This book analyzes the interactions of international criminal
tribunals established since the 1990s with international, national
and regional bodies, making recommendations for the International
Criminal Court (ICC) as it goes forward. Placing the core issues
within the statutory framework of the Rome Statute and major policy
considerations, the authors examine ways in which the ICC can best
coordinate with other accountability mechanisms on national and
regional prosecutions, the UN Security Council, cooperation on the
enforcement of arrest warrants, national non-judicial processes and
amicus briefs from non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This
timely evaluation of the experiences of the ad hoc international
criminal tribunals spotlights the legal, political and coordination
issues that will likely impact the ICC's current mandate to
adjudicate core international crimes. It explores how governments,
inter-governmental bodies and global civil society might best
collaborate to strengthen national capacity to investigate and
prosecute atrocity crimes in pursuit of global justice. The book
also considers the challenge of state cooperation with
international criminal tribunals, identifying lessons for the ICC,
while emphasizing the need for positive complementarity between the
emerging African Criminal Court and the ICC. Lawyers, judges, NGOs,
government officials, academics, and policy makers at all levels
will value this book as an important resource on transitional
justice and the place of justice in the aftermath of conflict and
mass atrocity.
This book provides a much-needed introduction to the Kyoto School
of Japanese philosophy. Robert E. Carter focuses on four
influential Japanese philosophers: the three most important members
of the Kyoto School (Nishida Kitar, Tanabe Hajime, and Nishitani
Keiji), and a fourth (Watsuji Tetsur ), who was, at most, an
associate member of the school. Each of these thinkers wrestled
systematically with the Eastern idea of nothingness, albeit from
very different perspectives.
Many Western scholars, students, and serious general readers are
intrigued by this school of thought, which reflects Japan s
engagement with the West. A number of works by various thinkers
associated with the Kyoto School are now available in English, but
these works are often difficult to grasp for those not already
well-versed in the philosophical and historical context. Carter s
book provides an accessible yet substantive introduction to the
school and offers an East-West dialogue that enriches our
understanding of Japanese thought while also shedding light on our
own assumptions, habits of thought, and prejudices."

Ruth E. Carter is a living legend of costume design. For three
decades, she has shaped the story of the Black experience on screen
- from the eighties streetwear of DO THE RIGHT THING to the royal
regalia of COMING 2 AMERICA. Her work on Marvel's BLACK PANTHER not
only brought Afrofuturism to the mainstream, but also made her the
first Black winner of an Oscar in costume design. In 2021, she
became the second-ever costume designer to receive a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame. In this definitive book, Carter shares her
origins - recalling a trip to the sporting goods store with Spike
Lee to outfit the SCHOOL DAZE cast and a transformative moment
stepping inside history on the set of Steven Spielberg's AMISTAD.
She recounts anecdotes from dressing the greats: Eddie Murphy,
Samuel L. Jackson, Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Chadwick Boseman,
and many more. She describes the passion for history that inspired
her period pieces - from MALCOLM X to WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT
- and her journey into Afrofuturism. Carter's wisdom and stories
are paired with deluxe visuals, including sketches, mood boards,
and film stills. Stunning photography by Awol Erizku reveals the
beautiful details of Carter's most iconic creations. Fans will even
get a glimpse behind the scenes of the highly anticipated BLACK
PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER. At its core, Carter's oeuvre celebrates
Black heroes and sheroes, whether civil rights leaders or Wakandan
warriors. She has brought the past to life and helped us imagine a
brighter future. This book is sure to inspire the next generation
of artists and storytellers.
Watsuji Tetsuro's Rinrigaku (literally, the principles that allow
us to live in friendly community) has been regarded as the
definitive study of Japanese ethics for half a century. In Japan,
ethics is the study of human being or ningen. As an ethical being,
one negates individuality by abandoning one's independence from
others. This selflessness is the true meaning of goodness.
International Criminal Procedure, edited by two insiders to
international criminal proceedings, Professor Linda Carter and
Professor Fausto Pocar, a judge at the ICTY and a former President
of this Tribunal, is a coherently organized, well-researched, very
informative and not the least elegantly-written contribution to a
young and rapidly developing legal sub-discipline. The book
provides its reader with a highly accessible and up-to date
introduction into key elements of international criminal procedure
as well as with critical commentary and rich inspiration for
improvements of current practices.' - Claus Kress LL.M. (Cantab.),
University of Cologne, Germany and Institute for International
Peace and Security Law'This book addresses compelling issues that
have come before international criminal tribunals. They include the
self-representation of accused persons, plea bargaining and victim
participation. It usefully approaches all of the issues and
problems from a comparative law perspective. This excellent and
accessible work is essential reading for practitioners, faculty and
students of international criminal law.' - Richard Goldstone,
Retired Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa and for
Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for the
former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda The emergence of international
criminal courts, beginning with the International Criminal Tribunal
for the former Yugoslavia and including the International Criminal
Court, has also brought an evolving international criminal
procedure. In this book, the authors examine selected issues that
reflect a blending of, or choice between, civil law and common law
models of procedure. The topics include background on civil law and
common law legal systems; plea bargaining; witness proofing;
written and oral evidence; self-representation and the use of
assigned, standby, and amicus counsel; the role of victims; and the
right to appeal. International Criminal Procedure will appeal to
academics, students, researchers, lawyers and judges working in the
field of international criminal law. Contributors include: G.

