Unchecked Power?: How Recent Constitutional Reforms Are Threatening UK Democracy
ISBN: 9781529233001 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Is the government really acting for the people? Or does this rhetoric simply justify an executive power-grab? For some, Boris Johnson’s premiership epitomised how far the UK’s democracy has been captured by populism and the Prime Minister seemed more concerned about fulfilling the wishes of the British people than with following the rules or listening to Parliament. Events like ‘Partygate’ grabbed the headlines. Criticisms of Boris Johnson’s actions eventually led to his resignation and replacement as leader of his party and Prime Minister. Some feel that this shows that the UK’s...

Street Art, Public City: Law, Crime and the Urban Imagination
ISBN: 9780415729253 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is street art? Who is the street artist? Why is street art a crime? Since the late 1990s, a distinctive cultural practice has emerged in many cities: street art, involving the placement of uncommissioned artworks in public places. Sometimes regarded as a variant of graffiti, sometimes called a new art movement, its practitioners engage in illicit activities while at the same time the resulting artworks can command high prices at auction and have become collectable aesthetic commodities. Such paradoxical responses show that street art challenges conventional understandings of culture,...

Parliamentary Sovereignty and the Human Rights ACT
ISBN: 9781841138305 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Human Rights Act 1998 is criticised for providing a weak protection of human rights. The principle of parliamentary legislative supremacy prevents entrenchment, meaning that courts cannot overturn legislation passed after the Act that contradicts Convention rights. This book investigates this assumption, arguing that the principle of parliamentary legislative supremacy is sufficiently flexible to enable a stronger protection of human rights, which can replicate the effect of entrenchment. Nevertheless, it is argued that the current protection should not be strengthened. If correctly...

Democratic Dialogue and the Constitution
ISBN: 9780198783749 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Constitutions divide into those that provide for a constitutionally protected set of rights, where courts can strike down legislation, and those where rights are protected predominantly by parliament, where courts can interpret legislation to protect rights, but cannot strike down legislation.
The UK's Human Rights Act 1998 is regarded as an example of a commonwealth model of rights protections. It is justified as a new form of protection of rights which promotes dialogue between the legislature and the courts - dialogue being seen not just as a better means of protecting rights, but as a...

The Foundations and Future of Public Law: Essays in Honour of Paul Craig
ISBN: 9780198845249 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Public law in the UK and EU has undergone seismic changes over the last forty years: development and membership of the EU, the Human Rights Act, devolution, the fostering of public law expertise within the judiciary, the globalization of public law, and the increased interaction between the academy, judiciary, barristers, public interest groups, and legislatures have transformed the public law landscape. Commentators spend much time at the frontiers of the subject, responding rapidly to new developments and providing guidance to scholars, legislators, and judges for future directions. In...
