At the conclusion of WWII, no part of the world experienced a more
dramatic transformation than East Asia. The region's political
stability throughout the postwar period prompted exponential
economic growth that ultimately established South Korea, Japan, and
China as East Asia's most important powers. While many citizens of
these nations now live in a time of unprecedented prosperity, the
arrangement that supported this region's transformation is fragile.
With the second largest economy and a burgeoning military sector,
China is widely acknowledged as the preeminent rising world power.
The onus of maintaining balance in the region now rests primarily
with South Korea and Japan in partnership with the United States.
However, because of long-standing weaknesses in South Korea–Japan
relations and an inconsistent US commitment to the region, the
possibility that China could usher in a more uncertain era of
revisionism has never been more likely. In Strengthening South
Korea-Japan Relations: East Asia's International Order and a Rising
China, Dennis Patterson and Jangsup Choi address the historical
roots of this weak alliance. Combining decades of research with
current public opinion data, the authors warn that the tendency of
these nations to rely on the United States to maintain the status
quo has become dangerously unstable. A new strategy, one of
cooperation and collaboration, is needed to prevent China from
upending the region's current liberal international order.

This volume details how the diplomatic successes of South Korean
presidents removed the country from the international isolation it
experienced in the aftermath of the Korean War and also provided
the necessary international connections for the expansions of
international trade it experienced. Patterson and Choi explain how
diplomacy then was the primary process that allowed for the
successful implementation of South Korea's export-led economic
development strategy which in turn led to the rapid growth that
allowed it to eventually the internationally influential actor it
is today
In this important collection of papers, Dennis Patterson continues
to show the importance of Wittgenstein's thought for problems in
legal theory. Ranging across issues in the philosophy of mind to
questions of meaning and normativity, this collection of papers is
essential reading for anyone with an interest in legal theory.
Wittgenstein is described in the Oxford Companion to Philosophy as
'the leading analytical philosopher of the twentieth century, whose
two major works altered the course of the subject'. This
exceptional reference volume highlights and explores the extensive
influence of Wittgenstein's work on contemporary legal philosophy.

As neuroscientific technologies continue to develop and inform our
understanding of the mind, the opportunities for applying
neuroscience in legal proceedings have also increased. Cognitive
neuroscientists have deepened our understanding of the complex
relationship between the mind and the brain by using new techniques
such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and
electroencephalography (EEG). The inferences drawn from these
findings and increasingly sophisticated technologies are being
applied to debates and processes in the legal field, from lie
detection in criminal trials to critical legal doctrines
surrounding the insanity defense or guilt adjudication. In Minds,
Brains, and Law: The Conceptual Foundations of Law and
Neuroscience, Michael S. Pardo and Dennis Patterson assess the
philosophical questions that arise when neuroscientific research
and technology are applied in the legal system. They examine the
arguments favoring the increased use of neuroscience in law, the
means for assessing its reliability in legal proceedings, and the
integration of neuroscientific research into substantive legal
doctrines. The authors use their explorations to inform a
corrective inquiry into the mistaken inferences and conceptual
errors that arise from mismatched concepts, such as the mental
disconnect of what constitutes "lying" on a lie detection test. The
empirical, practical, ethical, and conceptual issues that Pardo and
Patterson seek to redress will deeply influence how we negotiate
and implement the fruits of neuroscience in law and policy in the
future.
This landmark publication offers a unique comparative and
interdisciplinary study of criminal insanity and neuroscience.
Criminal law theories and ideologies which underpin the regulation
of criminal insanity have always been the subject of controversy.
The history of criminal insanity is characterised by conceptual and
empirical tension between two disciplinary realms: the law and the
mind sciences. The authors in this anthology explore in depth the
state of the art of legal insanity and the numerous intricate,
fascinating, pioneering and sophisticated questions raised by the
integration of different criminal law and behaviour theories,
diverse disciplines and methodologies, in a genuinely
interdisciplinary perspective. This volume will serve as a
practical guide for the comparative legal scholar and the judge, as
well as stimulating scholarly reading for the neuroscientist, the
social scientist and the philosopher with interdisciplinary
scientific interests.
It's Mysteriously revealed to Daniel Patton, a young Mississippi
baseball talent, that he's been chosen for an astonishing purpose.
Meanwhile, Daniel's mother struggles to come to terms with the
tragic murder of her police officer husband. Having been convicted
of the violent crime, Eugene Thompson's life sentence takes on new
meaning through the bold ministry of a prison chaplain. Eugene, the
changed man, now spends his time in a dangerous Arizona prison
facility waging a spiritual warfare on behalf of those who despise
him. After a series of seemingly bazaar coincidences, Daniel and
his mother eventually realize their recent personal blessings have
a spiritual link to the man who killed their loved one. But there's
one ultimate test that must be successfully withstood before 'the
purpose' can be accomplished, and the obstacle that must be
defeated is a matter of life and death. ...As Eugene prays--The
Mississippi Wind Blows.
The international institutions that have governed global trade
since the end of World War II have lost their effectiveness, and
global trade governance is fractured. The need for new institutions
is obvious, and yet, few proposals seem to be on offer. The key to
understanding the global trading order lies in uncovering the
relationship between trade and the State, and how the inner
constitution of Statecraft drives the architecture of the global
order and requires structural changes as the State traverses
successive cycles. The current trade order, focused on the
liberalization of trade in goods and services and the management of
related issues, is predicated on policies and practices that were
the product of a global trading order of the 20th-century modern
nation-states. Today, a new form of the State - the post-modern
State - is evolving. In this book, the authors propose a new trade
norm - the enablement of global economic opportunity - and a new
institution - the Trade Council - to overhaul the global trading
order.

