Trial preparation is a process that often commences immediately
after the close of pleadings. It involves what may be categorised
as: external procedural steps directed at the opposing litigant or
third parties, such as requesting further particulars and replying
to requests, making discovery and subpoenaing witnesses; internal
acts of preparation, such as identifying the issues in a matter,
determining the witnesses required to be called, preparing to lead
and cross-examine witnesses and undertaking research on law. An
extensive range of the steps to be taken are dealt with in this
book. Where they involve matters of procedural and related law, the
basic principles are set out and practical advice is given to
assist in deciding when and how to use these legal procedures.
Practical steps to prepare for trial are also dealt with in a
manner that can be readily understood. To explain abstract
concepts, several examples of pleadings in different types of
actions (in an appendix) are used as illustrations.
In 1998, the first edition of Legal Drafting: Civil Proceedings was
written to bridge the gap between the academic study of law and its
practical application insofar as the preparation of court documents
is concerned. Drawing on his experience in coaching pupils at the
Bar, the author explains elementary matters and poses useful
reminders to more experienced practitioners. The second edition of
Legal Drafting: Civil Proceedings has been updated to address
changes in the law. It now includes a section on the preparation of
documents for arbitrations as well as an extended chapter on the
all-important task of preparing heads of argument.

This book is an introduction to metaphysics. It presupposes no
previous acquaintance with philosophy, and addresses the following
questions: What is metaphysics? Is there a plurality of things, or
is there only one thing? Is there an external world, a world of
things that exist independently of human thought and sensation?
What is time? Is there such a thing as objective truth. Why is
there something rather than nothing? Does our existence have a
meaning? Are we physical or non-physical beings? Do we have free
will? Are there things that do not exist? Do universals exist? This
Fifth Edition differs from the Fourth in that the long, previously
difficult chapter on time has been extensively rewritten, making it
much more accessible and engaging for the student reader. In
addition, the author has enhanced clarity throughout the text with
improvements to word choice, sentence structure, and paragraph
lucidity. Finally, the Notes and Suggestions for Further Reading at
the end of each chapter and the General Bibliography have all been
brought up to date. Key Features: Presupposes no prior acquaintance
with philosophy, making the book ideal for the undergraduate
student or interested general reader Offers thirteen chapters,
organized into three parts and each with its own introduction: I.
The Way the World Is II. Why the World Is III. The Inhabitants of

This book covers the gamut of historical and contemporary arguments
of metaphysics, engaging readers through three profound questions:
what are the most general features of the world, why is there a
world and what is the place of human beings in the world?
In Do Numbers Exist? William Lane Craig and Peter van Inwagen take
opposite sides on whether there are abstract objects, such as
numbers and properties. Craig argues that there are no abstract
objects, whereas Van Inwagen argues that there are. Their exchange
explores various arguments about the existence and nature of
abstract objects. They focus especially on whether our ordinary and
scientific thought and talk commit us to abstract objects,
surveying the options available to us and the objections each
faces. The debate covers central problems and methods in
metaphysics, and also delves into theological questions raised by
abstract objects. Key Features: Showcases the presentation and
defense of two points of view on the existence of abstract objects,
from two of the world’s leading philosophers Presents definitions
in an easily accessible form Provides frequent summaries of
previously covered material Includes a glossary of all specialized
vocabulary
Of Gothic descent, Jordanes wrote a unique set of histories. The
Getica narrates the history of the Goths from their earliest
origins until the middle of the sixth century. Building on the lost
history of Cassiodorus, it is the earliest example of a history
told from the perspective of one of the barbarian peoples
establishing kingdoms in the fifth and sixth centuries. It had
great influence on later medieval historians, on national histories
of the nineteenth century and on modern accounts of Gothic history.
The Romana is a survey of world and Roman history. Whilst largely
dependent on traditional Roman histories and chronicles for events
up to the fourth century, it contains much unique information for
the last two centuries it narrates. This book offers the first
translation into English of the Getica for a century and the first
modern translation of the Romana. The introduction locates the
Getica and the Romana in the context of ancient historiography,
building a new picture of Jordanes as a historian and of the two
works themselves. It also offers a detailed discussion of the
sources used by Jordanes, suggesting possible ways to identify his
debt to Cassiodorus. Extensive notes guide the reader through these
fascinating but often complex texts.

