Pay-to-Play bietet einen zugänglichen Ansatz zum Verständnis zweier Systeme zur Wissenserschaffung und -verbreitung, die in das US-Rechtssystem eingebettet sind – private, gemeinnützige Universitäten und das Urheberrecht. Pay-to-Play zeigt die harte Realität auf, dass ein umfangreicher Bestand an akademischen Werken hinter gewinnorientierten digitalen Paywalls verschlossen bleibt. Der Zugang zu diesen Werken ist für den Einzelnen unerschwinglich und wird in der Regel nur durch noch teurere institutionelle Mitgliedschaften ermöglicht. Infolgedessen werden die meisten Menschen unnötigerweise vom Innovationsprozess ausgeschlossen, der den Kern der Urheberrechtsklausel der Verfassung darstellt.
This book provides a practical, functional comparison among various institutions, tools, implementation practices and norms in environmental law across legal cultures. This is a new approach that focuses on the act of comparison, looking at legal practice, from the ground up, including the perspective of citizens. Most literature on comparative environmental law either focuses on a two-way comparison of state jurisdictions or simply juxtaposes environmental features of two or more state jurisdictions without engaging in any analysis of the comparison. However, this book treats legal cultures as the objects of comparison as it provides practical comparisons among various institutions, tools a...
For law students and lawyers to successfully understand and practice law in the U.S., recognition of the wider context and culture which informs the law is essential. Simply learning the legal rules and procedures in isolation is not enough without an appreciation of the culture that produced them. This book provides the reader with an understandable introduction to the ways in which U.S. law reflects its culture and each chapter begins with questions to guide the reader, and concludes with questions for review, challenge and further understanding. Kirk W. Junker explores cultural differences, employing history, social theory, philosophy, and language as "reference frames," which are then ap...
This volume examines the impact of globalization on international environmental law and the implementation of sustainable development in the Global South. Comprising contributions from lawyers from the Global South or who have experience in the Global South, this volume is organized into three parts, with a thematic inquiry woven through every chapter to ask how law can enable economies that can be sustained, given the limited carrying capacity of the earth. Part I describes and characterizes the status quo of environmental and economic problems in the Global South during the process of globalization. Some of those problems include redistribution of environmental burden on the public through...
Este libro es una comparación práctica y funcional entre instituciones, herramientas, prácticas y normas ambientales a través de distintas culturas legales. Se trata de un nuevo enfoque que se centra en la comparación de las prácticas legales «desde abajo», incluyendo las perspectivas ciudadanas. La mayor parte de la literatura sobre el tema se enfoca en comparaciones entre jurisdicciones estatales o en la yuxtaposición de rasgos ambientales de dos o más países sin mayor análisis comparativo. Sin embargo, este libro se organiza de modo tal que el lector se enfrenta a temas legales ambientales a través de ejemplos y estudios de casos de diversas culturas que son comparadas para ayudar a entender la materia. Los casos se basan en las experiencias de los autores en Australia, Brasil, China, Chile, Etiopía, Alemania, India, Nigeria, Eslovaquia y los Estados Unidos. La naturaleza comparativa del libro permite que los profesionales en cada país desarrollen habilidades que les permitan entender y ofrecer contextos más amplios, y a los estudiantes a tomar conciencia de los sistemas específicos y su funcionamiento en relación con su propio sistema legal.

A redes sociais permitem ampla e rápida interação entre as pessoas, bem como a produção massiva e descentralizada de informação. Mostram-se poderosas ferramentas de disseminação de "fake news" que turvam o debate democrático e causam danos concretos à sociedade. Como a ordem jurídica pode regular de maneira mais efetiva a atividade das redes sociais e a circulação desses materiais, é a pergunta que se faz globalmente. No Brasil, rediscute-se o modo de controle de conteúdos dos usuários pelos provedores de aplicações, incluídas as redes sociais, e o regime de responsabilidade civil deles estabelecido pelo Marco Civil da Internet, tanto pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, quanto legislativamente, com vários projetos de lei sobre o tema. Nesse contexto, a presente obra busca analisar de forma profunda o fenômeno das "fake news", a liberdade de expressão e a atividade das redes sociais, assim como propor uma nova abordagem interpretativa do Marco Civil da Internet, para auxílio ao operador do Direito no enfrentamento jurídico desse sério problema.
Krasoslovci že od leta 1994 neprekinjeno sodelujemo pri načrtovanju in izgradnji avtocest na krasu. Pri izbiri trase avtocest in železniških prog so v ospredju upoštevanje celovitosti kraške pokrajine, priporočila o izogibanju pomembnejšim površinskim kraškim pojavom in že znanim jamam. Posebno pozornost posvečamo vplivu gradnje in uporabe avtocest na kraške vode. Izsledki rednih raziskav kraških značilnosti, ki so se razkrile med gradnjo avtocest, so obogatili naše poznavanje naravne in kulturne dediščine in poglobili krasoslovno znanje. So tudi izhodišče za načrtovanje življenja na kraškem površju in varovanje krasa. Knjiga je namenjena krasoslovcem, strokovnjakom ved o Zemlji, inženirskim geologom, načrtovalcem prometnic, študentom, naravovarstvenikom, načrtovalcem v upravnih enotah, upravljalcem kraških virov, vodovodov, turističnih jam ipd.
