Engaging with Foreign Law
Author: Basil S MarkesinisPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 184731497X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
This book presents a developed theory of how national lawyers can approach, understand, and make use of foreign law. Its theme is pursued through a set of detailed essays which look at the courts as well as business practice and, with the help of statistics, demonstrate what type of academic work has any impact on the 'real' world. Engaging with Foreign Law thus aims to carve out a new niche for comparative law in this era of globalisation, and may also be the only book which deals in some depth with both private and public law in countries such as England, Germany, France, South Africa, and the United States.

Author: Vernellia RandallPublisher: Seven Principles Press
ISBN: 0977916006
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
According to Randall, Blacks suffer from the generational effect of a slave health deficit that was not relieved during the reconstruction period (1865-1870), the Jim Crow Era (1870-1965), the Affirmative Action Era (1965-1980), or the Racial Entrenchment Era (1980 to present). Repairing the health of Blacks will require a multi-facet long term legal and financial commitment.
Children’s Bioethics
Author: Maya SabatelloPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047426878
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Only scant attention has been given to the issue of children’s bioethics. Even when such a discourse took place, it hardly touched upon children as social agents. In this novel work, Maya Sabatello looks at the “body politics” of religious and cultural medical practices - from “harmful traditional practices” to genetic engineering. Building on literature from medical anthropology, cultural studies, disability studies, social sciences, and law, she explores the international discourse on children’s bioethics from a previously uncharted child-centered approach. In light of the existing multiculturalism, she contends that in the discourse on children's bioethics, not only must the medical, social and, anthropological nexus of the child be taken into account, but that incorporating identity claims into the legal discourse is also essential for the child’s voice to be heard.
K-12 Education Finance
Author: Anthony RollePublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1135481814
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Education finance researchers tend to organize their thoughts on important issues by considering one of the four foundational perspectives: equity, efficiency, liberty, and adequacy. The six essays presented in this special edition of the Peabody Journal of Education base their work within the context of the four pillars and present new directions for future research. While some of the articles isolate a concept for closer scrutiny, others draw attention to more interactive aspects of the pillars in question. Each article leaves the reader with important information and insightful questions about both the usuage and efficacy of education finance policies.
The Death Penalty and U.S. Diplomacy
Author: Wesley KendallPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442224363
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
This unique book examines how U.S. domestic policy regarding the death penalty has been influenced by international pressures, in particular, by foreign nations and international organizations. International pressure has mounted against America’s use of the death penalty, straining diplomatic ties. U.S. policies that endorse the execution of juveniles, the mentally handicapped, and disadvantaged foreign nationals have been recognized by allied nations and international organizations as human rights abuses and violation of international law. Further, organizations such as the United Nations and Amnesty International have issued scathing reports revealing racial bias and fundamental procedural flaws in almost every phase of the judicial process in capital cases. International pressures directed at governmental entities, in particular specific states such as Texas, can have a profound impact on governmental operational efficiency and public opinion and effectively render capital punishment cost-prohibitive from a public policy standpoint. The Death Penalty and U.S. Diplomacy analyzes the institutional response to specific forms of foreign intervention and influence such as consular intervention, international litigation, and extradition negotiation. This is documented through case studies such as how a judge in Texas v. Green turned to a comparative Delaware case that relied on the Vienna Convention to remove the death penalty as possible punishment, and how Mexico pressured the White House in two separate cases. By demonstrating that foreign actors have done much to constrain the United States to abandon its policies of executing foreigners, as well as its own citizens, the book explores the foreign dimensions of the U.S. death penalty while advancing the debate surrounding the viability of this controversial policy.
