Regulating Risk
When governments impose stringent regulations that impede domestic competition and international trade, should we conclude that this is a deliberate attempt to protect industry or an honest effort to protect the population? Regulating Risk offers a third possibility: that these regulations reflect producers' ability to exploit private information. Combining extensive data and qualitative evidence from the pesticide, pharmaceutical, and chemical sectors, the book demonstrates how companies have exploited product safety information to win stricter standards on less profitable products for which they offer a more profitable alternative. Companies have additionally supported regulatory institutions that, while intended to protect the public, also help companies use information to eliminate less profitable products more systematically, creating barriers to commerce that disproportionally disadvantage developing countries. These dynamics play out not only domestically but also internationally, under organizations charged with providing objective regulatory recommendations. The result has been the global legitimization of biased regulatory rules.
Climate Change and the Endurance of Democracy
This book explores the challenges climate change poses to the endurance of democracy, situating this theme within the context of the decline in global freedom documented since the early 21st century. It discusses how disaster events have historically affected human reasoning and agency and how the climate crisis is likely to influence democratic development in the future. Climate extreme events can provide opportunities for autocratic leaders to curtail rights and freedoms, but they can also create critical junctures where the social and political discourse within society is reshaped and where incumbent regimes are contested. The book illustrates how climate change may generate food insecuri...
International Criminal Jurisdiction
"Whose law must I obey? This question is so basic to our legal obligations that it ought to be easy. Specifically, a person considering an action ought to be able to answer this question by the use of law-like rules. This ought to be particularly true of criminal law, which will be the principal focus of this book. Actually, this question is partially unanswerable in the world as it exists today. Whether by accident or design, the current structure and content of law-national and international-sometimes prevents persons (natural or juridical) from being able to answer the question fully at the time of action"--

Between Impunity and Imperialism
This book uses a series of high-profile cases to illustrate the key elements of transnational bribery law. It analyzes the law through the lenses of two competing theoretical approaches: the OECD paradigm and the anti-imperialist critique. It ultimately defends an alternative distinctively inclusive and experimentalist approach to transnational bribery law.

A Internacional da Lava Jato
As relações entre a operação Lava Jato e organismos governamentais norte-americanos, em especial o Departamento de Justiça, suscitaram polêmicas, denúncias e debates em diversos círculos. No entanto, é pouco debatido como o chamado "combate à corrupção", na última década, foi instrumentalizado pela ofensiva, liderada pelos EUA, jurídica, política, econômica e ideológicamente contra governos não alinhados aos ditames de Washington. Neste livro, que conta com prefácio de José Paulo Neto, orelha de Juliane Furno, contracapa de Elias Jabbour e apresentação de Marcelo Braz, Luís Eduardo Fernandes apresenta, a partir da análise crítica de extensa documentação inédita no Brasil, a relação da Lava Jato com o Imperialismo contemporâneo: vínculos não somente com órgãos governamentais estrangeiros, mas uma extensa rede de ONG ́s, Think Tanks, organizações empresariais e jurisdições extraterritoriais que influenciaram a formação de uma autonomia relativa dessa operação que culminou na destruição de cadeias produtivas nacionais, no golpe de 2016 contra Dilma Rouseff e na projeção de uma nova direita com peso de massas no Brasil.
