Interpreting Shadows: Arms Control And Defense Planning In A Rapidly Changing Multi-Polar World, David R. King
Interpreting Shadows: Arms Control And Defense Planning In A Rapidly Changing Multi-Polar World, David R. King
David King
Cold War thinking continues to guide United States' policy in the Post-Cold War environment. Continuing to pursue policies forged during the Cold War will not be adequate to address proliferation for two reasons. First, Cold War policies do not reflect changes in the world in respect to other major or regional powers. Second, current policies overlook potential long-term counterproductive consequences. Adopting an overarching national policy on arms control will require understanding different world views of the United States, other major powers, and regional powers.

Tench Coxe And The Right To Keep And Bear Arms, 1787-1823, David B. Kopel
Tench Coxe And The Right To Keep And Bear Arms, 1787-1823, David B. Kopel
David B Kopel
Tench Coxe, a member of the second rank of this nation's Founders and a leading proponent of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, wrote prolifically about the right to keep and bear arms. In this Article, the authors trace Coxe's story, from his early writings in support of the Constitution, through his years of public service, to his political writings in opposition to the presidential campaigns of John Adams and John Quincy Adams. The authors note that Coxe described the Second Amendment as guaranteeing an individual right, and believed that an individual right to bear arms was necessary for …
All The Way Down The Slippery Slope: Gun Prohibition In England And Some Lessons For Civil Liberties In America, David B. Kopel, Joseph Olson
All The Way Down The Slippery Slope: Gun Prohibition In England And Some Lessons For Civil Liberties In America, David B. Kopel, Joseph Olson
David B Kopel
Whenever civil liberties issues are contested, proponents of greater restrictions often chide civil liberties defenders for being unwilling to offer moderate concessions. Frequently, persons advocating restrictions on civil liberties claim that the "moderate" restriction will not infringe the core civil liberty. When rights advocates raise the "slippery slope" argument, they are criticized for being excessively fearful. The goal of the article is to refine our understanding of "slippery slopes" by examining a case in which a civil liberty really did slide all the way down the slippery slope.

Vier Stellingen Tegen Het Nationalisme, Serge Gutwirth
Vier Stellingen Tegen Het Nationalisme, Serge Gutwirth
Serge Gutwirth
In vier afleveringen van de Juristenkrant heb ik de strijd aangebonden met met het nationalistische gedachtegoed. Telkens heb ik het nationalisme doorgelicht vanuit een ondubbelzinnige kritische stelling. Dit neemt echter niet weg dat de stellingen elkaar aanvullen, versterken en een eenheid vormen. Met de publicatie van deze columns had de redactie geen ander doel dan een open debat aan te zwengelen over een onderwerp dat het nationale en internationale gebeuren scherp tekent. Dat is gelukt, er kwamen zeer veel reacties.

De Gespannen Verhouding Tussen Politiek En Wetenschap, Serge Gutwirth, Koen Raes

Heated debate with dear colleagues about the acceptability of politics of recognition of "alternative" medicine (homeopathy, etc.). Koen Raes and I defend the position that it is not because something is not "scientifically proven" it should not be regulated by government.

Clueless: The Misuse Of Batf Firearms Tracing Data, David B. Kopel
David B Kopel
Sometimes the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms traces the registered sales history of a gun which was used in a crime, or which has been seized by the police. Traced guns are not representative of the broader universe of crime guns. Accordingly, drawing public policy conclusions based on tracing data is unwise.
