"This book asks why politically-powerful entities invested in the Amphiareion, a sanctuary renowned for its precarity and dependency. The answer lies in unravelling the intricacies of the shrine's epigraphical record and the stories about the communities and individuals responsible for creating it. By explaining patterns in inscribed display against the backdrop of broader events and phenomena emerging within central Greece, this book revisits the Amphiareion's narrative and emphasises its political implications for its neighbours. This interpretation offers new perspectives on the sanctuary and exposes agents' manipulation of it in the course of reinventing their self-image in a changing Greek world"--

ASSOCIATED PRESS WAR CORRESPONDENT Edward Kennedy (1905–1963) was among the 17 journalists chosen to witness Germany's surrender, ending Allied combat operations in Europe during World War II (Knightley, 2002). While en route to the early morning meeting, all members of the press corps were warned that the story was under embargo until Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (or SHAEF) issued its official release. After the event, the armed services placed a 36- hour embargo on the story; when Edward Kennedy broke that embargo, he told the world that the war with Germany was over – and paid dearly for his actions. In the weeks and months following his news scoop, Kennedy had his press credentials pulled, and the Associated Press began pressuring him to resign. When he did so, his career disintegrated and his life unraveled. In 1963, as he walked home from work, he was mowed down by a young driver in California (Kennedy, 2012). In May 2012, after nearly seven decades, the Associated Press finally issued an apology to Edward Kennedy and his family; and while the family may welcome this exoneration, the ethical implications of his story and the relationship war correspondents (both present and past) share with the US military continue to bear review.

The announcement of Rio de Janeiro as the 2016 Olympic host city has placed Latin America on the world's stage. Latin America has not been the centre of international architectural attention and pilgrimage since the mid 20th century when economic growth triggered the development of Modernist urban design and architecture on an epic scale. Since then the centralised, utopian planned model has broken down. Mass migrations from the countryside and erection of informal settlements have left cities socially

This paper offers a critical response to Alan Brudner's magisterial Punishment and Freedom. Brudner's Hegelian political theory of criminal law makes a significant advance over predominant moral theories. However Brudner misleads when he claims that the general part of the criminal law can be understood as a dialectical unity of three antithetical paradigms of individual freedom, a unity he calls dialogic community. The rise of preventive criminal law in the UK reveals that the tension between these paradigms has proved impossible to manage in practice. Brudner's painstaking elaboration of the paradigms of liberal freedom nevertheless allows us to identify the source of the breakdown of the dialogic community, and to understand better the subsequent decay of liberal order.

Pipelines to the north. Walls to the south. Between President Trump's issuance of a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline crossing from Canada and his promise to build "The Wall," the politics of our national borders rarely have been in as much turmoil as they are today. And as with any infrastructure project, environmental policy has been deeply in play all the way. But the environmental law of the borders might surprise you. Indeed, arguably there isn't any for these two projects.

Der Artikel befasst sich mit der Bedeutung von naturwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnis­sen in Gerichtsverfahren. Zu Beginn des Beitrages werden Relevanz und Problematik naturwissen­schaftlicher Fragestellungen in Gerichtsverfahren, wie sie sich in Japan während der letzten Jahrzehnte zeitlich entwickelt haben, im Überblick darge­stellt, wobei die Verfasserin die Frage aufwirft, warum die Natur­wissenschaften in japanischen Gerichtsverfahren, insbesondere im Rahmen der Beweisführung, bislang nur eine vergleichsweise geringe Beachtung gefunden haben. Im Folgenden geht die Verfasserin auf einzelne Entscheidungen der japanischen Gerichte ein, mit deren Hilfe sie den rechtskulturellen und rechts­politischen Hintergrund für die Rolle erläutert, welche naturwissen­schaftliche Erkenntnisse in japanischen Gerichtsverfahren spielen. Sodann zeigt sie Bereiche auf, in denen gegenwärtig (nicht juristisches) Fachwissen in Gerichts­verfahren besonders relevant wird, wie etwa das Medizinrecht oder das Recht des geistigen Eigentums. Dem dortigen Bedürfnis nach Expertise kann der Verfasserin zufolge zu einem durch eine Spezialisierung der Gerichte, zum anderen durch eine optimierte Einbindung von Sachverständigen Rechnung getragen werden. Der Beitrag geht dabei speziell auf letzteres ein und erläutert verschiedene Modelle hierzu. Schließlich unterscheidet die Autorin zwischen juristischen und natur­wissen­schaftlichen Implikationen gerichtlicher Entscheidungen und zeigt schluss­folgernd das Potential der Gerichte auf, als "Foren der Wissenschaft" zu fungieren. (Die Redaktion) ; This article deals with the relevance of science within court proceedings. The article opens by providing an overview of the relevance of and the difficulties in dealing with scientific problems in court proceedings over the last decades in Japan, and it raises the question why science, especially in regard to evidence, has received only little attention in Japanese court proceedings in comparison to other countries. The author continues by referring to Japanese case law of recent decades in order to explain the cultural- and political-legal background of the role of science in Japanese court proceedings. Certain legal fields are pointed out in which scientific expertise is extraordinarily apparent, for example, medical malpractice lawsuits or the law of intellectual property. According to the author, the need for scientific expertise in those fields can be met in two ways, either by a specialization of the courts or by an optimized collaboration with expert witnesses. The article continues by examining the latter and illustrates different models for integrating expert witnesses in court proceedings. Furthermore, the author differentiates between the legal and scientific implications of court decisions before ending the article with a reference to the potential of courts as "forums for science."

This essay addresses the contradictory consequences of expanding agrofuels production on crop land (inflating food prices) and forestland (increasing carbon emissions). Whereas the energy crisis has strong roots in industrial agriculture's fossil-fuel dependence, responses to the energy crisis follow a typical capital accumulation script — that is, attempting to overcome barriers to profitability by extending the realm of value creation, even as this intensifies capitalism's contradictions. The 'agrofuels project' is central to this attempt to maintain profit, and to legitimize the state/capital nexus. The rush to agrofuels, under the guise of policies geared to alternative energy and reducing carbon emissions, opens up new profit frontiers for agribusiness, energy and biotechnology corporations.

In many parts of the world public enterprise is in crisis. Privatisation programmes are being widely touted as the solution to many of the problems of inefficiency and slow rates of growth associated with public enterprise. This book discusses the underlying causes of those problems, and critically examines some of the solutions that have been adopted. Its geographical coverage is wide and it cuts across the political spectrum. The experiences of countries in four continents are analysed in an attempt to shed light on current dilemmas. Recurrent patterns are found; problems are frequently seen

Published: 6 Oct 2016 ; Gravely affected by the Syrian crisis, Lebanon has remained relatively stable against all odds – despite the influx of some 1.5 million Syrian refugees and an internal political crisis involving supporters of opposing Syrian factions. Lebanon's resilience can be explained by the high opportunity cost of state breakdown for domestic, regional and international political actors. Moreover, international economic assistance, diaspora remittances and informal networks established by refugees help to prevent outright economic breakdown. However, stability remains extremely precarious. Primary tipping points include (1) an IS strategy to spread the conflict to Lebanon, with consequent disintegration of the army along sectarian lines, (2) democratic decline and people's dissatisfaction, (3) Hizbullah's domestic ambitions and Israeli fears over the group's growing military powers and (4) the potential that frustration between refugees and host communities may erupt into recurrent violence. The slow economic and sanitary decline in the country (5), however, is considered the biggest challenge.

The tools to battle the disease exist, but the lack of political will in developed nations jeopardizes their success
