Описание: This book is intended to focus the attention of scholars and policymakers on the ongoing land grabs that occur in all continents, as corporations, conglomerates and powerful governments ally themselves with those who reap economic profits from the dispossession of those who inhabit the lands. Often the dispossession takes place as a legal transaction, even as an internationally sanctioned form of so-called "sustainable development", something that, in reality, is neither sustainable, nor leading to the development of the communities indigenous to the land, who usually attempt to the best of their ability, to resist, and deny what they view as a forceful hostile occupation, of the lands which constitute their only source of sustenance. This book raises a grave question, as it asks, whether these dispositions might represent grave violations of the rights of peoples to be free from racial discrimination, and to their rights to their own resources and self-determination. When climate change is exacerbated by deforestation, in order to use the land for more profitable cash crops, then it is even possible to view the environmental disasters that ensue as crimes against humanity.

Описание: Now is an opportune time to be writing about socialism. 2017 and 2018 are landmark years for socialism. 2018, of course, is the 200 year anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx, whose name is mostly associated with modern socialism. 2017 is the 100 year anniversary of the Soviet Revolution which brought into being the first socialist experiment in the world. Furthermore, 2017 is the 150 year anniversary of the publication of Volume One of Marxs monumental Capital. Finally, 2017 is the 100 year anniversary of the publication of the iconic short booklet, Imperialism, authored by leader of the Soviet revolution, V. I. Lenin. The procedure adopted for this book on socialism in the 21st century is as follows: Chapter One sets the stage for the book by looking at the way the notion of socialism has gained renewed respectability through calls for it to commence via mainstream political parties. Chapter Two considers questions of the sources for socialist ideas and follows how these were progressively shaped to animate revolutionary actors in putting socialist experiments into practice. Chapter Three reviews the record of the Soviet Unions socialist journey. It examines Soviet discontents and explanations for this movement; it then ends with a review of the initial theoretical response to Soviet failings. Chapter Four explores the transformations undergone by capitalism in the 20th and 21st century. The purpose of this is to show that the kind of capitalist economy socialist revolutionaries believed would be the antechamber for socialism now no longer exists.

Описание: Please include a 200-500 word descriptive paragraph which we could use for our website posting and brochures should a contract be signed: International law needs to be revised and changed radically because presently it is not able to function to protect human rights as it should. Most of the global economic transactions happen beyond states and are not under their control: in fact they are transnational, as are most of the worlds citizens interests and aspirations. Most states are now weak: corporations tend to control them indirectly, as well as provide citizens the services that used to be provided by states. In fact many legal scholars argue that states are now so weakened that they have become irrelevant, so that a law that is intended to be inter-national, that is between nations, ignores the global changes that have occurred supranationally, in the new transnational area controlled by non-state actors and various legal persons, some of which act in desirable ways, while many others are both dangerous and uncontrolled. The citizens of most nations are now transnational themselves, as they turn to new non-state actors and organizations that embody their interests and aspiration far better than the states where they live can: world citizens turn to the internet to follow their choices and interests as they have lost their trust in the home states, mostly unable to provide not only the services they used to provide, but also any hope of improvement or development. Hence, we argue that a law that is intended to operate exclusively between nations is no longer sufficient, as it is a system that neither includes nor regulates the real actors that contribute to global governance today, that is non-state actors and legal persons of various kinds. The foundational principles that inspired the most important international legal regimes for the protection of humanity, especially those forbidding racial discrimination, protecting the rights of women and children, of prisoners and others who are oppressed, which are no longer respected too many states , as political gain of various government parties supersede the respect for principles of protection. Many new problems that emerge then are simply ignored, from the grave problem of migration everywhere, to the loss of democratic power often controlled by the economic interests of the most powerful especially in the West, to the imminent disasters caused by climate change, all problems that are beyond the scope of any single nation to control. Therefore this work proposes a return to the basic principles that should govern international legal regimes in order to achieve a renewed, effective international system of laws.

Описание: Terrorism, a widespread global phenomenon, manifests itself in the actions and the policies of individuals and groups, but also and primarily in the actions and policies of states. Delving into the seldom-discussed question of the motivation for most episodes of terrorism, this book studies terrorism’s effects based on the economic and geopolitical imbalances that frame today's global governance. The main goal of terrorism is to induce terror, and perhaps to influence public opinion for political change. Many states hide their terrorist activities under the “faces” they show the world, masks intended to hide real aims of acquiring or expanding power and wealth. These activities, presented as “self-defense,” “preventive action,” “counter-measures” or even as promoting "progress and development," are forms of state terrorism that are much more widespread, powerful, and destructive than the actions originating from groups labeled terrorist since 9/11. This book examines the numerous illegal measures states use, from unlawful imprisonment and curtailing of civil liberties to torture, in the name of responding to terrorism. At the same time, it considers how trade and industrial activities terrorize people by depriving them of the natural resources they need to survive and by exposing communities to life-threatening hazardous conditions. In closing, the book considers how existing laws might stem the tide of state terrorism. The conclusions are not optimistic: the UN's systems and legal regimes are clear in defense of human rights, but the structure and nature of state power do not permit these mandates to prevail.With a foreword by Tullio Scovazzi.
