Suitable for scholars and students studying energy and

The emblem book was invented by the humanist lawyer Andrea
Alciato in 1531. The preponderance of juridical and normative
themes, of images of rule and infraction, of obedience and error
in the emblem books is critical to their purpose and interest.
This book outlines the history of the emblem tradition as a
juridical genre, along with the concept of, and training in,
obiter depicta, in things seen along the way to judgment. It
argues that these books depict norms and abuses in classically
derived forms that become the visual standards of governance.
Despite the plethora of vivid figures and virtual symbols that
define and transmit law, contemporary lawyers are not trained in
the critical apprehension of the visible. This book is the first
to reconstruct the history of the emblem tradition, evidencing
the extent to which a gallery of images of law already exists
and structuring how the public realm is displayed, made present
and viewed.

Hobbes's political thought provokes a perennial fascination.
It has become particularly prominent in recent years, with the
surge of scholarly interest evidenced by a number of monographs
in political theory and philosophy. At the same time, there has
been a turn in legal scholarship towards political theory in a
way that engages recognisably Hobbesian themes, for example the
relationship between security and liberty. However, there is
surprisingly little engagement with Hobbes's views on legal
theory in general and on certain legal topics, despite the fact
that Hobbes devoted whole works to legal inquiry and gave law a
prominent role in his works focused on politics. This volume
seeks to remedy this gap by providing the first collection of
specially commissioned essays devoted to Hobbes and the law.

Hobbes, Th. (Thomas). prof. of Jurisprudence.
A dialogue between a philosopher and a student, of the
common Laws of England. Questions relative to Hereditary
right [Text] / Th. Hobbes; ed. by A. Cromartie, Q.
Skinner. -Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013. -lxxi,
192 p.; 23,5 x 16,2 cm.-(Clarendon Press Clarendon Edition
of the Works of Thomas Hobbes).-Bibliogr. in interlenear
references and on p. 179 - 180.
Historians of philosophy and of political and legal thought;
scholars and students working on 17th century history and
literature.
This volume in the Clarendon Edition of the Works of Thomas
Hobbes contains A dialogue between a philosopher and a student,
of the common laws of England, edited by Alan Cromartie,
supplemented by the important fragment on the issue of regal
succession, 'Questions relative to Hereditary Right', discovered
and edited by Quentin Skinner. The former work is the last of
Hobbes's major political writings. As a critique of common law
by a great philosopher, it should be essential reading for
anybody interested in English political thought or legal theory.
Although it was written when Hobbes was at least eighty, it is a
lively piece of work that goes beyond a recapitulation of
earlier Hobbesian doctrines, not least in applying his central
ideas to the details of the English constitution. This edition
supplies the extensive annotation on matters of legal and
historical detail that is required by non-specialist readers; it
also assists students by offering cross-references to other
treatises. Cromartie's introduction is an authoritative account
of seventeenth-century thinking about the common law and of
Hobbes's shifting attitudes towards it. It has often been
suspected that the book was motivated by fear of being burned
for heresy. Cromartie disentangles the complex evidence (
scattered across a number of late works) that documents this
fear's development, and shows why the philosopher's acute
anxieties eventually led him to write a legal treatise. In
clarifying these questions, the edition casts fresh light upon
his attitude to law and sovereignty. The second piece takes the
form of a question put to Hobbes about the right of succession
under hereditary monarchies, together with Hobbes's response.
The question is in the handwriting of the fourth Earl of
Devonshire, the son of the third Earl, whom Hobbes had tutored
in the 1630s. He asks Hobbes whether an heir can be excluded if
he is incapable of protecting his prospective subjects. The
question of 'exclusion' became the most burning issue in English
politics in the course of 1679, when a bill to exclude the
future James II was introduced into the House of Commons. Hobbes
answers with a robust defence of hereditary right, in the course
of which he also makes some important general observations about
the concept of a right. The manuscript is also of special
interest as it constitutes Hobbes's last word on politics. It
was almost certainly written in the summer of 1679, less than
six months before Hobbes's death.

Any effort to understand how law works has to take seriously
its main players – judges. Like any performance, judging should
be evaluated by reference to those who are its best exponents.
Not surprisingly, the debate about what makes a 'great judge' is
as heated and inconclusive as the debate about the purpose and
nature of law itself. History shows that those who are
candidates for a judicial hall of fame are game changers who
oblige us to rethink what it is to be a good judge. So the best
of judges must tread a thin line between modesty and hubris;
they must be neither mere umpires nor demigods. The eight judges
showcased in this book demonstrate that, if the test of good
judging is not about getting it right, but doing it well, then
the measure of great judging is about setting new standards for
what counts as judging well.

reassessment by a new generation of theorists. This book pursues
that interest with specific reference to international law. It
presents a sustained and fascinating exploration of the
pertinence of Marxist ideas, concepts and analytical practices
for international legal enquiry from a range of angles. Essays
consider the relationship between Marxism and critical
approaches to international law, the legacy of Soviet
international legal theory, the bearing of Marxism for the
analysis of international trade law and human rights, and the
significance for international legal enquiry of such Marxist
concepts as the commodity, praxis and exploitation.

Building on the extensive interest in company law and

protection of company investors in the CIS. The different
contributions focus on issues such as basic shareholder rights,
shareholder rights in special circumstances, cumulative voting,
and protection through securities markets regulation. The
discussion centers on the problems of domestic legal reform and
the extent to which international legal standards and best
practice are reflected in the process. In doing so, it offers a
thorough comparative law analysis covering all twelve CIS
countries. Importantly, the book accords a special place to the
contribution that the model legislation adopted within the CIS
framework makes to the process of legal reform and voluntary

СОДЕРЖ.: Part I. Common Law -- Part II. Continental Law --
Part III. Imperial Law.
In this collection of essays, leading legal historians address
significant topics in the history of judges and judging, with
comparisons not only between British, American and Commonwealth
experience, but also with the judiciary in civil law countries.
It is not the law itself, but the process of law-making in
courts, that is the focus of inquiry. Contributors describe and
analyse aspects of judicial activity, in the widest possible
legal and social contexts, across two millennia. The essays
cover English common law, continental customary law and ius
commune, and aspects of the common law system in the British
Empire. The volume is innovative in its approach to legal
history. None of the essays offer straight doctrinal exegesis;
none take refuge in old-fashioned judicial biography. The volume
is a selection of the best papers from the 18th British Legal
History Conference.

Although he is widely regarded as the 'founding father' of
realism in International Relations, this book argues that Hans J.
Morgenthau's legal background has largely been neglected in
discussions of his place in the 'canon' of IR theory. Morgenthau
was a legal scholar of German-Jewish origins who arrived in the
United States in 1938. He went on to become a distinguished
professor of Political Science and a prominent commentator on
international affairs. Rather than locate Morgenthau's
intellectual heritage in the German tradition of 'Realpolitik',
this book demonstrates how many of his central ideas and
concepts stem from European and American legal debates of the
1920s and 1930s. This is an ambitious attempt to recast the
debate on Morgenthau and will appeal to IR scholars interested
in the history of realism as well as international lawyers
engaged in debates regarding the relationship between law and
politics, and the history of International Law.

of public international law. This fourth edition includes an
