Описание: With restrictive immigration policies, increased interdiction, and thedetention of asylum seekers, it is clear that Canada’s approachto border control has shifted in recent years. Yet such practices arejust the latest in a long and complex national history. CanadianLiberalism and the Politics of Border Control sheds light on thefirst century of Canada’s efforts to control its borders, framingpivotal moments within a long-standing but often overlooked debate overthe rights of non-citizens. Anderson provides valuable insights intocontemporary liberal-democratic control by demonstrating thattoday’s more restrictive approach reflects traditions deeplyembedded within liberal democracies.

Описание: Challenging myths about a peaceful west and prairie exceptionalism, the book explores the substance of prairie legal history and the degree to which the region's mentality is rooted in the historical experience of distinctive prairie peoples. The ways in which prairie peoples perceived themselves and their relationships to a wider world were directly framed by notions of law and legal remedy shaped by the course and themes of prairie history. Legal history is not just about black letter law. It is also deeply concerned with the ways in which people affect and are affected by the law in their daily lives. By examining how central and important the law has been to individuals, communities, and societies in the Canadian Prairies, this book makes an original contribution.

Описание: The Abortion Act 1967 may be the most contested law in UK history, sitting on a fault line between the shifting tectonic plates of a rapidly transforming society. While it has survived repeated calls for its reform, with its text barely altered for over five decades, women's experiences of accessing abortion services under it have evolved considerably. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews, this book explores how the Abortion Act was given meaning by a diverse cast of actors including women seeking access to services, doctors and service providers, campaigners, judges, lawyers, and policy makers. By adopting an innovative biographical approach to the law, the book shows that the Abortion Act is a 'living law'. Using this historically grounded socio-legal approach, this enlightening book demonstrates how the Abortion Act both shaped and was shaped by a constantly changing society.
