Memoirs in a Path for Tomorrow:
Dr. Fathi Kemicha is a man of more than a single culture who followed more than a single path in life. In Memoirs in a Path for Tomorrow, he reflects on his past so he can move forward. This memoir chronicles the highlights of his life beginning with his early years in Tunisia and his arrival in Paris in 1973 where he embarked on an unprecedented career path. Sharing his journey and discoveries, Kemicha tells of his experiences as an artist, lawyer, international arbitrator, farmer, author of a thousand-page doctoral thesis at the University of Paris, as a visiting scholar at Yale, and as a son, father, and grandfather. With the love of France and the attachment to his Tunisian roots, Kemicha puts his exceptional career and his unique experience to the service of the future by recommending to the youth “to persevere and believe.” Memoirs in a Path for Tomorrow is more than a collection of memories, it is a lesson of life and a reason to hope.

A Comparative Guide to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, first opened in 2016, is a 100 billion dollar multilateral development bank purpose-built to support infrastructure projects that enhance regional economic productivity. Its arms reach far: in its first two years, AIIB has financed transport systems such as national motorways in Pakistan, railways in Oman, and rural roads in India; energy projects including natural gas pipelines in Azerbaijan and hydropower plants in Tajikistan; and the redevelopment of impoverished areas in Indonesia. Initiated by China, its membership is global, with regional powers from Korea to Saudi Arabia, and key players from Europe, Africa, and Latin America. In a text that will appeal to general readers and legal specialists alike, Natalie Lichtenstein examines the Bank's mandate, investment operations, finance, governance, and institutional set up, as well as providing detailed analyses of the similarities and differences it has with other development banks - charting AIIB's story so far and anticipating its future.
Legal Aspects of HIV/AIDS
This is an invaluable resource for lawyers, policy makers, and other practitioners with an interest in countries' responses to HIV/AIDS. Legal Aspects of HIV/AIDS: A Guide for Policy and Law Reform covers 65 wide-ranging topics in a concise, accessible format, explaining how laws and regulations can either underpin or undermine public health programs and responsible personal behavior. For each topic, the Guide summarizes the key legal or policy issues, provides relevant "practice examples" (citing actual laws and regulations), and offers a selective list of references that may be consulted for more information. Laws relating to many areas of our lives - from intimate physical conduct to international travel - can contribute to stigma, discrimination, and exclusion or, contrariwise, can help remedy these inequities. In order to create a supportive legal framework for responding to HIV/AIDS, it is important that governments effectively address gaps and other problematic aspects in their legislation and regulatory systems. This book, written by a team of leading legal experts, helps them do so.

The readable think pieces offer indications of law's cutting edge.

Among the authors in this volume are William Twining (Emeritus Quain Professor of Jurisprudence, University College London), David Eagle...
Overcoming the Corruption Conundrum in Africa
This book adopts a holistic approach to identifying what could be done to surmount the corruption conundrum in the African continent. It acknowledges the objective reality of corruption in Africa, and identifies primary solutions to the issue. The volume takes a socio-legal approach in order to reveal the nature and extent of corruption, and suggests that solutions can be found simply by interrogating how society reacts to it. In conjunction with this, the book identifies and critiques constraints in the formation of a definitive definition of corruption. As shown here, although it is critical for African states to develop anti-corruption strategies, the solution to the problem requires an understanding of the significance of political will, and how the lack thereof has led to the endurance of corruption in Africa.
