Examining Practice, Interrogating Theory

Comparative Legal Studies in Asia

Legal transplantation and reform in the name of globalisation is central to the transformation of Asian legal systems. The contributions to "Examining Practice, Interrogating Theory: Comparative Legal Studies in Asia" analyse particular legal changes in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The contributions also concurrently critically analyse the utility of scholarly developments in comparative legal studies, particularly discourse analysis; regulatory theory; legal pluralism; and socio-legal approaches, in the study of Asian legal systems. While these approaches are regularly invoked in the study of transforming European legal systems, the debate of their relevance and explanatory capacity beyond the European context is recent. By bringing together these diverse analytical tools and enabling a comparison of their insights through Asian empirical case studies, this book makes an invaluable contribution to the debates concerning legal change and the methods by which it is analysed globally, and within Asia.

Technology and the Logic of American Racism

A Cultural History of the Body as Evidence

"In this book, Sarah E. Chinn pulls together what seems to be opposite discourses--the information-driven languages of law and medicine and the subjective logics of racism--to examine how racial identity has been constructed in the United States over the past century. She examines a range of primary social case studies such as the American Red Cross' lamentable decision to segregate the blood of black and white donors during World War II, and its ramifications for American culture, and more recent examples that reveal the racist nature of criminology, such as the recent trial of O.J. Simpson. Among several key American literary texts, she looks at Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson, a novel whose plot turns on issues of racial identity and which was written at a time when scientific and popular interest in evidence of the body, such as fingerprinting, was at a peak"--Publisher's description.

Nonmonotonic Logic and Rule-Based Legal Reasoning

This dissertation defends the use of nonmonotonic logic to represent rule-based legal reasoning, as exemplified by a particular, complex statute: the Internal Revenue Code. The dissertation motivates and provides a theoretical basis for formalizing the United States tax code (and perhaps other statutes). Formalization of statutory language will make statutes more precise. Formalized statutory language that tracks the actual structure of the tax law will make it easier for theoretical work to converge with the law, and may lay the groundwork to apply artificial intelligence to tax compliance and avoidance.To this end, the dissertation investigates and refines John Horty's work, especially Reasons as Defaults, with particular focus on examples in that book of inappropriate equilibria---scenarios that Horty's approach endorses that Horty finds problematic or unintuitive. The dissertation looks at Horty's work in service of applying Horty's work, and default logic more generally, to legal reasoning, and in particular rule-based legal reasoning.

Wrong Side of History

America's Alliance with Islamic Terrorists

"Over 4 Million Innocent People Will Be Slaughtered If Assad Falls," Senator Richard Black describing the misguided efforts of the United State's crusade to take out President Bashar al Assad of Syria. What you will not hear in the media, which will be shared with you in this book, is that the United States has formed an unwritten alliance with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to take out Assad, the president of Syria. These three regimes are some of the most brutal, oppressive regimes that have ever existed in human history. It is well documented that they all have brutal dictatorships with aggressively oppressive governments. Senator Richard Black has studied Syria every day for the past 7 years. With his experience in the Middle East, as well as his day to day studies, he felt compelled in 2014 to write a letter directly to President Assad. The complete details of that letter is included in this book along with Senator Black's own words as to why he wrote the letter and what he hoped would come out of it. Not long after the letter was sent, President Assad reached out to Senator Black and invited him to visit the country. Consequently, Black went on a 3-day visit to meet and to talk with President Assad directly in Syria. You will learn what happened during that trip to Syria and what Senator Black learned about the country and about both Bashar al Assad and his wife Asma Assad. You will also learn how and why tensions between Russia and the United States have escalated unnecessarily and have become very serious. Black shares the downward path NATO has been on for the last three decades; from a defensive peace coalition to a brutal organization that continues war for its own survival. This ebook includes the transcript from an interview with Senator Richard Black on Business Game Changers radio with Sarah Westall. It also includes additional content and documents, including Black's letter to President Assad.
