The Business, Life and Letters of Frederick Cornes
Given the scarcity of data relating to trade with Japan in this period, 1861–1910, the Cornes archive is of great significance. A complete transcript on CD forms part of this volume, which in turn is supported in Part 2 by content summaries of all the private letters and copy books. Part 1 considers the life and times of Frederick Cornes and his legacy.
Prosecuting and Punishing Multi-Offenders in the EU
This book elaborates on the rules governing the prosecution and sentencing of multi-offenders. The term ‘multi-offender’ is used for an offender that has committed a series of offences (either in one single act or in different acts); hence the addition of ‘multi’ in ‘multi-offender’. A crucial element thereto is that the whole series of offences – which make the offender a multi-offender – has been committed before being subject to a final conviction. A comparative EU-study was conducted, focussing on the rules governing multi-offenders within different EU Member States. It reveals that this type of offenders challenge both the legislator and the prosecution and judges: when ...

Legal Professionals in White-Collar Crime
This work is dedicated to map the modes of thinking and acting of legal professionals who work in white-collar crime. Lawyers, whose decisions generate economic and political consequences, stand at a strategic location between the state and key segments of society. This monograph’s approach is linked to the foundations of the sociology of knowledge, that culture antecedes and anchors social action. It starts by reconstructing the worldviews that legal professionals hold about corruption and its main participants, and then advances to examine decision-making. The author is introducing an innovative dataset comprised of interviews, court records and biographical data to investigate Brazilian...
Cynical International Law?
Analysing international law through the prism of “cynicism” makes it possible to look beyond overt disregard for international law, currently discussed in terms of a backlash or crisis. The concept allows to analyse and criticise structural features and specific uses of international law that seem detrimental to international law in a more subtle way. Unlike its ancient predecessor, cynicism nowadays refers not to a bold critique of power but to uses and abuses of international law that pursue one-sided interests tacitly disregarding the legal structure applied. From this point of view, the contributions critically reflect on the theoretical foundations of international law, in particular its relationship to power, actors such as the International Law Commission and international judges, and specific fields, including international human rights, humanitarian, criminal, tax and investment law.
In dubio pro Straffreiheit?
Strafrecht in Extremlagen Ist Leben messbar? Im sog. Lebensnotstand, wenn getötet wird, um Menschen zu retten, bei Themen wie Sterbehilfe, Rettungsfolter oder terroristischer Gewalt, steht der Mensch der Moderne vor kaum lösbaren Konflikten, gerät das Recht an ungeahnte Schranken. Anders als die Debatte in Gesellschaft, Politik und Kirche muss das Strafrecht allerdings Lösungen anbieten. Der juristischen Diskussion ist dies bisher noch nicht gelungen. Anlass genug für den Autor, den allgemeinen Konsens der Kapitulation des Rechts vor den Extremsituationen des Lebens unvoreingenommen von Grund auf zu hinterfragen. Die mit einem Fragezeichen versehene Straffreiheit stellt dabei quasi das ...
6722 Tyska renässanskonstnärer (6722 Deutsche Künstler der Renaissance) Del 2
Del 2. Sammanställning i två delar av 6722 tyska renässanskonstnärer födda före år 1600. Målare, bildhuggare, konstgjutare, metalletsare och grafiker födda eller verksamma i Tyskromerska riket eller i dess direkta närhet. Denna sammanställning är gjord som en handbok för att i alfabetisk ordning kunna få en snabb och kort information om den konstnär man söker. Tidsperioden som täcks är cirka 1380 - 1630 vilket kan tyckas generöst med titeln renässans men behövdes eftersom det skiljer avsevärt i utvecklingstiden mellan skulptur och måleri, och även mellan mästare som var tidigt ute och stilistisk eftersläpning hos andra. Bildhuggarna var avsevärt tidigare än målar...
