Horizontal Rights An Institutional Approach

Gautam Bhatia, Freie University Berlin, Germany

This book argues that contemporary constitutionalism is characterised by a ‘default vertical’ approach to constitutional rights ‘Default verticality’ means that while horizontal constitutional rights are not unknown, their existence and application are exceptional and in need of special justification. Taking a 2-part approach, it firstly develops the theoretical and conceptual articulation of the institutional approach The second half of the book applies it to two scenarios: the legal regulation of platform work, and of domestic relationships Global in scope, it draws on examples from the common law world, the United States, and South Africa

Three Liability Regimes for Artificial Intelligence

Algorithmic Actants, Hybrids, Crowds

Anna Beckers, Maastricht University, the Netherlands & Gunther Teubner, Goethe University, Germany

This book proposes 3 liability regimes to combat the wide responsibility gap caused by AI systems Based on information technology studies, the book first develops a threefold typology that distinguishes individual, hybrid and collective machine behaviour. A subsequent social sciences analysis specifies the sociotechnical configurations of this threefold typology and theorises their social risks when being used in social practices: actants raise the risk of digital autonomy, hybrids the risk of double contingency, crowds the risk of opaque interconnections The book demonstrates that it is these specific risks to which the law needs to respond by developing corresponding liability rules

This book explains the impacts of Brexit on the NHS. From staffing to biomedical research, the UK’s post-Brexit agreements have serious implications for health law Drawing conversations and interviews with over 40 health policy stakeholders, their work with Parliaments across the UK, and collaborations with key actors like the NHS Confederation, the book puts the authors’ knowledge centre frame, rather than expressing ‘objective reality’ These conversations show a great deal of faith in law and legal process among ‘ordinary people’, but the opposite from ‘insider elites’ It will be of interest to any reader who cares about the NHS

Liability for Transboundary Pollution at the Intersection of Public and Private International Law

Guillaume Laganière, Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Canada

This book focuses on how public and private international law address civil liability for transboundary pollution

In public international law, civil liability treaties promote the implementation of minimum procedural standards in domestic tort law, implicitly relying on private international law Yet this connection remains poorly understood This study addresses this by exploring how domestic private international law can reflect international environmental law. It investigates civil liability and identifies preferable rules of civil jurisdiction, foreign judgments and choice of law for environmental damage, drawing on Canadian private international law and European law Private, public and environmental lawyers will welcome this important work

From Cosmopolitanism to Human Rights

Olivier de Frouville, University Paris II, France

This book explores a democratic theory of international law Characterised by a back-andforth between theory and practice, it explores the question from 2 perspectives: a theoretical level which reflects and criticises the categories, words and concepts through which international law is understood, and a more applied level focussing on ‘cosmopolitan building sites’ or the practical features of the law, such as the role of civil society in international organisations or reform of the UN Security Council Though written for an academic audience, it will also be of interest to those concerned with how international governance is developing

The Law, Politics and Theory of Treaty Withdrawal

Frederick Cowell, Birkbeck College, UK

This book explores how the law of treaty withdrawal operates In particular, it focuses on withdrawal clauses within multilateral treaties It situates these clauses within the wider context of the international rule of law It goes on to show that for such withdrawal clauses to work, States have to behave as rational actors, averse to damaging their reputation and be willing to accept the existence of a wider rule-bound framework

Using insights from international relations and critical legal theory this book unpacks how and why the law of withdrawal operates and the forces that threaten its operation in the future
