This book addresses how law and public policy cause or exacerbate
vulnerability in individuals and groups. Bringing together
scholars, judges and practitioners, it identifies how individuals
and groups can become vulnerabilised through the operation of law,
and examines how the State can acknowledge and remedy that impact.
The book offers not only a theoretical, ethical and normative
conception of vulnerability in law, but also an evaluation of the
diverse practices of responding to vulnerability in law through
accountability mechanisms and public campaigns. The analysis of
vulnerability contained in this volume is enhanced by the common
use of Ireland as a case study. Despite the robust rights
protections available at national, regional and international
level, Ireland remains a State where at risk people have
experienced vulnerability across a range of thematic areas, such as
criminal law, migration and asylum, historical abuse, LGBTI rights
and austerity. Drawing on comparative analyses and a consideration
of the role of international law in domestic settings, this book
offers a comparison of diverse national and transnational attempts
to ensure State accountability and responsiveness to legally
created vulnerabilities. The book demonstrates lessons learned from
theory and practice regarding how vulnerability can be experienced
by individuals and groups, structured by law and addressed through
legal and political action. This book will be of considerable
interest to socio-legal and "law and society" scholars, as well as
others working in international human rights, jurisprudence,
philosophy, legal theory, political theory, feminist theory, and
ethics.
In considering diffusion from a global perspective, this book
provides timely new insights into its application in a variety of
fields and at many levels of both legal and non-legal orderings.
This collection contributes to the wider theoretical debate
concerning the movement of law and legal norms by engaging with
concrete examples of legal diffusion, in jurisdictions as diverse
as Albania, the Czech Republic, Poland and Kuwait. These examples,
taken together, provide a comprehensive illustration of the
theoretical debates concerning the diffusion of laws and norms in
terms of both process and form. This international,
multi-disciplinary and multi-methodological volume brings together
scholars from law and social science with experience in mixed and
hybrid jurisdictions, and advances the conversation about legal and
normative diffusion across the academy. It represents a robust
challenge to many preconceived ideas about legal movement and, as
such, will be of interest to academics and students working in the
fields of Law, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, Legal
Education and comparative method.

This volume brings together academics and judges to consider ideas
and arguments flowing from the often complex relationships between
law and politics, adjudication and policy-making, and the judicial
and political branches of government. Contributors explore numerous
themes, including the nature and extent of judicial power, the
European Court of Human Rights decision in O'Keeffe v Ireland, the
process of appointing judges and judicial representation, judicial
power and political processes. Contrasting judicial and academic
perspectives are provided on the role of the European Court of
Human Rights and the nature of exhausting domestic remedies,
including a contribution from the late Mr. Justice Adrian Hardiman.
The role of specific judges, social and political disputes and case
law are examined and socio-economic rights, the rule of law and
electoral processes are all addressed. -- .

The Irish Yearbook of International Law supports research into
Ireland's practice in international affairs and foreign policy,
filling a gap in existing legal scholarship and assisting in the
dissemination of Irish policy and practice on matters of
international law. On an annual basis, the Yearbook presents
peer-reviewed academic articles and book reviews on general issues
of international law, as well as topics with significant interest
for an Irish audience. Designated correspondents provide reports on
international law developments in Ireland, Irish practice in
international bodies, and the law of the European Union as relevant
to developments in Ireland. This volume of the Yearbook includes
contributions on international humanitarian law, including
intersections with international human rights law and the law of
state responsibility, the concept of due diligence in international
law, and the exercise of international criminal jurisdiction with
specific reference to Irish law.
In this book, James Gallen provides an in-depth evaluation of the
responses of Western States and churches to their historical abuses
from a transitional justice perspective. Using a comparative lens,
this book examines the application of transitional justice to
address and redress the past in Ireland, Australia, Canada, the
United States and United Kingdom. It evaluates the use of public
inquiries and truth commissions, litigation, reparations,
apologies, and reconciliation in each context to address these
abuses. Significantly, this novel analysis considers how power and
public emotions influence, and often impede, transitional justice's
ability to address historical-structural injustices. In addressing
historical abuses, power fails to be redistributed and national and
religious myths are not reconsidered, leading Gallen to conclude
that the existing transitional justice efforts of states and
churches remain an unrepentant form of justice. This title is also
available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Sexuality Matters brings together scholars from a variety of
epistemological perspectives to explore the multiple ways in which
sexuality does indeed matter in the arena of public education. This
book is arranged into three main thematic areas: Policy and
Activism, Curriculum and Pedagogy, and Identity and Lived
Experiences, each of which explores specific ideas and challenges
found within the corresponding topic. The special features of this
collection include a focus on the implications of sexuality for
educational leadership as well as a multi-perspectival approach to
the exploration of these concerns. This text will prove to be
especially useful both to scholars who prepare future educational
leaders and to practitioners who are seeking ways to deal with the
complex social realities of their communities.
