What is the reality of what it is to participate in associations, such as sports clubs, charities, trade unions, or political parties? This book explores the complexities surrounding the right of association from a legal and philosophical perspective.Legal chapters explore how the right is protected in jurisdictions as diverse as Chile, Germany, Indonesia, Kenya, Slovenia, Türkiye and the United Kingdom, alongside thematic chapters on judicial review, associational schism and the lived experience of associational participation. Philosophical chapters employ social ontology to illuminate the nature of group interaction and the reality of associational life.Offering the first interdisciplinary examination of freedom of association, this collection contributes significantly to our understanding of this fundamental right.

In the aftermath of the last financial crisis, on both sides of the Atlantic banking supervisors were given new supervisory and enforcement powers, which are often of a substantially punitive-criminal nature.  In Europe in particular, the establishment of the Single Supervisory Mechanism within the European Central Bank substantially increased centralised investigatory and sanctioning powers. This major innovation, together with the development of forms of real-time monitoring of banking (often digital) records, challenges traditional banking criminal investigations in their national-based and analogue dimension.The book offers a comprehensive account and perspective analysis of the interactions between the criminal and administrative nature of such new powers, highlighting their “punitive” overall nature and their impact on fundamental rights. Covering both the US and the EU regulatory frameworks, it  presents unprecedented, trans-systemic research between criminal law and procedure, and between regulatory and administrative law, at the international, European and national level.The book also includes a rich and detailed selection of case law from the US and the European supreme courts, with a specific focus on CJEU and ECtHR decisions.

The volume presents an innovative analysis of defence rights in EU criminal proceedings through the lens of a computational approach to the law.This multi-level research tackles both EU law and national legislation, as well as case-law on defence rights in criminal proceedings.The comparative analysis on procedural safeguards is integrated by legal informatics, that led to the translation into computable language of the relevant EU and national legislation.Such multidisciplinary approach allows, through a semiautomated technology, to better highlight potentially uncovered deficit of the normative texts, and to enhance comparative analysis of legal systems. The breakthrough perspective brings a novel viewpoint to the debate on criminal procedure rights, shading light on the potential emerging from the interaction between criminal law and technology.
