Party Autonomy in Private International Law (Paperback): Alex Mills Party Autonomy in Private International Law (Paperback)
Alex Mills
R1,417 Discovery Miles 14 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book provides an unprecedented analysis and appraisal of party autonomy in private international law - the power of private parties to enter into agreements as to the forum in which their disputes will be resolved or the law which governs their legal relationships. It includes a detailed exploration of the historical origins of party autonomy as well as its various theoretical justifications, and an in-depth comparative study of the rules governing party autonomy in the European Union, the United States, common law systems, and in international codifications. It examines both choice of forum and choice of law, including arbitration agreements and choice of non-state law, and both contractual and non-contractual legal relations. This analysis demonstrates that while an apparent consensus around the core principle of party autonomy has emerged, its coherence as a doctrine is open to question as there remains significant variation in practice across its various facets and between legal systems.

The Confluence of Public and Private International Law - Justice, Pluralism and Subsidiarity in the International... The Confluence of Public and Private International Law - Justice, Pluralism and Subsidiarity in the International Constitutional Ordering of Private Law (Paperback)
Alex Mills
R1,348 Discovery Miles 13 480 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A sharp distinction is usually drawn between public international law, concerned with the rights and obligations of states with respect to other states and individuals, and private international law, concerned with issues of jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in international private law disputes before national courts. Through the adoption of an international systemic perspective, Dr Alex Mills challenges this distinction by exploring the ways in which norms of public international law shape and are given effect through private international law. Based on an analysis of the history of private international law, its role in US, EU, Australian and Canadian federal constitutional law, and its relationship with international constitutional law, he rejects its conventional characterisation as purely national law. He argues instead that private international law effects an international ordering of regulatory authority in private law, structured by international principles of justice, pluralism and subsidiarity.

Biology of Sex (Paperback): Alex Mills Biology of Sex (Paperback)
Alex Mills
R1,520 Discovery Miles 15 200 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Biology of Sex is a lively and intellectually challenging textbook. Mills analyzes the biological basis of sex by considering genetic, physiological, and evolutionary principles. In order to explain the biological aspects of human sex, he uses direct and intriguing comparisons with the many variations in sexual systems among non-human organisms. Text boxes provide fascinating examples: non-human species that cannibalize their partners during copulation, organisms that do not fall within one of two biological sexes, and species that "trick" others into raising their young. The author also explores questions such as: "Is sex only for reproduction?", "Why is sex pleasurable?", and "What are the roots of sexual conflict?" Intended primarily for readers without a science background, Biology of Sex provides novel content from the human and non-human worlds to introduce the complex subject of sex and reproduction.
