This
practical guide aims to facilitate the discovery of narrative sources
(chronicles, annals, saints' lives) for a given area and time period. It
lists editions, modern translations and, as far as possible, internet
sites for texts. Nine introductory essays discuss genres of historical
narrative and the methods of medieval history writing, and also
highlight the special character of Byzantine, Muslim, and Eastern
Christian narrative sources.

The Society of Norman Italy
 |
| Anteprima |
This
book is a wide-ranging collection of essays about different aspects of
the society of southern Italy and Sicily from the eleventh through to
the thirteenth centuries. Of the eleven contributors, seven are from
Continental Europe, most of whom have never before published in English.
The volume devotes particular attention to the evolution of the social
structure, to regional differences, the Church, and to the position of
Greek and Arabic Christians and Muslims within the Norman Kingdom of
Sicily. The authors, all acknowledged experts in this field, draw upon
an unrivalled knowledge of the contemporary sources, both published and
unpublished. This volume will therefore be a most important resource for
both scholars and students of this fascinating area of medieval
history, on which relatively little has hitherto been written in
English.

Norman Tradition and Transcultural Heritage: Exchange of Cultures in the ‘Norman’ Peripheries of Medieval Europe
 |
| Anteprima |
The
Normans have long been recognised as one of the most dynamic forces
within medieval western Europe. With a reputation for aggression and
conquest, they rapidly expanded their powerbase from Normandy, and by
the end of the twelfth century had established themselves in positions
of strength from England to Sicily, Antioch to Dublin. Yet, despite this
success recent scholarship has begun to question the ’Norman
Achievement’ and look again at the degree to which a single Norman
cultural identity existed across so diverse a territory. To explore this
idea further, all the essays in this volume look at questions of Norman
traditions in some of the peripheral Norman dominions. In response to
recent developments in cultural studies the volume uses the concepts of
’tradition’ and ’heritage’ to question the notion of a stable
pan-European Norman culture or identity, and instead reveals the degrees
to which Normans adopted and adapted to local conditions, customs and
requirements in order to form their own localised cultural heritage.
Divided into two sections, the volume begins with eight chapters
focusing on Norman Sicily. These essays demonstrate both the degree of
cultural intermingling that made this kingdom an extraordinary paradigm
in this regard, and how the Normans began to develop their own distinct
origin myths that diverged from those of Norman France and England. The
second section of the volume provides four essays that explore Norman
ethnicity and identity more broadly, including two looking at Norman
communities on the opposite side of Europe to the Kingdom of Sicily:
Ireland and the Scandinavian settlements in the Kievan Rus. Taken as a
whole the volume provides a fascinating assessment of the construction
and malleability of Norman identities in transcultural settings. By
exploring these issues through the tradition and heritage of the
Norman’s ’peripheral’ dominions, a much more sophisticated understanding
can be gained, not only of th

The Architecture of Control: A Contribution to the Critique of the Science of Apparatuses
 |
| Anteprima |
Through
six meditations on the ideology of architecture, Grant Vetter is able
to give us an entirely new set of coordinates for understanding social
control in the twenty-first century. Moving between historical
precedents in the east and the west, Vetter's work reveals a hybrid
order of architectural power that acts on subjectivity from within
rather than without. Whether characterized as a process of
indo-colonization, social ionization or a sub-atomizing social physics,
Vetter's account of architectural subjectivation requires a complete
rethinking of power/knowledge as invested in producing perfected
subjects rather than normative ones. This new paradigm can be described
as a sovereign power in as much as it acts directly on the body through
enterrogatory discipline, inferrogatory infomatics, modulated
(in)dividualism, auto-affective attunement and incentivizing
injunctions. As a critical rejoinder to the discourse of Panopticism,
The Architecture of Control is essential reading for everyone who is
interested in new modes of resistance to the designs of biopower and
imperial democracy.