For the business and government relationship in Japan, the pre-war
period was an era of considerable change. Framed by Japan's
nation-building efforts, the relationship adapted and evolved with
the often fluid economic and political circumstances. As both
business and government had vested interests in the direction and
success of Japan's industrialization process, on one level they
became partners. At the same time, though, they were both
stakeholders in the fiercely competitive iron and steel industry.
This book explores how that partner-competitor relationship worked
during the amalgamation of this strategic industry from 1916 to
1934, demonstrating how both parties engaged in meaningful
negotiation through the open forum of the Shingikai - or Councils
of Deliberation - throughout the pre-war period. Drawing upon the
original minutes of the debates, it shows the ways in which the
participants defended their vested interests and sought to forge
agreement, taking the forum seriously as a means of influencing
outcomes, and not simply as a mere exercise of artifice deployed to
shroud the real locus of decision-making. Business-Government
Relations in Prewar Japan is an important contribution to the
literature on the relationship between government and business in
pre-war Japan.

Material Connections eschews outdated theory, tainted by
colonialist attitudes, and develops a new cultural and historical
understanding of how factors such as mobility, materiality,
conflict and co-presence impacted on the formation of identity in
the ancient Mediterranean. Fighting against 'hyper-specialisation'
within the subject area, it explores the multiple ways that
material culture was used to establish, maintain and alter
identities, especially during periods of transition, culture
encounter and change. A new perspective is adopted, one that
perceives the use of material culture by prehistoric and historic
Mediterranean peoples in formulating and changing their identities.
It considers how objects and social identities are entangled in
various cultural encounters and interconnections. The movement of
people as well as objects has always stood at the heart of attempts
to understand the courses and process of human history. The
Mediterranean offers a wealth of such information and Material
Connections, expanding on this base, offers a dynamic, new subject
of enquiry - the social identify of prehistoric and historic
Mediterranean people - and considers how migration, colonial
encounters, and connectivity or insularity influence social
identities. The volume includes a series of innovative, closely
related case studies that examine the contacts amongst various
Mediterranean islands - Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, Crete, Cyprus,
the Balearics - and the nearby shores of Italy, Greece, North
Africa, Spain and the Levant to explore the social and cultural
impact of migratory, colonial and exchange encounters. Material
Connections forges a new path in understanding the material culture
of the Mediterranean and will be essential for those wishing to
develop their understanding of material culture and identity in the
Mediterranean.

This book explores the exportation and application of European
Union legislation beyond EU borders. It clarifies the means and
instruments of the voluntary application of the EU's norms by third
countries and analyses in detail the process of legislative
approximation between the EU and its East European neighbours. It
also assesses the extent to which the EU is successful in promoting
its legal standards abroad. The first part of the book addresses
the EU's mechanisms and instruments promoting the export of its own
laws and practices to other countries. Key issues include the
post-Lisbon constitutional basis for the EU's engagement with its
Eastern neighbours (Art. 8 TEU); the different methods of acquis
export and the impact of a new generation of Association Agreements
providing for the establishment of Deep and Comprehensive Free
Trade Areas (DCFTAs) and, ultimately, a Neighbourhood Economic
Community (NEC) between the EU and its Eastern partners. The second
part of the book includes substantive country reports that analyse
the process of legislative approximation and application of EU law
in the Eastern Partnership countries and Russia, authored by
leading academics from the countries concerned. While currently
these countries are not working towards full EU membership, the EU
encourages them to approximate and converge their legislation with
the EU acquis. The book also offers a unique picture of current
practice of the application of EU law by judiciaries in the
countries of the Eastern Partnership and Russia. The book concludes
with reflections on the multi-faceted character of legislative
approximation and the challenges surrounding the application of EU
law in the EU's Eastern neighbourhood. The conclusions reached are
highly informative as to the effectiveness of present and future EU
external regional policies aimed at the promotion of EU common
values and EU legislation into the legal orders of third countries.
This book explores the implications of European and Eurasian
integration projects for the constitutional orders of post-Soviet
countries. On the one hand, the process of Eurasian integration,
culminating in the establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union
(EAEU), led to the creation of new institutions and mechanisms
influencing the domestic legal order of the participating
countries. On the other hand, the process of European integration,
epitomised through the European Union (EU), constitutes an
important source of reference for domestic constitutional
developments in the countries which recently concluded a new
generation of Association Agreements with the EU. This book
analyses the implications of both processes. The book addresses the
relevant experience of the countries from Central and Eastern
Europe with transitional constitutionalism, mapping out the
significance of European and Eurasian integration for protecting
the rule of law in the post-Soviet space and identifying the
constitutional implications and challenges of the EAEU and the new
generation of Association Agreements. It also provides detailed
country reports on national constitutional orders in the
post-Soviet space and their adaptability to regional integration
projects, authored by leading academics from the countries
concerned, providing a number of general reflections about the
evolution of post-Soviet constitutions in light of European and
Eurasian integration projects.

