A book about family law is necessarily a book both about family life and the role law can and should take in regulating family life. Individually and together, these are vast topics. American family law is ever-changing and affects every facet of our lives. The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Family Law provides a critical introduction to the enduring topics in the field, including not only an overview of the basic rules, but also the history and principles underlying them. In this short and accessible volume, Brian Bix gives the necessary legal background for understanding current media cov

En dehors de l’État, les waqfs n’étaient-ils pas dans l’ancien droit musulman les seules personnes morales ayant un patrimoine autonome affecté à un but statutaire se situant fréquemment dans le champ d’action qu’occuperont progressivement les services publics ? Si au fur et à mesure du développement de l’intervention de l’État les biens waqfs perdent leur domaine d’affectation, ils représentent cependant toujours un enjeu économique important — tant pour l’État qui songe à en faire l’instrument de sa politique sociale ou économique, que pour les gestionnaires qui ont de tout temps vu dans les biens de main-morte une occasion de profits faciles. Il n’est pas étonnant de constater que le flux des revenus annuels est fort réduit alors que le « stock » semble conserver une certaine valeur économique pouvant le cas échéant se transformer en moyen d’action politique. Il n’est donc pas étonnant de constater que les waqfs sont encore un enjeu à ce niveau.

The legal history of the construction of the welfare state gives an idea of its greatness. But this easy-going sovereign, tolerant to protest and accountable for its subjects’ well-being, seems to be struck by misery today. Exposed to systemic financial risks due to the opening of its commercial borders, it is seeing its resources dwindling and its expenses increasing. Fearful doctors are rushing to its bedside. Some are prescribing one bleeding after another, while others are already drawing up its death certificate. What we need is not this lethal medicine, but a precise diagnosis of the welfare state.

This collection of essays gathers contributions from leading international lawyers from different countries, generations and angles with the aim of highlighting the multifaceted history of international law. This volume questions and analyses the origins and foundations of the international legal system. A particular attention is devoted to Hugo Grotius as one of the founding fathers of the law of nations. Several contributions further question the positivist tradition initiated by Vattel and endorsed by scholars of the 19th Century. This immersion in the intellectual origins of international law is enriched by an inquiry into the practice of the law of nations, including its main patterns and changing evolution as well as the role of non-western traditions and the impact of colonization. Le présent ouvrage réunit les contributions de juristes internationaux reconnus en vue d’éclairer les multiples facettes de l’histoire du droit international public. L’ouvrage analyse et questionne les origines et les fondements de l’ordre juridique international. Une attention toute particulière est dédiée à Hugo Grotius l’un des pères fondateurs du droit international. D’autres contributions questionnent également la tradition positiviste initiée par Vattel et confortée par la doctrine du 19ème siècle. Cette immersion dans les origines doctrinales du système juridique international est enrichie par l’étude de la pratique du droit international public, son évolution ainsi que le rôle des traditions non-occidentales et l’impact de la colonisation.

This book maps out, from a variety of theoretical standpoints, the challenges generated by European integration and EU citizenship for community membership, belonging and polity-making beyond the state. It does so by focusing on three main issues of relevance for how EU citizenship has developed and its capacity to challenge state sovereignty and authority as the main loci of creating and delivering rights and protection. First, it looks at the relationship between citizenship of the Union and European identity and assesses how immigration and access to nationality in the Member States impact on the development of a common European identity. Secondly, it discusses how the idea of solidarity interacts with the boundaries of EU citizenship as constructed by the entitlement and capacity of mobile citizens to enjoy equality and social rights as EU citizens. Thirdly, the book engages with issues of EU citizenship and equality as the building blocks of the EU project. By engaging with these themes, this volume provides a topical and comprehensive account of the present and future development of Union citizenship and studies the collisions between the realisation of its constructive potential and Member State autonomy.

Le « plissement numérique » du monde est en cours et ce processus affecte les socles anthropologiques de nos sociétés. Le tissage continu, des écritures, des flux et des données, des êtres et des objets, de leurs pratiques, bref l’écologie de ces relations, de ces nouveaux territoires, ne cesse de croître sous ces conditions. Ces transformations sont loin d’être consensuelles et elles mettent en tension les agencements socio-techniques, cognitifs, économiques, environnementaux, culturels, professionnels… Cet ouvrage a pour but d’appréhender des « débats du numérique » en les éclairant de regards issus de champs disciplinaires différents. Sont ici rassemblées des contributions de chercheurs et de praticiens analysant le passage à de nouveaux modes de gouvernance du web et des collectifs numériques, à de nouvelles économies politiques des savoirs et des « Data » : la régulation d’Internet et la complication croissante de ses infrastructures et des acteurs qui les produisent ; le renouvellement puissant des « Commons » et des intelligences collectives soutenu par le mouvement hétérogène de l’Open Data ; le web des données et la question politico-cognitive des écritures ; l’hegemon du Datamining au coeur du marketing ; la montée du Data journalisme. De même, le déploiement récent de dispositifs socio-numériques en organisation est examiné en appelant à une mise en débat des sémio-politiques qui caractérisent le management et les modes d’existences au travail. Est également interrogé, le monde militaire, sa quête insomniaque d’efficience et de performativité. Enfin, le monde de l’art est lui aussi ébranlé par la matière numérique comme nouvelle substance d’expression.

This is an introductory book on African legal philosophy. The book claims that African legal philosophy exists and is intelligible in the context of African culture, just as every other legal philosophy has its cultural foundation. What law is, how it is thought, how it is interpreted, and how it is applied takes place with thing the parameters of African culture. At a time when the imposition of Western culture on Africans has to be reckoned with, African legal philosophy is, in part, a response to this imposition. It ought to have a liberating effect.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on International Law and International Relations: The State of the Art brings together the most influential contemporary writers in the fields of international law and international relations to take stock of what we know about the making, interpretation and enforcement of international law.

The volume also explores how interdisciplinary work has advanced theoretical understandings of the causes and consequences of the increased legalization of international affairs.
