A Critical Appraisal
This book brings clarity to international law regulating jurisdictional immunities in employment matters. Three main arguments lie at its core. Firstly, it challenges the belief that international immunity law requires staff disputes be subject to immunity. Secondly, it argues that welldefined standards of limited immunity applicable to employment litigation against states, IOs, and diplomatic/consular agents, can be identified. Thirdly, it argues that the interaction between the applicable immunity rules and rules of international human rights law results in a legal regime that provides protection to employees while safeguarding employers. This is a much needed study into an underresearched field.

The Right to the Continuous Improvement of Living Conditions
Responding to Complex Global Challenges Edited by Jessie Hohmann & Beth Goldblatt, both of University of Technology Sydney, Australia What does the right to the continuous improvement of living conditions really mean and how can it contribute to social change? This book explores how this underdeveloped right can have valuable application in response to global problems of poverty, inequality and climate destruction, and asks what exactly is covered by ‘living conditions’. It locates the right within broader philosophical and political debates and considers its application to issues of gender and care, whilst also assessing the challenges to its realisation.

Vol. 2: Comparisons and Theories
The Legacies of Institutionalisation Disability, Law and Policy in the ‘Deinstitutionalised’ Community
Edited by Claire Spivakovsky, University of Melbourne, Australia, Linda Steele, University of Technology Sydney, Australia & Penelope Weller, RMIT University, Australia This is the first book to examine the legal dynamics of deinstitutionalisation. It considers the extent to which some contemporary laws, policies and practices affecting people with disabilities are moving towards the promised end point of enhanced social and political participation in the community, while others may instead reinstate, continue or legitimate historical practices associated with this population’s institutionalisation. Bringing together 20 contributors, the book speaks to overarching themes of segregation and inequality, interlocking forms of oppression and rights-based advancements in law, policy and practice.

Tax Law, State-Building and the Constitution
Dominic de Cogan, University of Cambridge, UK This book looks at how tax is intertwined with constitutional law and the state in the UK’s history. The author interrogates 5 key claims: there is an overlap between the concerns of tax and constitutional lawyers; the tax system is affected by constitutional change; decisions taken in the tax field are likely to have a reverse influence on the constitution; these relationships are heavily context-dependent; by acknowledging tax as an important part within the constitution we might understand tax and constitutional law better.
