Human Rights Law in Perspective
Rethinking Human Rights Critical Insights from Palestinian Youth
Erika Jiménez, Queen's University Belfast, UK
Drawing on research in the occupied West Bank, this book explores the three layers of marginalisation faced by Palestinian young people—the occupation; the Palestinian pseudostate; and patriarchal structures—to show how these barriers influence their understanding of, and scepticism towards, human rights. Influenced by decolonialist theories, this book illuminates how space needs to be created for the counter-narratives of the oppressed in human rights discourse which may not align with more orthodox representations of human rights It contends that human rights in the Palestinian context (and beyond) needs to be critiqued, decolonised and ultimately transformed

Regularisations of Irregularly Staying Migrants in the EU
A Comparative Legal Analysis of Austria, Germany and Spain
Kevin Fredy Hinterberger
This book addresses a pressing problem regarding the EU’s return policy: the low return rate of irregularly staying migrants
The EU is not making any significant progress in enforcing the rules it has laid down in the Return Directive The legislation of EU Member States may, however, serve as a source for solutions to ‘combat’ this
The book compares the system of regularisations in Austria, Germany and Spain, showing that differentiated systems of regularisation exist at a national level However, EU regularisations supplementing the present return policy would be more effective at ‘combating’ irregular migration at EU level

Just Price Theory A Reassessment
Joaquín Reyes, Finis Terrae University, Chile
This book presents an original theory of the just price, and it is a welcome addition to scholarship on a radically underdeveloped field. This work reassesses the age-old idea that there is a just price of things, one that goes beyond the Scholastic tradition of the just price and its exclusive concern with commutative justice There is more to just price theory than the concern for keeping equality of value between goods exchanged Modern concerns over efficiency, autonomy, and distributive justice, can also find a place within a theory of the just price.

Jure Vidmar, Maastricht University, the Netherlands
This book develops a new theory of territorialism and international legal status of territories It (i) defines the concept of territory, explaining how territories are created; (ii) redefines the concept of statehood, illustrating that statehood (rather than the statehood criteria) is territorial legal status established in the formal sources of international law; and (iii) grounds non-state territorial entities in the sources of international law to explain their international legal status This fresh new theoretical perspective has both scholarly and practical importance, providing a tool helping decision-makers and judges in the practical application of international law

This book presents a socio-legal examination of national and devolved-level developments in social protection in the UK, through the eyes of politicians and officials at the heart of this process.
The book reflects on the impact of austerity, the referendum on Scottish independence and subsequent changes to the devolution settlement, Northern Ireland’s hesitant moves away from parity with Westminster in social protection, withdrawal from the European Union (Brexit), and the possible retreat from austerity during the COVID-19 pandemic