Free Time
Recent
debates about inequality have focused almost exclusively on the
distribution of wealth and disparities in income, but little notice has
been paid to the distribution of free time. Free time is commonly
assumed to be a matter of personal preference, a good that one chooses
to have more or less of. Even if there is unequal access to free time,
the cause and solution are presumed to lie with the resources of income
and wealth. In Free Time, Julie Rose argues that these views are
fundamentally mistaken. First, Rose contends that free time is a
resource, like money, that one needs in order to pursue chosen ends.
Further, realizing a just distribution of income and wealth is not
sufficient to ensure a fair distribution of free time. Because of this,
anyone concerned with distributive justice must attend to the
distribution of free time.On the basis of widely held liberal principles, Rose explains why citizens are entitled to free time--time not committed to meeting life's necessities and instead available for chosen pursuits. The novel argument that the just society must guarantee all citizens their fair share of free time provides principled grounds to address critical policy choices, including work hours regulations, Sunday closing laws, public support for caregiving, and the pursuit of economic growth.
Delving into an original topic that touches everyone, Free Time demonstrates why all citizens have, in the words of early labor reformers, a right to "hours for what we will."

One Another’s Equals: The Basis of Human Equality
 |
| Anteprima |
What does it mean to say we are all one another's equals? Is this supposed to distinguish humans from other animals? What is human equality based on? Is it a religious idea, or a matter of human rights? Is there some essential feature that all human beings have in common? Waldron argues that there is no single characteristic that serves as the basis of equality. He says the case for moral equality rests on four capacities that all humans have the potential to possess in some degree: reason, autonomy, moral agency, and the ability to love. But how should we regard the differences that people display on these various dimensions? And what are we to say about those who suffer from profound disability--people whose claim to humanity seems to outstrip any particular capacities they have along these lines?
Waldron, who has worked on the nature of equality for many years, confronts these questions and others fully and unflinchingly. Based on the Gifford Lectures that he delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 2015, One Another's Equals takes Waldron's thinking further and deeper than ever before.

Moral Judgments as Educated Intuitions
An
argument that moral reasoning plays a crucial role in moral judgment
through episodes of rational reflection that have established patterns
for automatic judgment foundation.
Rationalists about the
psychology of moral judgment argue that moral cognition has a rational
foundation. Recent challenges to this account, based on findings in the
empirical psychology of moral judgment, contend that moral thinking has
no rational basis. In this book, Hanno Sauer argues that moral reasoning
does play a role in moral judgment—but not, as is commonly supposed,
because conscious reasoning produces moral judgments directly. Moral
reasoning figures in the acquisition, formation, maintenance, and
reflective correction of moral intuitions. Sauer proposes that when we
make moral judgments we draw on a stable repertoire of intuitions about
what is morally acceptable, which we have acquired over the course of
our moral education—episodes of rational reflection that have
established patterns for automatic judgment foundation. Moral judgments
are educated and rationally amenable moral intuitions.
Sauer engages extensively with the empirical evidence on the psychology of moral judgment and argues that it can be shown empirically that reasoning plays a crucial role in moral judgment. He offers detailed counterarguments to the anti-rationalist challenge (the claim that reason and reasoning play no significant part in morality and moral judgment) and the emotionist challenge (the argument for the emotional basis of moral judgment). Finally, he uses Joshua Greene's Dual Process model of moral cognition to test the empirical viability and normative persuasiveness of his account of educated intuitions. Sauer shows that moral judgments can be automatic, emotional, intuitive, and rational at the same time.

Responsibility in an Interconnected World: International Assistance, Duty, and Action
 |
| Anteprima |
This
monograph opens with an examination of the aid industry and the claims
of leading practitioners that the industry is experiencing a crisis of
confidence due to an absence of clear moral guidelines. The book then
undertakes a critical review of the leading philosophical accounts of
the duty to aid, including the narrow, instructive accounts in the
writings of John Rawls and Peter Singer, and broad, disruptive accounts
in the writings of Onora O’Neill and Amartya Sen. Through an elaboration
of the elements of interconnection, responsible action, inclusive
engagement, and accumulative duties, the comparative approach developed
in the book has the potential to overcome the philosophical tensions
between the accounts and provide guidance to aid practitioners, donors
and recipients in the complex contemporary circumstances of assistance.
Informed
by real world examples, this book grapples with complex and
multi-dimensional questions concerning practices and the ethics of aid.
The author judiciously guides us through the debate between
deontological and consequentialist moral theories to arrive at a
sophisticated consequentialist account that does justice to the
complexity of the problems and facilitates our deliberation in
discharging our duty to aid, without yielding, as it should not, a
determinate answer for each specific situation. Researchers, students,
and practitioners of international aid will all find this book
rewarding.

