Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law

Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law

The innovative and revolutionary scholarship of the eminent Austrian legal theorist and professor of Roman law Eugen Ehrlich (1862-1922) is of a very high caliber. His work has not only held its place well in view of what legal theory especially sociological legal theory has to offer but is also still a powerful challenge to positions in legal theory that are no longer defensible. The sociology of law has followed in a direct line of succession from Ehrlich's observations and ideas as a new and special discipline linking jurisprudence with sociology. | Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law

Fundamental Principles of International Relations

Fundamental Principles of International Relations

This book distills the essential elements of world politics both the enduring characteristics as well as the revolutionary changes that may be altering the very fabric of the centuries-old state system. Author J. Martin Rochester explores all the important topics that one would expect to find in an IR text (war diplomacy foreign policy international law and organization the international economy and more) but injects fresh perspectives on how globalization and other contemporary trends are affecting these issues. In addition the author does so through a highly engaging lively writing style that will appeal to today's students. Fundamental Principles of International Relations is a tightly woven treatment of international politics past and present drawing on the latest academic scholarship while avoiding excessive jargon and utilizing pedagogical aids while avoiding clutter. Rochester ultimately challenges the reader to think critically about the future of a post-Cold War and post-9/11 world that is arguably more complex if not more dangerous than some previous eras with the potential for promise as well as peril.

Political Economy of the Tokyo Olympics Unrestrained Capital and Development without Sustainable Principles

Political Economy of the Tokyo Olympics Unrestrained Capital and Development without Sustainable Principles

This book is an analysis of both contemporary Tokyo and the contemporary Olympic Games emphasizing the role of late-stage capitalism and political economy in shaping both. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games were mired in scandal from the beginning of the bidding process all the way through to the end of the games.

Popular Government in the United States Foundations and Principles

Popular Government in the United States Foundations and Principles

Political theory consists in clarification of language and concepts in description and analysis of institutions and behavior and in appraisal and evaluation of political events. Hyneman's theory is not one of the behavioral or functional varieties that rely on special language and concepts drawn from other disciplines than political science. It emphasizes a central concern of both conventional and behavioral theory: the distribution of power or what proportion of people have influence over what aspects of government. He is also interested in how power is shared divided checked and balanced. The main task of political theory Hyneman thinks is clarification of the values served by and sustaining American democracy. This task gives meaning and direction to analysis of the elements of democracy and to empirical research on the processes of democracy. In this sense political science is not value-free; it is most useful in pursuit of the implications of basic beliefs and ideals. These beliefs and ideals can be found in historical statements as well as inferred from institutions and behavior. Hyneman's emphasis on popular control electoral politics and equality of influence tends to challenge both of the pluralist and ruling elite schools-though it should be clear that he is not engaged in a scholastic debate. The freedom of his analysis ranging from specific reference to the professional controversies of his day is one of its strengths and a probable source of originality. He connects it explicitly to the literature of political science at critical points as it existed when originally published in 1968. | Popular Government in the United States Foundations and Principles

Decolonizing the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South Applying Principles of Critical Applied Linguistics to Process

Decolonizing the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South Applying Principles of Critical Applied Linguistics to Process

This book reconceives the internationalization of higher education from the perspective of Global South researchers empowering and giving visibility to this discourse. Challenging the first assumptions of internationalization of higher education (IHE) as something overwhelmingly positive due to the way it directly impacts the university activities and their world rankings it instead takes a critical perspective acknowledging that this process is associated with a neoliberal and colonial orientation that focuses on the maintenance of historically sustained hierarchy oppressive relations that stimulate the production of knowledge and education as a commodity and not as a factor of social transformation. As such it challenges recent trends toward an increase in internationalization strategies within higher education that privilege Global North outgoing mobilities and research collaborations to sustain the position of the educational institutions in the international rankings. From this locus IHE is seen not only to evolve in the fields of teaching research and service of an educational institution but also to boost the world’s social development. The book thus illustrates how IHE should be guided by Critical Applied Linguistics (CAL) and Global South’s principles: applied linguistics praxis critical thinking micro and macro relations critical social inquiry critical theory problematizing givens self-reflexivity preferred futures and heterosis. Comprising chapters that discuss academic political and administrative issues arising specifically from the internationalization process of Global South higher education institutions as well as themes such as critical language education and language policies it will appeal to faculty researchers and scholars with interests in higher education international and comparative education and the decolonization of education. | Decolonizing the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Global South Applying Principles of Critical Applied Linguistics to Process

Law Legislation and Liberty A New Statement of the Liberal Principles of Justice and Political Economy

Law Legislation and Liberty A New Statement of the Liberal Principles of Justice and Political Economy

A new edition of F. A. Hayek’s three-part opus Law Legislation and Liberty collated in a single volume In this critical entry in the Collected Works of F. A. Hayek series political philosopher Jeremy Shearmur collates Hayek’s three-part study of law and liberty and places Hayek’s writings in careful historical context. Incisive and unrestrained Law Legislation and Liberty is Hayek at his late-life best making it essential reading for understanding the philosopher’s politics and worldview. These three volumes constitute a scaling up of the framework offered in Hayek’s famed The Road to Serfdom. Volume 1 Rules and Order espouses the virtues of classical liberalism; Volume 2 The Mirage of Social Justice examines the societal forces that undermine liberalism and with it liberalism’s capacity to induce spontaneous order; and Volume 3 The Political Order of a Free People proposes alternatives and interventions against emerging anti-liberal movements including a rule of law that resides in stasis with personal freedom. Shearmur’s treatment of this challenging work—including an immersive new introduction a conversion of Hayek’s copious endnotes to footnotes corrections to Hayek’s references and quotations and the provision of translations to material that Hayek cited only in languages other than English—lends it new importance and accessibility. Rendered anew for the next generations of scholars this revision of Hayek’s Law Legislation and Liberty is sure to become the standard. | Law Legislation and Liberty A New Statement of the Liberal Principles of Justice and Political Economy

National Courts and the Application of EU Law Lessons from Poland

National Courts and the Application of EU Law Lessons from Poland

This book presents the case law of Polish courts namely the Supreme Court administrative courts and the Constitutional Tribunal in which the principles of EU law have been successfully applied. It discusses how Polish courts apply principles of consistent interpretation primacy and direct effect of EU law in their daily adjudicating practice in order to ensure effet utile of EU law resulting in effective protection of individuals' rights derived from the EU legal order. The book explores the legal nature of these principles and in particular the requirement that national rules that are found to be incompatible with legally binding and enforceable EU law should be disapplied by the domestic courts. It explains Polish courts’ reasoning concerning the inseparable relationship between the principle of primacy of EU law and the remedy of disapplication of national law. As the guidelines provided for the national courts by the Court of Justice of the European Union are often quite vague the work will be important and useful for academics and practitioners from different European jurisdictions to observe the manner in which these principles of EU law are applied in jurisdictions other than their own. | National Courts and the Application of EU Law Lessons from Poland
