Aboriginal Title: The Modern Jurisprudence of Tribal Land Rights
by P.G. McHughAboriginal title represents one of the most remarkable and controversial legal developments in the common law world of the late-twentieth century. Overnight it changed the legal position of indigenous peoples. The common law doctrine gave sudden substance to the tribes' claims to justiciable property rights over their traditional lands, catapulting these up the national agenda and jolting them out of a previous culture of governmental inattention. In a series of breakthrough cases national courts adopted the argument developed first in western Canada, and then New Zealand and Australia by a handful of influential scholars. By the beginning of the millennium the doctrine had spread to Malaysia, Belize, southern Africa and had a profound impact upon the rapid development of international law of indigenous peoples' rights. This book is a history of this doctrine and the explosion of intellectual activity arising from this inrush of legalism into the tribes' relations with the Anglo settler state. The author is one of the key scholars involved from the doctrine's appearance in the early 1980s as an exhortation to the courts, and a figure who has both witnessed and contributed to its acceptance and subsequent pattern of development. He looks critically at the early conceptualisation of the doctrine, its doctrinal elaboration in Canada and Australia - the busiest jurisdictions - through a proprietary paradigm located primarily (and constrictively) inside adjudicative processes. He also considers the issues of inter-disciplinary thought and practice arising from national legal systems' recognition of aboriginal land rights, including the emergent and associated themes of self-determination that surfaced more overtly during the 1990s and after. The doctrine made modern legal history, and it is still making it.
The Aboriginal Tent Embassy: Sovereignty, Black Power, Land Rights and the State
by Gary Foley Edwina Howell Andrew SchaapThe 1972 Aboriginal Embassy was one of the most significant indigenous political demonstrations of the twentieth century. What began as a simple response to a Prime Ministerial statement on Australia Day 1972, evolved into a six-month political stand-off between radical Aboriginal activists and a conservative Australian government. The dramatic scenes in July 1972 when police forcibly removed the Embassy from the lawns of the Australian Houses of Parliament were transmitted around the world. The demonstration increased international awareness of the struggle for justice by Aboriginal people, brought an end to the national government policy of assimilation and put Aboriginal issues firmly onto the national political agenda. The Embassy remains today and on Australia Day 2012 was again the focal point for national and international attention, demonstrating the intensity that the Embassy can still provoke after forty years of just sitting there. If, as some suggest, the Embassy can only ever be removed by Aboriginal people achieving their goals of Land Rights, Self-Determination and economic independence then it is likely to remain for some time yet. ‘This book explores the context of this moment that captured the world’s attention by using, predominantly, the voices of the people who were there. More than a simple oral history, some of the key players represented here bring with them the imprimatur of the education they were to gain in the era after the Tent Embassy. This is an act of radicalisation. The Aboriginal participants in subversive political action have now broken through the barriers of access to academia and write as both eye-witnesses and also as trained historians, lawyers, film-makers. It is another act of subversion, a continuing taunt to the entrenched institutions of the dominant culture, part of a continuum of political thought and action.’ (Larissa Behrendt, Professor of Law, Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning, University of Technology Sydney)

Aboriginal Peoples, Colonialism and International Law: Raw Law (Indigenous Peoples and the Law)
by Irene WatsonThis work is the first to assess the legality and impact of colonisation from the viewpoint of Aboriginal law, rather than from that of the dominant Western legal tradition. It begins by outlining the Aboriginal legal system as it is embedded in Aboriginal people’s complex relationship with their ancestral lands. This is Raw Law: a natural system of obligations and benefits, flowing from an Aboriginal ontology. This book places Raw Law at the centre of an analysis of colonisation – thereby decentring the usual analytical tendency to privilege the dominant structures and concepts of Western law. From the perspective of Aboriginal law, colonisation was a violation of the code of political and social conduct embodied in Raw Law. Its effects were damaging. It forced Aboriginal peoples to violate their own principles of natural responsibility to self, community, country and future existence. But this book is not simply a work of mourning. Most profoundly, it is a celebration of the resilience of Aboriginal ways, and a call for these to be recognised as central in discussions of colonial and postcolonial legality. Written by an experienced legal practitioner, scholar and political activist, AboriginalPeoples, Colonialism and International Law: Raw Law will be of interest to students and researchers of Indigenous Peoples Rights, International Law and Critical Legal Theory.