Reimagining our global economy so it becomes more sustainable and
prosperous for all Our global economic system is broken. But we can
replace the current picture of global upheaval, unsustainability,
and uncertainty with one of an economy that works for all people,
and the planet. First, we must eliminate rising income inequality
within societies where productivity and wage growth has slowed.
Second, we must reduce the dampening effect of monopoly market
power wielded by large corporations on innovation and productivity
gains. And finally, the short-sighted exploitation of natural
resources that is corroding the environment and affecting the lives
of many for the worse must end. The debate over the causes of the
broken economy—laissez-faire government, poorly managed
globalization, the rise of technology in favor of the few, or yet
another reason—is wide open. Stakeholder Capitalism: A Global
Economy that Works for Progress, People and Planet argues
convincingly that if we don't start with recognizing the true shape
of our problems, our current system will continue to fail us. To
help us see our challenges more clearly, Schwab—the Founder and
Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum—looks for the real
causes of our system's shortcomings, and for solutions in best
practices from around the world in places as diverse as China,
Denmark, Ethiopia, Germany, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
And in doing so, Schwab finds emerging examples of new ways of
doing things that provide grounds for hope, including: Individual
agency: how countries and policies can make a difference against
large external forces A clearly defined social contract: agreement
on shared values and goals allows government, business, and
individuals to produce the most optimal outcomes Planning for
future generations: short-sighted presentism harms our shared
future, and that of those yet to be born Better measures of
economic success: move beyond a myopic focus on GDP to more
complete, human-scaled measures of societal flourishing By
accurately describing our real situation, Stakeholder Capitalism is
able to pinpoint achievable ways to deal with our problems. Chapter
by chapter, Professor Schwab shows us that there are ways for
everyone at all levels of society to reshape the broken pieces of
the global economy and—country by country, company by company,
and citizen by citizen—glue them back together in a way that
benefits us all.

Plantation forests often have a negative image. They are typically
assumed to be poor substitutes for natural forests, particularly in
terms of biodiversity conservation, carbon storage, provision of
clean drinking water and other non-timber goods and services. Often
they are monocultures that do not appear to invite people for
recreation and other direct uses. Yet as this book clearly shows,
they can play a vital role in the provision of ecosystem services,
when compared to agriculture and other forms of land use or when
natural forests have been degraded. This is the first book to
examine explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided by
plantation forests, including soil, water and biodiversity
conservation, as well as carbon sequestration and the provision of
local livelihoods. The authors show that, if we require a higher
provision of ecosystem goods and services from both temperate and
tropical plantations, new approaches to their management are
required. These include policies, methods for valuing the services,
the practices of small landholders, landscape approaches to
optimise delivery of goods and services, and technical issues about
how to achieve suitable solutions at the scale of forest stands.
While providing original theoretical insights, the book also gives
guidance for plantation managers, policy-makers, conservation
practitioners and community advocates, who seek to promote or
strengthen the multiple-use of forest plantations for improved
benefits for society. Published with CIFOR
