How the legacy of the Civil War--as presented by writers, poets, and artists of the time--has shaped American visions of democracy In Haunted by the Civil War, Shirley Samuels explores the work of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others to investigate the long cultural shadow of America's cataclysmic sundering. Juxtaposing these texts with images--ranging from paintings by Winslow Homer to newspaper and magazine illustrations of political controversies--Samuels argues that the Civil War still haunts our attitudes toward democracy. The recent toppling of Confederate monuments, the continuing protests over racial and sexual discrimination, immigration, and Indigenous land rights: each of these forms part of the war's legacy. Examining the fraught deliberations about an ideal American democracy in the early republic, Samuels turns to the language of sensation in the poetry of Melville, Dickinson, and Whitman alongside Lincol

After the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang imposed authoritarian rule on Taiwan in the name of anticommunism. The White Terror, as martial law and state repression were known, would last for decades, casting a pall of uncertainty and fear over Taiwanese society--and its legacies still haunt Taiwan today. Kaori Lai's Portraits in White explores everyday life under the White Terror, illuminating how the violence of martial law pervades even the most mundane moments. The book is composed of three novellas, each telling the story of an ordinary person. Mr. Ch'ing-chih, a schoolteacher, keeps his head down and avoids harming others despite pressure to do intelligence work. Ms. Wen-hui, an old woman who had served as a housekeeper for elites of different backgrounds since the Japanese occupation, faces death alone in the digital age. Ms. Casey, discriminated against for not being of mainlander descent, moves to Europe and must navigate the politics of diaspora. Even if only alluded to obliq

The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong SAR (the ‘NSL’) promises to be the most important legal development in Hong Kong since the advent of the Basic Law. Many wondered in the aftermath of the NSL how the foundations of Hong Kong’s system might be changed and in what way the freedoms valued by Hong Kong may be affected. Supporters view the law as essential for the preservation of public order and the national security of China and to support the fundamental well-being of “One Country, Two Systems”, an arrangement that has been in place since the return of Hong Kong to China. Critics fear an adverse impact on the spirit of “One Country, Two Systems”.From a discussion initiated by the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law, this collection of essays brings together leading experts on Hong Kong and Chinese law to offer an exploratory study of the NSL and its impact on the legal system and the principle of the rule of law in Hong Kong

Both clarifying fundamental principles and facilitating additional research, International Law is invaluable for students and for those occupied in private practice, governmental service and international organisations.

《Civil Society》是一部探討公民自發行動與公共生活的經典著作，也是理解「公民社會」不可或缺的重要文本。面對近年來席捲全球的抗議運動與社會動盪，本書提醒我們：真正能長期塑造社會的力量，往往並不只存在於街頭或新聞焦點中，而是深植於人們日常參與的志願組織、社群與公民網絡之中。Civil Society has become a standard work of reference for anyone seeking to understand the role of voluntary citizen action in shaping society.Recent waves of global unrest have highlighted the visibility and impact of social movements and street protests in world politics. Yet, as this lucid and accessible book demonstrates, the real power of citizens more often flows through everyday participation in voluntary associations, community groups, and civic networks—forms of “normal” civic life that rarely make headlines. This is the deeper, underlying story of civil society.In this updated edition, Michael Edwards examines key developments that have rapidly transformed the civic landscape in recent years. These include the growing intersections between civil society and the market, such as social enterprises and “venture philanthropy,” as well as the

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on International Law and International Relations: The State of the Art brings together the most influential contemporary writers in the fields of international law and international relations to take stock of what we know about the making, interpretation and enforcement of international law. The contributions to this volume critically explore what recent interdisciplinary work reveals about the design and workings of international institutions, the various roles played by international and domestic courts, and the factors that enhance compliance with international law. The volume also explores how interdisciplinary work has advanced theoretical understandings of the causes and consequences of the increased legalization of international affairs.

西方的「Law - 法律」普受亞非及東方各國所仿習，可是他們的法律多因水土不服而無法治之實。他們對法律或能論說如流、辯證無礙，但對「Law」的歷史淵源及原始本義，則因牽涉到基督教教義的主軸－the Law、羅馬十二表法，以及十三世紀羅馬教會的教義權威，艾奎那（Thomas Aquinas，1225–74）對Law 的闡釋，加上文化隔閡，不易窺知全貌。 本書精簡介紹西方法律的歷史淵源，說明六世紀受羅馬教會開化的西方蠻邦人（盎格魯撒克遜、法蘭克、日爾曼）將艾奎那的神學論述，發展為條理分明的學術：法律、哲學。十六世紀宗教改革時，這些西方人重視基督教律法（the Law）中的道德信念、耶穌言行，並據以行之。自此，西方遂在不斷演進中，造出法治文化與現代文明。 為讓國人對西方文化根源的律法、十二表法、艾奎那，有所認識，本書特選錄各具代表性的章節；尤其是審判與艾奎那對Law 的解說（包括：「罪疑輕判」等觀念），艾奎那早在八百多年前就說過了，卻少見於中國文獻，甚值參閱。又將英國十六世紀新教「憲法」，39 Articles，有關遵行「Law」的法規，以及大憲章沉睡四百年簡史，置於附錄。本書有些地方或與一般認知，不盡一致，但這並無大礙，反而有助於讀者追查事實。 本書還提醒國人，若光是仿抄西方現成的法制或法律，卻沒有自己的文化根基，猶如沙上建屋，穩固不足。實應謀長遠之計，參酌西方的成功歷程，以自己固有文化作為發展的基礎，方為上策。

National Book Award finalist Elizabeth Partridge reveals the life and work of Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of Central Park, the United States Capitol building's landscape, and more. Nobody could get Frederick Law Olmsted to sit still. He was filled with energy, adventure, and dreams of changing the world.
