With increasing disparities between nations, worsening poverty, and divergent historical, economic and political realities the international community faces significant hurdles in crafting a common platform for environmental action. The integration of countries into international environmental regimes is a central challenge. Differential treatment refers to the use of norms that provide different, or more advantageous treatment to some states. This book explores the value of differential treatment for developing countries, and examines the basis for and boundaries of differential treatment in international environmental law.

Free Download Deven R. Desai, "Brands, Competition Law and IP"
English | ISBN: 1107103460 | 2015 | 282 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Brands and brand management have become a central feature of the modern economy and a staple of business theory and business practice. Contrary to the law’s conception of trademarks, brands are used to indicate far more than source and/or quality. This volume begins the process of broadening the legal understanding of brands by explaining what brands are and how they function, how trademark and antitrust/competition law have misunderstood brands, and the implications of continuing to ignore the role brands play in business competition. This is the first book to engage with the topic from an interdisciplinary perspective, hence it will be a must-have for all those interested in the phenomenon of brands and how their function is recognized by the legal system. The book integrates both a competition and an intellectual property law dimension and explores the regulatory environment and case law in both Europe and the United States.

Free Download Rebecca Lemon, "Treason by Words: Literature, Law, and Rebellion in Shakespeare’s England Ed 2"
English | ISBN: 0801474493 | 2007 | 256 pages | PDF | 42 MB
Under the Tudor monarchy, English law expanded to include the category of "treason by words." Rebecca Lemon investigates this remarkable phrase both as a legal charge and as a cultural event. English citizens, she shows, expressed competing notions of treason in opposition to the growing absolutism of the monarchy. Lemon explores the complex participation of texts by John Donne, Ben Jonson, and William Shakespeare in the legal and political controversies marking the Earl of Essex’s 1601 rebellion and the 1605 Gunpowder Description.

Free Download Johann P. Sommerville, "Thomas Hobbes: Elements of Law "
English | ISBN: 019958625X | 2025 | 336 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Hobbes’s Elements of Law was written in 1640, on the eve of the English Civil War. It circulated in manuscript, and eleven manuscripts now survive. Two of them contain a substantial amount of material in Hobbes’s own handwriting. Soon after writing it, Hobbes fled to France, while in England civil war broke out over many of the issues discussed by Hobbes in this book. In France he wrote a Latin version of his political theory (De Cive, on the Citizen), and then the English Leviathan, of which a Latin revision followed and in which he greatly expanded what he had to say about religion and church-state relations. The Elements of Law presents a complete but succinct version of Hobbes’s political theory and of his more general philosophy. It analyzes the nature of knowledge and science, discusses psychology and human nature, surveys the rights and duties of individuals, and argues for the need of states to be governed by sovereign authority. It discusses the relationship between politics and religion, and the extent and limitations of political power. It is ‘a work of extraordinary assurance, an almost fully fledged statement of Hobbes’s entire political philosophy’. (Noel Malcolm)

To deter crime, punish criminals, and uphold order, society creates and enforces laws.

It examines how legal principles are applied to specific types of crime and how legal precedents are set. Case studies highlight how laws have evolved to respond to emerging types of crime as well as specific concerns, such as how the law should be applied to juveniles versus adults.

Free Download Psychiatry and the Law: Basic Principles by Tobias Wasser, Rocksheng Zhong
English | March 30, 2024 | ISBN: 3031525884 | 275 pages | MOBI | 1.01 Mb
This book is designed to help new psychiatrists and other medical professionals confront the complicated legal and ethical issues that arise at the intersection of the mental health and judicial systems. The law provides the boundaries in which clinical care operates. Appreciating these boundaries is particularly important when working with individuals whose rights may already be curtailed (forensic settings, for example). Understanding how psychiatry and the law interface provides students and trainees with a foundation for building their skills and attitudes through training and beyond. This text can guide or supplement education on the legal regulation of psychiatry, the use of psychiatry to answer legal questions, and the treatment of individuals with criminal justice involvement.
