Paradoxes of European Legal Integration (Paperback): Anne Lise Kjaer Paradoxes of European Legal Integration (Paperback)
Anne Lise Kjaer; Edited by Hanne Petersen; Mikael Rask Madsen
R1,608 Discovery Miles 16 080 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Focusing on paradoxes and tensions of European legal integration, this book investigates four complex and inherently contradictory processes - constitutionalization and democratization, institution-building and market-making, cross-cultural communication and European discourse, and cultural exceptionalism and normalization - to offer a new framework for understanding contemporary European integration. The volume features contributions from some of the biggest names in European legal philosophy, to include Neil MacCormick, Yves Dezalay and Bryant Garth, Pierre Legrand, Heikki Mattila and David Nelken. It presents a timely, interdisciplinary approach to an important and topical area and will be of interest to those concerned with the place of socio-legal processes, language and culture in the continuous advancement of the EU project.

Love and Law in Europe (Paperback): Hanne Petersen Love and Law in Europe (Paperback)
Hanne Petersen
R1,071 Discovery Miles 10 710 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

First published in 1998, this volume aims to draw attention to an ongoing shift in the perception of law, which is now increasingly understood as a cultural and historical phenomenon. As other such phenomena - like music, literature, or art - it is acknowledged that it is created in a specific environment, on which it is dependent for its functioning and interpretation. The historical aspects of love in a European and Nordic context are underlined, as well as the modern understanding of love and law as incompatible and contrasting concepts. Developments within the European Union and especially the relation of the EU to so called third country nationals and immigrants demonstrate that the problematic concerning law and love is not only one of legal philosophy but also of legal and everyday reality. The claim that love has been specifically 'European' is discarded as Eurocentrist, and the need for more particular emotions and a more pragmatic approach to romantic feelings, for a 'reasonable love' is discussed from legal, feminist and philosophical perspectives.

The Role of Customary Law in Sustainable Development (Paperback): Peter Orebech, Fred Bosselman, Jes Bjarup, David Callies,... The Role of Customary Law in Sustainable Development (Paperback)
Peter Orebech, Fred Bosselman, Jes Bjarup, David Callies, Martin Chanock, …
R1,809 Discovery Miles 18 090 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

For many nations, a key challenge is how to achieve sustainable development without a return to centralized planning. Using case studies from Greenland, Hawaii and northern Norway, this 2006 book examines whether 'bottom-up' systems such as customary law can play a critical role in achieving viable systems for managing natural resources. Customary law consists of underlying social norms that may become the acknowledged law of the land. The key to determining whether a custom constitutes customary law is whether the public acts as if the observance of the custom is legally obligated. While the use of customary law does not always produce sustainability, the study of customary methods of resource management can produce valuable insights into methods of managing resources in a sustainable way.

Transnational Solidarity - Concept, Challenges and Opportunities (Hardcover): Helle Krunke, Hanne Petersen, Ian Manners Transnational Solidarity - Concept, Challenges and Opportunities (Hardcover)
Helle Krunke, Hanne Petersen, Ian Manners
R3,597 Discovery Miles 35 970 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The book analyses the concept and conditions of transnational solidarity, its challenges and opportunities, drawing on diverse disciplines as Law, Political Science, Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology and History. In the contemporary world, we see two major opposing trends. The first involves nationalistic and populistic movements. Transnational solidarity has been under pressure for a decade because of, among others, global economic and migration crises, leading to populistic and authoritarian leadership in some European countries, the United States and Brazil. Countries withdraw from international commitments on climate, trade and refugees and the European Union struggles with Brexit. The second trend, partly a reaction to the first, is a strengthened transnational grass-root community - a cosmopolitan movement - which protests primarily against climate change. Based on interdisciplinary reflections on the concept of transnational solidarity, its challenges and opportunities are analysed, drawing on Europe as a focal case study for a broader, global perspective.
