Bienes Comunes (Book In Spanish), Ugo Mattei

Ugo Mattei

En una época regida por la mercantilización de múltiples esferas de la vida, los bienes comunes aparecen como una alternativa tanto a la propiedad privada capitalista como a la propiedad estatal tradicional. A lo largo de estas páginas, se rastrea su dimensión histórica y su irrupción en diferentes luchas y reivindicaciones que han tenido lugar en los últimos años: en defensa del agua, del territorio, de la neutralidad de Internet, contra la precarización laboral o la privatización del conocimiento. Escrito en el ágil estilo del manifiesto, este libro teoriza los bienes comunes no solo en términos jurídicos, sino como una …

Wilhelm Kroll's Preface To Justinian's Novels: An English Translation, Timothy G. Kearley, David J.D. Miller

Timothy G. Kearley

For the legal historian, the Age of Justinian is nothing short of pivotal. Medievalists and early modernists interested in the so-called reception of Roman law in later times and places must look back to Justinian and his law books, as classicists and historians interested in Roman republican or early imperial law must frequently look forward to them.

Justinian’s law books are, of course, the Digest, the Code, the Institutes, and the Novels (Novellae Constitutiones), which have become known collectively as the Corpus Iuris Civilis (CIC).

It soon becomes clear to those interested in the CIC that the standard modern version …

Padilla Postconviction Claims In Florida: Squaring Chaidez, Hernandez And Castaño, Rebecca Sharpless, Andrew Stanton

Rebecca Sharpless

In Padilla v. Kentucky, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Sixth Amendment requires defense attorneys to counsel their noncitizen clients about the immigration consequences of a plea. Padilla had pled guilty in state court to a drug crime and, after his conviction became final, filed a state postconviction motion alleging that his attorney rendered ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to advise him that his plea would trigger deportation. In holding that Padilla was entitled to competent advice regarding the consequences of his plea, the Court recognized what professional norms have required for at least the last two decades. …

Protecting The Commons: Water, Culture, And Nature: The Commons Movement In The Italian Struggle Against Neoliberal Governance, Ugo Mattei

Ugo Mattei

This essay introduces the Italian commons social movement—a diverse coalition of scholars, jurists, politicians, and activists—central to the success of the 2011 water referendum. This essay attempts to provide the context for the struggles to protect commons goods in Italy, as well as the three-part strategy of social movements in deploying traditional political forums and mechanisms, illegal occupation, and contestation in courts of law. Access to common goods such as water, culture, and nature is fundamental to human life, and yet such access continues to be threatened by privatization policies. This essay provides a first-hand account from a scholar, lawyer, …
