ISBN: 9780195143775 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This illuminating work on one of today's most provocative issues provides all the necessary information for careful, critical thinking about the concept of sexual harassment. Consisting mainly of two parts, it first traces the construction of the concept of sexual harassment from the original public uses of the term to its definitions in the law, in legal cases, and in empirical research. It then analyzes philosophical definitions of sexual harassment and a number of issues that have arisen in the law, including the reasonable woman standard and whether same-sex harassment should be...

Unfinished Business: Racial Equality in American History
ISBN: 9780195304282 / Angielski / Twarda / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Michael J. Klarman, author of From Jim Crow to Civil Rights, which won the prestigious Bancroft Prize in American History, is one of the leading authorities on the history of civil rights law in the United States. In Unfinished Business, he illuminates the course of racial equality in America, revealing that we have made less progress than we like to think.

A monumental investigation of the Supreme Court's rulings on race, From Jim Crow To Civil Rights spells out in compelling detail the political and social context within which the Supreme Court Justices operate and the consequences of their decisions for American race relations. In a highly provocative interpretation of the decision's connection to the civil rights movement, Klarman argues that Brown was more important for mobilizing southern white opposition to racial change than for encouraging direct-action protest. Brown unquestioningly had a significant...

A Theory of Constitutional Rights
ISBN: 9780198258216 / Angielski / Twarda / 700 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In any country where there is a Bill of Rights, constitutional rights reasoning is an important part of the legal process. As more and more countries adopt Human Rights legislation and accede to international human rights agreements, and as the European Union introduces its own Bill of Rights, judges struggle to implement these rights consistently and sometimes the reasoning behind them is lost. Examining the practice in other jurisdictions can be a valuable guide. Robert Alexy's classic work reconstructs the reasoning behind the jurisprudence of the German Basic Law and in doing so provides...

Childbirth and the Law examines aspects of English, United States, Canadian, and Australian law as it applies to the fetus, the pregnant woman, and the doctor or midwife who provides antenatal and perinatal care. A major part of the book consists of a critical examination of the law's attempts to protect the fetus, which is threatened by conduct such as a criminal assault, maternal drug-taking or parental refusal of medical treatment. The remainder of the work deals with the rapidly expanding and increasingly complex body of law on the liability of obstetricians, general practitioners, and...

Pluralism, Justice, and Equality
ISBN: 9780198279372 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The essays in this book by a group of leading political theorists assess and develop the central ideas of Michael Walzer's path-breaking Spheres of Justice. Is social justice a radically plural notion, with its principles determined by the different social goods that men and women allocate to one another? Is it possible to prevent the unequal distribution of money and power from distorting the allocation of other goods? If different goods are distributed by different mechanisms, what (if any) kind of social equality is possible? Are there universal principles of jusstice which apply...

Defamation and Freedom of Speech
ISBN: 9780199204922 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The law of defamation contemplates the clash of two fundamental rights; the right to freedom of expression, including freedom of the media, and the right to reputation. The rules of defamation law are designed to mediate between these two rights. Defamation and Freedom of Speech argues that fundamental rules and procedures of defamation law need to be reformed to take into account the dual importance of public interest speech, on the one hand, and the right to human dignity on the other. In particular, the presumptions that defamatory allegations are false and have caused damage, the...

Judicial Review and the Rights of Private Parties in EU Law
ISBN: 9780199206865 / Angielski / Miękka / 443 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. This book details the rights of private parties to enforce principles of EU law, both before the national courts and the European courts of First Instance and Justice in Luxembourg. These originally amounted to two distinct bodies of case law. However, particularly since the advent of Member State liability in damages, there have been increasing trends toward convergence in relevant principles in private party EU litigation; whether the defendant is a Member State government authority or an EU institution. On the other hand, emphasis on 'individual rights' continues to be greater in cases...

The development of international standards for the protection of minorities has been slow and fragmented. In the absence of a comprehensive and universal binding set of rules, the development of minority protection has been left to regional agreements and judicial interpretation of wider human rights treaties.

The commentary is arranged around ten thematic areas of investigation, including... The development of international standards for the protection of minorities has been slow and fragmented. In the absence of a comprehensive and univer...

How far should their spending power be affected by social policy? Arguments against the practice are often made by economists - on the grounds of inefficiency - and lawyers - on the grounds of free competition and international economic law.Buying Social Justice analyzes how governments in developed and developing countries use their contracting power in order to advance social equality and reduce discrimination, and argues that this approach is an entirely legitimate and efficient means of achieving...

The book is concerned with the legal framework for protecting and promoting social rights in Europe.

The Constitutional Underclass: Gays, Lesbians, and the Failure of Class-Based Equal Protection
ISBN: 9780226288604 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. When the Supreme Court struck down Colorado's Amendment 2 which would have nullified all state and local laws protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination it was widely regarded as a victory for gay rights. Yet many gays and lesbians still risk losing their jobs, custody of their children, and even their liberty under the law. Using the Colorado initiative as his focus, Gerstmann untangles the complex standards and subtle rhetoric the Supreme Court uses to apply the equal protection clause.
The Court divides people into legal classes that receive varying levels of protection; gays and... When the Supreme Court struck down Colorado's Amendment 2 which would have nullified all state and local laws protecting gays and lesbians from discri...

ISBN: 9780226451015 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The gay rights question is whether the second-class legal status of gay people should be changed. In this book Andrew Koppelman shows the powerful legal and moral case for gay equality, but argues that courts cannot and should not impose it.
"The Gay Rights Question in Contemporary American Law" offers an unusually nuanced analysis of the most pressing gay rights issues. Does antigay discrimination violate the Constitution? Is there any sound moral objection to homosexual conduct? Are such objections the moral and constitutional equivalent of racism? Must state laws recognizing same-sex...

Enduring Legacies: Native American Treaties and Contemporary Controversies
ISBN: 9780313321047 / Angielski / Twarda / 365 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Treaties are so fundamental to the lives of Native Americans and their nations in the United States and Canada that life without them would be difficult to imagine. Most contemporary issues, from land claims to resource ownership to gambling permits, are rooted in laws that derive much of their sustenance from such documents. Treaties are, therefore, vibrant documents that define important issues in our time. This book is an attempt to maintain a "national conversation" on the treaty basis of important contemporary laws and issues. While the texts of such treaties have long been available,...
