Mercy on Trial: What It Means to Stop an Execution
ISBN: 9780691133997 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On January 11, 2003, Illinois Governor George Ryan--a Republican on record as saying that "some crimes are so horrendous . . . that society has a right to demand the ultimate penalty"--commuted the capital sentences of all 167 prisoners on his state's death row. Critics demonized Ryan. For opponents of capital punishment, however, Ryan became an instant hero whose decision was seen as a signal moment in the "new abolitionist" politics to end killing by the state. In this compelling and timely work, Austin Sarat provides the first book-length work on executive clemency. He turns...

Law Without Nations
ISBN: 9780804771696 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Yet the death penalty remains troubling and controversial for many people. The Killing State: Capital...

Law as Punishment/Law as Regulation
ISBN: 9780804771702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Law depends on various modes of classification. How an act or a person is classified may be crucial in determining the rights obtained, the procedures employed, and what understandings get attached to the act or person. Critiques of law often reveal how arbitrary its classificatory acts are, but no one doubts their power and consequence. This crucial new book considers the problem of law's physical control of persons and the ways in which this control illuminates competing visions of the law: as both a tool of regulation and an instrument of coercion or punishment. It examines various...
