"Through its careful consideration of the status of armed groups within a complex legal landscape, this insightful book identifies and examines the tensions that arise due to their actions existing across a spectrum of legality and illegality. Considering the number of armed groups currently exercising governance functions and controlling territory and population in the world, its analysis is especially topical. Armed Groups and International Law provides essential peer-reviewed analyses of the place of armed groups in the legal framework. A collaborative effort between eminent scholars from different disciplines, it summarizes various points of contention within the study of these armed actors, detailing examples that are highly relevant to the contemporary world, such as Afghanistan and Syria. Addressing law-making, rebel governance and accountability, this illuminating book will be of great benefit to students of international humanitarian law, human rights law, international criminal law, and public international law seeking to expand their understanding of the treatment of armed groups within the international legal system. It will also serve as a useful resource for practitioners working in the area of civilian protection and academics conducting research on armed conflict from a variety of disciplines"-- Provided by publisher.

"Today, law is no longer homogenous or unquestioned. Different overlapping legal systems constantly interfere with one another, both on an international level, in complex transnational contexts such as the European Union or human rights law, but also in the context of cultural diversity or conflicts between religious norms and civil institutions, between minorities and the power of the state. On the other hand, the neutrality of law is also under growing pressure, be it from different global transnational players, or from within nation states where calls are made to adapt law to the will of 'the people.' The heated European debate on the 'refugee crisis' has made it manifest that law is more necessary than ever and yet fundamentally contested, perhaps even caught in contradictions and self-limitations. At the same time, the current perspective on legal problems allows us to address issues of diversity and the role of Europe in the globalized world more clearly. The articles of this book take these recent developments and debates as a starting point to discuss from the perspective of different disciplines the pressing question of how to live together in the new millennium and how to figure the long history of law before, besides, and after the dominant paradigm of state law"--Publisher's description.

• Conclusion.

Moving from the scientific revolution to the 19th-century rise of legal codes, Berkowitz tells the story of how lawyers and philosophers invented legal science to preserve law’s claim to moral authority. He finds that the subordination of law to science actually transformed law from an ethical order into a tool for social and economic ends.

• What are presidential constitutional conventions?
• Presidents in constitutions
• Presidential constitutional conventions in Central Europe
• Constitutional conventions and constitutional courts
• Conclusion.

"This research monograph examines presidential constitutional conventions and the role they play in the political systems of four Central European countries - the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland. As primarily unwritten rules of constitutional practice, constitutional conventions represent political arrangements and as such are political in origin. Not only this, constitutional conventions, in general, and presidential constitutional conventions, in particular, have significant political implications. They shape both the everyday operation and character of regimes. Central Europe represents a particularly useful example on which this role of constitutional conventions can be studied and assessed." -- Provided by publisher.

"This book describes scientific theory and methods for investigating the development, implementation, and effects of public health law. The empirical study of law is an exercise applying normal scientific methods. There is no special science of public health law research. Epidemiology, economics, physiology, and sociology do not change when law is the topic of investigation. That said, there are unique challenges to studying law, and a set of theory, measurement, and research design tools that specifically help to meet those challenges. This book is not a general primer on scientific research methods. Its focus is on the problems that arise in legal epidemiology - and their solutions. And so it is intended for many kinds of readers: experienced social science researchers who are interested in adding public health law research to their repertoire; experienced health scientists who wish to expand their research from interventions at the individual or small-group levels to community or society-wide "treatments" operating through law; legal scholars interested in how social scientists approach the study of law; policy analysts seeking to enhance their toolkit to include empirical evaluations of public health laws and policies; students and novice scientists who can hone their general skills through the study of public health law; and non-scientists who are seeking a general orientation to legal epidemiology"-- Provided by publisher.
