Sawyer V: THE CUSTODY OF TRUTH

THE CUSTODY OF TRUTH

Through a series of discussions with practitioners in fields beyond the Humanities, this book explores how key creative writing techniques inspire and inform other disciplines. In turn, this new multidisciplinary view of the mechanics of storytelling sparks new ways of approaching the writing, reading and teaching of fiction in and beyond the writing workshop. A personal voyage of discovery, the book revolves around conversationswith specialists in archaeology, genetics, architecture, medicine, law and botanical science to consider how specific techniques - narrative time, characterisation, fictionalstructures, plotting, point of view and place - inform their work. Through a series of reflections, short fictions, practical exercises and prompts, these case studies then suggest new insights and methods for investigating key writing techniques, which in turn advocate for closer interactions between STEM, the humanities and arts practice. With creative arts subjects increasingly under pressure to justify their significance in contemporary work and life, Jacqueline Yallop makes a case for the re-evaluation of the importance of narrative writing craft in the world beyond personal practiceand student assignment.

Creative Writing Across Disciplines

Fiction in the Field

Friedenstheorien

The book examines how multiple and conflicting justice claims shape international negotiations. It conceptualizes justice as ambivalent, showing that efforts to promote fairness can also produce injustice. Theoretically, it traces human rights and state sovereignty to natural law traditions and introduces the concepts of a 'justice motive' and 'justization' to explain how states frame issues in moral terms. Empirically, it analyzes UN negotiations, including the Arms Trade Treaty and the UNPoA, as well as the International Criminal Court and conflict-related sexual violence. These cases show that justice claims can both enable cooperation and hinder agreements, making justice a central yet contested force in global governance.

The Justice Motive in Multilateral Negotiations

From the rise of China as a technological superpower, to wars on its eastern borders, to the belief that the US is no longer a reliable ally, the European Commission sees the world as more unstable than at any other time in recent history. As such, the Commission has become the Geopolitical Commission, working to serve the interests of the Geopolitical Union. Central to many of these conflicts is technology - who produces it, where it is produced, and who controls it. These questions are central to the Commission's pursuit of digital/technological sovereignty, Europe's attempt to regain control of technology regulation. Focusing on topics such as setting technological standards, ensuring access to microchips, reining in online platforms, and securing rules for industrial data and AI, this book explores the EU's approach to lawmaking in this field; increased regulatory oversight and promotion of industrial policy at home, while exporting its rules abroad.

<div>'Brilliant. A fresh and highly engaging look at how Rome still shapes the world today.' Jonn Elledge 'This book will change the way you think about world history.'&nbsp; Raphael Cormack'Authoritative and engaging.' Subhadra Das'A fascinating and entertaining analysis of how Rome’s propaganda has colonized our collective imaginations.'Eleanor Janega 'Eloquent, well-researched and witty.' David M. Perry How many times a day do you think about the Roman Empire? The general consensus seems to be an awful lot. All Roads Lead to Rome explains why. Rome is more than just a city; it’s an enduring idea, a symbol of identity, power and legitimacy that has shaped the course of history for over 1,500 years. From ancient emperors to modern world leaders, Rome’s influence in building the world we know today is undeniable.&nbsp; In All Roads Lead to Rome, author and historian Rhiannon Garth Jones embarks on a fascinating exploration of how the idea of Rome has been seized by emperors, modern governments, religious leaders and even pop-culture icons. &nbsp; Each chapter examines how Rome’s famous history, politics and mythology have been reimagined through the centuries, and explores how these interpretations continue to shape our modern world. Whether you’re interested in history, contemporary global issues or simply curious about why Rome remains relevant, this book offers a fresh perspective on the lasting significance of one of history’s most famous civilisations.&nbsp; Dive into the history of Rome and its pervasive influence and gain a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the global landscape today.&nbsp;</div>

This book examines how "colorblind" policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality. Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity-particularly in education. Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity. For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse.

Juridicum – Schriften zu Recht und Digitalisierung

Fremdsprachige Elemente prägen zunehmend den Alltag strafrechtlicher Verfahren. Die Gründe dafür sind vielfältig: Durchlässigere Binnengrenzen innerhalb Europas, globale Flucht- und Migrationsbewegungen, die Digitalisierung sowie internationale wirtschaftliche Verflechtungen. All das führt dazu, dass Gerichte und Strafverfolgungsbehörden immer häufiger vor Sprachbarrieren stehen. Dies betrifft nicht nur Verfahren gegen nicht deutschsprachige Beschuldigte, sondern ebenso fremdsprachige Beweismittel und internationale Ermittlungsmaßnahmen. Gleichzeitig ist die Strafjustiz mit begrenzten finanziellen und personellen Ressourcen konfrontiert.
&nbsp;
Das Buch untersucht die aktuellen Rahmenbedingungen der Translation im Strafverfahren – von der Kommunikation mit sprachunkundigen Verfahrensbeteiligten bis hin zur Verarbeitung fremdsprachiger Beweise und der Unterstützung bei Ermittlungsmaßnahmen. Analysiert werden bestehende Strukturen, rechtliche Anforderungen und praktische Defizite. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen Anwendungen Künstlicher Intelligenz in diesen Konstellationen eine rechtssichere Unterstützung bieten können. Die Arbeit zeigt Chancen und Grenzen moderner Technologien auf und beleuchtet, welche Bedeutung KI künftig für die Gestaltung effizienter und zugleich rechtsstaatlich abgesicherter Strafverfahren haben kann.

