ISBN-13: 978-0-8133-3443-1, ISBN: 0-8133-3443-8

"The year 1996 in Italian politics was a year rich in novelty. After the “stalled transition” of 1995, the political atmosphere had begun to change. Most obvious was the end of Dini's unelected government of technocrats, supported by a heterogeneous group in Parliament, and its replacement with Romano Prodi's government, a coalition of the parties that had won the general election on April 21, 1996. But an even more important change and ..."

ISBN-13: 978-1-78347-564-3, ISBN: 1-78347-564-1

"'The role of culture in the operation of Japanese law is one of the great questions of sociolegal studies. Discussions tend to polarize, between a simplistic view of cultural determinism and a more universalist approach that emphasizes institutions. This superb collection, with a diverse and accomplished set of contributors, takes culture seriously. It shows how legal institutions have both shaped and been shaped by Japanese legal cultu ..."

348 Pages, Published 2017 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-1-351-95560-7, ISBN: 1-351-95560-8

"As it happens, the applications of Gramsci's ideas which I reviewed all departed to a large extent from his original conceptions of the relationship of hegemony to his other guiding concepts such as 'civil society' and 'organic intellectuals'. The opening contributions to this important debate within Marxism are to be found in R. Milliband “The Capitalist State: Reply to Nicos Poulantzas” in R. Blackburn, ed. , Ideology in the Socia ..."

"If there had been no such foundation, and the AIDS problem had appeared earlier... we could have had a policy of isolating AIDS patients, and a policy that most definitely would have infringed on rights.55 Still, there were many who pressed for coercive public health measures in Japan, either with or without concern for the potential infringement of rights. Rikkyo University's health law expert Hatakeyama Takemichi acknowledges tha ..."

228 Pages, Published 2016 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-1-317-16315-2, ISBN: 1-317-16315-X

"For a global criminology, one calls attention to the conditions within an evolving globalised world that help generate harmful practices and policies of international financial institutions, and conversely how militant anger at these institutions is ... Methodological nationalism tends to equate “society” with national society, but this concept does not capture a “planetary network of interdependencies” in an increasingly globalise ..."
