Carbon Capture and Storage in International Energy Policy and Law
Carbon Capture and Storage in International Energy Policy and Law identifies the main contemporary regulatory requirements, challenges and opportunities involving CCS from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. It draws on the scholarship of renowned researchers across the fields of international energy law and policy to address CCS regulation and its impact on climate change, sustainable development, and related consequences for energy transition. In this vein, the book aims to address issues related to energy, energy justice and climate changes (including CCS technology). Contributors discuss the main challenges and advantages concerning international energy and the forms CCS may...
Principles of International Energy Transition Law
Energy transition is a complex global problem, with governance and policies cutting across multiple legal silos including human rights, environment, international economics, finance, energy, law of the sea, and transnational commerce. As of yet, there is no comprehensive treatment of the legal principles governing energy transition as a whole. Furthermore, energy transition must solve a trilemma that pits energy equity (the need to provide access to energy needed to fuel human development) and energy security (the need to provide resilient and reliable energy systems) against environmental sustainability. Without a comprehensive understanding of these issues, law and policy-makers risk exace...
Dynamic Federalism
This book offers a new theory of federalism. The work critically discusses traditional federal theories and builds on theories that focus on the dynamics of federalism. It offers a definition of federalism and federal organizations that encompasses both new and old types of multi-tiered system. Unlike traditional federal theory, it is well-suited to research both multinational and mononational systems. It also takes into account the complexity of these systems, with bodies of governance at the local, regional, national, and supranational level. The book is divided into three parts: the first part outlines the contours of dynamic federalism, based on a critical overview of traditional federal theory; the second part develops comprehensive indexes to measure autonomy and cohesion of multi-tiered systems; and the third part focuses on the dynamics of federal organizations, with a special focus on institutional hubs for change. Dynamic Federalism will be an essential resource for legal, social, economic, and political scholars interested in federalism, regionalism, and de/centralization.
Judicial Reputation
Judges are society’s elders and experts, our masters and mediators. We depend on them to dispense justice with integrity, deliberation, and efficiency. Yet judges, as Alexander Hamilton famously noted, lack the power of the purse or the sword. They must rely almost entirely on their reputations to secure compliance with their decisions, obtain resources, and maintain their political influence. In Judicial Reputation, Nuno Garoupa and Tom Ginsburg explain how reputation is not only an essential quality of the judiciary as a whole, but also of individual judges. Perceptions of judicial systems around the world range from widespread admiration to utter contempt, and as judges participate with...
Estudos Sobre Negócio e Contratos
A presente coletânea de textos, dividida em duas partes, em que se apresentam conceitos introdutórios de economia aplicados ao Direito, analisa decisões judiciais, avança em matéria societária e contratual, demonstrando que, sem dúvida, no que concerne a direitos patrimoniais, o diálogo entre as duas áreas – direito e economia – tem nos pesquisadores de diversos países, operadores do Direito, força propulsora que ensejará ganhos para a sociedade. Melhor o diálogo do que a batalha que deixa sequelas, muitas vezes irreparáveis. Dialogar com outras áreas do conhecimento, compreender suas dificuldades e metas, foi o que se deu nos Estados Unidos da América, quando economistas, para melhor compreender comportamentos humanos, se debruçaram sobre normas jurídicas e decisões judiciais para explicar seu impacto sobre a economia. Esta obra se propõe introdutoriamente a mesma função, porém especialmente voltada ao direito brasileiro e de países com ordenamento jurídico fundado na civil law.
How Judges Judge
A judge’s role is to make decisions. This book is about how judges undertake this task. It is about forces on the judicial role and their consequences, about empirical research from a variety of academic disciplines that observes and verifies how factors can affect how judges judge. On the one hand, judges decide by interpreting and applying the law, but much more affects judicial decision-making: psychological effects, group dynamics, numerical reasoning, biases, court processes, influences from political and other institutions, and technological advancement. All can have a bearing on judicial outcomes. In How Judges Judge: Empirical Insights into Judicial Decision-Making, Brian M. Barry ...
Time, Law, and Change
Offering a unique perspective on an overlooked subject – the relationship between time, change, and lawmaking – this edited collection brings together world-leading experts to consider how time considerations and social, political and technological change affect the legislative process, the interpretation of laws, the definition of the powers of the government and the ability of legal orders to promote innovation. Divided into four parts, each part considers a different form of interaction between time and law, and change. The first part offers legal, theoretical and historical perspectives on the relationship between time and law, and how time shaped law and influences legal interpretat...
The Elgar Companion to Intellectual Property and the Sustainable Development Goals
Complex geopolitical debate surrounds the role of intellectual property (IP) in advancing and achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Summarising and advancing this discourse, this prescient Companion is a thorough examination of how IP law interacts, influences and impacts each of the seventeen SDGs.
High Courts in Global Perspective
High courts around the world hold a revered place in the legal hierarchy. These courts are the presumed impartial final arbiters as individuals, institutions, and nations resolve their legal differences. But they also buttress and mitigate the influence of other political actors, protect minority rights, and set directions for policy. The comparative empirical analysis offered in this volume highlights important differences between constitutional courts but also clarifies the unity of procedure, process, and practice in the world’s highest judicial institutions. High Courts in Global Perspective pulls back the curtain on the interlocutors of court systems internationally. This book creates...
Direito da energia, transição energética e mudanças climáticas
O acesso à energia se tornou uma questão central na história da humanidade. Considerando, portanto, sua relevância na sociedade, ressalta-se a relação entre a energia e as normas jurídicas, as quais servem de aparato para sua apropriação e uso final. Com isso, desenvolvem-se internacionalmente estudos relativos à construção de um ramo autônomo da Ciência do Direito, denominado de Direito da Energia. Sendo assim, o que seria Direito da Energia? Seria um ramo autônomo dentro da Ciência do Direito? Qual seria sua interação com outros ramos do saber? Qual a relevância de seu desenvolvimento enquanto disciplina autônoma? E, qual sua interação com temas extremamente em voga na atualidade como mudanças climáticas e medidas de mitigação de emissão de carbono?
