Starting in the latter part of the 20th century, the law of sexual offenses, especially in the West, began to reflect a striking divergence. On the one hand, the law became significantly more punitive in its approach to sexual conduct that is nonconsensual, as evidenced by a major expansion in the definition of rape and sexual assault, and the creation of new offenses like sex trafficking, child grooming, and revenge porn. On the other hand, it became markedly more permissive in how it dealt with conduct that is consensual, a trend that can be seen, for example, in the legalisation or decriminalisation of sodomy, adultery, and adult pornography. This book explores the conceptual and normative implications of this divergence.

Human dignity is a classical concept in public international law, and a core element of the human rights machinery built after the Second World War. This book reflects on the past, present and future of the concept of human dignity, focusing on the role of international lawyers in shaping the idea and their potential and actual role in protecting the rights of certain vulnerable groups of contemporary societies, such as migrant women at risk of domestic servitude, the LGB community and indigenous peoples

A comprehensive study of transfer of technology for deep sea-bed mining under the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention and the controversies that have arisen about it. The book also discusses transfer of technology in international law in general and examines developments since the adoption of the 1982 Convention. These include national mining legislations of industrialized countries, extensive work by the Preparatory Commission for the establishment of the International Sea-Bed Authority and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and the new compromise Agreement relating to the deep sea-bed mining régime adopted by the General Assembly on 28 July, 1994. The book appears at the time when the Convention enters into force (16 November 1994). It will be of interest to academic lawyers and economists with an interest in the deep sea-bed mining issue, as well as to all those in the sea-bed mining industry, in public service (governmental and inter-governmental) and in UN organizations, who are likely to get involved in deep sea-bed mining and/or transfer of technology issues

The book examines how laws on sterilization, birth control and abortion were created, by focusing on the act of legislation -- how the law was driven by scientific and social norms during the first and closing decades of the 20th century in the USA (especially in the state of Indiana) and Norway. The author develops the notion of "body law" for reproductive policies and uses sociological theories to untie the various strands of social..

Book review of Executive Legislation: Delegate Law Making By the Executive Branch by John Mark Keyes and published by Butterworths (Toronto), 1992. (308 pp.)

In the scope of this paper I present the bill in two ways. First, I will show the most recent energy bill as a product of the length of historical debate on energy. I review the history of energy policy, and review the successes and failures of previous Congresses and Presidential administrations. I have broadly reviewed each Presidential administration as a time period for energy policy. This historical perspective is intended to show how energy and environmental policy became simultaneously considered issues when drafting legislation, and how the Waxman-Markey bill evolved from its predecessors. Secondly, I will analyze the bill itself using, both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Using three theories of Congressional decision-making, I will analyze how the House Energy and Commerce Committee drafted the bill, and how the subsequent vote was a reflection of partisan politics. It will prove that the increase in polarity scores since the mid-1970s have led to a partisan vote on the Waxman-Markey legislation.
