'This collection is a timely survey of the role of constitutional
courts in comparative perspective - it provides an excellent
summary of developments in a range of jurisdictions, and locates
them in a broader social and political context. Among other
factors, it considers global trends toward increasing international
and regional human rights protection, increased recognition of
second and third generation rights, and trends toward
decentralization in democratic governance. It is bound to be of
broad interest to both comparative constitutional lawyers and
scholars.' - Rosalind Dixon, University of New South Wales,
Australia Constitutional review has become an essential feature of
modern liberal democratic constitutionalism. In particular,
constitutional review in the context of rights litigation has
proved to be most challenging for the courts. By offering in-depth
analyses on changes affecting constitutional design and
constitutional adjudication, while also engaging with general
theories of comparative constitutionalism, this book seeks to
provide a heightened understanding of the constitutional and
political responses to the issue of adaptability and endurance of
rights-based constitutional review. These original contributions,
written by an array of distinguished experts and illustrated by the
most up-to-date case law, cover Australia, Belgium, Finland,
France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the
United States, and include constitutional systems that are not
commonly studied in comparative constitutional studies. Providing
structured analyses, the editors combine studies of common law and
civil law jurisdictions, centralized and decentralized systems of
constitutional review, and large and small jurisdictions. This
multi-jurisdictional study will appeal to members of the judiciary,
policy-makers and practitioners looking for valuable insights into
the case law of a range of constitutional and supreme courts in
this rapidly expanding field of constitutional adjudication. It
also serves as an excellent resource for academics, scholars and
advanced students in the fields of law, human rights and political
science. Contributors: J. Bell, E. Carolan, C. Chandrachud, A.

'Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem' is the first in a series of
three books which collectively present the work of the Jerusalem
Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track Two
diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. JOCI's raison
d'etre was to find sustainable governance solutions for the Old
City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable of
the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. 'Track
Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem' includes a series of studies that
place JOCI within its historical setting and explain the
theoretical context of Track Two diplomacy. The book then proceeds
to present the Initiative's culminating documents, which outline in
detail its proposed Special Regime governance model. Until now, the
proposals have remained unpublished and available only to a limited
audience of key stakeholders. Presenting the information in an
accessible format, this book will contribute positively to the
wider conversation on Jerusalem, especially with respect to the
longstanding conflict over control and governance of this holy
city. It will therefore be of value to several audiences, from the
policy-making community to the various traditions found in
academia.
Governance and Security in Jerusalem is the second in a series of
three books which collectively present in detail the work of the
Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track
Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The aim of
the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions for the
Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable
of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. This
book presents a collection of studies commissioned by the
Initiative in aid of its work on the Special Regime. It is split
into three parts, Part I provides background papers on governance
and security issues; Part II presents Palestinian and Israeli
partner perspectives on governance options for a special regime,
and the Part III delivers partner perspectives on security studies
for a special regime. The studies written by the Israeli and
Palestinian partners provide important background and historical
context for JOCI's work on security and governance. The position
papers, presented in their original form, greatly influenced the
development of the Special Regime governance model. Offering a
unique insight on a range of governance and security issues in
Jerusalem, this book will be of great significance to the
policy-making community and students and scholars with an interest
in Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the
Middle East peace process.
The Routledge Companion to Puppetry and Material Performance offers
a wide-ranging perspective on how scholars and artists are
currently re-evaluating the theoretical, historical, and theatrical
significance of performance that embraces the agency of inanimate
objects. This book proposes a collaborative, responsive model for
broader artistic engagement in and with the material world. Its 28
chapters aim to advance the study of the puppet not only as a
theatrical object but also as a vibrant artistic and scholarly
discipline. This Companion looks at puppetry and material
performance from six perspectives: theoretical approaches to the
puppet, perspectives from practitioners, revisiting history,
negotiating tradition, material performances in contemporary
theatre, and hybrid forms. Its wide range of topics, which span 15
countries over five continents, encompasses: * visual dramaturgy *
theatrical juxtapositions of robots and humans * contemporary
transformations of Indonesian wayang kulit * Japanese ritual body
substitutes * recent European productions featuring toys, clay, and
food. The book features newly commissioned essays by leading
scholars such as Matthew Isaac Cohen, Kathy Foley, Jane Marie Law,
Eleanor Margolies, Cody Poulton, and Jane Taylor. It also
celebrates the vital link between puppetry as a discipline and as a
creative practice with chapters by active practitioners, including
Handspring Puppet Company's Basil Jones, Redmoon's Jim Lasko, and
Bread and Puppet's Peter Schumann. Fully illustrated with more than
60 images, this volume comprises the most expansive
English-language collection of international puppetry scholarship
to date.
First published in 1995, Medieval France: An Encyclopedia is the
first single-volume reference work on the history and culture of
medieval France. It covers the political, intellectual, literary,
and musical history of the country from the early fifth to the late
fifteenth century. The shorter entries offer succinct summaries of

significant institutions and important periods or events. The
Encyclopedia is thoroughly cross-referenced and includes a generous
selection of illustrations, maps, charts, and genealogies. It is
especially strong in its coverage of economic issues, women, music,
religion and literature. This comprehensive work of over 2,400
entries will be of key interest to students and scholars, as well
as general readers.

