Republican Principles in International Law
Republican Principles in International Law considers the fundamental requirements of a just world order, as applied to public international law. This book sets the standard for legitimate government, both within and beyond the jurisdiction of separate states and nations.
Republican Legal Theory
Republican legal theory developed out of the jurisprudential and constitutional legacy of the Roman res publica as interpreted over two millennia in Europe and North America. In this book - the most comprehensive study of republican legal ideas to date - Professor Sellers traces the development of republican legal theory. Explaining the importance of popular sovereignty, the rule of law, the separation of powers and other essential republican legal characteristics, he argues that these republican institutions have introduced a new era of justice into politics.
The Sacred Fire of Liberty
This book describes the origins of the concept of liberty in the legal and political thought of Rome, Italy, England, France and the United States of America. Professor Sellers traces the development of liberty and republican government over two centuries of European history, in association with liberal ideas. This study reveals republicanism as the parent of liberalism in modern law and politics, and demonstrates the continuing value of republican ideas in securing the liberty of contemporary states and their citizens.

Social dialogue and the role of the brazilian labour inspection in dealing with the new Coronavirus pandemic
Social dialogue and labour inspection are essential to promote and achieve decent work and are also important in times of crisis. After a brief historical review of social dialogue in Brazil in recent years, the experience of the Brazilian labour inspection in dealing with the crisis caused by the new coronavirus pandemic is described and later compared with the practices adopted by labour inspectorates in other countries. Data collection includes interviews with two social partners and an international survey with the participation of representatives from twelve countries. In the end, guidelines are proposed on how the performance of labour inspection and the use of social dialogue should be in the face of a crisis with negative economic effects in order to overcome it quickly and without major problems, generating beneficial and lasting results in the world of work and helping to recover the economy.
The Oxford History of Classical Reception in English Literature
The Oxford History of Classical Reception (OHCREL) is designed to offer a comprehensive investigation of the numerous and diverse ways in which literary texts of the classical world have stimulated responses and refashioning by English writers. Covering the full range of English literature from the early Middle Ages to the present day, OHCREL both synthesizes existing scholarship and presents cutting-edge new research, employing an international team of expert contributors for each of the five volumes. OHCREL endeavours to interrogate, rather than inertly reiterate, conventional assumptions about literary 'periods', the processes of canon-formation, and the relations between literary and non...
Empire and Politics in the Eastern and Western Civilizations
The volume includes the proceedings of the 2nd Roma Sinica project conference held in Seoul in September 2019 and aims to compare some features of the ancient political thought in the Western classical tradition and in the Eastern ancient thought. The contributors, coming from Korea, Europe, USA, China, Japan, propose new patterns of interpretation of the mutual interactions and proximities between these two cultural worlds and offer also a perspective of continuity between contemporary and ancient political thought. Therefore, this book is a reference place in the context of the comparative research between Roman (and early Greek thought) and Eastern thought. Researchers interested in Cicero, Seneca, Plato, post-Platonic and post Aristotelic philosophical schools, history, ancient Roman and Chinese languages could find interesting materials in this work.
Democratic Governance in Sports
The ability of sports federations to self-regulate is a profession of faith in the governance of global sports, even as a defense measure against attempts at political appropriation of the virtues of sports ideas, especially by autocratic or totalitarian regimes, as seen, for example, in "Nazification" of the aesthetics of the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936, or the use of sport as a piece of propaganda during the Cold War, in the second half of the 20th century. However, the possible hypocrisy of the discourse of an alleged purity of ideals defended by sporting autonomy has been exposed by successive episodes of abuse and corruption by sector leaders, at the most diverse levels, generating government reactions in order to issue norms that allow a greater degree of state intervention in sport. Given this situation, the work proposes governance standards that can preserve sports self-regulation, especially from the point of view of democratization of national and international federations and in light of the regulatory innovations issued by FIFA and the International Olympic Committee, in reaction to the episodes that undermine the credibility of global sports governance.
