Examines the contribution of the new institutionalism, which seeks to emphasize the influence of the environment on law, to legal sociology, through an analysis of the work of Lauren Edelman on the 1964 Civil Rights Act. However, rigorous & impressive this work, it is incomplete insofar as it treats law as an independent variable. For legal sociology, there are empirical & theoretical reasons for not using law in this manner. There is little evidence that law makes a large difference to social practices, & theoretically, the dependence of law on the social environment makes law an unsound independent variable. Even if law has an impact on social practices, a theory must still account for the origins of the law. Sociological theories that place law as a primary actor, therefore, fall short in that they fail to explain the construction of law itself. 67 References. J. Cowie

A concise account of international law by an experienced practitioner, this book explains how states and international organisations, especially the United Nations, make and use international law. The nature of international law and its fundamental concepts and principles are described. The difference and relationship between various areas of international law which are often misunderstood (such as diplomatic and state immunity, and human rights and international humanitarian law) are clearly explained. The essence of new specialist areas of international law, relating to the environment, human rights and terrorism are discussed. Aust's clear and accessible style makes the subject understandable to non-international lawyers, non-lawyers and students. Abundant references are provided to sources and other materials, including authoritative and useful websites

Abstract
What is the role of the social sciences in international law? This article maps how international law interacts with the social sciences, including its concepts, findings, methods, and epistemologies. It provides a first encompassing genealogy of social science references in six renowned international law journals, including the American, Asian, European, Leiden, and Nordic Journal of International Law as well as the British International and Comparative Law Quarterly, by using a corpus linguistic approach that encompasses more than 15,000 documents from 1907 to 2022. Moreover, it explores how structural factors related to the institutionalization and funding of certain strands of social science-inspired international law scholarship have influenced regional and temporal patterns in Europe, Germany, and Australia.

This book examines how legal systems and mechanisms give shape to the capitalist economic system. In this regard, it focuses on the most important of these systems, such as monetary and financial law, company law, fiscality, contract and labour law. Further, the book provides a thorough analysis of the underlying ethical values of said legal systems and mechanisms. It also gives an overview of several potentially devastating related effects, such as poverty, the increasing polarisation between rich and poor, climate change, and mounting debts at both the public and private level. The book concludes by presenting proposals for change. Given its critical analysis of legal systems and mechanisms in connection with the value choices dictated by economic ideologies, the book will be of particular interest to legal and economic academics, researchers and students, but also to policymakers, and, more generally, to anyone with a genuine concern for how the socio-economic order will evolve.

This 46-chapter book, written by leading experts across the globe, compares and contrasts the foreign relations law of nations around the world, both documenting important differences and also noting commonalities and emerging trends. Comparative foreign relations law is a newly emerging field of study and teaching, and this volume is likely to become a key reference work as the field continues to develop.

Abstract
A control system supporting motion of an underwater robotic vehicle along a reference trajectory in the horizontal plane is presented in the paper. A waypoint line-of-sight scheme and nonlinear PD control law are applied to calculate command signals. Parameters of the proposed control law are tuned using genetic algorithms. The validity and advantages of the approach are illustrated through numerical simulation results.

The article presents the process of maintaining identity of Ucrainians in reference to polish law. This example indicates that regulations regarding minorities must be monitored constantly to avoid vanishing of unique culture. Only formation of appropriate legal system can lead to coexistence of diverse cultures on the same area. Europe has always been multicultural, but nowadays unifi cation of law is crucial.
