Calling Power to Account: Law, Reparations, and the Chinese Canadian Head Tax
ISBN: 9780802038722 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 450 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Courts today face a range of claims to redress historic injustice, including injustice perpetrated by law. In Canada, descendants of Chinese immigrants recently claimed the return of a head tax levied only on Chinese immigrants.

By placing both the discriminatory law and the judicial decisions in their historical context, some of the essays in this volume illuminate the larger patterns of...

The Unity of Public Law
ISBN: 9781841134345 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book tackles the important topic of the relationship between three parts of the public law regime in a common law jurisdiction: the common law of judicial review or the unwritten constitution, the written constitution and public international law. Thematic coherence is ensured by the fact that the papers were presented at a conference in early 2003 and then extensively revised and by a general focus on a path-breaking decision of Canada's Supreme Court (Baker). The book thus contains a highly productive exchange between an international group of scholars on such themes as the rule of...

The Constitution of Law: Legality in a Time of Emergency
ISBN: 9780521860758 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dyzenhaus deals with the urgent question of how governments should respond to emergencies and terrorism by exploring the idea that there is an unwritten constitution of law, exemplified in the common law constitution of Commonwealth countries. He looks mainly to cases decided in the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada to demonstrate that even in the absence of an entrenched bill of rights, the law provides a moral resource that can inform a rule-of-law project capable of responding to situations which place legal and political order under great stress. Those cases are discussed against a...

Law as Politics: Carl Schmitt's Critique of Liberalism
ISBN: 9780822322443 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While antiliberal legal theorist Carl Schmitt has long been considered by Europeans to be one of this century's most significant political philosophers, recent challenges to the fundamental values of liberal democracies have made Schmitt's writings an unavoidable subject of debate in North America as well. In an effort to advance our understanding not only of Schmitt but of current problems of liberal democracy, David Dyzenhaus presents translations of classic German essays on Schmitt alongside more recent writings by distinguished political theorists and jurists. Neither a defense of nor an...

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), established in South Africa after the collapse of apartheid, was the bold creation of a people committed to the task of rebuilding of a nation and establishing a society founded upon justice, equality and respect for the rule of law.

This book is an account of those hearings, and an attempt to evaluate, in the light of theories of...

Hobbes and the Law
ISBN: 9781107022751 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hobbes's political thought provokes a perennial fascination. It has become particularly prominent in recent years, with the surge of scholarly interest evidenced by a number of monographs in political theory and philosophy. At the same time, there has been a turn in legal scholarship towards political theory in a way that engages recognisably Hobbesian themes, for example the relationship between security and liberty. However, there is surprisingly little engagement with Hobbes's views on legal theory in general and on certain legal topics, despite the fact that Hobbes devoted whole works to...

Law, Liberty and State: Oakeshott, Hayek and Schmitt on the Rule of Law
ISBN: 9781107093386 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Oakeshott, Hayek and Schmitt are associated with a conservative reaction to the 'progressive' forces of the twentieth century. Each was an acute analyst of the juristic form of the modern state and the relationship of that form to the idea of liberty under a system of public, general law. Hayek had the highest regard for Schmitt's understanding of the rule of law state despite Schmitt's hostility to it, and he owed the distinction he drew in his own work between a purpose-governed form of state and a law-governed form to Oakeshott. However, the three have until now rarely been considered...

Hard Cases in Wicked Legal Systems: Pathologies of Legality
ISBN: 9780199532216 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The idea of a wicked legal system, one whose laws have been made the instrument of a repugnant moral ideology, continues to play an important part in philosophical debates about the nature of law and law's claim to moral authority. It seems to offer support for the argument of legal positivists, who insist on a clear conceptual distinction between legal requirements, deriving from social sources, and moral requirements. Does the existence of wicked legal systems present an insurmountable obstacle to critics of positivism who reject the importance of that distinction?

Philosophical Foundations of Constitutional Law
ISBN: 9780198754527 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Constitutional law has been and remains an area of intense philosophical interest, and yet the debate has taken place in a variety of different fields with very little to connect them. In a collection of essays bringing together scholars from several constitutional systems and disciplines, Philosophical Foundations of Constitutional Law unites the debate in a study of the philosophical issues at the very foundations of the idea of a constitution: why one might be necessary; what problems it must address; what problems constitutions usually address; and some of the issues raised by...
