Autonomy in the Law considers one of the most important benefits of the rule of law. Juxtaposing European and American conceptions of autonomy in the law of families, capital punishment and, criminal trials reveals the common values that justify all legal systems. Law protects the autonomy of individuals and associations by defending the boundaries of their own self-rule. This book illuminates the fundamental purpose of law by examining how European and American lawyers, judges and citizens do and should apply legal autonomy to the practical circumstances of litigation, legislation and the law.

By juxtaposing European and American concepts of autonomy in the law as they are applied to families, capital punishment and criminal trials, authors reveal the common values that justify all legal systems. This book sheds new light on the fundamental purpose of law by examining how European and American lawyers, judges, and citizens actually apply and should apply legal autonomy to litigation, legislation, and the law itself.

The end of the Cold War has allowed for the prospect of a New World Order, in which the United Nations and other 'international actors' may return to their post-war mandate of maintaining international peace and security through collective action. This book addresses the central question of sovereignty under the new regime: which internal actions of states will justify intervention by the international community? The unifying theme of these chapters -- written from a wide variety of national and cultural perspectives -- is the conflict between cultural relativism and human rights in the postmodern world. Eleven authors address these questions to determine the meaning and limits of national self-determination after the fall of communism.
This book is essential reading for all who seek to understand the emerging international system of the twenty-first century.

This book considers the ethical basis of fundamental university policies, with special emphasis on how issues of community and diversity influence education. Students, faculty and administrators must seek to maintain a sense of community as diversity increasingly characterizes university campuses. This raises four central questions which are addressed in this volume: what should the aims of universities be, given their changed demography?; how should university curricula reflect multicultural society; does the new environment require special treatment of campus speech?; and what role should affirmative action play in promoting diversity or community in the academy?

This book considers the ethical basis of fundamental university policies with special emphasis on how issues of community and diversity influence education. Students, faculty and administrators must seek to maintain a sense of community as diversity increasingly characterises university campuses. This raises four central questions which are addressed in this volume: . What should the aims of universities be, given their changed demography? How should university curricula reflect multicultural society? Does the new environment require special treatment of campus speech? What role should affirmative action play in promoting diversity or community in the academy? The shared premise of these essays, presented from a variety of perspectives, is that university administrators, teachers and academic ethicists will all benefit from examining such issues together. The contributors approach academic ethics from very diverse institutional roles and ideological positions, and this provides a broad and provocative basis for classroom and institutional discussion of the aims of the university, the curriculum, campus speech and affirmative action. These essays will help to give pluralism meaning and establish the common purpose and community of good will that make academic discourse possible.
