Events such as the global financial crisis have helped reveal that the drivers and contours of governance on a national and international level remain a mystery in many respects. This remains so despite the ever-increasing complexity and sophistication in the management and understanding of economic, legal and political spheres of global society. Set in this context, this timely Research Handbook is the first to explicitly address the constitutive relationship between law and political economy. With scholarly contributions from diverse disciplinary and geographic backgrounds, this authoritative book provides an expansive overview of the legal architecture of the global political economy. It covers, in three parts, topics surrounding money and markets, the relations of organization, and commodities, land and resources. Scholars and policymakers as well as undergraduate and postgraduate law students interested in the intersection of socio-political, economic, and legal dynamics of governance will find this book a thought-provoking and insightful resource.

Contemporary critical analyses of legal education indicate that legal education is undemocratic as it is based on a discipline that produces subjects who obey hierarchies, are free from the habit of criticism and are ready to self-sacrifice for promotion in the social hierarchy. At the same time, critical analyses offer the very passive vision of the law student as merely 'being processed' through the educational grinder. Paradoxically, in doing so they confirm the vision they criticize. This article argues that, by adopting a pragmatic philosophical perspective, it is possible to go beyond this one-sided picture. Over the past few decades, there has been an increase in 'practical' attitudes in legal education. Socrates' model of didactics, clinical education and moot courts are giving rise to institutionalized ideas as structural elements of legal education, owing to which a purely disciplinary pedagogy may be superseded. All these practices allow students to accept and confront the viewpoints of others. Education completed in harmony with these ideas promotes an active, critical member of community, who is ready to advance justified moral judgements, and as such is compliant with pragmatic ethics of democracy.

State practice shows the increase use of drones in internal armed conflict. The discussion is conducted to answer whether national law adopts humanitarian law principles on the use of drones in internal armed conflict. Qualitative analysis is conducted with primary and secondary legal materials. The Regulation of the Minister of Transportation No. 90/2015 on Unmanned Aircraft Operation Control in airspace served by Indonesia and Minister of Defense Regulation No. 26/2016 on the use of drones for defense and security affairs does not contain the distinction principle, proportionality principle and precautionary principle. It is interpreted that the clauses in both rules on licensing, airspace classification and its activities can be used as a first step in intelligence gathering which will be useful in applying the distinction principle at the time of internal armed conflict. It is necessary to formulate the rules in detail in Military Manual that adopt humanitarian law principles. Keywords: drone, humanitarian law principles, Indonesian legislation

In recent years, the role of the environmental risk management has become increasingly significant to multinational corporations. Corporations from the United States and elsewhere are now undertaking aggressive assessments of environmental regulatory compliance, and are incorporating environmental due diligence into transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and divestitures. The first step toward assessing compliance often involves interpretation of complex, vaguely written environmental statutes and regulations. Matters are made more difficult by the fact that each governmental structure is different, and environmental controls inevitably will be administered in ways unfamiliar to foreign companies, even in countries which have emulated the United States' system of environmental regulation. This article provides an overview of environmental requirements in Canada, primarily from the viewpoint of one already familiar with the United States regulatory framework. The article begins with an introduction to Federal laws and to the interrelationships between Federal and Provincial law and enforcement. It then focuses in greater detail on environmental laws in Ontario. That province is second only to Canada as the largest trading partner of the United States. American businesses conduct an increasingly diverse array of operations in Ontario, including manufacturing, real estate development, and capital investment, all of which come under extensive environmental regulation. Ontario is also the most industrialized province of Canada, and accounts for approximately one-half of the total volume of hazardous waste generated in Canada.

In many regions around the world, the governance of migration increasingly involves local authorities and actors. This edited volume introduces theoretical contributions that, departing from the 'local turn' in migration studies, highlight the distinct role that legal processes, debates, and instruments play in driving this development. Drawing on historical and contemporary case studies, it demonstrates how paying closer analytical attention to legal questions reveals the inherent tensions and contradictions of migration governance. By investigating socio-legal phenomena such as sanctuary jurisdictions, it further explores how the law structures ongoing processes of (re)scaling in this domain. Beyond offering conceptual and empirical discussions of local migration governance, this volume also directly confronts the pressing normative questions that follow from the growing involvement of local authorities and actors.
