Financial Relief After Foreign Divorce

International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

This book analyses what elements of legal regulation would best resolve the longstanding issues of imposition of terms and unfair terms in boilerplate 'contracts of adhesion'. The problem is not a new one, first recognised by Sir Frederick Pollock, but it has persisted over the intervening years. So though the question is a longstanding one, the answer provided by the book is truly innovative. It adopts a 'law in context' methodology to offer solutions. The new methodological approach is combined with insights from global regulatory theory and cutting edge solutions such as private collectivised proceedings and remedies, streamlined adjudication, and administrative enforcement systems. It takes a global approach, looking at models in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU. As the use of boilerplates is set only to increase as privatisation and globalisation spread, the answers provided by this book are much needed.

I'm just going to Hoover the stairs first.'If you are at all interested in the nuts and bolts of story-telling and the curious workings of the entertainment industry, then this is the most informative, inspiring and funniest book on writing you will ever read, by someone who's been nominated for every showbiz award going (and then lost them all).Covering four decades in an ever-changing industry, John O'Farrell shares his writing journey from unsolicited radio sketches to huge Broadway musicals, crafting stories that have made people laugh, cry or sneak out to the pub in the interval. Here he reveals the inside secrets of every genre from sketches to sitcoms, novels to screenplays - as John kept swapping industries just before they noticed the missing Post-It Notes.Maybe If I Changed The Font? is packed with invaluable advice on structure, character, theme as well as guidance on how to get your work read by professionals and produced to great acclaim from millions - or maybe just several members of your family - you never know which way it's going to go.

Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought

Political and Cultural Conflict Today addresses the fierce animosity splitting factions in Western democracies, with a primary focus on the USA. The author demonstrates that today's societal divisions stem from a collision between the two divergent forms of Modernity that emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries-here called Modernity 1 and Modernity 2.Modernity shattered the God- (or gods-)infused hierarchies that once ordered society, liberating individuals to become responsible for themselves. Modernity 1 expresses this liberation through freedom and individual rights grounded in reason and evidence, mandating collaboration in a world requiring empirical justification. This gave rise to the group structures of democracy and science. However, the very freedom gained through Modernity's destruction of traditional hierarchies also enabled individual beliefs untethered from objective reality; thus Modernity 2 was born. The author argues that the clash between these streams manifests today in the rejection of scientific authority, the resurgence of populist movements, and the deepening cultural divide between elites and populists.Fleming's clearly written, cross-disciplinary analysis aims at defusing the conflict by demonstrating that both sides are parts of Modernity, shaped by the same historical circumstances. It represents a major contribution to sociology, social theory, political science, philosophy, cultural studies, and history, whilst also resonating with general readers seeking to understand contemporary polarization and the tensions intrinsic to modern life.

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.
