The Women's Convention and Beyond

Achievements, Setbacks, and Prospects

Anthem Environment and Sustainability Initiative

This textbook is designed to introduce the reader to important and emerging issues in contemporary environmental law, policy, economics, and science. It explains the roles and interactions of Congress, federal agencies, state governments, and the courts in protecting the environment and public health from pollution. Topics include common law; administrative law; the role of environmental impact assessments and endangered species protection; and the principal legislation and court decisions dealing with greenhouse gas emissions, conventional and toxic air pollution, water pollution, the control of toxic chemicals and hazardous waste, pollution prevention and primary accident prevention, and community right-to-know. The text also explores various alternatives to regulation and concludes with a brief treatise on sustainability. 
The evolving role of science and economics in legislative, regulatory, and judicial decision making is explored. The text analyzes pollution as an economic problem and a failure of markets, discusses the role of technological innovation and the concept of "dynamic" economic equilibrium, and evaluates economic incentives as an alternative or supplement to regulation. The book also provides an introduction to basic legal skills: how to read and understand judicial opinions, regulations, and statutes; how to discover the current state of the law in a specific area; and how to take action toward resolution of environmental problems. Throughout, the role of national and local politics in shaping and implementing environmental policy is acknowledged and evaluated.

Reclaiming the Environmental Agenda - Revised Edition

Environmental Law, Policy, and Economics

Studies in International Law

This book argues that the pursuit of universal norms remains a worthwhile endeavour for the international legal discipline. It does this while also engaging with the very active imperialist critique of such norms. The study has 4 aims; firstly to illustrate the role that the idea and debate around norms have in developing international law, and secondly to address the philosophical concerns around identifying such norms. It moves on to explore whether a legal/practical instantiation of the universal can be done without taking a particular position/perspective. And finally, it turns to the impact the universal has on the development of international human rights law. Public international law, human rights and legal philosophy scholars will welcome this original theoretical-philosophical perspective on an enduring debate in the field of international law.

International Law and the Pursuit of Universal Norms

Science fiction has long been fascinated with the potential for sentient, human-like artificial persons. Even before reality meets fantasy, individuals, governments and businesses already entrust AI to make automated decisions with potential for real-life impact. What are the implications for AI legal personhood? This work examines how different legal entities differ in rights and duties and considers historical examples that show how legal personhood status can change over time under economic, social and pragmatic pressures. By abandoning the traditional binary, characteristics-based concept of the legal person for a historical lens, we are left with a more nuanced concept of the legal person against which sentience matters far less than what we might otherwise assume.

Persona Ex Machina: Artificial Intelligence on a Spectrum of Legal Personhood

What impact has Australia had on international law and what is its significance in terms of its participation in the transnational legal system? This collection of essays delves into the history of Australia's interactions with international law and considers how its people have shaped international law. It explores key issues such as the country's imperial and settler past. It assesses how Australians have contributed to key institutions such as the ICJ, the UN and the British Commonwealth. It gives a fascinating insight into international law's impact on a domestic legal system and the complex and multifaceted nature of that relationship. Scholars from across the international spectrum, whether in the field of law, politics or history, will welcome this erudite and engaging work.

Studies in Private International Law - Asia

This book is the only reference in English on private international law in Uzbekistan. Dispelling a common misconception that the law of ex-USSR countries is largely the same, the book provides an authoritative account of private international law in Uzbekistan, as well as the role the country plays in the harmonisation of private international law in the region and beyond. The chapters provide authoritative guidance on conflict-of-law rules, issues of jurisdiction in contractual and non-contractual matters, as well as the practice and procedure of enforcement of foreign judgements and arbitral awards in Uzbekistan. The book is the first that systematically explores private international law in Uzbekistan and is an essential tool in understanding the peculiarities of the country and their impact on legal practice.

Global Energy Law and Policy

This book provides a multi-jurisdictional analysis of the role of law in accelerating the development of floating offshore wind energy. With ongoing technological advancements in the context of the energy transition, floating offshore wind represents a significant advancement in the global transition towards sustainable energy. Debates around the inherent ecological tensions raised by fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines, as well as the value of deeper offshore wind exploration, are considered alongside unanswered questions on the complexity of the marine environment and its governance in relation to the deployment of floating offshore wind energy. Other questions focus on marine spatial planning, licensing and permitting procedures, and the safety of installing and maintaining complex offshore energy infrastructure. Although these issues partially coincide with those related to traditional bottom-fixed installation, the book provides an opportunity to test the extent to which traditional legal and regulatory strategies may or may not be suited to the fast-growing deployment of floating offshore wind energy. Written by experts across multiple jurisdictions where floating projects are being developed, the book unlocks new thinking on regulatory modelling and design at a time when floating wind is expected to resolve the complexity of the Energy Quadrilemma.

Constitutionalism in the 21st Century

This collection brings together revised/updated and new essays on EU citizenship by one of the leading commentators in the field. This important collection argues, in the face of increasing pessimism (not least from other citizenship lawyers), that EU citizenship offers much to admire and celebrate. The author explores the question from three perspectives; firstly looking at the status of citizenship in Europe before moving onto perceived points of issue. Finally the author sets out the added value of citizenship, concluding that despite all the challenges faced, it is well placed to deal with future challenges both in the medium and long term. This is an important statement on the current and future status of a key tenet of European Union law by one of its leading commentators, and will be required reading for all scholars in the field.

Next Generation Water Governance

This book offers a pioneering and deeply insightful examination of one of the most challenging dilemmas in contemporary counterterrorism and international law: how to legally and morally assess the responsibility of female suicide bombers affiliated with terrorist groups such as Boko Haram. It exposes a critical legal blind spot where female bombers are caught in a 'grey zone' - neither fully prosecuted nor released - due to conflicting norms around gender, victimhood and terrorism. Drawing on extensive research including interviews, case studies of failed suicide bombers, and legal analysis of terrorism cases, it develops a novel culpability framework that moves beyond simplistic notions of guilt or innocence. By exploring the complex spectrum of moral and legal responsibility, this framework offers a much-needed tool for policymakers, judges, practitioners, academics and students dealing with terrorism, war crimes and transitional justice. It challenges prevailing gender stereotypes that often either criminalise women excessively or excuse them arbitrarily and instead provides a nuanced approach that recognises female bombers as individuals whose actions range from coerced victimhood to accountable perpetrators. More than a legal study, this book humanises the lived realities of women involved in violent extremism and highlights the urgent need for legal systems worldwide to adapt. It is essential reading for scholars, legal professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in terrorism, gender, human rights and international justice.
