Moscow Rules

What Drives Russia to Confront the West

From Moscow, the world looks different. It is through understanding how Russia sees the world—and its place in it—that the West can best meet the Russian challenge.Russia and the West are like neighbors who never seem able to understand each other. A major reason, this book argues, is that Western leaders tend to think that Russia should act as a “rational” Western nation—even though Russian leaders for centuries have thought and acted based on their country's much different history and traditions. Russia, through Western eyes, is unpredictable and irrational, when in fact its leaders from the czars to Putin almost always act in their own very predictable and rational ways. For Western leaders to try to engage with Russia without attempting to understand how Russians look at the world is a recipe for repeated disappointment and frequent crises.Keir Giles, a senior expert on Russia at Britain's prestigious Chatham House, describes how Russian leaders have used consistent doctrinal and strategic approaches to the rest of the world. These approaches may seem deeply alien in the West, but understanding them is essential for successful engagement with Moscow. Giles argues that understanding how Moscow's leaders think—not just Vladimir Putin but his predecessors and eventual successors—will help their counterparts in the West develop a less crisis-prone and more productive relationship with Russia.

Åtta morddomar. Plus tjugofem erkännanden som aldrig ledde till åtal. Så såg det ut, fallet Thomas Quick. Tack vare journalisten Hannes Råstams envetna arbete - med tv-dokumentärer och denna bok - blev till slut Sture Bergwall friad från alla morddomar. Fallet Thomas Quick - att skapa en seriemördare beskriver ingående Sveriges värsta rättsskandal och ligger nu också till grund för filmen Quick. För att verkligen på djupet förstå hur journalister, rättsväsende och läkarvetenskapen konspirerade och bedrog sig själva för att skapa ett monster att sätta i bur så är läsningen av den här boken ett måste.

"Sammanfattningsvis och mycket enkelt. En bok som berättar om hur det gick till när poliser, åklagare, advokater och domare - med benägenhet bistånd av diverse läkare, psykologer, en så kallad minnesexpert och alldeles för många journalister och vanliga kulturpersonligheter - förädlade en psykiskt sjuk mytoman till kriminalhistoriens värsta seriemördare . Det är hemskt, det är sant, det är fullkomligt fenomenal läsning." (Ur Leif GW Perssons förord)

Year by year, law seems to penetrate ever larger realms of social, political, and economic life, generating both praise and blame. Nonet and Selznick's Law and Society in Transition explains in accessible language the primary forms of law as a social, political, and normative phenomenon. They illustrate with great clarity the fundamental difference between repressive law, riddled with raw conflict and the accommodation of special interests, and responsive law, the reasoned effort to realize an ideal of polity. To make jurisprudence relevant, legal, political, and social theory must be reintegrated. As a step in this direction, Nonet and Selznick attempt to recast jurisprudential issues in a social science perspective. They construct a valuable framework for analyzing and assessing the worth of alternative modes of legal ordering. The volume's most enduring contribution is the authors' typology-repressive, autonomous, and responsive law. This typology of law is original and especially useful because it incorporates both political and jurisprudential aspects of law and speaks directly to contemporary struggles over the proper place of law in democratic governance. In his new introduction, Robert A. Kagan recasts this classic text for the contemporary world. He sees a world of responsive law in which legal institutions-courts, regulatory agencies, alternative dispute resolution bodies, police departments-are periodically studied and redesigned to improve their ability to fulfill public expectations. Schools, business corporations, and governmental bureaucracies are more fully pervaded by legal values. Law and Society in Transition describes ways in which law changes and develops. It is an inspiring vision of a politically responsive form of governance, of special interest to those in sociology, law, philosophy, and politics.

Shariah is by now a term that most Americans and Europeans recognize, though few really understand what it means. Often portrayed as a medieval system used by religious zealots to oppress women and deny human rights, conservative politicians, media commentators, and hardline televangelists stoke fear by promoting the idea that Muslims want to impose a repressive Shariah rule in America and Europe. Despite the breadth of this propaganda, a majority of Muslims-men and women-support Shariah as a source of law. In fact, for many centuries Shariah has functioned for Muslims as a positive source of guidance, providing a moral compass for individuals and society. This critical new book by John L. Esposito and Natana Delong-Bas aims to serve as a guide for what everybody needs to know in the conversation about Shariah, responding to misunderstandings and distortions, and offering answers to questions about the origin, nature, and content of Shariah.

