This book conceptualises a substantive right to a social minimum, defined as non-discriminatory access to minimum essential levels of subsistence. In a comparative analysis of the Concluding Observations of five UN human rights treaty bodies across all EU Member States in the period of 2009?2019, it addresses the particular challenges of realising the right to a social minimum for persons with disabilities, children, and Roma. The book uses MAQDA for a qualitative content analysis and combines it with a statistical reading of the European survey on income and living conditions (EU-SILC), the official instrument to measure poverty and social exclusion across the EU, addressing the divide between human rights and social policy scholars.

In this book, leading law academics along with lawyers, activists and others demonstrate what legislation could look like if its concern was to create justice for women.Each chapter contains a short piece of legislation - proposed in order to address a contemporary legal problem from a feminist perspective. These range across criminal law (sexual offences, Indigenous women's experiences of criminal law, laws in relation to forced marriage, modern slavery, childcare and sentencing), civil law (aged care and housing rights, regulating the gig economy; surrogacy, gender equity in the construction industry) and constitutional law (human rights legislation, reimagining parliaments where laws are made for the benefit of women). The proposed laws are, moreover, drafted with feedback from a senior parliamentary draftsperson (providing guidance to contributors in a personal capacity), to ensure conformity with legislative rigour, as well as accompanied by an explanation of their reasons and their aims. Although the legislation is Australian-based, the issues raised by each are recognisably global, and are reflected in the legislation of most other nations.This first feminist legislation project will appeal to scholars of feminist legal studies, gender and the law, gender studies and others studying or working in relevant legal areas.

This book offers a radical new understanding of law, beyond the confines of its formalization by the state.The book takes off from the late work of Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, for whom law and its institutions came to be liberated from an ideological perspective that had treated them as sterile instruments for the reproduction of domination. Engaging its continental history, it addresses the concept of law, not merely as a 'command', but as the result of a much more complex legal operation aimed at dynamically stabilizing the social relations of a community. The book thus sidesteps the usual legal-political focus on those - from Hobbes to Schmitt - who have contributed to the categorical scheme of the modern state, and with it questions of political representation, sovereignty, the rigid distinction between public law and private law, and so on, as it pursues an alternative theoretical trajectory through Ravaisson, Tarde, and Hauriou. Politics, the book maintains, can be no longer be treated simply through the state form. And, relatedly, the law must be seen as a living law: a law that cannot be treated exclusively in formal terms, but must be taken as a grammar capable of articulating a politics of process, relationality, and innovation. Reconceived as such, law can then circumvent the aporias that arise when society is viewed as a private company, and the state seen as the bearer of the only possible means of formalizing its relationships.At the intersection of law and political theory, this book will speak to scholars and others with interests in both these areas, and especially those concerned with the limits of both conventional and critical approaches to law.

Political systems across much of the West are now subject to populist disruption, which often takes an anti-Constitutional form. This interdisciplinary book argues that the current analysis of anti-Constitutional populism, while often astute, is focused far too narrowly. It is held here that due to an obscured complex of dynamics that has shaped the history of the West since its inception and which remains active today, we do not understand the present. This complex not only explains the current disruptions across the fields of contemporary religion, politics, economics and emerging artificial intelligence but also how these disruptions derive each from originary sources. This work thereby explains not only the manner in which this complex has functioned across historical time but also why it is that its inherent, unresolvable flaws have triggered the shifts between these key fields as well as the intractability of these present disruptions. It is this flawed complex of factors that has led to current conflicts about abortion reform, political populism, the failure of neoliberalism and the imminent quantum shift in generative artificial intelligence. It is argued that in this, law is heavily implicated, especially at the constitutional level. Presenting a forensic examination of the root causes of all these disruptions, the study provides a toolbox of ideas with which to confront these challenges. This is a book of originality and significance, which will make fascinating reading for academics and researchers working in the areas of Socio-legal Studies, Legal Philosophy, Political Science, Theology, AI and Neuroscience.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

A probing analysis of Black women's attempts to pursue justice for sexual-violence victims within often hostile social and legal systems In Bodies in the Middle: Black Women, Sexual Violence, and Complex Imaginings of Justice, Maya Hislop examines the lack of place that Black women experience, specifically when they are victims of sexual violence. Hislop uses both historical and literary analyses to explore how women, in the face of indifference and often hostility, have sought to redefine justice for themselves within a framework she calls "Afro-pessimistic justice." Afro-pessimism begins from the belief that Black life in America, and in turn the American justice system, is constrained within a framework of anti-Blackness meant to enforce white supremacy. Inspired by the work of Black-studies luminaries such as Orlando Patterson, Sylvia Wynter, and Fred Moten, Hislop asks what justice can look like in the absence of total victory and how Black women have attempted to define alternative paths to a just future.

Right in the middle of the German constitution, a group of ordinary citizens discovers a forgotten clause that allows them to take 240,000 homes back from multi-billion corporations. In this work of creative non-fiction, scholar-activist and Nine Dots Prize winner Joanna Kusiak tells the story of a grassroots movement that convinced a million Berliners to pop the speculative housing bubble. She offers a vision of urban housing as democratically held commons, legally managed by a radically new institutional model that works through democratic conflicts. Moving between interdisciplinary analysis and her own personal story, Kusiak connects the dots between the past and the present, the local and the global, and shows the potential of radically legal politics as a means of strengthening our democracies and reviving the rule of law.

