  • Linguistic Justiceby Jacqueline Mowbray

    OUP Oxford 2012; US$ 92.99

    Globalisation and migration are producing societies of increasing linguistic diversity. At the same time, English is achieving unprecedented global dominance, smaller languages are becoming 'extinct' at an alarming rate, and ethnic tensions in countries from Belgium to Tibet continue to centre on questions of language. Against this background,... more...

  • Sovereignty and its Discontentsby William Rasch

    Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 63.95

    This book argues for the centrality of conflict in any notion of the political. In contrast to many of the attempts to re-think the political in the wake of the collapse of traditional leftist projects, it also argues for the logical and/or ontological primacy of violence over 'peace'. The notion of the political expounded here is explicitly 'realist'... more...

  • Risk, Uncertainty and Governmentby Pat O'Malley

    Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 71.95

    Both risk and uncertainty are neo-liberal concepts, which can be viewed as complementary techniques for governing diverse aspects of life, rather than natural states of things. This new book examines the way these constructs govern the production of wealth through 'uncertain' speculation and 'calculable' investment formulae. The way in which risk... more...

    Hauptbeschreibung Doping erfährt seit über hundert Jahren im Humansport steigende Aufmerksamkeit, nachdem es wohl bereits in der Antike und auch im Pferdesport schon länger ähnliche Betrugshandlungen gab.

  • Begriff und Rechtfertigung abdingbaren Rechtsby Lorenz Kähler

    Mohr Siebeck 2012; US$ 101.37

    Hauptbeschreibung Abdingbares Recht tritt in großer Vielfalt und den unterschiedlichsten Formen auf. Das haben die bisherigen Modelle nur ungenügend berücksichtigt. Lorenz Kähler zeigt in seiner Untersuchung, dass sich abdingbares Recht stattdessen als Menge von Normen begreifen lässt, bei denen der jeweilige Adressat die Anwendbarkeit trotz konstanter... more...
