Law Without Nations
ISBN: 9780804771696 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The possibility of law in the absence of a nation would seem to strip law from its source of meaning and value. At the same time, law divorced from nations would clear the ground for a cosmopolitan vision in which the prejudices or idiosyncrasies of distinctive national traditions would give way to more universalist groundings for law. These alternately dystopian and utopian viewpoints inspire this original collection of essays on law without nations. This book examines the ways in which the growing internationalization of law affects domestic national law, the relationship between...

Recent controversies surrounding the war on terror and American intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought rule of law rhetoric to a fevered pitch.

While some worry that without legal consequences there will be no effective deterrence for the repetition of future transgressions of justice committed at the highest levels of...

From Lynch Mobs to the Killing State: Race and the Death Penalty in America
ISBN: 9780814740224 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since 1976, over forty percent of prisoners executed in American jails have been African American or Hispanic. This trend shows little evidence of diminishing, and follows a larger pattern of the violent criminalization of African American populations that has marked the country's history of punishment. In a bold attempt to tackle the looming question of how and why the connection between race and the death penalty has been so strong throughout American history, Ogletree and Sarat headline an interdisciplinary cast of experts in reflecting on this disturbing issue. Insightful... Since 1976, over forty percent of prisoners executed in American jails have been African American or Hispanic. This trend shows little evidence of ... |

Law, Violence, and the Possibility of Justice
ISBN: 9780691048451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Law punishes violence, yet law depends on violence. In this book, a group of leading interdisciplinary legal scholars seeks to map the inexorable but unstable relationship of law to violence. What does it mean to talk about the violence of law? Do high incarceration rates and increased reliance on capital punishment indicate that U.S. law is growing more violent at a time when violence is being restrained in other legal systems? How is the violence of law represented in popular culture and does this affect law's actual legitimacy? Does violence express or distort the essence of law? Does...
