Japan's Response to Crisis and Change in the World Economy (Routledge Revivals)

Originally published in 1986, after a period of global changes and financial crisis in the majority of industrialised countries, this book explores how Japan’s economy seemed to maintain its success. This study provides an overview of the Japanese case and the main schools of thought that arose from it by dealing with export-related issues such as reforms in foreign exchange and trade control laws and the internationalisation of Japan’s financial markets as well as more domestic issues such as employment and wages. This title will be of interest to students of Asian Studies and Economics.

Jewish Jurisprudence: Its Sources and Modern Applications, Volume 2 (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1986, Jewish Jurisprudence is the second volume of an important series analysing and setting forth the substantive principles of Jewish jurisprudence. It encompasses the applicable sources of Jewish law from the original transmission to Moses on Sinai of the terse written law and its accompanying oral elaboration through its development to the present day. Each topic concludes with the authors’ view of the present status of the law. In former years, the public teaching and discussion of law occupied a prominent place in Jewish culture. Today, estrangement from the language of Halacha has made it less accessible to the general public. This series is an attempt to open the world of Jewish law to the layperson, general scholars and specialists in jurisprudence.

Justice in Social Relations (Critical Issues in Social Justice)

From July 16 through July 21, 1984 a group of American and West German scholars met in Marburg, West Germany to discuss their com­ mon work on the topic of justice in social relations. For over 30 hours they presented papers, raised questions about each other's work, and in so doing plotted a course for future research and theory building on this topic. The participants were asked to present work that represented their most recent state-of-the-science contributions in the area. The con­ tributions to this volume represent refined versions of those presentations-papers that have been improved by the authors' consid­ eration of the comments and reactions of their colleagues. The result, we believe, is a work that represents the cutting edge of scholarly inquiry into the important matter of justice in social relations. To give the participants the freedom to present their ideas in the most appropriate way, we, the conference organizers and the editors of this volume, gave them complete control over the form and substance of their presentations. The resulting diversity is reflected in this book, where the reader will find critical integrative reviews of the literature, reports of research investigations, and statements of theoretical posi­ tions. The chapters are organized with respect to the common themes that emerged in the way the authors addressed the issues of justice in social relations. Each of these themes-conflict and power, theoretical perspectives, norms, and applications-is represented by a part of this book.

The Law on Medicines: Volume 1 A Comprehensive Guide

The Medicines Act 1968 together with its delegated legislation comprehensively controls the manufacture, packaging, labelling, distribution and promotion of medicines for both human and animal use in the United Kingdom. It also controls the import and export of such medicines. It replaced a patchwork of controls which evolved over a century. Since its enactment, more than 150 items of delegated legislation (orders and regulations) have been made under its provisions and about 130 are still operative. The sheer physical bulk of this mass of material causes difficulty, not only in comprehension but also in finding the detail so often required. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that some pieces of legislation have been amended several times. My principal aim is to provide a reference book which contains all of the provisions of the Act and its various orders, regulations as amended to date. The material is arranged to facilitate the search for detail. In order to assist the reader in finding his way through this maze, Chaper 1 consists of a survey of the situation which existed before the Act came into being, together with a synopsis of the present controls. This should enable the reader to appreciate the changes which have occurred and how the system works.

Lehrbuch der ökonomischen Analyse des Zivilrechts

Dieses Buch liefert eine Einführung in die ökonomische Analyse des Rechts und deren Anwendung auf zentrale Fragen des Zivilrechts. Nach dem Erscheinen einer umfangreichen Fachliteratur scheint es geboten, die Grundlinien dieses Ansatzes und dessen Verwertbarkeit für praktische Fragen des deutschen Rechts darzustellen. Bei der Auswahl der Themen kam es uns nicht auf Vollständigkeit an, etwa darauf, alle Rechtsgebiete aus wohlfahrtsökonomischer Sicht zu ana­ lysieren. Vielmehr soll an wichtigen Ausschnitten und Beispielen des Zi­ vilrechts, insbesondere des Delikts- und Vertragsrechts die neue Sichtwei­ se der ökonomischen Analyse vorgeführt und die Leistungsfähigkeit des Ansatzes innerhalb der rechtswissenschaftlichen Dogmatik zum Ausdruck gebracht werden. Welche Wirkungen Rechtsnormen tatsächlich haben und welche Ziel­ vorstellungen für Rechtsgestaltung und vor allem auch Rechtsanwendun­ gen bestehen, soll in diesem Buch mittels wohlfahrtstheoretischer Analy­ sen untersucht werden. Damit wird nicht nur ein theoretisches Interesse verfolgt, sondern mehr noch die Umsetzung ökonomischer Folgenanalyse und Folgenbewertung bei der Lösung konkreter Rechtsprobleme und bei der Fortbildung des geltenden Rechts. Wir sind der Auffassung, daß die ökonomische Analyse nicht nur die Funktion rechtlicher Normen deutli­ cher macht, sondern auch Rechtslehre und Rechtsprechung unmittelbar und nachhaltig anzuregen und zu befruchten vermag und in Zukunft auch zunehmend beeinflussen wird.

