A Traditional Tool for New Business Models

Edited by José María Miranda Boto, University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain & Elisabeth Brameshuber, University of Vienna, Austria This open access book investigates the role of collective bargaining in the gig economy, as offline workers such as riders, food deliverers or drivers are slowly gaining access to the series of negotiated rights that, in the past, were only available to employees. The book collects the results of the COGENS (VS/2019/0084) research project, funded by the EU. The chapters analyse recent high-profile decisions and propose an evaluation of the bargaining agents in different Member States of the EU.

Lord Devlin

Justice John Sackar, Supreme Court of New South Wales

This important book looks at the life, influences and impact of Lord Devlin, a leading lawyer of his generation and one of the most recognised figures in the judiciary, thanks to his role in the John Bodkin Adams trial and the Nyasaland Commission of

Inquiry. Starting with his earliest days as a school boy before moving on to his later years, the author draws a compelling picture of a complex, brilliant man who would shape not just the law but society more generally in post-war Britain.

Can there be systemic developments in criminal law theory?

The Causes of War

Volume IV: 1650 - 1800

Alexander Gillespie, University of Waikato, New Zealand This series of volumes charts the causes of war from 3000 BCE to the present day. This volume covers the years 1650 to 1800. Written by a leading international lawyer the books use, as their principal materials, the documentary history of international law, largely in the form of treaties and the negotiations which led up to them. In departing from the various theories put forward by historians, anthropologists and psychologists, the author offers a different taxonomy of the causes of war, focusing on the broader settings of politics, religion, migrations and empire-building.

Governing the Society of Competition

Cycling, Doping and the Law

Martin Hardie, University of Dili, Timor-Leste This book uses contemporary social theory to consider the manner in which the making and implementation of law and governance is changing in the global context. It explores this through a study of the deployment of the global anti-doping apparatus, including the World Anti-Doping Code and its institutions, with specific reference to professional cycling. The author argues that the changes to law and governance are not restricted to anti-doping in sport, but are inherent to broader processes associated with neoliberalism and social and behavioural surveillance affecting all aspects of society and its political institutions.
