Maritime insurance and the law ::legal action against protection and indemnity club /
No full text"This book provides a comprehensive examination of direct-action rights within Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs, a cornerstone of the maritime industry, providing robust insights into the interplay of legal frameworks and maritime insurance in an increasingly globalized industry. P&I Clubs provide shipowners with extensive liability coverage under rules largely governed by English law, due to its global maritime influence. Through a comparative analysis of English and Turkish legal approaches, the book examines how these differing frameworks affect the development and functioning of P&I insurance. It highlights critical disparities in the legal treatment of direct action against P&I Clubs, shedding light on their implications for maritime insurance policy, practice, and industry growth. It also covers the unique principles that distinguish P&I Clubs from other types of liability insurance. Additionally, the book offers recommendations for harmonising national legal systems with P&I Club rules, highlighting strategies to promote the growth and effectiveness of the maritime insurance sector. Drawing on extensive primary legal texts, case law, and comparative legal methodologies, the book suggests regulatory reforms for Turkey and other jurisdictions worldwide. The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of maritime law, maritime insurance and insurance law"-
Legal imaginaries of crisis and fear ::dark constitutionalism /
No full text"This book explores the epistemological, semiotic, semantic, and heuristic dimensions of the dark emotions in constitutional and international law. We are living in times of crisis and emergency where negative emotions and dark feelings are abundant. As these have come to form the intellectual and socio-legal context for the performance of constitutional and international law, this book explores their place - especially the politics of fear, but also anger, hate, despair, and crisis - in our current constitutional polycrisis. Focusing on this 'dark constitutionalism', the book draws together an international and interdisciplinary range of scholars to consider the place of emotive semiotics in collective meaning making, the constitutional politics of emotions, and emotional approaches to global challenges in a time of crisis, emergency, and transition. The book thereby develops a compelling analysis of the use of negative emotions in the shaping of contemporary constitutional imaginaries, and with it a novel account of the rise of dark constitutionalism. This book will appeal to researchers and scholars working in the areas of legal theory, legal philosophy, constitutional law, international law and socio-legal studies"-- Provided by publisher

Vegan witchcraft ::contemporary magical practice and multispecies social change /
No full textVegan Witchcraft is the first book to blend theories of animal rights, feminism, and modern witchcraft in pursuit of total liberation.Perhaps the most foundational of all ethics in modern witchcraft is the creed "Do no harm." Despite this, multispecies suffering persists in nonvegan witchcraft. Vegan Witchcraft examines this intriguing conflict, unpacking the role of Nonhuman Animals in modern witchcraft from a vegan feminist perspective to illuminate inequalities that persist in alternative spiritual practices in the West. Recognizing Nonhuman Animals as comrades instead of consumables, vegan witchcraft confronts the harm imposed on nature, humans, and other animals, and identifies witchery as a powerful conduit for social change that draws its energy from plant-based foods, multispecies solidarity, and feminine power. The book critically analyzes popular witchcraft pathways in Britain and America to interrogate the many ways in which Nonhuman Animals are overlooked, objectified, or exploited, highlighting theological inconsistencies and missed opportunities that might be overcome to create a stronger practice for women and their communities. It reimagines witchcraft practice and lore to manifest justice and compassion for fellow humans, Nonhuman Animals, and nature. Veganism is advanced as a magical practice of self-care, community responsibility, conscious consumption, societal transformation, and environmental protection. The book calls for the redirection of the modern witch's path toward a just world and away from the systematic symbolic and material exploitation of Nonhuman Animals that permeates witchcraft today.This book will be essential reading for those interested in critical animal studies, animal rights, ecofeminism, vegan religious studies, environmental philosophy, and witchcraft
From safety to safely ::principles and practice of systemic potentials management /
No full text"The conventional interpretation of safety, known as Safety-I, denotes a condition where as little as possible goes wrong, and the focus of practical efforts in management or analysis is on the occurrence of unacceptable outcomes and on how to reduce their number to an acceptable level, ideally zero. The emphasis is therefore on how to manage safety as such, as seen in the ubiquitous safety management systems (SMS). As Professor James Reason astutely points out, this raises the interesting question of how it is possible to learn about something, let alone manage it, if it is studied only in situations in which it is absent? The solution proposed by and described in this book is to stop using safety as a noun, and instead use it as an adverb: safely. Now often referred to as Safety-II, this solution is the logical consequence of resilience engineering and will require new methods, several of which already exist and have proved their worth in practice for years. The question ceases being what to manage and becomes how to manage. Managing safety is protective, hence a non-productive cost, which at best avoids a loss. Conversely, managing safely is productive and can generate revenue in addition to preventing or avoiding losses; aviation and mining are prime examples. This book provides a practical perspective on managing safely, illustrating a practical form of synesis. It offers a new understanding of safety, combining concerns for productivity and safety rather than juxtaposing them, and shows how to manage complex industrial and social systems in the spirit of Resilience Engineering and Synesis. It is the first book to completely dispense with the loaded term safety while offering a practical and viable alternative. Spoiler alert: This book does not mention or analyse any celebrated accidents. This book is for all middle and senior managers, board members and independent consultants seeking to ensure safe, revenue-generating operations"-

Gelenkte Restitution : die Rückgabe "arisierten" Grundvermögens jüdischer Gemeinden in der SBZ und der DDR.

No full textRegulae iuris in the medieval and modern age ::essential stability vs. evolving contexts /
No full text"The 2022 workshop has revealed a common theme in the scholarship of regulae - the contradiction between essence and context within them. On the one hand, the regulae may be seen as real entities, essential in themselves and stable. The presentations by David Deroussin and other scholars have shown that already the Roman jurists, e.g. Cicero, dreamt of using the regulae as the underlying legal principles, helping to "reduce law into art". Similarly, the presentation by David De Concilio has indicated that medieval jurists, especially those of the Bologna school in the 13th century, tended to see the regulae as objective generalisations of the solutions to the groups of related legal cases: they revealed certain "reasons of law" (causae legis) underlying the solutions"-- Provided by publisher
