Reflections on 'The Concept of Law'
HLA Hart developed 'The Concept of Law' while renowned historian AWB Simpson was studying and teaching at Oxford. Simpson wittily recreates the culture of Oxford philosophy in the '50s, providing a new perspective of one of the most famous works of philosophy of the 20th century and casting a satirical eye over the shortcomings of post-war Oxford.
Human Rights and the End of Empire
The European Convention on Human Rights of 1950 established the most effective international system of human rights protection ever created. This is the first book that gives a comprehensive account of how it came into existence, of the part played in its genesis by the British government, and of its significance for Britain in the period between 1953 and 1966.
In the Highest Degree Odious
During the Second World War, just under 2000 British citizens were detained without charge, trial or term set, under Regulation 18B of the wartime Defence Regulations. This book provides a comprehensive study of Regulation 18B and its precursor in the First World War, Regulation 14B.
Winners in Action
The answer, more often than not, to the question 'have you ever owned a Maxply tennis racket?' is a 'yes' said with a smile that reflects happy memories of keenly fought games played almost anywhere in the world. And the reaction would likely be the same if the question was about either a Maxfli or 65 golf ball, a Slazenger tennis ball or Slazenger cricket bat. Ever since the second half of the 19th century, when mainly the Victorians devised the rules and regulation for so many of today's major sports, the names Dunlop and Slazenger have been at the heart of their worldwide growth. Uniquely, in the sports equipment market, these two companies set up a chain of ball manufacturing plants and ...
Young People, Social Media and the Law
This book critically confronts perceptions that social media has become a ‘wasteland’ for young people. Law has become preoccupied with privacy, intellectual property, defamation and criminal behaviour in and through social media. In the case of children and youth, this book argues, these preoccupations – whilst important – have disguised and distracted public debate away from a much broader, and more positive, consideration of the nature of social media. In particular, the legal tendency to consider social media as ‘dangerous’ for young people – to focus exclusively on the need to protect and control their online presence and privacy, whilst tending to suspect, or to criminalise, their use of it – has obscured the potential of social media to help young people to participate more fully as citizens in society. Drawing on sociological work on the construction of childhood, and engaging a wide range of national and international legal material, this book argues that social media may yet offer the possibility of an entirely different – and more progressive –conceptualisation of children and youth.
Markets Don't Fail!
In all of the contemporary economics textbooks that have been written there is typically at least one chapter that addresses 'market failure.' Markets Don't Fail! is a response to what author Brian Simpson sees as a fundamental error in the thinking of some economists. The chapter titles of this book are crafted against the premises of 'market failure' arguments, and a significant portion of this book focuses on exposing the invalid premises upon which the claims of market failure are based and providing a proper basis upon which to judge the free market. The material in this book provides a strong antidote to the arguments typically presented in contemporary economics textbooks. Through exa...
