  • Origins of Legislative Sovereignty and the Legislative State, 6 / Book 1by A. London Fell

    ABC-CLIO 2004; US$ 185.00

    This first book of the sixth volume centers on the Revolutionary and Constitutional eras in early American history, while also carrying the story ahead into the early 19th century. How did the American founders adapt and utilize European thought in their political and legal ideas on sovereignty, state, and legislation? Because of the seismic impact of European thought (and classical traditions) on America's foremost founders, it should come as no surprise that some of the most basic documents in the emergent new Republic were significantly influenced by European writings. Subsequent studies will take up the same basic themes in American thought and events from the mid-19th century to the present period.||The common denominator of legislation... more...

  • Non-State Regulatory Regimesby Myriam Senn

    Springer 2011; US$ 139.00

    "Non-State Regulatory Regimes" explores how the concept of regulation continues to evolve. The focus is placed on those forms of regulation that are different from state regulation or present alternatives to state regulation.

The approach is interdisciplinary encompassing various perspectives be they legal, political, international relations-based, economic, or sociological.

In comparison to these essays, this study is... more...
