Our Selfish Tax Laws
Why tax law is not just a pocketbook issue but a reflection of what and whom we, as a society, value. Most of us think of tax as a pocketbook issue: how much we owe, how much we'll get back, how much we can deduct. In Our Selfish Tax Laws, Anthony Infanti takes a broader view, considering not just how taxes affect us individually but how the tax system reflects our culture and society. He finds that American tax laws validate and benefit those who already possess power and privilege while starkly reflecting the lines of difference and discrimination in American society based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, immigration status, and disab...

The Art of Legislating
Any contemporary state presents itself as committed to the “rule of law”, and this notion is perhaps the most powerful political ideal within the current global discourse on legal and political institutions. Despite being a contested concept, the rule of law is generally recognised as meaning that government is bound in all its actions by fixed and public rules, and that these rules respect certain formal requirements and are enforced by an independent judiciary. This book focuses on formal legality and the question of how to achieve good laws—a topic that was famously addressed by the 18th century enlightened thinkers, but also by prominent legal scholars of our time. Historically, th...
States and Regions in the European Union
This book analyses the impact of Europeanization on domestic politics and the relationship between states and regions.
A Three-Dimensional Theory of Law
What this book intends to do is to study three-dimensionalism (the distinction values-norms-facts) not in what could be called its historical dimension, but in its substantive aspect, as a “form” that, when applied to different legal themes, would add a “material content” to the three-dimensional theory. We can point out, as a study plan, the distinction between “three” perspectives: Those of the legal norm, of the legal order, and the legal relationship. Three-dimensionalism also appears in this work when one analyzes the “three” phases of the life of the law: The formation, the interpretation, and the application; and in the distinction between the “three” characteristics of the legal order: Fullness, coherence, and unity—the theory of legal validity, intended as legitimacy, as validity strictly speaking, or as effectiveness.
Transforming Europe
Does the European Union change the domestic politics and institutions of its member states? Many studies of EU decisionmaking in Brussels pay little attention to the potential domestic impact of European integration. Transforming Europe traces the effects of Europeanization on the EU member states. The various chapters, based on cutting-edge research, examine the impact of the EU on national court systems, territorial politics, societal networks, public discourse, identity, and citizenship norms.The European Union, the authors find, does indeed make a difference—even in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. In many cases EU rules and regulations incompatible with domestic institutions have created pressure for national governments to adapt. This volume examines the conditions under which this "adaptational pressure" has led to institutional change in the member states.

Föderalismus und Europäische Gemeinschaften
Tagungsbände haben keine Renaissance. Diese editorische Maxime wird vorliegend wegen der Aktualität des Themas, der Internationalität des Symposions sowie der Attraktivität der Beiträge durchbrochen. Die Spannungen zwischen dem Kompetenzverlangen der Europäischen Gemeinschaften und der Eigenstaatlichkeit ihrer Mitglieder, dem Brüsseler Unitarismus und dem innerstaatlichen Föderalismus, der Vertiefung oder Erweiterung einer Europäischen Union halten an. Nachzutragen bleibt, daß Österreich noch immer vor den Toren seiner ehemaligen Provinzhauptstadt Brüssel harren muß, aber die deutsche Frage nicht zuletzt wegen der ersten freien Wahlen in der ehemaligen DDR am Vorabend der Tagung...
