My Life in Crime and Other Academic Adventures
Since his call to the Bar in 1960, Martin L. Friedland has been involved in a number of important public policy issues, including bail, legal aid, gun control, securities regulation, access to the law, judicial independence and accountability, and national security. My Life in Crime and other Academic Adventures offers a first-hand account of the development of these areas of law from the perspective of a man who was heavily involved in their formation and implementation. It is also the story of a distinguished academic, author, and former dean of law at the University of Toronto. Moving beyond the boundaries of conventional memoir, Friedland offers an extended meditation on public policy is...
Law's Religion
Prevailing stories about law and religion place great faith in the capacity of legal multiculturalism, rights-based toleration, and conceptions of the secular to manage issues raised by religious difference. Yet the relationship between law and religion consistently proves more fraught than such accounts suggest. In Law’s Religion, Benjamin L. Berger knocks law from its perch above culture, arguing that liberal constitutionalism is an aspect of, not an answer to, the challenges of cultural pluralism. Berger urges an approach to the study of law and religion that focuses on the experience of law as a potent cultural force. Based on a close reading of Canadian jurisprudence, but relevant to all liberal legal orders, this book explores the nature and limits of legal tolerance and shows how constitutional law’s understanding of religion shapes religious freedom. Rather than calling for legal reform, Law’s Religion invites us to rethink the ethics, virtues, and practices of adjudication in matters of religious difference.
MATERIAL WITNESS
The evidential role of matter—when media records trace evidence of violence—explored through a series of cases drawn from Kosovo, Japan, Vietnam, and elsewhere. In this book, Susan Schuppli introduces a new operative concept: material witness, an exploration of the evidential role of matter as both registering external events and exposing the practices and procedures that enable matter to bear witness. Organized in the format of a trial, Material Witness moves through a series of cases that provide insight into the ways in which materials become contested agents of dispute around which stake holders gather. These cases include an extraordinary videotape documenting the massacre at Izbica...
Civilian Casualties in War
According to UNICEF, the number of civilian casualties in war climbed from 5 percent at the turn of the twentieth century to more than 90 percent at the end of that century. Additionally, the current war against ISIS has racked up a staggering number of civilian deaths, including children. The days when professional armies fought in contained areas are long gone, having been replaced by drone strikes, neighbors shooting at neighbors from apartment windows, and massacres in rural villages. The viewpoints in this resource examine this byproduct of modern war and explore strategies for reducing civilian casualties.
The Balkans on Trial
This book assesses the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia’s (ICTY) legacy and examines the conflicting intersection of law and politics in the search for justice, both thematically and through close analysis of some of the major trials. It analyses the related case brought against Serbia and Montenegro by Bosnia and Herzegovina at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), as well as the Ganic case in London where the ICTY and ICJ findings were challenged. The book addresses the following questions: To what extent the political climate in which the ICTY was conceived, and continues to operate, has affected the declared aims of its founders? Have political considerations a...

Declínio da União Soviética e genocídios de regimes comunistas
A dissolução da União Soviética foi o processo de desintegração interna dentro da União das Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas (URSS), que começou no final dos anos 1980 com a crescente agitação nas várias repúblicas constituintes, e terminou em 26 de dezembro de 1991, quando o Soviete Supremo votou pela dissolução. O fracasso do golpe de agosto de 1991, quando o governo soviético e as elites militares tentaram derrubar o presidente Mikhail Gorbachev e impedir o "desfile de soberanias", fez com que o governo central de Moscou perdesse a maior parte de sua influência, e o soviete individual repúblicas proclamando independência nos dias e meses seguintes. Muitos assassinatos...
Storia del comunismo e del marxismo-leninismo: Dagli inizi al declino
La storia del comunismo comprende un'ampia varietà di ideologie e movimenti politici che condividono i valori teorici fondamentali della proprietà comune della ricchezza, dell'impresa economica e della proprietà. La maggior parte delle forme moderne di comunismo sono fondate almeno nominalmente nel marxismo, una teoria e un metodo concepiti da Karl Marx durante il XIX secolo. Nel 1985, un terzo della popolazione mondiale viveva sotto un sistema di governo marxista-leninista in una forma o nell'altra. Tuttavia, c'è stato un dibattito significativo tra gli ideologi comunisti e marxisti sul fatto che la maggior parte di questi paesi potesse essere considerata significativamente marxista dal momento che molte delle componenti di base del sistema marxista sono state alterate e riviste da tali paesi.L'incapacità di questi governi di essere all'altezza dell'ideale di una società comunista così come la loro tendenza generale verso un crescente autoritarismo è stata collegata al declino del comunismo alla fine del XX secolo.
