Palgrave Studies in Race, Ethnicity, Indigeneity and Criminal Justice

This Handbook addresses the role of the criminal-legal system in projecting and enforcing racial injustice across the globe. It consists of high-profile contributions that expose structural relations, global colonial and imperial histories, class oppression, and ongoing hegemonic domination that generate racial injustices and are embedded in criminalization and law enforcement. The Handbook considers racist ideologies and their origins, racist institutions, procedures, and practices, and their impacts, and resistance/collective responses to racism. It includes a range of different types of chapters including conceptual/theoretical, empirical, methodological, practitioner, and activist insights. It speaks to contemporary issues and is first of its kind to address racial injustice on a global scale. It is explicitly anti-racist and gathers works of critical criminology, sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, and cognate fields. The Handbook pays special attention to intersectional dynamics including nexuses of racism, class, gender, and sexuality. The Handbook focusses on the settler colonial and global majority countries, their peoples and their struggles, including questions of Indigenous justice.

The Palgrave Handbook of Racial Injustice and Resistance

In three decades under the leadership of Kenneth Roth, Human Rights Watch conducted investigations in 100 countries to uncover abuses - and pressured offending governments to stop them. Roth has grappled with the worst of humanity, taken on the most ruthless oppressors of our time, and persuaded leaders from around the globe to stand up to their repressive counterparts. The son of a Jew who fled Nazi Germany just before the war began, Roth grew up knowing full well how inhumane governments could be. He has travelled the world to meet cruelty and injustice on its home turf: he arrived in Rwanda shortly after the genocide; scrutinized the impact of Saddam's invasion of Kuwait; investigated and condemned Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians. He directed efforts to curtail the Chinese government's persecution of Uyghur Muslims, to bring Myanmar's officials to justice after the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, to halt Russian war crimes in Ukraine, even to rein in the U.S. government. Roth's many innovations and strategies included the deployment of a concept as old as mankind - the powerful tool of 'shaming' - and here he illustrates its surprising effectiveness against evildoers. This is a story of wins, losses, and ongoing battles in the ceaseless fight for a more decent world.

Die Demokratie ist heute mit einer außergewöhnlichen Verdichtung an externen Krisen konfrontiert: Klimawandel, Migration, Pandemie, Krieg und entgrenzter Kapitalismus. Doch was meinen wir eigentlich, wenn wir von 'der' Demokratie sprechen? Wie gehen die entwickelten Demokratien mit diesen Herausforderungen um? Begegnen sie dem Zeitdruck mit 'Verschlankung' der demokratischen Verfahren? Antworten sie auf die rechtspopulistischen Bewegungen mit illiberalen Instrumenten wie Verboten, Überwachung und Ausschlüssen? Befinden sich die Demokratien im Niedergang? Die Pfade sind nicht vorgezeichnet, der Niedergang ist nicht besiegelt. Die Schwächen und Blessuren der liberalen Demokratien treten heute jedoch deutlicher hervor als noch zur Jahrtausendwende. Aber neben der neuen Zerbrechlichkeit der Demokratie stehen auch beachtliche Erfolge der Demokratisierung, etwa in Geschlechterfragen oder der Zivilgesellschaft. Bei allen Sorgen - so Wolfgang Merkel in der 2., aktualisierten und erweiterten Auflage seines Standardwerks - sollte man die Resilienz der liberalen Demokratien nicht unterschätzen.

The 1969 ‘Greek Case’ in the Council of Europe

Populism, a significant phenomenon in today’s liberal democracies, deserves in-depth analysis, and here is the most comprehensive book on populism recently, covering the Politics of Populism as well as the Economics of Populism and What to Do About It.&nbsp; So far, the discussion has suffered from the fact that social scientists critical of capitalism have used populism as a new opportunity to rail against the market economy or that populism has been seen as an understandable “cultural backlash” against the excesses of green and left-wing activists.&nbsp; Neither approach points to a realistic solution.&nbsp; Heiko J. Starossom’s analysis, presented in his book, boldly departs from the traditional approach, offering a fresh and enlightening perspective.&nbsp; He examines populism from an interdisciplinary point of view, not just focusing on the economy but also including cultural and psychological aspects, leaving the ideological left-right scheme behind.&nbsp; One way to address a problem is to eliminate its causes.&nbsp; In the “Politics of Populism,” he identifies three leading political causes: “cartel parties” or the convergence of the major political parties, the latent authoritarian tendency of a significant proportion of the population, and the loss of established status–a concept that refers to the erosion of traditional social hierarchies and norms.&nbsp; In the context of the “Economics of Populism,” possible economic triggers of populism are unemployment and pressure on wages due to globalization or technological progress and economic inequality.&nbsp; Unfortunately, there may be no easy solution to the principal political and economic drivers of populism.&nbsp; The answer, thus, lies in a revitalized philosophy that champions the meaning in life and places the community at its center.&nbsp; Strengthening human relationships in family and community is perhaps the most critical source of meaning in life and could be a promising solution worth trying.&nbsp; &nbsp;The AuthorHeiko J. Starossom, an adjunct professor at the University of Bremen, Germany, divides his time between Naples, Florida, and Bremen, Germany. &nbsp;

Modern China and International Economic Law

This book offers a structured exploration of China’s commercial arbitration system, beginning with its procedural foundations and jurisdictional framework, followed by an emphasis on due process, arbitrator skills, and the critical importance of upholding valid arbitration agreements. It delves into legal complexities surrounding the application of domestic law, international conventions like the CISG, and the integration of mediation in dispute resolution, while concluding with ethical standards for arbitrators to ensure fairness and credibility. Bridging procedural rigor, practical insights, and ethical imperatives, the work serves as a comprehensive guide for navigating China’s arbitration landscape, balancing academic analysis with actionable guidance for practitioners.

This textbook provides an accessible and student-friendly introduction to rhetoric and rhetorical criticism. The volume grounds the key concepts in rhetorical studies in case studies from American political life in the 20th and 21st centuries, such as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter From A Birmingham Jail" and the “Birds Aren’t Real” satirical social movement. Each chapter traces the genealogy of one key concept within the discipline, details how the key concept can help justify a rhetoric student’s specific site of inquiry, and discusses how the key concept can be used to analyze the invention and reception of our most important public arguments. Each chapter concludes by discussing the ethical considerations highlighted by applying the key concept to the rhetorical dimensions of our student’s daily lives. The book includes pedagogical features such as learning objectives, glossary terms, and discussion questions.Luke Winslow (Ph.D., The University of Texas at Austin) is an associate professor of rhetorical studies in the Department of Communication at Baylor University.