In the latest installment of the NOMOS series, a distinguished group of interdisciplinary scholars explore the erosion?and potential rebuilding?of civic bonds in response to injustice, wrongdoing, and betrayal. Contributors address the possibility of reconciliation and repair, drawing on cutting-edge insights from the fields of political science, philosophy, and law. Nine timely essays explore our pivotal moment in history, from the question of reparations for slavery to the from the art?and impact?of the public apology. The editors of this volume encourage us to not only examine the roots of mistrust, but also to imagine a collective way forward, particularly as we face the continuing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reconciliation and Repair provides thought-provoking perspectives in an age where they are desperately needed.

Karl-Otto Apel, Juergen Habermas und Robert Alexy vertreten die Auffassung, dass die Letztbegruendung der Menschenrechte als moralische und positive Rechte auf dem Diskurs basiert. Ob dieser Anspruch in ihren Theorien der Moral und des Rechts tatsaechlich eingeloest werden kann, wird in der neuen Studie eingehend untersucht. Es zeigt sich, dass das ambitionierte Unternehmen letztlich als gescheitert gelten muss. Die Diskurstheorien des Rechts bieten zwar eine Loesung fuer einige Probleme der Diskursethik, bestaetigen aber auch die Annahme, dass zwischen Geltung und Faktizitaet keine Bruecke existiert. Es gibt keine Einheit, sondern nur die Unterschiede selbst.

Legal and social movement scholars have long puzzled over the role of movements in moving, being moved by, and changing the meanings of the law. But for decades, these two strands of scholarship only dovetailed at their edges, in the work of a few far-seeing scholars. The fields began to more productively merge before and after the turn of the century. In this Element, the authors take an interactive approach to this problem and sketch four mechanisms that seem promising in effecting a true fusion: legal mobilization, legal-political opportunity structure, social construction, and movement-countermovement interaction. The Element also illustrates the workings and interactions of these four mechanisms from two examples of the authors' work: the campaign for same-sex marriage in the United States and social constitutionalism in South Africa.

Lange bevor es eine Gesetzgebung und die Vorstellung von einer objektiven Rechtsordnung gab, entstand Recht, indem Menschen sich gegenseitig individuelle Rechte gewaehrten. Die Reziprozitaet ist seit jeher eine grundlegende Komponente menschlichen Verhaltens. Neben der autoritativen Gesetzgebung ist daher bis heute die intersubjektive Rechtsbildung als Rechtsquelle zu betrachten. Die Rechtsentstehung aus intersubjektiven Beziehungen legt nahe, den Bezugspunkt des Rechtsbegriffs beim Menschen zu erkennen. Daher kann nur dann von Recht gesprochen werden, wenn aufgrund der gegenseitigen Akzeptanz der Beteiligten der Schutz von Leben und Eigentum, die Einhaltung vertraglich uebernommener Pflichten sowie der Ausgleich von Schaeden gewaehrleistet sind.

Die Autorin bildet in ihrer Arbeit einen strafrechtskritischen Massstab anhand des Verfassungsrechts und unter Zuhilfenahme feministischer Theorie, den sie sodann exemplarisch auf die beiden Strafnormen des Exhibitionismus (Paragr. 183 StGB) und der Genitalverstuemmelung (Paragr. 226a StGB) anwendet. Im ersten Kapitel geht ihre Arbeit der Frage nach, wie sich Feminismus als politisches Anliegen und feministische Rechtswissenschaft zum (Straf-)Recht verhalten. Im zweiten Kapitel widmet sie sich dem verfassungsrechtlichen Rahmen und Massstab. Das dritte Kapitel analysiert und bewertet anhand des gebildeten Massstabs Paragr. 183 StGB (Exhibitionismus) und Paragr. 226a StGB (weibliche Genitalverstuemmelung).

Young, Stephen M., The Structural Limits of the Law: The Event Horizon of Legality. 200 pp. 2024:7 (Routledge, UK) <721-318>

This book examines how, in response to crises, law tends to construct singular 'events' that obscure the underlying structural causes that any adequate response needs to acknowledge and address. Litigation is the main legal process that constructs events through a narrative that describes what happened and prescribes what should happen. Courts are theatres with competing stories and intense controversies. The legal event is compelling. But, through the examination of several cases from a range of jurisdictions, this book argues that the ability to construct and reconstruct legal events is so strong, appealing, and powerful that it limits our ability to engage in structural analysis. The difficulty of seeing beyond what is here called 'the event horizon of legality' interprets aspects of life as exceptional rather than structural, as it focuses attention on a limited range of possible causes, and so a limited range of possible interventions. So, if issues like famine, obesity, poverty, a rising cost of living, and climate change are even partially produced through non-eventful modalities of power, like colonialism, imperialism, or global capitalism, then, as this book analyzes, the event horizon of legality can only ensure that those issues continue. The book therefore calls for a critical re-evaluation of the role of law in shaping our representation of, and response, to crises; and so, for a rethinking of the power and promise of law. This original analysis of the operation of law will appeal to sociolegal scholars and legal theorists, as well as others working in relevant areas in critical and social theory.