Åtta morddomar. Plus tjugofem erkännanden som aldrig ledde till åtal. Så såg det ut, fallet Thomas Quick. Och det är väl få som inte minns mediernas bild av Quick, eller ”Sätermannen”. En värre mördare, till och med kannibal, hade aldrig detta lilla land skådat. Våren 2008 reser journalisten Hannes Råstam till Säters sjukhus för sitt första besök hos ”Sveriges värste seriemördare”. Det blir ett omvälvande möte som kom att få oanade konsekvenser för dem båda. Råstam vänder på varje papper i utredningen, granskar förhören och går igenom Sture Bergwalls, som är Thomas Quicks egentliga namn, egna berättelser. Han läser domarna och ser rekonstruktioner på video. Han får också tillgång till mängder av tidigare okänt material – journalerna på Säters sjukhus, polismäns dagböcker och undangömda polisrapporter. Ett tvivel börjar växa fram hos honom. Genom att tålmodigt lägga pussel nystar Hannes Råstam upp berättelsen om hur Sveriges värste seriemördare skapades. Fallet Thomas Quick är en sann thriller om ett märkligt människoöde och ett tragiskt rättsfall. Steg för steg blottläggs hur Thomas Quick förvandlades till seriemördare och hur domstolarna kunde döma honom för åtta mord han inte begått. Samtidigt går de verkliga mördarna fria. Fallet Thomas Quick är en rasande uppgörelse med det svenska rättsväsendet. Förord av Leif Gw Persson och efterord Av Mattias Göransson

Everyday Magicians

Legal Records and Magic Manuscripts from Tudor England

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

Most of the women and men who practiced magic in Tudor England were not hanged or burned as witches, despite being active members of their communities. These everyday magicians responded to common human problems such as the vagaries of money, love, property, and influence, and they were essential to the smooth functioning of English society. This illuminating book tells their stories through the legal texts in which they are named and the magic books that record their practices.In legal terms, their magic fell into the category of sin or petty crime, the sort that appeared in the lower courts and most often in church courts. Despite their relatively lowly status, scripts for the sorts of magic they practiced were recorded in contemporary manuscripts. Juxtaposing and contextualizing the legal and magic manuscript records creates an unusually rich field to explore the social aspects of magic practice. Expertly constructed for both classroom use and independent study, this book presents in modern English the legal documents and magic texts relevant to ordinary forms of magic practiced in Tudor England. These are accompanied by scholarly introductions with original perspectives on the subjects. Topics covered include: the London cunning man Robert Allen; magic to identify thieves; love magic; magic for hunting, fishing and gambling, and magic for healing and protection.

Financial Times Best Books of 2023 in EconomicsThe global battle among the three dominant digital powers—the United States, China, and the European Union—is intensifying. All three regimes are racing to regulate tech companies, with each advancing a competing vision for the digital economy while attempting to expand its sphere of influence in the digital world. In Digital Empires, her provocative follow-up to The Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford explores a rivalry that will shape the world in the decades to come.Across the globe, people dependent on digital technologies have become increasingly alarmed that their rapid adoption and transformation have ushered in an exceedingly concentrated economy where a few powerful companies control vast economic wealth and political power, undermine data privacy, and widen the gap between economic winners and losers. In response, world leaders are variously embracing the idea of reining in the most dominant tech companies. Bradford examines three competing regulatory approaches—the American market-driven model, the Chinese state-driven model, and the European rights-driven regulatory model—and discusses how governments and tech companies navigate the inevitable conflicts that arise when these regulatory approaches collide in the international domain. Which digital empire will prevail in the contest for global influence remains an open question, yet their contrasting strategies are increasingly clear.Digital societies are at an inflection point. In the midst of these unfolding regulatory battles, governments, tech companies, and digital citizens are making important choices that will shape the future ethos of the digital society. Digital Empires lays bare the choices we face as societies and individuals, explains the forces that shape those choices, and illuminates the immense stakes involved for everyone who uses digital technologies.

Prövningstillstånd i hovrätten

AvOlof Hellström,Bob Nilsson Hjorth

Häftad, Svenska, 2020

444 kr

Skickas

Vid överklagande från tingsrätt till hovrätt krävs det för de flesta måltyper prövningstillstånd i hovrätten för att målet ska få en fullständig prövning där. Kravet på prövningstillstånd gäller alla tvistemål och brottmål på bötesnivå. Vidare gäller kravet för domstolsärenden och s.k. Ö-mål, t.ex. överklagade konkursbeslut.

Boken behandlar på ett heltäckande men ändå lättbegripligt och konkret sätt prövningstillstånd i hovrätten. En del i detta är givetvis att beskriva bakgrunden till och syftet med systemet.

Mer centralt är olika frågor som rör handläggningen av prövningstillstånd. Här ryms både sådant som i vilka fall prövningstillstånd krävs som betydelsen av nya omständigheter eller bevis och i vilka fall beslutet i tillståndsfrågan får överklagas. Detta har aktualitet för såväl domare som parter. På samma sätt är det med frågor om innebörden av att prövningstillstånd meddelas, vilket bl.a. leder in på reglerna om partiellt prövningstillstånd.

Stor uppmärksamhet ges de olika dispensgrunderna och den praxis som har vuxit fram kring dem. Boken vänder sig både till den som står inför en faktisk frågeställning om prövningstillstånd i hovrätten och till den som mer allmänt vill orientera sig i ämnet.

