Vulnerability: Reflections on a New Ethical Foundation for Law and Politics
ISBN: 9781472421630 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Martha Albertson Fineman s earlier work developed a theory of inevitable and derivative dependencies as a way of problematizing the core assumptions underlying the autonomous subject of liberal law and politics in the context of US equality discourse. Her vulnerability thesis represents the evolution of that earlier work and situates human vulnerability as a critical heuristic for exploring alternative legal and political foundations. This book draws together major British and American scholars who present different perspectives on the concept of vulnerability and Fineman's vulnerability...

How The Law Fails Us: The People That We Rely On For Our Protection Can Be The Biggest Offenders Of It
ISBN: 9781500233891 / Angielski / Miękka / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the more interesting aspects of law and justice that I have observed on the legal landscape is that the fox is in charge of the chicken coop. The preponderance of lawyers in government results in laws that suit lawyers and the judges (who are also lawyers) who rule on laws. Curiously, while they occasionally may be involved with prosecuting conflict of interest cases, they don't seem to be aware of their own conflicted system. Or is it that they don't care? Some try to justify the preponderance of lawyers in Congress as appropriate since these are people who are making laws. Using that...

Regulatory Transformations: Rethinking Economy-Society Interactions
ISBN: 9781849463447 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The issue of whether transnational risk can be regulated through a social sphere goes to the heart of what John Ruggie has described as 'embedded liberalism' - how capitalist countries have reconciled markets with the social community that markets require to survive and thrive. This collection - located in the wider debates about global capitalism and its regulation - tackles the challenge of finding a way forward for regulation, rejecting the old division of regulation into 'economic' and 'social, ' as if the two were conceptually and empirically distinct. Instead, the book engages with a...

Martin Luther King Jr. and the Morality of Legal Practice: Lessons in Love and Justice
ISBN: 9781107429161 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book seeks to reframe our understanding of the lawyer's work by exploring how Martin Luther King, Jr built his advocacy on a coherent set of moral claims regarding the demands of love and justice in light of human nature. King never shirked from staking out challenging claims of moral truth, even while remaining open to working with those who rejected those truths. His example should inspire the legal profession as a reminder that truth-telling, even in a society that often appears morally balkanized, has the capacity to move hearts and minds. At the same time, his example should give...

The remaining chapters consider Hart's views on the...
