide. In the wake of October 7, 2023, and Israel’s retaliatory war, the renowned Italian jurist has become a lightning rod for her staunch defense of human rights.&nbsp; Reflecting on her years living in Jerusalem and her personal and professional journey toward understanding the Palestinian struggle, Albanese pays tribute to 10 people whose profoundly affecting stories opened her eyes, from Hind Rajab, a young Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces, to the remarkable Jewish scholars who acted as Albanese’s mentors: forensic architect Eyal Weizman, trauma expert Gabor Maté, and Holocaust historian Alon Confino. When the World Sleeps is a courageous testimony of the harsh reality that Palestinians face. It raises critical questions about the past, present, and future of Palestine: What are the consequences of the occupation? Where is a refugee’s home? In what conditions do Palestinians live?&nbsp;With the uncertain end of the war, will there be a Palestinian state? Will Palestinians have the right to self-determination, and will they be able to live in peace, free at last from the coercion of Israel?

When the World Sleeps

Law and Philosophy Library

In this book, John Finnis provides a virtually unparalleled, in-depth assessment of Leon Petrażycki’s work by a Western scholar. In the opening chapter, Finnis takes up the challenge of reading Petrażycki not simply as a historical curiosity of Eastern European jurisprudence but as a thinker whose wide-ranging and ambitious ideas continue to spark debate today. He critiques not only Petrażycki’s non-standard “economic analysis of law,” which differs markedly from the Chicago School model (not to mention from Guido Calabresi’s and Pietro Trimarchi’s versions), but also many other aspects of Petrażycki’s various contributions to jurisprudence. These include, above all, his legal-realistic but nonetheless appreciative treatment of the natural-law tradition(s), which makes Petrażycki both distinctive and difficult to classify in terms of standard schools of thought.Finnis’ essay is followed by nine further contributions. Written by scholars from different traditions and standpoints, they criticize, reassess, and elaborate upon Finnis’ arguments, creating a rich and multi-voiced dialogue. The volume concludes with Finnis’ own, extensive “concluding reflections,” in which he directly responds to his fellow contributors, clarifying his original questions and replying to the challenges raised in their chapters.This unique volume showcases Finnis’ insights, while enabling his interlocutors to highlight the depth and complexity of both Finnis’ and Petrażycki’s thought, as well as broader issues – more relevant now than ever – such as the differences between Catholic natural law, Orthodox natural law, and Petrażycki’s atheistic, humanistic, anti-speciesist ideal of substituting love for law and morality alike.

Ten Scholars in Dialogue on Legal Realism and Natural Law

Debating Finnis on Petrażycki

This book explores how both common law and civil law traditions have long devoted extensive attention to&nbsp;litigious facts—those directly related to the parties involved in a dispute. These facts have consistently been central to procedural theories, particularly the theory of evidence.
At the same time, it draws attention to another category of facts that remain largely unexamined by judges and lawyers. Especially in the context of constitutional review and binding precedents, there are facts that do not concern the litigants—or at least not exclusively. These are general facts, connected to social life and the functioning of the world, and they closely resemble&nbsp;legislative facts. Since law presupposes reality and social needs—facts that concern everyone—their presence in constitutional adjudication should not come as a surprise.
The volume&nbsp;introduces the concept of&nbsp;constitutional facts, which emerge when constitutional review moves beyond its normative roots and engages with the lived reality of society. Deciding based on constitutional facts carries a significant democratic dimension.
While the analysis&nbsp;acknowledges that constitutional decisions should remain open to institutional dialog, it also argues that deliberation should not be prematurely closed when constitutional facts—overlooked by the legislature or still under public debate—are brought before the judiciary through legal challenges.
Beyond theory, the work also addresses decision-making strategies that foster institutional dialog around these facts, offering a framework that supports more transparent and participatory constitutional adjudication.

This volume provides a nuanced analysis of the profound impact left by the dissenting opinion in the Tokyo Trial by Justice Radha Binod Pal's&nbsp;ideological stance on modern international criminal law. It consists of a detailed examination of this bold opinion on post-war justice that built the legacy of Justice Radha Binod Pal. Through an interdisciplinary perspective, this collection analyses the contemporary impact of Justice Pal's dissent and his ideologies and how they can impact contemporary dialogue in international law revolving around fairness, justice, accountability and inclusivity in international law and global power dynamics. It explores the intersection of his critique with contemporary concerns such as the decolonisation of international law, the legitimacy of global legal institutions, and the pursuit of a just world order. By engaging with issues such as territorial conflicts, and the role of legal pluralism, this volume aligns with the broader objectives of SDG16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), offering a critical lens on how international law can evolve to promote equitable and transparent global governance. With contributions ranging from analysis of historical perspectives to examination of contemporary implications, the edited volume shall be essential for readers interested in international law and scholars established in the research field of international criminal law, international humanitarian law and human rights, fair global order and the evolving role of dissent, inclusivity, cultural and social contextualisation.

Beyond Victor’s Justice and Pursuit of Sustainable Development in International Law

Springer Climate

This book argues for the urgent need for evidence-based solutions to the climate crisis by bridging scientific progress, policy, and finance. It offers a comprehensive framework for achieving climate justice through green economics, sustainable financing, and equitable adaptation measures. Despite progress, global emissions continue to rise, and adaptation efforts remain inconsistent. The book assesses these gaps and proposes aligning economic incentives, financial instruments, and governance structures with climate goals.

Addressing the unequal burden of climate change, the volume further discusses mechanisms for inclusive green finance and equitable adaptation strategies. It also examines the impact of climate change on public health, advocating for integrated frameworks that prioritize prevention and resilience. The book calls for a shift from project-based funding to portfolio-level investments in clean energy and reforestation. Combining technology, social sciences, and economics, the book promotes community-driven solutions and effective communication strategies to strenghten informed, coordinated action toward a sustainable future.

The Capital / Logic Debate is the first of two volumes on how Marx used Hegel's Logic in his Capital.

&nbsp;

Andy Blunden reviews the current literature on the topic with detailed analysis of the contribution of ten authors, representing the spectrum of approaches. Finding that present-day writers fail to understand the Logic and misrepresent Capital as a work of Logic, Blunden focuses on the passage in the Logic entitled "The Idea of the True," which is ignored by every writer in the present-day debate.
