The concept of self-ownership was first articulated in anglophone political thought in the decades between the outbreak of the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution. This book traces the emergence and evolution of self-ownership over the course of this period, culminating in a reinterpretation of John Locke's celebrated but widely misunderstood idea that "every Man has a Property in his own Person." Often viewed through the prism of libertarian political thought, self-ownership has its roots in the neo-Roman or republican concept of liberty as freedom from dependence on the will of another. As Lorenzo Sabbadini reveals, seventeenth-century writers believed that the attainment of this status required not only a specific kind of constitution but a particular distribution of property as well. Many regarded the protection of private property as constitutive of liberty, and it is in this context that the vocabulary of self-ownership emerged. Others expressed anxieties about the corrupting effects of excessive concentrations of wealth or even the institution of private property itself. Bringing together canonical republican writers such as John Milton and James Harrington, lesser-known pamphleteers, and Locke, a theorist generally regarded as being at odds with neo-Roman thought, Property, Liberty, and Self-Ownership in Seventeenth-Century England is a bold, innovative study of some of the most influential concepts to emerge from this groundbreaking period of British history.

Ovim izvještajem se analizira pravo na slobodu okupljanja, s fokusom na praksi nadležnih organa: ministarstava unutrašnjih poslova u kantonima Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine i Republici Srpskoj te Policije Brčko distrikta. Istražena je i praksa drugih aktera koji u Bosni i Hercegovini mogu odlučivati o ostvarivanju prava na okupljanje (ministarstva saobraćaja, općinska tijela, privatne osobe). Iako je fokus na praksi, analizirani su i pozitivni propisi koji se odnose na prijavu i mogućnosti zabrane okupljanja, pri čemu je ispitana njihova usklađenost s međunarodnim standardima. Glavni cilj istraživanja je utvrditi da li je praksa institucija u Bosni i Hercegovini u pogledu prava na slobodu okupljanja restriktivna i koji su izazovi s kojima se susreću organizatori/organizatorice javnih okupljanja. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo cijeli teritorij Bosne i Hercegovine u vremenskom okviru od 1. 1. 2017. do 31.12.2019. godine. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da broj javnih okupljanja u Bosni i Hercegovini raste, kao i broj učesnika/učesnica okupljanja. Zakonski propisi, međutim , razlikuju se u različitim dijelovim a Bosne i Hercegovine, sa zajedničkom karakteristikom da nisu usklađeni s međunarodnim standardima. Loša zakonska regulativa, loša primjena te regulative u praksi i veliko diskreciono pravo koje je ostavljeno akterima u ovoj oblasti dovode do ograničavanja i diskriminacije u ostvarivanju prava na javno okupljanje u Bosni i Hercegovini. Praksa organa zavisi od cilja okupljanja, odnosno restriktivna je ukoliko su u pitanju okupljanja usmjerena na kritiku lokalne vlasti ili imaju u svom središtu prava žena i LGBTI osoba. Stoga je neophodno domaće zakone uskladiti u cijeloj državi, harmonizirati ih s međunarodnim standardima te kontinuirano obučavati državne organe u pogledu sadržaja i primjene međunarodnih standarda u ovoj oblasti. Imajući u vidu prethodno navedeno, ovaj izvještaj daje preporuke za razvoj kvalitetnog okvira za ostvarivanje prava na slobodu okupljanja u Bosni i Hercegovini, usklađenog s međunarodnim standardima.

"The integrity of the human being made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26) has been a challenge confronting not just the theologian, but great rulers, politicians, reformers, scientists, poets, artists, composers and novelists over centuries. The Orthodox Tradition might note that our human condition in time and space is shaped and challenged by this journey from likeness to image. Biblically we journey to see the face of God. Less theologically, the human condition is shaped by the tensions and contradictions as we journey to seek 'freedom'. Paradigms of Freedom explores, in the context of the unfolding of modern history, how this challenge has been compounded and enriched by the people and institutions who have sought to find and promote the concept of freedom (and issues of personal liberty) in the face of contrary or oppressive circumstances and systems. Importantly, it will examine the contribution of the artist to various models of freedom, some of which may be identified as vectors of transcendence; when image becomes likeness. The nature of human society, the sense of social harmony and paternalistic control that characterized society for centuries, and especially the emergence of Western culture, began to crumble in the fourteenth century with the cataclysmic onslaught of the Black Death; the challenge to the monolithic power of the Church and the nature of feudalism; the growth of new philosophical and political theories; and overall crumbling of authority. In the fifteenth century new developments like the invention of printing; the standardization of modern languages; and the global expansion of exploration, mercantilism and colonization presented unprecedented horizons of growth and challenges to the place and meaning of humanity in the world. These challenges are embodied in the Renaissance and Reformation, where the very foundations of belief and knowledge were questioned in new processes of discovery in both the world and the cosmos. The nature of freedom to search, to question and to discover new things brought about political and intellectual developments in an ever-expanding series of movements and interrogations. Moved by the annals of the times, individuals have sought to understand and perpetuate the heroic struggles through their own creative power. This in turn can draw us to share in those lost or sorrowful times, and reflect on the sacrifice and vision of those who have been prepared to witness fearlessly to the indomitable spirit of mankind, and his slow but inexorable movement or journey into the light. This exposition will examine various types/paradigms that have proposed and embodied concepts of freedom. These have tried, and often succeeded, in serving as vectors of transcendence, meditating on and mediating human aspiration. Such reflective movements of mind and heart are embodied both contemporaneously and retrospectively in various historical movements, political gestures and artistic creativity that have provoked thoughts on human liberty: political actions, decrees, philosophy, books, pictorial art, novels, poetry, theatre, opera and film. Representatives and examples (in words and imagery) of all these modes are exemplified in the chapters that explore certain iconic movements and personalities in some of the key historical and social events of the past six centuries. The process is of necessity selective. Religious conflict, freedom of thought and denomination, the wars fought over faith and control of the land, the desire for liberty of choice, challenging new discoveries in science and geography, cosmology, colonialism and slavery, Enlightenment, revolution and the search for national identity and independence-these are all areas that have absorbed human thought, knowledge and aspiration, and resulted in inevitable artistic reflection. This is not a history but a consideration of mankind's search to be free, and how this striving is embodied in the poetry of liberation"--
