Ten of Swords
'I could never have imagined a bond like ours was on the cards for me. At the time of our reconnection, we had both recently come out of long-term relationships. I was two weeks heartbroken. My life as I knew it was falling apart. Rose was two years single, recovered and thriving. Our friendship was an escape for me. A reprieve from my crumbling reality. We did all sorts of things together. One of the best times was a sunset beach picnic, where we drank wine, ate cheese and crackers and Rose gave me my first tarot card reading.' Ten of Swords is an award-winning short story about a burgeoning friendship, a blossoming romance, and a tarot card reading with fateful -and fatal- predictions.

Hans Kelsen and the Natural Law Tradition
Hans Kelsen and the Natural Law Tradition provides the first sustained examination of Hans Kelsen’s critical engagement, itself founded upon a distinctive theory of legal positivism, with the Natural Law Tradition. This edited collection commences with a comprehensive introduction which establishes the character of Kelsen’s critical engagement as a general critique of natural law combined with a more specific critique of representative thinkers of the Natural Law Tradition. The subsequent chapters are then devoted to a detailed analysis of Kelsen’s engagement with prominent theorists from the Natural Law Tradition. The volume concludes with an exploration, focusing upon the delineation of a non-positivist legal theory in the debate between Robert Alexy and Joseph Raz, of the continued presence of Kelsenian legal positivism in contemporary legal theory.

The International Legal Responsibility of the European Union in the Context of the World Trade Organization in Areas of Non-Conferred Competences
This work focuses on the EU’s participation in the Dispute Settlement Proceedings (DSP) of the WTO for matters of non-conferred competences. The underlying thesis is that the joint membership of the EU and its Member States is fallacious, in that it could cause the EU to become responsible for violations of the WTO regulations on the part of the Member States. Such fallacies are rooted in the blurred nature of the distribution of powers in the EU polity.In order to tackle the issue of international responsibility, the analysis is based on the facts of a real-world case. Based on the tenets of public international law, the law of mixed agreements and the EU constitutional principles, the book puts forward a model for the EU’s participation in the DSP, and for the reallocation of burdens to the respective responsible entity. This proposition deconstructs the joint responsibility regime and endorses a solution that could address the issue of responsibility in mixed agreements without a declaration of powers.
