Political Corruption and Governance

This book explores how public sector organisations at both national and local levels of Swedish government work to promote integrity and fight ethics violations.Integrity and ethical conduct are key to maintaining citizens' trust in public organisations. Whilst various performance indicators suggest that public governance works well and corruption is low, citizens still perceive corruption and other ethics violations to be pertinent problems. In such contexts, ethics management plays an important role for upholding integrity. This book examines these issues in the context of Sweden. It analyses how ethics management is used in public sector organisations, offers new insights on staff and stakeholder inclusion in public sector ethics management, and presents practical solutions based on theoretically informed in-depth empirical research.&nbsp;It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as practiitoners.&nbsp;Staffan Andersson
 is Associate Professor in Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. His research interests include political and administrative ethics, corruption and anti-corruption.&nbsp;
 Helena Ekelund
 is Senior Lecturer in Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. Her research interests include agency governance at national and EU levels.

This book explores how public sector organisations work to promote integrity and fight ethics violations. Integrity and ethical conduct are key to maintaining public confidence in these organisations. Many established and wealthy democracies face a paradoxical situation. While various performance indicators suggest that public governance works comparatively well and with relatively low corruption levels, citizens still perceive corruption and other ethics violations to be pertinent problems. In such contexts, ethics management plays an important role for upholding integrity. This book examines these issues in the context of Sweden, at both national and local levels of government. It analyses ethics management strategies in public sector organisations and the bodies that support their ethics work, offers new insights on staff and stakeholder inclusion, and presents practical solutions based on theoretically informed in-depth empirical research.It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as practitioners.

Studies in Australian Law, Politics and History

This book lays out a roadmap for establishing common law recognition of Aboriginal customary law in Australia. Currently, Aboriginal customary law is recognised in limited circumstances through native title, which applies only to rights and interests over traditional lands or waters. This book argues that, if a carefully constructed claim is accepted by an Australian Court, Aboriginal customary law could potentially be recognised across a wide range of legal areas, including criminal law, family law, succession, environmental law, and criminal procedure. Importantly, this would also afford legal recognition to organic Indigenous governance structures. It also proposes a roadmap for establishing a hybrid equitable-constitutional fiduciary obligation that the Crown would owe Indigenous Australians. This could provide valuable protections to Indigenous rights and societies from impositions made by legislatures and executives purporting to exercise powers under the 
 Australian Constitution. Distinctive in its approach, this volume is among the first post-2020 works to explore a common law pathway for recognising and furthering the rights of Indigenous societies, governance systems, and legal frameworks, at a time when most scholarship has focused on express constitutional recognition or recognition via treaties and agreements (notably in Victoria).
 The book builds on the landmark High Court decision in 
 Love v Commonwealth 
 (2020), where the Court recognised that Aboriginal Australians, owing to their enduring connection to country, could not be considered ‘aliens’ under the 
 Constitution
 . While 
 Love 
 initially addressed alienage and constitutional protections, this work argues that its reasoning opens the door to broader common law recognition of Indigenous Australians’ rights, laws, and governance structures, beyond the scope of native title.
 Through careful legal analysis and a proposed claims framework, this book contributes to an emergent body of scholarship exploring the legal consequences of recognizing Aboriginal Australians’ enduring connection to country, offering a path toward meaningful expansion of Indigenous legal recognition in Australia, and bringing Australian law closer to the more progressive Indigenous rights doctrines of common law North America.

Hart Studies in Constitutional Theory

This book challenges the near-universal acceptance of a US-style, Western constitutional paradigm as the best basis for comparative constitutional studies. It does so on three main grounds: anachronism, 'othering' and cultural specificity. Main pillars of 'convergent constitutional theory' are rooted in the revolutionary, late-eighteenth century - a lost world; constitutional arrangements that deviate from the paradigm are often branded as 'outliers' or even as not constitutional at all; and the foundations of the paradigm in liberal democracy give no space for other forms of constitutionalism. Whatever the attractions of convergent theory as a normative ideal of good government, for the purposes of understanding, analysing and explaining constitutional systems it is far from ideal. This book discusses and questions: convergent theory's weddedness to writing as the technology of constitution-making; its image of a constitution as fundamental law; its idea that a constitution expresses the 'sovereignty of the people'; its use of tripartite separation of powers as the basic principle of institutional design; its relative neglect of administrative law; its association of 'rights' with judicially enforceable bills of rights; and its obsession with a vaguely specified concept of 'democracy'. It makes suggestions for alternative, preferable methods of understanding, analysing and explaining constitutions, and governmental and constitutional systems.

The Distorting Lens of Convergent Constitutional Theory

Gaskell and the Law

This timely edited collection offers a critical and multidisciplinary examination of the European Union's Migration and Asylum Pact, marking the third major reform phase of the Common European Asylum System. As the EU seeks to present a unified and effective response to migration challenges, the Pact introduces sweeping changes-from border procedures and asylum processing to external partnerships and data-driven governance. Bringing together leading scholars, legal practitioners, and NGO experts, the collection explores the Pact's implications ahead of its implementation. Contributors interrogate its legal foundations, political motivations, and operational mechanisms, offering insights into how the EU balances efficiency with fundamental rights, solidarity with sovereignty, and innovation with accountability. Organised around four central themes - political solidarity, border management, external cooperation, and rights compliance - the volume highlights the tensions and contradictions within the Pact. It asks: Can the EU harmonise divergent national approaches to migration? Will faster procedures compromise legal safeguards? How will partnerships with third countries affect asylum seekers' rights? With chapters covering topics such as AI at the border, the coloniality of digital technologies, and the role of EU institutions in enforcement and oversight, this book is an essential resource for academics, policymakers, lawyers, and students. It offers not only a critique but also a roadmap for understanding the future of asylum governance in Europe.

Interpreting The Amistad Trials traces the signal importance of interpreters and translators in the famous 19th-century Amistad case and discusses how race, ethnicity, slavery, and colonialism shaped this story. From the recruitment process to the various oral to sign languages that mediated linguistically in the Africans' life inside and outside the courtroom, and from evidentiary documents to fraudulent translations to credible testimonies, Jeanette Zaragoza-De León demonstrates the crucial importance of translation and interpretation in the Amistad plot and outcome. De León examines handwritten letters, pamphlets, newspapers, and judicial files, and adopts a critical race theory and postcolonial lens to analyze these materials. Although these critical interpretations and translations travelled transatlantically via Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, De León highlights the common thread which also geographically unites Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic as part of the Amistad story. One of the most comprehensive studies of recorded events in the history of interpretation and translation in the Americas, Interpreting The Amistad Trials is a valuable resource for researchers studying coloniality, enslavement, race and ethnic studies and examining how these issues mattered then and now.
