Free Download Plato’s Laws : force and truth in politics By Sanday, Eric; Plato.; Recco, Gregory
2012 | 258 Pages | ISBN: 0253001781 | EPUB | 5 MB
Readers of Plato have often neglected the Laws because of its length and density. In this set of interpretive essays, notable scholars of the Laws from the fields of classics, history, philosophy, and political science offer a collective close reading of the dialogue "book by book" and reflect on the work as a whole. In their introduction, editors Gregory Recco and Eric Sanday explore the connections among the essays and the dramatic and productive exchanges between the contributors. This volume fills a major gap in studies on Plato’s dialogues by addressing the cultural and historical context of the Laws and highlighting their importance to contemporary scholarship.

Free Download Richard S. Shortt, "Lethal Force and New Zealand Police: The History, Law, Practice and Reality of Lethal Force Use by a Well-Armed and Capa"
English | ISBN: 3031052684 | 2022 | 266 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book challenges the notion that the New Zealand Police are one of only four global police services that does not have routinely armed officers, using arguments and facts drawn from 2000 to 2019, a period of important change for the organisation and its relationship with firearms, particularly following the outrages of the Christchurch mosques terrorist massacres in 2019, and the 2020 shooting death of a young police constable in Aotearoa New Zealand. This book provides a brief history of the Police from its beginnings to the present day with a specific focus on its relationship with firearms, which contextualize the law that justifies use of lethal force in a country that has abolished the death penalty. It examines police policies, procedures, training and structures governing deployment and use of firearms in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the independent oversight that now applies to fatal and non-fatal shootings by Police. Using 43 publicly released oversight agency reports and data directly related to police shootings, such as who is being shot, this book investigates how the police are using lethal force, who is being affected, and what this might mean for the service with regards to the operational deployment of firearms and the potential for use of lethal force within the community into the future.

Free Download La Force du désir de Willy Pasini
Français | 9 février 1999 | ISBN: 2738106706 | True EPUB | 257 pages | 1.4 MB
Toute notre société semble aujourd’hui envahie par le désir. Et pourtant sait-on encore séduire ? Et surtout continuer à séduire ? Nos envies de consommation ont fini par réduire au silence la plus élémentaire de toutes, celle de se rapprocher d’autrui, de créer une intimité. Certains vivent des unions désexuées. D’autres plongent dans le monde des désirs incontrôlables et incontrôlés,qui conduisent au harcèlement, aux abus sexuels. Entre le désir irrépressible et l’absence de désir, entre le trop et le trop peu, il y a les désirs satisfaits à la va-vite par toutes les formes de commerce érotique, de l’amour au téléphone à la pilule de l’orgasme. Or le désir est bien plus qu’une pilule…

Free Download The Use of Force in International Law: A Case-Based Approach By Tom Ruys (editor), Olivier Corten (editor), Alexandra Hofer (editor)
2018 | 960 Pages | ISBN: 0198784368 | PDF | 11 MB
The international law on the use of force is one of the oldest branches of international law. It is an area twinned with the emergence of international law as a concept in itself, and which sees law and politics collide. The number of armed conflicts is equal only to the number of methodological approaches used to describe them. Many violent encounters are well known. The Kosovo Crisis in 1999 and the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 spring easily to the minds of most scholars and academics, and gain extensive coverage in this text. Other conflicts, including the Belgian operation in Stanleyville, and the Ethiopian Intervention in Somalia, are often overlooked to our peril. Ruys and Corten’s expert-written text compares over sixty different instances of the use of cross border force since the adoption of the UN Charter in 1945, from all out warfare to hostile encounters between individual units, targeted killings, and hostage rescue operations, to ask a complex question. How much authority does the power of precedent really have in the law of the use of force?