Liberalism’s Religion
 |
| Anteprima |
Disaggregating religion into its various dimensions, as Laborde does, has two clear advantages. First, it shows greater respect for ethical and social pluralism by ensuring that whatever treatment religion receives from the law, it receives because of features that it shares with nonreligious beliefs, conceptions, and identities. Second, it dispenses with the Western, Christian-inflected conception of religion that liberal political theory relies on, especially in dealing with the issue of separation between religion and state. As a result, Liberalism's Religion offers a novel answer to the question: Can Western theories of secularism and religion be applied more universally in non-Western societies?

Global Justice, Human Rights and the Modernization of International Law
 |
| Anteprima |
This
book is based on the observation that international law is undergoing a
process of change and modernization, driven by many factors, among
which the affirmation and consolidation of the role of the individual
and of the theory of human rights stand out. In the contemporary world,
international law has demonstrated an ability to evolve rapidly. But it
is still unclear whether its modernization process is also producing
structural changes, which affect the subjects, the sources and even the
very purpose of this law. Is it truly possible to speak of a
paradigmatic and ideological change in the international legal system,
one that also involves a transition from a state-centred international
order to a human-centred one, and from inter-state justice to global
justice?The book addresses three fundamental aspects of the
modernization process of international law: the possible widening of the
concept of international community and of the classic assumptions of
statehood; the possible diversification of the sources of general
international law; and the ability of international law to adapt to new
challenges and to achieve the main goals for humanity set by the United
Nations.The overall objective of the book is to provide the tools for a
deeper understanding of the transition phase of contemporary
international law, by examining the major problems that characterize
this phase. The book will also stimulate critical reflection on the
future prospects of international law.

Collective Wisdom: Principles and Mechanisms
James
Madison wrote, "Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every
Athenian assembly would still have been a mob." The contributors to this
volume discuss and for the most part challenge this claim by
considering conditions under which many minds can be wiser than one.
With backgrounds in economics, cognitive science, political science,
law, and history, the authors consider information markets, the
Internet, jury debates, democratic deliberation, and the use of
diversity as mechanisms for improving collective decisions. At the same
time, they consider voter irrationality and paradoxes of aggregation as
possibly undermining the wisdom of groups. Implicitly or explicitly, the
volume also offers guidance and warnings to institutional designers.

Majority Decisions: Principles and Practices
Stéphanie Novak, Jon Elster - Cambridge University Press, 30 giu 2014 - 258 pagine
 |
| Anteprima |
This
book presents the most complete set of analytical, normative, and
historical discussions of majority decision making to date. One chapter
critically addresses the social-choice approach to majority decisions,
whereas another presents an alternative to that approach. Extensive case
studies discuss majority voting in the choice of religion in early
modern Switzerland, majority voting in nested assemblies such as the
French Estates-General and the Federal Convention, majority voting in
federally organized countries, qualified majority voting in the European
Union Council of Ministers, and majority voting on juries. Other
chapters address the relation between majority decisions and cognitive
diversity, the causal origin of majority decisions, and the pathologies
of majority decision making. Two chapters, finally, discuss the
counter-majoritarian role of courts that exercise judicial review. The
editorial Introduction surveys conceptual, causal, and normative issues
that arise in the theory and practice of majority decisions.

The Impact of the Mortgage Credit Directive in Europe: Contrasting Views from Member States
How
has European Private Law responded to the property and mortgage markets
crisis? And in what way is this reaction likely to model domestic
systems? The financial and economic crisis that marked the beginning of
the century has had a devastating effect on the property and mortgage
markets in many Member States of the European Union. Despite this, the
European legislator took its time to respond. This book analyzes the
impact of the Mortgage Credit Directive (Directive 2014/17) in twelve
different jurisdictions: Belgium, England, France, Germany, Greece,
Ireland, Italy, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. The
reports show how in some instances only certain products (such as
foreign currency loans) or practices (irresponsible lending,
homeownership promoting policies, the use of unfair terms) were factors
that triggered the property crash; in other cases; the system completely
failed to address an exceptional situation; and, finally, how in some
instances prudent lending explained why the market was virtually not hit
at all. This book aims to find out whether the two goals of Directive
2014/17 (financial sector stability and enhanced consumer protection)
can be achieved in light of its provisions and of the transposition
carried out by the different Member States, and whether the changes it
introduces have a significant impact in the jurisdictions considered
here. Some systems are already showing signs of yet another property
bubble. There is room for hope: perhaps we have learned from the past,
perhaps the Directive is a step forward, but more importantly this book
shows that we can learn from each other. [Subject: European Law, Private