This collection presents twenty-seven new essays in Japanese
aesthetics by leading experts in the field. Beginning with an
extended foreword by the renowned scholar and artist Stephen Addiss
and a comprehensive introduction that surveys the history of
Japanese aesthetics and the ways in which it is similar to and
different from Western aesthetics, this groundbreaking work brings
together a large variety of disciplinary perspectives-including
philosophy, literature, and cultural politics-to shed light on the
artistic and aesthetic traditions of Japan and the central themes
in Japanese art and aesthetics. Contributors explore topics from
the philosophical groundings for Japanese aesthetics and the
Japanese aesthetics of imperfection and insufficiency to the
Japanese love of and respect for nature and the paradoxical ability
of Japanese art and culture to absorb enormous amounts of foreign
influence and yet maintain its own unique identity. New Essays in
Japanese Aesthetics will appeal not only to a wide range of
humanities scholars but also to graduate and undergraduate students
of Japanese aesthetics, art, philosophy, literature, culture, and
civilization. Masterfully articulating the contributors'
Japanese-aesthetical concerns and their application to Japanese
arts (including literature, theater, film, drawing, painting,
calligraphy, ceramics, crafts, music, fashion, comics, cooking,
packaging, gardening, landscape architecture, flower arrangement,
the martial arts, and the tea ceremony), these engaging and
penetrating essays will also appeal to nonacademic professionals
and general audiences. This seminal work will be essential reading
for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of Japanese
aesthetics.

This title provides an introduction to issues arising in
international and transnational crimes, giving students a broader
perspective on a developing area of the law. The book also provides
faculty and students with material from domestic and international
sources. It builds on a number of subjects treated in the
traditional criminal law class, such as mens rea, actus reus,
accomplice and conspiratorial liability, and defenses, by analyzing
three subjects of current interest: transnational crimes,
terrorism, and genocide.
Since Ronald Reagan left office in 1989, the global community has
witnessed the collapse of the Soviet Union and the integration of
Europe, the War on Terror and the Arab Spring, a hot Chinese
economy and a major international recession. Reagan's Legacy in a
World Transformed brings together scholars from diverse disciplines
and persuasions to assess the fortieth president's policies and
their ongoing impact today, and to offer a timely retrospective on
his complex legacy. The authors consider the influence of Reagan's
free-market ideas on economic globalization, showing how
deregulation succeeded in spurring economic expansion. In foreign
policy, Reagan favored significant increases in military spending
("peace through strength") and an assertive agenda abroad. His
break with detente in dealing with the Soviet Union, notably
expressed in his 1982 March of Freedom speech, effectively restored
the early Cold War strategy of rolling back communism. More than
twenty years later, President George W. Bush invoked this speech in
describing his goals in the Middle East-a striking example of how
Reagan's ideas affected the post-9/11 world. In contrast with his
hawkish stance on defense, Reagan's efforts to reduce nuclear
arsenals, negotiated with Mikhail Gorbachev, constitute one of his
enduring contributions to stability. Although Reagan's policies
soared on rhetoric rooted in ideological conviction, the president
engaged in pragmatic internationalism when a multilateral approach
served America's interests. He believed that America had a special
mission as a moral leader and beacon of freedom, a view that
continues to inform U.S. foreign policy.

Ministerial Ethics provides both new and experienced pastors with
tools for sharpening their personal and professional
decision-making skills. The authors seek to explain the unique
moral role of the minister and the ethical responsibilities of the
vocation and to provide "a clear statement of the ethical
obligations contemporary clergy should assume in their personal and
professional lives." Trull and Carter deal with such areas as
family life, confidentiality, truth-telling, political involvement,
working with committees, and relating to other church staff
members.
First published in 1993, this edition has been thoroughly updated
throughout and contains expanded sections on theological
foundations, the role of character, confidentiality, and the timely
topic of clergy sexual abuse. Appendices describing various
denominational ministerial codes of ethics are included.

Starting with an illuminating historical survey, Mr. Carter devotes
the main portion of his hook to the position of the British Prime
Minister since 1894, with emphasis on the realities of British
politics today. The relations of the Prime Minister with the
public, his party, the Cabinet, and Parliament are discussed, and
the problem of public relations generally is fully taken into
account. Professor Carter fills an important gap, and provides an
authoritative and readable commentary on British political life.