Aboriginal Customary Law: A Source of Common Law Title to Land
by Ulla SecherDescribed as 'ground-breaking' in Kent McNeil's Foreword, this book develops an alternative approach to conventional Aboriginal title doctrine. It explains that aboriginal customary law can be a source of common law title to land in former British colonies, whether they were acquired by settlement or by conquest or cession from another colonising power. The doctrine of Common Law Aboriginal Customary Title provides a coherent approach to the source, content, proof and protection of Aboriginal land rights which overcomes problems arising from the law as currently understood and leads to more just results. The doctrine's applicability in Australia, Canada and South Africa is specifically demonstrated. While the jurisprudential underpinnings for the doctrine are consistent with fundamental common law principles, the author explains that the Australian High Court's decision in Mabo provides a broader basis for the doctrine: a broader basis which is consistent with a re-evaluation of case-law from former British colonies in Africa, as well as from the United States, New Zealand and Canada. In this context, the book proffers a reconceptualisation of the Crown's title to land in former colonies and a reassessment of conventional doctrines, including the doctrine of tenure and the doctrine of continuity. 'With rare exceptions ... the existing literature does not probe as deeply or question fundamental assumptions as thoroughly as Dr Secher does in her research. She goes to the root of the conceptual problems around the legal nature of Indigenous land rights and their vulnerability to extinguishment in the former colonial empire of the Crown. This book is a formidable contribution that I expect will be influential in shifting legal thinking on Indigenous land rights in progressive new directions.'

Aboriginal Child Welfare, Self-Government and the Rights of Indigenous Children: Protecting the Vulnerable Under International Law
by Sonia Harris-ShortThis volume addresses the contentious and topical issue of aboriginal self-government over child welfare. Using case studies from Australia and Canada, it discusses aboriginal child welfare in historical and comparative perspectives and critically examines recent legal reforms and changes in the design, management and delivery of child welfare services aimed at securing the 'decolonization' of aboriginal children and families. Within this context, the author identifies the limitations of reconciling the conflicting demands of self-determination and sovereignty and suggests that international law can provide more nuanced and culturally sensitive solutions. Referring to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, it is argued that the effective decolonization of aboriginal child welfare requires a journey well beyond the single issue of child welfare to the heart of the debate over self-government, self-determination and sovereignty in both national and international law.

The Abolition of Antitrust
by Nathan Edmonson Gary HullThe Abolition of Antitrust asserts that antitrust laws--on economic, legal, and moral grounds--are bad, and provides convincing evidence supporting arguments for their total abolition. Every year, new antitrust prosecutions arise in the U.S. courts, as in the cases against 3M and Visa/MasterCard, as well as a number of ongoing antitrust cases, such as those involving Microsoft and college football's use of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). Gary Hull and the contributing authors show that these cases--as well as the Sherman Anti-Trust Act itself--are based on an erroneous interpretation of the history of American business, premised on bad economics. They equivocate between economic and political power--the power to produce versus the power to use physical force. For Hull, anti-trust prosecutions are based on a horrible moral inversion: that it is acceptable to sacrifice America's best producers.The contributors explain how key antitrust ideas, for instance, "monopoly," "restraint of trade," and "anticompetitive behavior," have been used to justify prosecution, and then make clear why those ideas are false. They sketch the historical, legal, economic, and moral reasoning that gave rise to the passage and growth of antitrust legislation. All of the theoretical points in this volume are woven around a number of fascinating cases, both historical and current--including the Charles River Bridge, Alcoa, General Electric, and Kellogg/General Mills. This is a dynamic and accessible work that is not simply a polemical argument for a particular policy position.Designed for the uninformed but educated layman, The Abolition of Antitrust also makes positive arguments in defense of wealth creation, business, and profit, explains the proper role of government, and offers a rational view of the meaning of contract and economic freedom.