The intersection between law and neuroscience has been a focus of
intense research for the past decade, as an unprecedented amount of
attention has been triggered by the increased use of
neuroscientific evidence in courts. While the majority of this
attention is currently devoted to criminal law, including capital
cases, the wide-ranging proposals for how neuroscience may inform
issues of law and public policy extend to virtually every
substantive area in law. Bringing together the latest work from
leading scholars in the field, this volume examines the
philosophical issues that inform this emerging and vibrant subfield
of law. From discussions featuring the philosophy of the mind to
neuroscience-based lie detection, each chapter addresses
foundational questions that arise in the application of
neuroscientific technology in the legal sphere.
In The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Intellectual Property,
prominent intellectual property scholar Daniel Hunter provides a
precise, engaging overview and careful analysis of current laws of
intellectual property and their history. Hunter first focuses on
the central areas of intellectual property law, including
copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secrets. He then moves
beyond the basics, exploring the politics, economics, psychology
and rhetoric of possession and control that influence and interact
with this area of law. Hunter explains how intellectual property
has contributed greatly to the innovations that we, as a society,
need in our modern lives. He also describes ways in which the
expansion of intellectual property can reduce innovation by
stopping others from implementing great ideas or producing new
work. Hunter helps readers think about modern intellectual property
in a way that allows them to see how innovation and progress are
linked to intellectual property law, and how small changes in the
laws have had significant consequences for our society. Ultimately,
Hunter helps readers form their own views about the various areas
within the arena of intellectual property.

Taking up a single question--"What does it mean to say a
proposition of law is true?"--this book advances a major new
account of truth in law. Drawing upon the later philosophy of
Wittgenstein, as well as more recent postmodern theory of the
relationship between language, meaning, and the world, Patterson
examines leading contemporary jurisprudential approaches to this
question and finds them flawed in similar and previously unnoticed
ways. He offers a powerful alternative account of legal
justification, one in which linguistic practice--the use of forms
of legal argument--holds the key to legal meaning.
In this cutting edge volume. Dennis Patterson has put together a
collection of essays on the topic of law and justice in postmodern
society. While trying to avoid a singular point of view for this
compilation, Patterson has carefully chosen articles which
highlight common themes, problems, and questions.
Cognitive neuroscientists have deepened our understanding of the
complex relationship between mind and brain and complicated the
relationship between mental attributes and law. New arguments and
conclusions based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),
electroencephalography (EEG), and other increasingly sophisticated
technologies are being applied to debates and processes in the
legal field, from lie detection to legal doctrine surrounding
criminal law, including the insanity defense to legal theory. In
Minds, Brains, and Law, Michael S. Pardo and Dennis Patterson
analyze questions that lie at the core of implementing
neuroscientific research and technology within the legal system.
They examine the arguments favoring increased use of neuroscience
in law, the scientific evidence available for the reliability of
neuroscientific evidence in legal proceedings, and the integration
of neuroscientific research into substantive legal doctrines. The
authors also explore the basic philosophical questions that lie at
the intersection of law, mind, and neuroscience. In doing so, they
argue that mistaken inferences and conceptual errors arise from
mismatched concepts, such as the disconnect between lying and what
constitutes "lying" in many neuroscientific studies. The empirical,
practical, ethical, and conceptual issues that Pardo and Patterson
seek to redress will deeply influence how we negotiate and
implement the fruits of neuroscience in law and policy in the
future. This paperback edition contain a new Preface covering
developments in this subject since the hardcover edition published
in 2013.

questions of meaning and normativity, this collection of papers is
essential reading for anyone with an interest in legal theory.
Addressing both public and private law, this book shows how the philosophy of law is related to concrete and actual legal practice. Part One consists of readings from philosophers representing eight influential types of jurisprudence: natural law theory, positivism, constructivism, consequentialism, critical legal studies, feminist theory, practice theory, and 'new' natural law theory. In Part Two the auhtors present a variety of cases that allow students to apply the theories of Part One to the actual practice of law.
Patterson applies the modern debate between Realism and Anti-realism to the question of the nature of law. Starting from the question "what is legal knowledge?" he examines the answers provided by the principal contemporary theories of jurisprudence, concluding that they are all inextricably bound up with the nature of justification. He concludes with a novel account of legal knowledge as pragmatism.