This book explores how COVID-19 represents an inflection point for re-thinking and re-making democracy across the English-speaking world in an age where states are facing a future of overlapping crises. Years after the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic started to unfold, have we yet learned the deep lessons essential to maintaining and improving democracy to meet crisis challenges? Produced with the benefit of distance from the most acute period of the pandemic, the book contextualises the COVID-19 crisis as revealing pre-existing vulnerabilities and intensifying challenges of governance, inclusion, and distrust, while also spurring democratic innovation and shifting the parameters for reform. Six national case studies - Australia, Ireland, Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand, UK and USA - reveal the heterogeneity of the Anglosphere as an imagined democratic space. Viewed in the round, pandemic responses ranged from the chaotic to the internationally lauded, although even the latter have featured acute deficiencies in democratic practice, which underscores the need to gather the lessons learned. Yet, in all states, the public and political temptation to simply move on, in an act of communal forgetting and collective return to "normalcy," presents a real risk of failing to prepare for more democratic future crisis responses. This collection takes the long view, approaching its subject from multiple perspectives that examine the heterogeneity of the Anglosphere as an imagined democratic space. Taking a cross-disciplinary approach and bringing together both leading and emerging experts on democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law, this book powerfully combines the insights of retrospective analysis with future-focused contemplation of where our democracies are heading.

Rechtsextremismus und Rechtspopulismus

Elf Jahre lang ermittelte die Polizei in einer der größten Mordserien der Nachkriegszeit. Neun Migranten und eine Polizistin wurden hingerichtet. Im November 2011 bekannte sich der Nationalsozialistische Untergrund (NSU) zu den Morden und zu Terroranschlägen auf migrantische Einrichtungen. Die Polizei engagierte sich erst ab dem sechsten Mord im Juni 2005 stärker in den Ermittlungen, sie qualifizierte die Morde jedoch fast ausschließlich als mafiöse Verbrechen im Drogenmilieu. Der hier immer auch präsente Rassismus bekam eine andere Funktion. Markus Mohr und Daniel Roth unterziehen die in der nachträglichen Aufarbeitung des NSU als 'Versagen' titulierte Polizeiarbeit einer kritischen Überprüfung und stellen heraus, warum es sich dabei um eine moralisierende Leerformel handelt.&nbsp;

Stärkere Strahlkraft – Wahrheit und Lüge im NSU-Komplex

Strategic lessons for monetary policy from the last two tumultuous decades based on insights from Sun Tzu, the Chinese philosopher and author of The Art of War. When central banks were forced to innovate and develop a multifaceted set of new weapons in response to the 2008 global financial crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the result was a substantial expansion in their authority and reach. In The Art of Monetary Policy, Kristin Forbes draws lessons for monetary policy of the last two decades from the principles of Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War, a Chinese philosopher and military strategist from the fifth century BC. Tzu proposed several key principles for success—tenets that apply to monetary policy and the battlefield today: (1) plan in advance for the next battle; (2) accept and adapt to the inevitability of powerful, external shocks outside your control; (3) establish a strong tactical position; (4) develop a variety of weapons that can be combined for different maneuvers and situations; (5) maintain flexibility so that you can quickly modify your strategy; and (6) consider the longer-term costs when evaluating the trade-offs of different approaches. These principles provide insights into what central banks did (and did not) do well over the last two decades, as well as how they should deploy interest rates, balance sheets, emergency support programs, forward guidance, and macroprudential tools in the future. While the optimal strategy in both war and monetary policy is more of an “art” than a science, adopting these principles can improve our ability to battle the next crisis and build more resilient economies during peaceful periods.

As the climate crisis intensifies, contemporary literature has emerged as one of the most potent arenas for legal imagination. 
 Legal Drafts in Anthropocene Literature 
 examines how fiction set in the Anthropocene — ranging from cli-fi novels to experimental poetry — anticipates, critiques and actively shapes the development of legal frameworks aimed at addressing environmental destruction.
 Building on the key idea that literature acts as a ‘seismographic’ indicator of legal change, this volume brings together Alexandra Juster, Justine Scarlaken, Matthew Birkhold, and Amitabh Vikram Dwivedi, who analyse works by John Ironmonger, Gaspard Koenig, Jean Giono, Camille de Toledo, Baptiste Morizot, Jessie Kleemann, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Indra Sinha. The authors reveal how fictional narratives generate what the volume terms 'legal drafts' — implicit or explicit proposals for new legal concepts, instruments, and responsibilities that are urgently needed in the Anthropocene era.The volume addresses the most pressing legal questions of our time: How can individuals and collectives be held accountable for climate damage? Should nature be granted legal personality? What would an ‘ecocide’ prosecution entail, and how can narratives render such an unthinkable crime imaginable? How does poetry expose the epistemological limits of law when confronted with slow violence and planetary interdependence?The contributions collectively demonstrate that literature does not merely reflect legal reality — it actively generates it, from river parliaments and beaver diplomacy in contemporary French literature to Greenlandic poetic testimony as a speculative lawsuit against ice melt and the narrative jurisprudence of climate governance fiction.