Limits to EU Powers: A Case Study of EU Regulatory Criminal Law
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
“...essential reading for anyone interested in the existence and exercise of EU powers in the field of criminal law. Öberg's critical examination of the constitutional constraints to EU action also raises many questions that are of great interest in other areas of EU competence. The book deserves a wide readership among scholars interested in the constitutional workings of the European Union.”
Samuli Miettinen, University of Helsinki & Tallinn University
"The main strength of this book lies in its comprehensiveness of dealing with the topical issue of EU regulatory criminal law from the fascinating perspective of limits to EU powers. Its particular contribution to existing scholarship in the field of EU criminal law concerns its focus on judicial checks on the exercise of competences as to which the book offers a convincing proposal for a stricter standard for judicial review in matters of regulatory criminal law and beyond."
Professor Jannemieke Ouwerkerk, Leiden Law School
"An excellent read on competence allocation in EU law and what it means in criminal law context. This book guides the reader through very complex questions of the contours of subsidiarity, national competences and the exact limits of EU powers. It also supplies up to date case studies of financial crimes and the need for the EU to act effectively and thereby increase confidence in the market and the challenges it may cause for national systems. A very timely contribution."
Ester Herlin Karnell, VU University Amsterdam
Pursuant to the precepts of EU law, EU policy-makers are bound to ensure that any EU legislation must fall within the remit of the EU's competences. This monograph looks at this highly contested issue, with particular reference to European Union criminal law. It looks at the powers enjoyed by the EU to impose criminal sanctions to suggest mechanisms by which legislative powers could be kept in check. The book argues that the main responsibility for providing checks against the exercise of EU power lies with the EU judiciary. It argues that the most effective form of review is procedural and through the case study of sanctions, provides the basis for such a review. Innovative, engaging and rigorous, this is an important publication both in the field of European criminal and constitutional law.

The Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty, and Economics for a Warming World
 |
| Anteprima |
Bringing together all the important issues surrounding the climate debate, Nordhaus describes the science, economics, and politics involved—and the steps necessary to reduce the perils of global warming. Using language accessible to any concerned citizen and taking care to present different points of view fairly, he discusses the problem from start to finish: from the beginning, where warming originates in our personal energy use, to the end, where societies employ regulations or taxes or subsidies to slow the emissions of gases responsible for climate change.
Nordhaus offers a new analysis of why earlier policies, such as the Kyoto Protocol, failed to slow carbon dioxide emissions, how new approaches can succeed, and which policy tools will most effectively reduce emissions. In short, he clarifies a defining problem of our times and lays out the next critical steps for slowing the trajectory of global warming.

Governance by Numbers: The Making of a Legal Model of Allegiance
The
West's cherished dream of social harmony by numbers is today disrupting
all our familiar legal frameworks - the state, democracy and law
itself. Its scientistic vision shaped both Taylorism and Soviet
Planning, and today, with 'globalisation', it is flourishing in the form
of governance by numbers. Shunning the goal of governing by just laws,
and empowered by the information and communication technologies,
governance champions a new normative ideal of attaining measurable
objectives. Programmes supplant legislation, and governance displaces
government.However, management by objectives revives forms of law
typical of economic vassalage. When a person is no longer protected by a
law applying equally to all, the only solution is to pledge allegiance
to someone stronger than oneself. Rule by law had already secured the
principle of impersonal power, but in taking this principle to extremes,
governance by numbers has paradoxically spawned a world ruled by ties
of allegiance.

