Book Synopsis Ubiquitous Law by : Emmanuel Melissaris
Download or read book Ubiquitous Law written by Emmanuel Melissaris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ubiquitous Law explores the possibility of understanding the law in dissociation from the State while, at the same time, establishing the conditions of meaningful communication between various legalities. This book argues that the enquiry into the legal has been biased by the implicit or explicit presupposition of the State's exclusivity to a claim to legality as well as the tendency to make the enquiry into the law the task of experts, who purport to be able to represent the legal community's commitments in an authoritative manner. Very worryingly, the experts' point of view then becomes constitutive of the law and parasitic to and distortive of people's commitments. Ubiquitous Law counter-suggests a new methodology for legal theory, which will not be based on rigid epistemological and normative assumptions but rather on self-reflection and mutual understanding and critique, so as to establish acceptable differences on the basis of a commonality.
Book Synopsis Ubiquitous Entrepreneurship by : Stefan Kalms
Download or read book Ubiquitous Entrepreneurship written by Stefan Kalms and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-11-06 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of this book is to emphasize the impact of ubiquity on scientific entrepreneurship and to promote practical ways to make scientific entrepreneurship ubiquitous within universities in order to create more startups, for economic and societal benefit. The book begins with a look at the state of research on ubiquity in humanities and information technology. First, the ubiquity of God in theology is analyzed, with a focus on the three major religions – Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. Also, ubiquity in the field of law is investigated to examine whether and how ubiquity is described in jurisprudence and in how far it adds to the concept of ubiquity. Second, the field of IT is focused, where ubiquity occurs in the area of ubiquitous computing. The analysis of the state of research in humanities and information technology than allows the identification of certain characteristics of ubiquity. These characteristics are used as determinants to develop a model, consisting of a general ubiquitous entrepreneurship framework and a ubiquitous entrepreneurship board. This model was developed to ensure that each university can use the identified characteristics for ubiquity from theology and IT to individually define itself as an entrepreneurial university, and derive methods and instruments to promote ubiquitous entrepreneurship holistically.

Book Synopsis Research Methods for International Human Rights Law by : Damian Gonzalez-Salzberg
Download or read book Research Methods for International Human Rights Law written by Damian Gonzalez-Salzberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study and teaching of international human rights law is dominated by the doctrinal method. A wealth of alternative approaches exists, but they tend to be discussed in isolation from one another. This collection focuses on cross-theoretical discussion that brings together an array of different analytical methods and theoretical lenses that can be used for conducting research within the field. As such, it provides a coherent, accessible and diverse account of key theories and methods. A distinctive feature of this collection is that it adopts a grounded approach to international human rights law, through demonstrating the application of specific research methods to individual case studies. By applying the approach under discussion to a concrete case it is possible to better appreciate the multiple understandings of international human rights law that are missed when the field is only comprehended though the doctrinal method. Furthermore, since every contribution follows the same uniform structure, this allows for fruitful comparison between different approaches to the study of our discipline.
Book Synopsis The European Union under Transnational Law by : Matej Avbelj
Download or read book The European Union under Transnational Law written by Matej Avbelj and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost a decade the European Union has been stuck in a permanent crisis. Starting with domestic constitutional crises, followed by an imported financial crisis, it has evolved into a fully formed political crisis. This book argues that none of the crises are exclusively internal to the EU and the responses to date, which have taken inward looking approaches, are simply inadequate. Resolution can only come when the EU engages more fully with transnational law. This highly topical book offers an innovative dual focus on both transnational and EU law together. It sets out the relationship between the two frameworks by exploring practical concrete problems that transnational law has posed to the EU. These problems are explored from the perspective of four key tenets of both systems, namely the rule of law, democracy, the protection of human rights, and justice. It does this by advancing the theoretical framework of principled legal pluralism. In so doing it offers clear normative guidance as to how the relationship between EU and transnational law should be developed and fostered.
Book Synopsis Intercultural Spaces of Law by : Mario Ricca
Download or read book Intercultural Spaces of Law written by Mario Ricca and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes an interdisciplinary methodology for developing an intercultural use of law so as to include cultural differences and their protection within legal discourse; this is based on an analysis of the sensory grammar tacitly included in categorizations. This is achieved by combining the theoretical insights provided by legal theory, anthropology and semiotics with a reading of human rights as translational interfaces among the different cultural spaces in which people live. To support this use of human rights’ semantic and normative potential, a specific cultural-geographic view dubbed ‘legal chorology’ is employed. Its primary purpose is to show the extant continuity between categories and spaces of experience, and more specifically between legal meanings and the spatial dimensions of people’s lives. Through the lens of legal chorology and the intercultural, translational use of human rights, the book provides a methodology that shows how to make space and law reciprocally transformative so as to create an inclusive legal grammar that is equidistant from social cultural differences. The analysis includes: a critical view on opportunities for intercultural secularization; the possibility of construing a legal grammar of quotidian life that leads to an inclusive equidistance from differences rather than an unachievable neutrality or an all-encompassing universal legal ontology; an interdisciplinary methodology for legal intercultural translation; a chorological reading of the relationships between human rights protection and lived spaces; and an intercultural and geo-semiotic examination of a series of legal cases and current issues such as indigenous peoples’ rights and the international protection of sacred places.

