In this era of globalization, International Law plays a significant
role in facing rapid development of various legal issues. Cultural
preservation has emerged as an important legal issue that should be
considered by States. This book consists of academic papers
presented and discussed during the 9th International Conference of
the Centre of International Law Studies (9th CILS Conference) held
in Malang, Indonesia, 2-3 October 2018. The title of the book
represents the major theme of the conference: "Culture and
International Law." It is argued that along with globalization,
cultural preservation is slowly ignored by States. Various papers
presented in the book cover five topics: cultural heritage;
cultural rights; culture and economic activity; culture and armed
conflict; and a general topic. The authors of the papers are
outstanding academics from various countries, Lithuania, United
States of America, Australia, Thailand and Indonesia. The
conference was organized by Universitas Indonesia in collaboration
with Brawijaya University. This book aims to give a useful
contribution to the existing literature on International Law,
specifically focussing on cultural issues from the perspective of
cultural heritage and rights, economic as well as armed conflict.

A revealing look at the changing role of churches in the decades
after the American Revolution. Most Americans today would not think
of their local church as a site for arbitration and would probably
be hesitant to bring their property disputes, moral failings, or
personal squabbles to their kin and neighbors for judgment. But
from the Revolutionary Era through the mid-nineteenth century, many
Protestants imbued local churches with immense authority. Through
their ritual practice of discipline, churches insisted that
brethren refrain from suing each other before "infidels" at local
courts and claimed jurisdiction over a range of disputes: not only
moral issues such as swearing, drunkenness, and adultery but also
matters more typically considered to be under the purview of common
law and courts of equity, including disputes over trespass, land,
probate, slave warranty, and theft. In Law in American
Meetinghouses, Jeffrey Thomas Perry explores the ways that ordinary
Americans-Black and white, enslaved and free-understood and created
law in their local communities, uncovering a vibrant marketplace of
authority in which church meetinghouses played a central role in
maintaining their neighborhoods' social peace. Churches were once
prominent sites for the creation of local law and in this period
were a primary arena in which civil and religious authority
collided and shaped one another. When church discipline failed, the
wronged parties often pushed back, and their responses highlight
the various forces that ultimately hindered that venue's ability to
effectively arbitrate disputes between members. Relying primarily
on a deep reading of church records and civil case files, Perry
examines how legal transformations, an expanding market economy,
and religious controversy led churchgoers to reimagine their
congregations' authority. By the 1830s, unable to resolve doctrinal
quibbles within the fellowship, church factions turned to state
courts to secure control over their meetinghouses, often demanding
that judges wade into messy ecclesiastical disputes. Tracking
changes in disciplinary rigor in Kentucky Baptist churches from
that state's frontier period through 1845, and looking beyond
statutes and court decrees, Law in American Meetinghouses is a
fresh take on church-state relations. Ultimately, it highlights an
oft-forgotten way that Americans subtly repositioned religious
institutions alongside state authority.
Thirty years have passed since President Nixon's resignation, yet,
the impact of the "Watergate" scandal continues to affect the
institutional power of the American chief executive. Through
documents and analytical essays, this timely collection places the
Watergate crisis in perspective, providing a cogent and balanced
analysis of the development and consequences of an event that has
overshadowed Nixon's legacy and permanently altered the country's
perceptions of politics. Watergate threatened the very
constitutional order of the nation, and continues to this day to
affect the public's attitudes about the presidency, America's
political culture, the mass media's coverage of politics, the
separation of powers, and the investigation of high-level
misconduct in the federal government. Twelve topical essays written
by presidential scholars cover these themes and examine the impact
of the crisis over time. Primary source materials, including
transcripts from oral interviews, Nixon's speeches, letters, the
infamous Watergate tapes, excerpts from testimony and hearings in
Congress, the proposed articles of impeachment, and more are all
put in context with explanatory headnotes. Watergate and the
Resignation of Richard Nixon will explain: How public opinion and
attitudes about politics changed after Watergate How the balance of
power between the three branches of government has been altered by
the crisis How succeeding presidents have been affected by the
legacy of Watergate Why mass media coverage of politics changed
after Watergate What impact the crisis had on America's relations
with the rest of the world.
