Buying the Land, Selling the Land
Studying Crown Maori land policy and practice in the period 1869–1929, from the establishment of the Native Land Court power until the cessation of large-scale Crown purchasing by Gordon Coates, this investigation chronicles the bleak and grim tidal wave of Crown purchasing that dominated the Maori people under very difficult circumstances. While recognizing that the government purchasing of Maori land was in its own way driven by genuine, if blinkered, idealism, this work's deep research on land purchasing policy gives renewed insight on the significant politicians of the era, such as Sir Donald McLean, John Balance, and John McKenzie who were strong advocates of expanded and state-controlled land purchasing.

Rethinking Liberalism
This book explores liberalism's past and present transformations and proposes a prospective future as a neo-republican democratic liberalism. Bellamy engages with theorists of liberalism from J. S. Mill, through T. H. Green, Guido De Ruggiero, Carl Schmitt and Joseph Schumpeter, to F. A. Hayek, John Rawls and Michael Walzer. He contends that the pluralism and complexity of modern societies have undermined liberalism's communitarian and ethical assumptions. Studies of the Poll Tax fiasco in Britain, and of the constitutional dilemmas posed by the European Union confirm the contemporary inadequacies of traditional conceptions of liberal democracy. Drawing on Max Weber, Bellamy advocates a retu...
The Brazilian Voter
The dramatic transition from military to civilian rule in Brazil between 1974 and 1985 raises critical questions about voters, competitive party politics, and democracy at the end of the twentieth century. This book argues that whereas military government stifled democratic activity, public opinion quickly revived when the military liberalized electoral politics in 1974. Voters rapidly aligned themselves with parties for and against military government, acquired new views on major issues, judged leaders by their performance and policies, and grounded their beliefs in concepts of social justice. Kurt von Mettenheim examines how Brazilian voters make choices and cast their ballots runs counter to long-held liberal theories about how democracy works.
God's Assassins
Between 1976 and 1983 an estimated 30,000 Argentines "disappeared" under the military junta. Most were imprisoned and tortured before being murdered by the military. In the two years preceding 1976, another 2,000 were assassinated by paramilitary death squads loosely organized by the Argentine government of Isabel Perón.

O Pós-Positivismo e o Princípio da Afetividade no Direito Civil Brasileiro
Durante séculos, famílias foram formadas por motivos alheios ao amor, liberdade e afeto, assim como o direito era o posto, imposto e separado de valores e princípios. A partir do século XX, surge o movimento Pós-Positivista e, desde então, novas leituras jurídicas se tornaram possíveis com a constitucionalização do Direito Civil, rompendo, assim, paradigmas clássicos, especialmente no direito das famílias. No direito brasileiro, a Constituição Federal inaugurou a pulverização de princípios e valores que devem balizar o direito das famílias, seguido pelo Código Civil e atualmente por jurisprudências dos Tribunais Superiores que reconhecem o afeto como motivo primordial, be...