`However one defines Man, the same definition applies to us all. This is sufficient proof that there is no essential difference within mankind.' (Laws l.29-30) Cicero's The Republic is an impassioned plea for responsible governement written just before the civil war that ended the Roman Republic in a dialogue following Plato. Drawing on Greek political theory, the work embodies the mature reflections of a Roman ex-consul on the nature of political organization, on justice in society, and on the qualities needed in a statesman. Its sequel, The Laws, expounds the influential doctrine of Natural Law, which applies to all mankind, and sets out an ideal code for a reformed Roman Republic, already half in the realm of utopia. This is the first complete English translation of both works for over sixty years and features a lucid Introduction, a Table of Dates, notes on the Roman constitution, and an Index of Names. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

This new edition of "The Social Organization of Law" uses the five-part organization of the first edition - social stratification, social morphology, culture, organization, and other social control - in presenting a brand new set of readings. These readings represent the great variety of work done in the sociology of law, a field dedicated to the study of the influence of social factors on legal behavior pioneered by Donald Black. Some of the readings look at the operation of the justice systems, others at various stages of the legal process. Only two had appeared in print when the first edition of "The Sociology of Law" was published, and neither was included in it. This second edition, published 25 years after the first, thus testifies to the recently created wealth of ideas while introducing a new generation to the concepts that have already proved so fruitful. It presents all new essays while retaining the organizational structure of the first edition. It illustrates new advances in jurisprudential, moral, and practical applications of legal sociology; covers the contemporary U.S. as well as other countries and historical periods; and, embraces a wide variety of research methods and strategies.

Peaceful Resolution of Disputes

PDF, Engelska, 2019

Läs direkt efter köp

There are twenty-nine Islamic law states (ILS) in the world today, and their Muslim population is over 900 million. Muslims in these countries--and, to some extent, all Muslims--are ethically, morally, doctrinally, or politically committed to the Islamic legal tradition, a unique logic and culture of justice based on nonconfrontational dispute resolution. In Islamic Law and International Law, Emilia Justyna Powell examines the differences and similarities between the Islamic legal tradition and international law, focusing in particular on the issue of conflict management and resolution.In many Islamic Law States, Islamic law displaces secular law in state governance and shapes these countries'' international dealings. Powell considers why some of Islamic Law States accept international courts while others avoid them, stressing throughout that we cannot make blanket claims about such states. Each relationship is context-specific, hinging on the nature of the domestic legal system. Moreover, not all of these states are Islamic to the same degree or in the same way. Secular law and religious law fuse in different ways in different domestic legal systems.Often, the Islamic legal tradition points in one direction, while the Western-based, secularized international law points in another. However, Powell argues that Islamic legal tradition contains elements that are compatible with modern international law. She marshals original data on the legal systems structures in thirty Islamic Law States over the entire course of the post-World War Two era, and she draws from in-depth interviews with Islamic law scholars and leading practitioners of international law, including judges of the International Court of Justice. Rich in empirical evidence, this book will reshape how we think about the relationship between ILS and the international system. The book has been reviewed in more than 25 outlets, including 16 countries, to extensive praise.

There are twenty-nine Islamic law states (ILS) in the world today, and their Muslim population is over 900 million. Muslims in these countries--and, to some extent, all Muslims--are ethically, morally, doctrinally, or politically committed to the Islamic legal tradition, a unique logic and culture of justice based on nonconfrontational dispute resolution. In Islamic Law and International Law, Emilia Justyna Powell examines the differences and similarities between the Islamic legal tradition and international law, focusing in particular on the issue of conflict management and resolution.In many Islamic Law States, Islamic law displaces secular law in state governance and shapes these countries'' international dealings. Powell considers why some of Islamic Law States accept international courts while others avoid them, stressing throughout that we cannot make blanket claims about such states. Each relationship is context-specific, hinging on the nature of the domestic legal system. Moreover, not all of these states are Islamic to the same degree or in the same way. Secular law and religious law fuse in different ways in different domestic legal systems.Often, the Islamic legal tradition points in one direction, while the Western-based, secularized international law points in another. However, Powell argues that Islamic legal tradition contains elements that are compatible with modern international law. She marshals original data on the legal systems structures in thirty Islamic Law States over the entire course of the post-World War Two era, and she draws from in-depth interviews with Islamic law scholars and leading practitioners of international law, including judges of the International Court of Justice. Rich in empirical evidence, this book will reshape how we think about the relationship between ILS and the international system. The book has been reviewed in more than 25 outlets, including 16 countries, to extensive praise.

The volumes consider five different theories, which help to explain the origins of judicial review, and identify which theories apply best in the various countries discussed. They consider not only what gives rise to judicial review originally, but also what causes of judicial review lead it to become more powerful and prominent over time. Volume Two discusses the G-20 civil law countries.