Madame Bovary on Trial

In 1857, following the publication of Madame Bovary, Flaubert was charged with having committed an "outrage to public morality and religion." Dominick LaCapra, an intellectual historian with wide-ranging literary interests, here examines this remarkable trial. LaCapra draws on material from Flaubert’s correspondence, the work of literary critics, and Jean-Paul Sartre’s analysis of Flaubert. LaCapra maintains that Madame Bovary is at the intersection of the traditional and the modern novel, simultaneously invoking conventional expectations and subverting them.

Österreichisches Handelsrecht III: Gesellschaftsrecht (Springers Kurzlehrbücher der Rechtswissenschaft)

Der dritte Band der Reihe "Österreichisches Handelsrecht" vermittelt das Recht der Personen- und Kapitalgesellschaften einschließlich Genossenschaften in der bereits bewährten kompakten Form. Da er, wie die ersten beiden Bände, auch dem Studenten der Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften als Lernbehelf dienen soll, muß er sich ungeachtet der Vielfalt des Stoffs auf das Wesentliche konzentrieren. Doch ermöglichen zahlreiche Zitate dem Interessenten den Zugang zu weiteren Erkenntnisquellen. Mit Bedacht ist in dieser Auflage die Behandlung des Kartellrechts ausgespart, weil der Entwurf eines Kartellgesetzes 1986 noch der parlamentarischen Verabschiedung harrt. Mein spezieller Dank gilt den fünf Damen, welche die Hauptlast der diesmal recht langwierigen und mühevollen Redaktionsarbeit getragen haben: Univ.-Ass. Dr. Astrid Deixler-Hübner, OMR Dr. Ingrid Holzhammer, Dr. Susanne Klinginger, stud. rer. soc. oec. Gisela Savel und - last not least - Frau Ingrid Stickler vom Springer-Verlag.

The Philosophy of Right and Wrong

Trying to understand morality involves grappling with seemingly irreconcilable conflicts between opposing theoretical positions. Originally published in 1986, this book offers a solution in terms of natural law, which involves reflections on the relevant aspects of human nature and the human condition, as well as on the special nature of prescriptive language. It also discusses several major movements in moral philosophy, both classical and contemporary and examines them in the light of a set of tests for an adequate moral theory.

The Price of Health (Philosophy and Medicine #21)

Medicine, morals and money have, for centuries, lived in uneasy cohabitation. Dwelling in the social institution of care of the sick, each needs the other, yet each is embarrassed to admit the other's presence. Morality, in particular, suffers embarrassment, for it is often required to explain how money and medicine are not inimical. Throughout the history of Western medicine, morality's explanations have been con­ sistently ambiguous. Pla.o held that the physician must cultivate the art of getting paid as well as the art of healing, for even if the goal of medicine is healing and not making money, the self-interest of the craftsman is satisfied thereby [4]. Centuries later, a medieval medical moralist, Henri de Mandeville, said: "The chief object of the patient ... is to get cured ... the object of the surgeon, on the other hand, is to obtain his money ... ([5], p. 16). This incompatibility, while general, is not universal. Throughout history, medical practitioners have resolved the problem - either in conscience or to their satisfaction. Some physicians have been so reluctant to make a profit from the ills of those whom they treated that they preferred to live in poverty. Samuel Johnson described his friend, Dr. Robert Levet, a Practiser of Physic: No summons mock'd by chill delay, No petty gain disdain'd by pride; The modest wants of ev'ry day The toil of ev'ry day supplied [3].

Psychiatry — Law and Ethics (Medicolegal Library #5)

The prostitution of the German psychiatric profession into a Nazi inquisitional tool was a major factor producing the total degradation of German medicine and moral­ ity. Its low point was its psychiatrists killing the patients they were sworn to care for, and its other physicians performing inhuman experiments on patients they were pledged to treat. In America also, psychiatry has been performing some of the functions of an In­ quisition: injuring innocents, both patients and dissenters, and exculpating crimi­ nals, terrorists especially. Innocents are being injured both in and out of psychiatric hospitals. The in­ creased fragmentation of care, the augmentation of its discontinuities, and assign­ ing the responsibility for organizing it to non-medical managers are some of the fac­ tors worsening the treatment results of our hospitals. Wrongful deaths, due largely to the specialty's intoxication with drugs while ignoring the importance of common human decency, have become a national scandal.

Psychology in and out of Court: A Critical Examination of Legal Psychology

This book is a critical study of the work of legal psychologists, particularly in the United States, and the assumptions upon which the work is based. It rejects an experimentalist model of legal psychology and claims that the use of such a model is not scientific and therefore superior to other ways of analysing the legal system. It proposes ultimately an approach based upon the interpretive nature of human social experience and its effects upon behavior.