In "American Puppet Modernism," Bell reveals how understanding
puppetry is integral to understanding the nature of the material
world in performance and in turn argues that the material world in
performance is integral as a means of communication. Insightfully
describing and analyzing different types of object performance from
the 1860s to 2007, Bell uses the common focus on material objects
in performance to link the worlds of traditional puppetry,
mechanized image performance, indigenous rituals, avant-garde
theater, political street performance, advertising, Kustom Kulture,
art cars, and film and television. "American Puppet Modernism"
shows how modern American culture has developed and revealed itself
in the performance of objects and" "offers a groundbreaking
contribution to the history of puppet, mask, and object
performance.

Contested Sites in Jerusalem is the third and final volume in a
series of books which collectively present in detail the work of
the Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led
Track Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The
aim of the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions
for the Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and
intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and
Israelis. This book examines the complex and often contentious
issues that arise from the overlapping claims to the Temple
Mount/Haram al-Sharif, the role of UNESCO, and the major
implications of the JOCI Special Regime for such issues as
archaeology, property, and the economy. Part I is dedicated to holy
sites - ground zero of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a point
reinforced by the autumn 2014 disturbances which threatened to
spiral out of control and engulf Palestinians and Israelis in yet
another wave of violence. Parts II-IV of the volume contain studies
on archaeology, property, and economics that were written after the
completion of the Special Regime model, specifically to address in
depth how a Special Regime would deal with each of these three
important areas. Contested Sites in Jerusalem offers an insightful
explanation of the enormous challenges facing any attempt to find
sustainable governance and security arrangements for the Old City
in the context of a peace agreement between the Israelis and the
Palestinians. It will therefore be of immense value to the
policy-making community, as well as anyone in academia with a focus
on Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the
Middle East peace process.
With this volume, Professor John Henneman of the University of Iowa
concludes a decade of research into the development of French royal
finance in the fourteenth century. This book shows how the capture
of King John II in 1356 led to a critical change in the history of
royal taxation.

Not another book about what we already know, but one about what we
overlook. In Ten Things They Never Told Me About Jesus John Bell
explores facets of the personal life, relationships and ministry of
Jesus which are seldom the stuff of preaching or conversation, but
which are all rooted in the Gospels and are necessary if we are to
be freed from the passive stereotypes which still dominate thinking
about Christ. Much of the book is rooted in encounters with people
on the periphery of religious life and in situations where
politeness was not a prerequisite for discussing faith. John Bell
is a member of the Iona Community, an ordained minister and an
occasional broadcaster who lectures and preaches across the globe.

The capture of the French king John II at Poitiers in 1356 marked
the end of royal taxation as a temporary, wartime expedient and its
beginning as an annual assessment. John Henneman's detailed
treatment of war financing in the period immediately preceding,
from 1322 to 1356, is the first volume in a proposed study of royal
finances in France during the fourteenth century. Mr. Henneman has
chosen a chronological approach to his subject in order to show how
the evolving theory and practice of taxation were affected by these
turbulent years of war and negotiation, political faction and
dynastic feuds, social and economic change. Mr. Henneman discusses
the king's requirements for money over and above his normal
revenues, the methods he used to raise the funds, the responses of
his subjects, and the changes these procedures made in the
development of French institutions. His study is based largely on
unpublished sources, especially the manuscripts found in French
provincial archives. As the royal financial records in Paris have
been dispersed or destroyed, these manuscripts arc of particular
importance. Originally published in 1971. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
Despite the growing scholarly interest in comparative public law,
there remain relatively few works on the subject. Contemporary
French Administrative Law aims to redress that imbalance, offering
English-language readers an authoritative introduction to the key
features of French administrative law and its institutions. The
French legal system is among the most well-developed and
influential in the world, and, as procedures continually adapt to
European and international influences, it has never been more
worthy of research, study and interrogation. This book employs a
wide range of recent, illustrative cases to demonstrate how French
administrative law works both in theory and in practice. Using a
systematic approach and covering everything from judicial review to
public contracts, this is a highly valuable text for any student or
researcher with an interest in French law. The book is also
available as Open Access.
