The Challenge of Inter-legality
The first book-length treatment to describe and explain how legal orders can be interwoven and what to do about it. The volume discusses inter-legality in different legal fields, situates it within political and legal theory, and provides a normative assessment.
Applying Municipal Law in International Disputes
The view that international law functions independently of municipal law (hermetically), does not reflect contemporary international practice. Instead, international law in the modern era engages intensively and extensively in projects that occupy areas traditionally governed by municipal law, such as business regulation as well as the rights and duties of persons. The resulting overlap in legal dominions requires a new conceptualization of the relationship between international and municipal law. This book explores the mechanisms employed to allocate authority to international and municipal law in international disputes. Taking a broader view, this course explores the work of international bodies, domestic courts, and informal dispute resolution, including diplomacy and the use of coercive measures. It identifies the mechanisms used to manage the overlapping dominions of international and municipal law as pooling, referral, and nesting. In the final chapter, the book explores how different opportunities and ambitions for international law can affect the use of these mechanisms in particular international disputes.

The Constitution of Freedom
Constitutional democracy is more fragile and less 'natural' than autocracy. While this may sound surprising to complacent democrats, more and more people find autocracy attractive, because they were never forced to understand or imagine what despotism is. Generations who have lived in stable democracies with the promise that their enviable world will become the global 'normal' find government rule without constitutionalism difficult to conceive. It is difficult, but never too late, to see one's own constitutional system as something that is fragile, or up for grabs and in need of constant attention and care. In this book, Andras Sajo and Renata Uitz explore how constitutionalism protects us ...
Immigration, Emigration, and Migration
Immigration, Emigration and Migration consists of essays written by distinguished scholars across the fields of law, political science, and philosophy that examine questions of travel and migration across national borders. Questions of immigration and border enforcement practices are particularly salient in contemporary public discourse, and examinations of policy and practice bring forth new philosophical quandaries. Why the common assumption that each country has the right to control its own borders? How are laws that restrict or regulate migration created and justified? Why has the criminalization of migration increased? How can migration be better considered through the point of view of ...
Maritime Poetics
In the past fifty years, port cities around the world have experienced considerable changes to their morphologies and their identities. The increasing intensification of global networks and logistics, and the resulting pressure on human societies and earthly environments have been characteristic of the rise of a »planetary age«. This volume engages with contemporary artistic practices and critical poetics that trace an alternate construction of the imaginaries and aspirations of our present societies at the crossroads of sea and land - taking into account complex pasts and interconnected histories, transnational flux, as well as material and immaterial borders.
L'ultimo Medioevo
L’Autore ritiene di aver vissuto l’adolescenza in una enclave, nel cuore del Sannio, dove la vita sembrava ferma al Medioevo. Ha voluto raccontare questa esperienza, vissuta meno di un secolo prima dell’era digitale, computerizzata che oggi viviamo. Nonostante il racconto metta in luce un periodo difficile, dove spesso era la povertà a stabilire il destino degli uomini, si avverte una sottile nostalgia di quei tempi lunghi, di rapporti umani sinceri; o forse è la nostalgia per la giovinezza di allora? In tutti gli altri racconti si avverte un sentimento di sfiducia verso il genere Umano, ben evidenziata nell’Antropoide, lì dove un Uomo assume i modi e le sembianze degli Oranghi, r...
Cameron, Henri, Woodman
Are we all the same when behind a camera lens or is there a feminine gaze? Does it make any sense to address the gender issue with an impersonal and neutral medium like photography? The works of Julia Margaret Cameron, Florence Henri, and Francesca Woodman seem to provide an answer: despite different techniques and formal approaches, their portraits show a common sensitivity that affords the viewer a journey through the representation of femininity. In their photographs, all the women portrayed offer themselves to the viewer with their presence and demand to be acknowledged. Only in this way the photography can be the space where to put self-identity to the test, the place where to escape objectification and build a dimension in which the eye and the body offer a single vision, and any linguistic reference is subservient to a new investigation.
