Malta and British Strategic Policy, 1925-43
ISBN: 9780714655451 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) A major reassessment of a key aspect of British strategy and defence policy in the first half of the twentieth century. The main contribution of this new study is an investigation of the role of Malta in British military strategy, as planned and as it actually developed, in the period between the mid 1920s and the end of the war in North Africa in May 1943. It demonstrates that the now widely accepted belief that Malta was 'written off as indefensible' before the war was mistaken, and focuses on Malta's actual wartime role in the Mediterranean war, assessing the numerous advantages,...

Law on the Screen
ISBN: 9780804751629 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The proliferation of images of law, legal processes, and officials on television and in film is a phenomenon of enormous significance. Mass-mediated images are as powerful, pervasive, and important as are other early twenty-first-century social forces--e.g. globalization, neo-colonialism, and human rights--in shaping and transforming legal life. Yet scholars have only recently begun to examine how law works in this new arena and to explore the consequences of the representation of law in the moving image. Law on the Screen advances our understanding of the connection between law and...

Law and the Stranger
ISBN: 9780804771542 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Law calls communities into being and constitutes the "we" it governs. This act of defining produces an outside as well as an inside, a border whose crossing is guarded, maintaining the identity, coherence, and integrity of the space and people within. Those wishing to enter must negotiate a complex terrain of defensive mechanisms, expectations, assumptions, and legal proscriptions. Essentially, law enforces the boundary between inside and outside in both physical and epistemological ways. Law and the Stranger explores the ways law identifies and responds to strangers within and across...

Law and War
ISBN: 9780804787420 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Law and War explores the cultural, historical, spatial, and theoretical dimensions of the relationship between law and war--a connection that has long vexed the jurisprudential imagination. Historically the term "war crime" struck some as redundant and others as oxymoronic: redundant because war itself is criminal; oxymoronic because war submits to no law. More recently, the remarkable trend toward the juridification of warfare has emerged, as law has sought to stretch its dominion over every aspect of the waging of armed struggle. No longer simply a tool for judging battlefield...

Law's Madness
ISBN: 9780472031597 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Law "and madness? Madness, it seems, exists outside the law and, in principle, society struggles to keep these slippery terms separate. From this perspective, madness appears to be law's foil, the chaos that escapes law's control and simultaneously justifies its existence. Law's Madness explores the gray area between the realms of reason and madness.
The distinguished contributors to Law's Madness propose a fascinating interdisciplinary approach to the instability and mutual permeability of law and madness. Their essays examine a variety of discursive forms--from the literary to the... Law "and madness?

Law's Mistakes
ISBN: 9781625341938 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) From false convictions to botched executions, from erroneous admission of evidence in a criminal trial to misunderstandings that arise in the process of creating contracts, law is awash in mistakes. These mistakes can be unintentional deviations from expected practices or the result of intentional actions that produce unintended negative consequences. They may become part of a process of response and correction or be accepted as an inevitable cost of action. Some mistakes are external to law itself, such as errors in an agreement made by two private parties. Others are made by legal actors...

The Place of Law
ISBN: 9780472031580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) It has long been standard practice in legal studies to identify the place of law within the social order. And yet, as The Place of Law suggests, the meaning of the concept of "the place of law" is not self-evident.
This book helps us see how the law defines territory and attempts to keep things in place; it shows how law can be, and is, used to create particular kinds of places -- differentiating, for example, individual property from public land. And it looks at place as a metaphor that organizes the way we see the world. This important new book urges us to ask about the usefulness of...

The Secrets of Law
ISBN: 9780804782593 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Secrets of Law explores the ways law both traffics in and regulates secrecy. Taking a close look at the opacity built into legal and governance processes, it explores the ways law produces zones of secrecy, the relation between secrecy and justice, and how we understand the inscrutability of law's processes. The first half of the work examines the role of secrecy in contemporary political and legal practices--including the question of transparency in democratic processes during the Bush Administration, the principle of public justice in England's response to the war on terror, and...

Law and the Utopian Imagination
ISBN: 9780804790819 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Law and the Utopian Imagination seeks to explore and resuscitate the notion of utopianism within current legal discourse. The idea of utopia has fascinated the imaginations of important thinkers for ages. And yet--who writes seriously on the idea of utopia today? The mid-century critique appears to have carried the day, and a belief in the very possibility of utopian achievements appears to have flagged in the face of a world marked by political instability, social upheaval, and dreary market realities. Instead of mapping out the contours of a familiar terrain, this book seeks to...

Today ownership of weapons poses more acute legal problems than ever before. In this volume, contributors confront urgent questions, among them the usefulness of history as a guide in ongoing struggles over gun regulation, the changing meaning of the Second Amendment, the perspective of law enforcement, and individual perspectives on gun rights.

How Law Knows
ISBN: 9780804755252 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) When citizens think about law's ways of knowing and about how legal officials gather information, assess factual claims, and judge people and situations, they are often confused by the seemingly arcane and constrained quality of the information-gathering, fact-evaluating procedures that legal officials employ or impose. Yet law's ways of knowing as varied as are the institutions and officials who populate any legal system. From the rules of evidence to the technologies of risk management, from the practices of racial profiling to the development of trade knowledge, from the generation of...

Drawing on the rich field of performance studies, this volume, the most recent contribution to the distinguished Amherst Series in Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought, offers fresh insights and a provocative mix of multidisciplinary topics and methodologies to explore the theatricality and performativity of law as more than a metaphor.

The Limits of Law
ISBN: 9780804752350 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This collection brings together well-established scholars to examine the limits of law, a topic that has been of broad interest since the events of 9/11 and the responses of U.S. law and policy to those events. The limiting conditions explored in this volume include marking law's relationship to acts of terror, states of emergency, gestures of surrender, payments of reparations, offers of amnesty, and invocations of retroactivity. These essays explore how law is challenged, frayed, and constituted out of contact with conditions that lie at the farthest reaches of its empirical and normative...