Book Synopsis Rules for a Flat World by : Gillian K Hadfield
Download or read book Rules for a Flat World written by Gillian K Hadfield and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology and globalization are uprooting and reshaping daily life. Global supply chains are now deeply embedded, and digital platforms connect almost everyone in complex networks of data and exchange. This "flat world" is one of tremendous possibility, but it also poses challenges to stability and shared prosperity. In Rules for a Flat World, Gillian Hadfield argues that the legal rules that currently guide global integration are no longer working. They are too slow, costly, and localized for increasingly complex advanced economies, and fail to address issues such as poverty, instability, and oppression for the billions living in the developing world. Hadfield proposes a new set of rules that enhance complex societies and economic interdependence and makes the case for building a more agile infrastructure. In this paperback edition, she presents a new prologue to her sweeping historical overview and vision of the relationship between law and economic and social prosperity.
Book Synopsis Religion, Law and the Politics of Ethical Diversity by : Claude Proeschel
Download or read book Religion, Law and the Politics of Ethical Diversity written by Claude Proeschel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a multidisciplinary and comparative look at the contemporary phenomenon of conscientious objection or contestation in the name of religion and examines the key issues that emerge in terms of citizenship and democracy. These are analysed by looking at the different ways of challenging or contesting a legal obligation on the grounds of religious beliefs and convictions. The authors focus on the meaning of conscientious objection which asserts the legitimacy of convictions – in particular religious convictions – in determining the personal or collective relevance of the law and of public action. The book begins by examining the main theoretical issues underlying conscientious objection, exploring the implications of the protection of freedom of conscience, the place of religion in the secular public sphere and the recognition and respect of ethical pluralism in society. It then focuses on the question of exemptions and contestations of civil norms, using a multidisciplinary approach to highlight the multiple and diverse issues surrounding them, as well as the motives behind them. This book will be of great interest to scholars, specialists and graduate and advanced undergraduate students who are interested in issues of religious diversity. Researchers and policymakers in think-tanks, NGOs and government units will find the volume useful in identifying key issues in understanding the phenomenon of conscientious objection and its implications in managing ethical diversity in contemporary societies.

Book Synopsis Religion and Legal Pluralism by : Russell Sandberg
Download or read book Religion and Legal Pluralism written by Russell Sandberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there have been a number of concerns about the recognition of religious laws and the existence of religious courts and tribunals. There has also been the growing literature on legal pluralism which seeks to understand how more than one legal system can and should exist within one social space. However, whilst a number of important theoretical works concerning legal pluralism in the context of cultural rights have been published, little has been published specifically on religion. Religion and Legal Pluralism explores the extent to which religious laws are already recognised by the state and the extent to which religious legal systems, such as Sharia law, should be accommodated.
Book Synopsis Byzantine Religious Law in Medieval Italy by : James Morton
Download or read book Byzantine Religious Law in Medieval Italy written by James Morton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Italy was conquered by the Norman Hauteville dynasty in the late eleventh century after over five hundred years of continuous Byzantine rule. At a stroke, the region's Greek Christian inhabitants were cut off from their Orthodox compatriots in Byzantium and became subject to the spiritual and legal jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic popes. Nonetheless, they continued to follow the religious laws of the Byzantine church; out of thirty-six surviving manuscripts of Byzantine canon law produced between the tenth and fourteenth centuries, the majority date to the centuries after the Norman conquest. Byzantine Religious Law in Medieval Italy is a historical study of these manuscripts, exploring how and why the Greek Christians of medieval southern Italy persisted in using them so long after the end of Byzantine rule. The first part of the book provides an overview of the source material and the history of Italo-Greek Christianity. The second part examines the development of Italo-Greek canon law manuscripts from the last century of Byzantine rule to the late twelfth century, arguing that the Normans' opposition to papal authority created a laissez faire atmosphere in which Greek Christians could continue to follow Byzantine religious law unchallenged. Finally, the third part analyses the papacy's successful efforts to assert its jurisdiction over southern Italy in the later Middle Ages. While this brought about the end of Byzantine canon law as an effective legal system in the region, the Italo-Greeks still drew on their legal heritage to explain and justify their distinctive religious rites to their Latin neighbours.

Book Synopsis Constitutional Imaginaries by : Jiří Přibáň
Download or read book Constitutional Imaginaries written by Jiří Přibáň and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a social theoretical analysis of imaginaries as constituent social forces of positive law and politics. Constitutional imaginaries invite constitutional and political theorists, philosophers and sociologists to rethink the concept of constitution as the normative legal limitation and control of political power. They show that political constitutions include societal forces impossible to contain by legal norms and political institutions. The constitution of society as one polity defined by the unity of topos-ethnos-nomos, that is the unity of territory, people and their laws, informed the rise of modern nations and nationalisms as much as constitutional democratic statehood and its liberal and republican regimes. However, the imaginary of polity as one nation living on a given territory under the constitutional rule of law is challenged by the process of European integration and its imaginaries informed by transnational legal and societal pluralism, administrative governance, economic performativity and democratically mobilised polity. This book discusses the sociology of imagined communities and the philosophy of modern social imaginaries in the context of transnational European constitutionalism and its recent theories, most notably the theory of societal constitutions. It offers a new approach to the legal constitutions as societal power formations evolving at national, European and global levels. The book will be of interest to scholars and students interested in constitutional and European law theory and philosophy as much as interdisciplinary and socio-legal studies of transnational law and society.
Book Synopsis The Spirit of Japanese Law by : John Owen Haley
Download or read book The Spirit of Japanese Law written by John Owen Haley and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of Japanese Law focuses on the century following the Meiji Constitution, Japan's initial reception of continental European law. As John Owen Haley traces the features of contemporary Japanese law and its principal actors, distinctive patterns emerge. Of these none is more ubiquitous than what he refers to as the law's "communitarian orientation." While most westerners may view judges as Japanese law's least significant actors, Haley argues that they have the last word because their interpretations of constitution and codes define the authority and powers they and others hold. Based on a "sense of society," the judiciary confirms bonds of village, family, and firm, and "abuse of rights" and "good faith" similarly affirms community. The Spirit of Japanese Law concludes with constitutional cases that help explain the endurance of community in contemporary Japan.
