Europe has reached a crisis point, with the call for
self-determination and more autonomy stronger than it ever has
been. In this book, renowned international lawyers give a detailed
account of the present state of international law regarding
self-determination and autonomy. Autonomy and Self-Determination
offers readers both an overview of the status quo of legal
discussions on the topic and an identification of the most
important elements of discussion that could direct future legal
developments in this field. This is done through the examination of
key issues in abstract and in relation to specific cases such as
Catalonia, Italy and Scotland. The book extends past a simple
assessment of issues of autonomy and self-determination according
to a traditional legal viewpoint, and rather argues that utopian
international law ideas are the breeding ground for norms and legal
institutions of the future. This insightful book will be an
invaluable read for international lawyers and political science
scholars. It provides a clear, yet detailed, analysis of the issues
Europe is facing regarding autonomy and self-determination in the
face of historical context, also making it a useful tool for
European history scholars. Contributors include: X. Arzoz, A.
Beausejour, P. Hilpold, H. Hofmeister, E. Lopez-Jacoiste, R.
Mullerson, S. Oeter, B. Olmos, B. Roth, M. Suksi, A. Tancredi, D.

This book explains how the People of Puerto Rico managed to adopt a
constitution whose content and process were both original and
colonialist, participatory and undemocratic, as well as progressive
and anticlimactic. It looks in detail at the rich contradictions of
the Puerto Rican constitutional experience, focusing on the history
and content of the 1952 Constitution. This constitution is the only
constitutional document written by the Puerto Rican People
themselves after more than 500 years of Spanish and US colonialism.
By exploring Puerto Rico's unique history and constitutional
experience the book shines a spotlight on key emerging themes of
comparative constitutional studies in this area: state
constitutionalism, the persistence of colonial relationships in the
Caribbean, and the continued development of constitutionalism in
Latin America. The book delves deep into the particular experience
of Puerto Rican constitutionalism which combines elements of
colonialism, democratic tensions, and progressive policies. It
explains how these features converge in a constitutional project
that has endured for 70 years and continues its contradictory
development. It considers issues such as the island's colonial
history, including its conflicting relationship with democratic
values and the constant presence of social movements and their
struggles. It also explores the content of the 1952 Constitution,
focusing on its progressive substantive policy, particularly its
rights provisions, its amendment procedures, and the governmental
structure it set up.

"How civil liberties triumphed over national insecurity"
Between the two major red scares of the twentieth century, a
police raid on a Communist Party bookstore in Oklahoma City marked
an important lesson in the history of American freedom.
In a raid on the Progressive Bookstore in 1940, local officials
seized thousands of books and pamphlets and arrested twenty
customers and proprietors. All were detained incommunicado and many
were held for months on unreasonably high bail. Four were tried for
violating Oklahoma's "criminal syndicalism" law, and their
convictions and ten-year sentences caused a nationwide furor. After
protests from labor unions, churches, publishers, academics,
librarians, the American Civil Liberties Union, members of the
literary world, and prominent individuals ranging from Woody
Guthrie to Eleanor Roosevelt, the convictions were overturned on
appeal.
Shirley A. Wiegand and Wayne A. Wiegand share the compelling
story of this important case for the first time. They reveal how
state power--with support from local media and businesses--was used
to trample individuals' civil rights during an era in which
citizens were gripped by fear of foreign subversion.
Richly detailed and colorfully told, "Books on Trial "is a
sobering story of innocent people swept up in the hysteria of their
times. It marks a fascinating and unnerving chapter in the history
of Oklahoma and of the First Amendment. In today's climate of
shadowy foreign threats--also full of unease about the way
government curtails freedom in the name of protecting its
citizens--the past speaks to the present.

What private law avenues are open to victims of human rights
violations? This innovative new collection explores this question
across sixteen jurisdictions in the Global South and Global North.
It examines existing mechanisms in domestic law for bringing civil
claims in relation to the involvement of states, corporations and
individuals in specific categories of human rights violation: (i)
assault or unlawful arrest and detention of persons; (ii)
environmental harm; and (iii) harmful or unfair labour conditions.
Taking a truly global perspective, it assesses the question in
jurisdictions as diverse as Kenya, Switzerland, the US and the
Philippines. A much needed and important new statement on how to
respond to human rights violations.
Constitutionalism in the Americas unites the work of leading
scholars of constitutional law, comparative law and Latin American
and U.S. constitutional law to provide a critical and provocative
look at the state of constitutional law across the Americas today.
The diverse chapters employ a variety of methodologies ? empirical,
historical, philosophical and textual analysis ? in the effort to
provide a comprehensive look at a generation of constitutional
change across two continents. The authors document surprising
changes, including the relative decline in the importance of U.S.
constitutional jurisprudence outside U.S. borders and the growing
exchange of Latin American constitutional thought with Europe and
beyond. Accompanying commentary elaborates on the role of
constitutional law in global changes in political, social and
economic power and influence. The chapters also prompt thinking
about a wide range of topics important not just in the Americas,
but across the world, including the challenges and implications of
using legal transplants and, conversely, the utility and potential
of borrowing and adapting constitutional and other legal models to
different realities. This book is useful not only for advanced
students of constitutional law and theory but also for students new
to the area and eager to tap into the newest thinking about
constitutional law and law-making in the Americas and elsewhere.