La abolición del tormento: El inédito Discurso sobre la injusticia del apremio judicial (c. 1795), de Pedro García del Cañuelo (North Carolina Studies in the Romance Languages and Literatures #314)
by José Manuel Pereiro OteroJunto a la erradicacion de la esclavitud y de la pena capital, la abolicion del tormento configura durante el siglo XVIII una de las disputas intelectuales mas incisivas de la Europa continental. Una importante e inedita pieza de esta controversia juridica, politica y social en la Espana de la epoca es el Discurso sobre la injusticia del apremio judicial, donde se argumenta a favor de prohibir este y otros metodos legales de coercion fisica y mental. A mediados de la ultima decada del setecientos, su autor, el abogado Pedro Garcia del Canuelo, trata de publicarlo y busca la mediacion de Manuel Godoy. Sin embargo, el futuro Principe de la Paz rechaza proteger el manuscrito y advierte al autor sobre posibles repercusiones si continua examinando dicho asunto. En consecuencia, aunque el titulo ha pasado al registro historico en contadas referencias indirectas, su contenido se creia perdido. La abolicion del tormento no solamente rescata la figura y el trabajo de su autor, sino que analiza, transcribe y reproduce el texto. Ademas, aparte de estudiar las repercusiones de este debate intelectual en ensayos, dramas, textos narrativos y articulos periodisticos, examina los fundamentos filosoficos y legales de la controversia sobre la tortura juridica en Europa y, particularmente, en Espana. La disputa en la que participa el Discurso sobre la injusticia del apremio judicial refleja las tensiones politicas, juridicas y sociales de la epoca, ya que el debate sobre la legitimidad de la tortura implica considerar planteamientos cuya relevancia no se limita al siglo XVIII. Entre ellos se encuentran, por ejemplo, como se puede articular la relacion entre legalidad y justicia, que criterios se usan para definir a un ser humano, que principios establecen el valor intrinseco de la existencia individual, asi como que circunstancias condicionan la igualdad ante la ley, y cuales son los limites del poder legitimo cuando este suspende los derechos naturales, politicos y civiles del ciudadano. Ampliamente documentado, este estudio es de particular interes para quienes reflexionen sobre los cambios en los procesos legales y en las practicas politicas durante la transicion entre el Antiguo Regimen y el liberalismo moderno.

Abhilfemaßnahmen in der Fusionskontrolle und Ausgleichsmaßnahmen in der Banken-Beihilfenkontrolle: Eine rechtliche und ökonomische Betrachtung
by Wanli ZhouWanli Zhou untersucht den Zweck, die Gestaltung und die Durchsetzung von Abhilfe- und Ausgleichsmaßnahmen in der europäischen Fusionskontrolle und Banken-Beihilfenkontrolle sowie der chinesischen Fusionskontrolle. Die Europäische Kommission kann Abhilfemaßnahmen ergreifen, um Wettbewerbsbedenken von Zusammenschlüssen und Wettbewerbsverzerrung der Banken-Beihilfen zu beseitigen – ebenso die chinesische Kartellbehörde. Wettbewerbsschutz ist allerdings nicht der Alleinzweck dieser Maßnahmen. Der Autor zeigt auf, dass Rechtsinstrumente Informationsprobleme bei der Gestaltung und Durchführung der Maßnahmen lösen können.
Abhängige Arbeit und gemeinsame Zweckverfolgung: Eine Untersuchung der Anwendungsvoraussetzungen yon Arbeitsrecht und Gesellschaftsrecht für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland und die Schweiz
by Oliver RommeDie Schrift befaßt sich für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland und die Schweiz mit der Abgrenzungsproblematik zwischen Arbeitsrecht und Gesellschaftsrecht oder - anders gewendet - zwischen abhängiger und selbstständiger (unternehmerischer) Beschäftigung. Rechtsprechung und Schrifttum haben für jedes dieser Rechtsgebiete umfängliche Kriterienkataloge erarbeitet, von denen insbesondere der arbeitsrechtliche im Verlauf der vergangenen 15 Jahre vor dem Hintergrund einer anhaltend hohen Arbeitslosenquote und der sich ausbreitenden Globalisierung der Ökonomie an Plausibilität eingebüßt hat. Das vermag schon allein deshalb nicht zu verwundern, weil die rechtsgebietsspezifische Theorienbildung nicht im Hinblick auf die komplementäre Fragestellung des jeweils anderen Rechtsgebiets erfolgt ist und oftmals Kriterien als unterscheidungskräftig benannt werden, die den zu unterscheidenden Beschäftigungsarten gleichermaßen eigen sind.
Abgrenzungsmaßstäbe im Abkommensrecht: Veranlassungsprinzip und Fremdvergleich bei der Betriebsstättengewinnabgrenzung (PwC-Studien zum Unternehmens- und Internationalen Steuerrecht #10)
by Solvejg GlatzAusgehend von dem Veranlassungsprinzip als tätigungsbezogenem Grundprinzip der Abgrenzung und dessen Konkretisierung durch den Fremdvergleichsgrundsatz analysiert die Arbeit die bisherige BFH-Rechtsprechung und diskutiert ausgewählte Fragestellungen der abkommensrechtlichen Betriebsstättengewinnabgrenzung. Es wird herausgearbeitet, dass sowohl dem Art. 7 OECD-MA als auch den sog. Betriebsstättenvorbehalten ein einheitlicher veranlassungsbasierter Abgrenzungsmaßstab zugrunde liegt, der an das spezifisch abkommensrechtliche Verständnis der Unternehmenstätigkeit anknüpft. Nach kommentarähnlicher Darstellung und Diskussion der Änderungen durch den Authorized OECD Approach (AOA) wird gezeigt, dass auch der dem AOA zugrunde liegende Abgrenzungsmaßstab veranlassungsbasiert ist, wenngleich es aufgrund der abweichenden Anknüpfung an Personalfunktionen im Einzelfall zu unterschiedlichen Zuordnungsergebnissen kommen kann. Zugleich werden Vorschläge für einzelne gesetzgeberische Nachbesserungen der Umsetzungsvorschrift des § 1 Abs. 5 AStG gemacht.

