Targeted Killing: A Legal And Political History, Markus Gunneflo

Markus Gunneflo

Looking beyond the current debate’s preoccupation with the situations of insecurity of the second intifada and 9/11, this book reveals how targeted killing is intimately embedded in both Israeli and US statecraft and in the problematic relation of sovereign authority and lawful violence underpinning the modern state system. The book details the legal and political issues raised in targeted killing as it has emerged in practice including questions of domestic constitutional authority, the norms on the use of force in international law, the law of targeting and human rights. The distinctiveness of Israeli and US targeted killing is accounted for …

Authors, Copyright, And Publishing In The Digital Era, Francina Cantatore

Francina Cantatore

Basic copyright laws and enforcements have been in effect for hundreds of years. However, laws with such extensive histories can often make understanding them complicated. As publishing moves into a digital arena, copyright laws have become increasingly complex.

Authors, Copyright, and Publishing in the Digital Era not only addresses the current complexities that arises with authors and copyright laws when publishing digitally, but it also sheds light on the current processes and procedures in place concerning copyright options for digital publishers. This publication addresses a global audience in the manner in which it discusses traditional methods used in publishing before …

The Life And Times Of Targeted Killing, Markus Gunneflo

Markus Gunneflo

Against the background of the ongoing shift in the perception of the legality and legitimacy of extraterritorial lethal force in counterterrorism, my doctoral thesis analyses the emergence of so-called “targeted killing” in the history of Israel and the US, as well as in international law. It finds that the relationship between targeted killing and law, particularly international law, is not a straightforward case of more or less determinate and legally binding norms being applied to state measures adopted in situations of insecurity (in this case, those of the second Intifada and 9/11) but rather one of a much longer and …

Health Care Reform: Law And Practice, Mary Ann Chirba, Alice Noble, Michael Maddigan

Mary Ann Chirba

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed comprehensive health reform, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and commonly referred to as "Obamacare" or the Affordable Care Act (ACA), into law. With the passage of the ACA, Congress put an end to the century-long quest to secure coverage for all Americans facing steadily rising costs for increasingly sophisticated health care. In closing the book on that struggle, however, the law opened another. Health Care Reform: Law and Practice is designed to assist health care and legal professionals who need to understand what the law says, how it works, and …

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 …

Normative Patterns And Legal Developments In The Social Dimension Of The Eu, Ann Numhauser-Henning, Mia Rönnmar

Ann Numhauser-Henning

This book explores the normative and legal evolution of the Social Dimension of the EU - labour law, social security law and family law - in both the EU and its Member States, during the last decade. It does this from a wide range of theoretical and legal-substantive perspectives. The past decade has witnessed the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty and its emphasis on fundamental rights, a new coordination regulation within the field of social security (Regulation 883/2004/EC), and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the so-called Laval Quartet. Furthermore structural …

Contro Riforme (In Italian), Ugo Mattei

Ugo Mattei

Dalla metá degli anni Ottanta, il concetto di «riformismo», ha conosciuto una nuova primavera anche in Italia. Tutti i politici desiderosi di assumere cariche di governo, dimostrandosi responsabili e affidabili agli occhi della comunitá internazionale, si devono necessariamente dichiarare «riformisti». L'utilizzo del nuovo linguaggio riformista ha accompagnato in Italia il piú imponente processo di dismissione del patrimonio e delle attivitá economiche pubbliche che l'intera Europa, compresa l'Inghilterra thatcheriana, avesse mai conosciuto in un periodo tanto concentrato. Il riformismo è oggi un gigantesco quanto complesso dispositivo di potere autoritario globale, che porta alla massima estensione e concentrazione della proprietá privata a …

The Cambridge Companion To Comparative Law / Edited By Mauro Bussani And Ugo Mattei, Ugo Mattei, Mauro Bussani

Ugo Mattei

We can only claim to understand another legal system when we know the context surrounding the positive law in which lawyers are trained. To avoid ethnocentricity and superficiality, we must go beyond judicial decisions, doctrinal writings and the black-letter law of codes and statutes and probe the 'deeper structures' where law meets cultural, political, socio-economic factors. It is only when we acquire such awareness and knowledge of the critical factors affecting both the backgrounds and implications of rules that it becomes possible to control the present and possibly future developments of the world's legal institutions. This collection of essays aims …

Beni Comuni - Un Manifesto (In Italian), Ugo Mattei

Ugo Mattei

Dalla lotta per l'acqua, l'università e la scuola pubblica a quella per l'informazione critica; dalle battaglie contro il precariato e per un lavoro di qualità a quelle contro lo scempio e il consumo del territorio; dalla lotta contro la privatizzazione della rete internet a quella contro le grandi opere: i beni comuni non sono una merce declinabile in chiave di avere. Sono una pratica politica e culturale che appartiene all'orizzonte dell'esistere insieme. Questo volume, scritto nella forma agile del manifesto, teorizza i beni comuni come riconquista di spazi pubblici democratici, fondati sulla qualità dei rapporti e non sulla quantità dell'accumulo.

Commercial Trusts In European Private Law, Ugo Mattei, Lionel D. Smith, Michele Graziadei

Ugo Mattei

In European legal systems, a variety of approaches to trust and relationships of trust meet the universal professionalisation of asset management services. This book explores that interface in order to seek a better understanding of the legal regulation of the entrustment of wealth. Within the methodology of the Common Core of European Private Law, the book sets out cases on the establishment and termination of management relationships, obligations of loyalty and of professionalism, and the choice of law. More specialized cases address collective investment, collective secured lending, pension funds, and securitisation. Reports on these cases from fifteen jurisdictions of the …