The EEA Agreement in a Revised EU Framework for Welfare Services
 |
| Anteprima |
This
book addresses some of the most debated topics preceding the UK
referendum on membership of the EU, namely welfare services and free
movement of citizens. The work improves understanding of the
implications of the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement, which is the
most integrated form of association agreement with the EU for
non-member states. The author considers the impact of EEA law on both
European Free Trade Association (EFTA) states and on EU Member States,
and looks at case law. A broad range of welfare services are analysed,
including public healthcare and educational services, various social
services, and public utilities such as transport and public
broadcasting. Free movement of students, of patients and public
financing of welfare services are among the issues explored.
The
focus here is particularly on legal aspects and the demonstrated
development of the EEA Agreement into the welfare sphere. This work
enables a sophisticated analysis about the nature of the principles of
homogeneity and dynamism. The book is essential reading for scholars who
seek to understand the EU’s legal framework, the EEA Agreement and its
implications. The topics covered are also relevant to UK/EU discussions
on future relations, both for intermediate and long-term arrangements.

questions relating to the interpretation of legal texts; the case-law of
the relevant international courts and commissions; and international
scientific analysis of these legal instruments. The reader will find a
quick systematic entry into the discussion thanks to the
article-by-article approach. The editors assembled an international team
of more than 70 scientific specialists on international labour law
instruments from a wide range of countries, most of them scholars in
universities and other research institutes.The book covers the whole
field of labour law, ie fundamental questions, worker's mobility,
equality law, individual labour law, collective labour law and dispute
resolution. Editors and authors have focused on European Union law,
including all of the general labour law directives and regulations, as
well as instruments with a wider scope insofar as they cover labour law,
eg in the field of private international law or data protection.
Furthermore, the book comprises analysis of the most relevant provisions
of the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Social Charter
and all the general labour law conventions from the ILO.

Precarious Lives: Job Insecurity and Well-Being in Rich Democracies
Employment
relations in advanced, post-industrial democracies have become
increasingly insecure and uncertain as the risks associated with work
are being shifted from employers and governments to workers. Arne L. Kalleberg examines the impact of the liberalization of labor markets and welfare systems on the growth of precarious work and job insecurity for indicators of well-being such as economic insecurity, the transition to adulthood, family formation, and happiness, in six advanced capitalist democracies: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Spain, and Denmark. This insightful cross-national analysis demonstrates how active labor market policies and generous social welfare systems can help to protect workers and give employers latitude as they seek to adapt to the rise of national and global competition and the rapidity of sweeping technological changes. Such policies thereby form elements of a new social contract that offers the potential for addressing many of the major challenges resulting from the rise of precarious work.

The Achilles Heel of Democracy
 |
| Anteprima |
Featuring
the first in-depth comparison of the judicial politics of five
under-studied Central American countries, The Achilles Heel of Democracy
offers a novel typology of 'judicial regime types' based on the
political independence and societal autonomy of the judiciary. This book
highlights the under-theorized influences on the justice system -
criminals, activists, and other societal actors - and the ways that they
intersect with more overtly political influences. Grounded in
interviews with judges, lawyers, and activists, it presents the 'high
politics' of constitutional conflicts in the context of national
political conflicts as well as the 'low politics' of crime control and
the operations of trial-level courts. The book begins in the violent and
often authoritarian 1980s in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and
Nicaragua, and spans through the tumultuous 2015 'Guatemalan Spring';
the evolution of Costa Rica's robust liberal judicial regime is traced
from the 1950s.

Canada in the World: Comparative Perspectives on the Canadian Constitution
 |
| Anteprima |
In
this volume marking the Sesquicentennial of Confederation in Canada,
leading scholars and jurists discuss the evolution of the Canadian
Constitution since the British North America Act 1867; the role of the
Supreme Court in interpreting the Constitution as a 'living tree'
capable of application to new legal issues; and the growing influence of
both the Constitution, with its entrenched Charter of Rights and
Freedoms, and the decisions of the Court on other constitutional courts
dealing with a wide range of issues pertaining to human rights and
democratic government. The contributors assess how the Canadian
Constitution accommodates the cultural diversity of the country's
territories and peoples while ensuring the universal applicability of
its provisions; the role of the Court in interpreting and applying the
Constitution; and the growing global influence of the Constitution and
decisions of the Court on legislatures and courts in other countries.