Abfindungsobergrenzen für Vorstandsmitglieder: Wirkungen der DCGK-Empfehlung (Schriften aus dem Centrum für Management (CfM))
by Ute Schottmüller-EinwagIn einer Analyse umfangreicher empirischer Daten zu Entsprechenserklärungen und tatsächlichen Höhen der Vorstandsabfindungen von börsennotierten Unternehmen zeigt Ute Schottmüller-Einwag, dass die empfohlenen Obergrenzen trotz anderslautender Erklärungen mehrheitlich überschritten werden. Die Institutionenökonomik, die Rechtswissenschaft und die Soziologie liefern verschiedene theoretische Erklärungen dafür, warum das Comply-or-Explain-Prinzip des § 161 AktG, das der Konzeption der Empfehlungen des DCGK zugrunde liegt, bei der untersuchten Empfehlung versagt. Auf Basis dieser anspruchsvollen interdisziplinären Analysen leitet die Autorin einen Gestaltungsvorschlag für die Praxis ab, welcher der Empfehlung zu einer stärkeren Wirkung verhelfen kann.

Abendländische Rechtsphilosophie: Ihre Grundlagen und Hauptprobleme in Geschichtlicher Schau (Rechts- und Staatswissenschaften #16)
by Alfred VerdrossEbenso wie die erste Auflage verfolgt auch die zweite Auflage dieses Buches nicht nur das Ziel, die abendHindische Rechtsphilosophie in ihren groBen Linien nachzuzeichnen, sondern auch in einer Auseinandersetzung mit ihr zur rechtsphilosophischen Erkenntnis vorzudringen. Sie geht da bei von der Erwagung aus, daB wir zwar die in der Geschichte ange hauften Gedanken kennen miissen, urn nicht ins Bodenlose zu versinken, dabei aber nicht vergessen diirfen, daB die Betrachtung der Geschichte fUr uns nur insoweit von Wert ist, als sie zur Losung der Gegenwarts probleme beitragt. Daher folgt auf den historischen, durch verschiedene Erganzungen erweiterten Hauptteil ein ganz neu bearbeiteter Abschnitt, der die gewonnenen Ergebnisse in einer kritischen Wiirdigung zusammen faBt und sich auch bemiiht, einige MiBverstandnisse zwischen der Natur rechtslehre und dem Rechtspositivismus zu bereinigen. Wie sich schon aus dem Titel dieses Buches ergibt, beschrankt sich die zweite Auflage ebenfalls auf die Darstellung der Rechtsphilosophie des Abendlandes. Sie behandelt daher weder die Rechtsphilosophie des byzantinisch-russischen Kulturkreises noch auch die Ausstrahlungen der abendlandischen Rechtsphilosophie in andere Weltteile. Dabei bin ich mir aber durchaus bewuBt, daB erst eine Rechtsphilosphie, welche die Kulturen aller VOlker berii

The ABC of the Opt: A Legal Lexicon of the Israeli Control over the Occupied Palestinian Territory (PDF)
by Orna Ben-Naftali Michael Sfard Hedi ViterboIsrael's half-a-century long rule over the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and some of its surrounding legal issues, have been the subject of extensive academic literature. Yet, to date, there has been no comprehensive, theoretically-informed, and empirically-based academic study of the role of various legal mechanisms, norms, and concepts in shaping, legitimizing, and responding to the Israeli control regime. This book seeks to fill this gap, while shedding new light on the subject. Through the format of an A-Z legal lexicon, it critically reflects on, challenges, and redefines the language, knowledge, and practices surrounding the Israeli control regime. Taken together, the entries illuminate the relation between global and local forces - legal, political, and cultural - in Israel and Palestine. The study of the terms involved provides insights that are relevant to other situations elsewhere in the world, particularly with regard to belligerent occupation, the law's role in relation to state violence, and justice.
