The Influence Economy: Decoding Supplier-Induced Demand
by
What shapes a buyer's needs and wants? In The Influence Economy, Maxim Sytch explores the influences that nudge buyers toward questionable decisions and consumption, revealing how professional services--consulting, marketing, banking, and legal firms--create demand for unnecessary and potentially harmful products and services. Such supplier-induced demand can take many forms, including superfluous reorganizations, frivolous lawsuits, and ill-conceived acquisitions. These actions may not only fail to produce positive outcomes but can also inflict detrimental consequences on the buying organization, from squandering valuable resources and demotivating the workforce to disrupting business operations and causing various operational, legal, and financial setbacks. Supplier-induced demand is not uniform but occurs under specific circumstances. Through empirical analyses and interviews with buyers and sellers of professional services, Sytch reveals the conditions under which supplier-induced demand is most likely to occur. The book argues that the conditions that give rise to supplier-induced demand are increasingly characteristic of today's broader knowledge-based economy, with significant implications for managerial control, vertical integration, and the economics of agglomeration. Ultimately, Sytch lays the groundwork for a systematic understanding of the contemporary influence economy and identifies potential strategies for organizations and policymakers to counteract its adverse effects.

The Warren Court and the Democratic Constitution
by
A timely history of the profound impact of Earl Warren's Supreme Court on many areas of modern American government and society From 1953 to 1969, Earl Warren served as chief justice of the US Supreme Court. During that time, the Warren Court made a number of historically important decisions involving anti-miscegenation laws (Loving v. Virginia), the right to privacy (Griswold v. Connecticut), and, perhaps most important, racial segregation (Brown v. Board of Education). In The Warren Court and Democratic Constitution, Horwitz highlights the radical shift in traditional jurisprudential ideas that occurred during Earl Warren's tenure as chief justice. He details how Brown v. Board of Education exerted a powerful influence on the agenda of the Warren Court and reshaped almost every subject area in constitutional law. With this decision, the concept of a "living Constitution," the idea that the Constitution ought to develop to accommodate social change, emerged and was institutionalized by the Court. Brown inspired a more active reading of the Equal Protection Clause, and the Court soon applied this expanded notion of "equal protection" to legislative apportionment, recognized the rights of supposed "outsiders" (e.g., undocumented peoples and children born out of wedlock), and initiated a new era of legal attacks on gender discrimination. The Warren Court's jurisprudence is radically opposed to the current Supreme Court's emphasis on originalism, the approach of interpreting the Constitution according to its meaning at the time of writing. Readers interested in an alternative to originalism, as well as Supreme Court history and civil rights, will gain a deeper understanding of the profound impact of the Warren Court on many areas of modern American government and society.

Environmental Damage Caused By Marine Litter: International Regulation and Responsibility
by
This book provides a timely analysis of the limitations of existing international legal frameworks for solving the problem of marine litter. Ho Jeong Dan expertly examines international law principles related to allocating responsibility for marine litter and proposes a plan to combat the issue effectively. Dan asserts that a significant hurdle towards managing the issue of marine litter is that of defining responsibility. The book highlights the complexity of attributing responsibility for marine litter due to its mobile and transboundary nature, emphasising the importance of international cooperation. Dan explores both theoretical and practical dimensions of the issue and draws on this analysis to inform possible solutions. Overall, the book sets forth how new legally binding international treaties could be drafted, in order to directly regulate marine litter and safeguard marine ecosystems and human well-being on an international scale. Environmental Damage Caused by Marine Litter is a fundamental resource for researchers, academics and students of environmental law, maritime law, ocean law and public international law. Policymakers, legal practitioners, NGOs and governing bodies will also benefit from the book's practical recommendations.

Republic of Indians: Empires of Indigenous Law in the Early American South
by
A sweeping history of the Native Southerners who challenged European empires from the inside, Republic of Indians tells the story of Indigenous leaders who wrote their principles into Spanish and English law. While in the Spanish Empire, Natives were a recognized part of "la república de indios," the "republic of Indians," other Natives across the early American South understood themselves to be joined with European colonists in larger polities, each jealously guarding their own bodies of liberties under royal sanction. Thus, rather than simply rejecting European pretensions to rule them as subjects and vassals, Native Southerners as diverse as the Apalachees, Pamunkeys, Powhatans, and Timucuas redefined their status to become political players in legislative assemblies and the courts of distant monarchs. They pushed for incorporation in larger political systems in which they had a say and were themselves instrumental in creating. Adapting pre-invasion practices to the technology of writing and the challenges of colonialism, Indigenous petitioners sought exemptions from labor and protection for "the lands that God gave to them," as well as the right to install preferred leaders, avoid enslavement, ally with the Crown against colonists, ease harsh colonial laws, and even amend the terms of treaties and compacts. Bradley J. Dixon shows how their petitions also stand as enduring contributions to American political thought and how it was these "vassals" and "subjects" who gave meaning to the modern idea of tribal sovereignty. In the South, the Spanish and English empires came to resemble one another precisely because they were both dependent to a remarkable degree on maintaining Indigenous political consent and were founded in large part on Indigenous conceptions of law.

This thought-provoking book navigates the impact of place-brands in the consumer marketplace in light of the extended protection accorded to them under intellectual property laws. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book explores diverse national and international approaches to strategic branding through the lenses of law, marketing, history and sociology. The book presents three place-brands as case studies: 'Scotch Whisky'-branded whiskies, 'Napa Valley'-branded wines, and 'Coffee Kenya' figurative mark branded coffees. Each of the selected case studies offers a different perspective due to their legislative history and the time at which the place-brand received legal recognition. Chapters include analyses from those working within the industries: traders who use place-brands, lawyers who protect them, marketers who promote them, consumers who rely on them to buy goods, and academics who study them. Place-Branding Experiences is a valuable resource for traders, marketers, policy makers, and students, academics as well as practitioners of law and marketing in exploring the impact place-branding can have not only on the sectors of industries so branded, but also on the broader regional economies. It advances important lessons from the diverse realities of successful place-brands.

Environmental Damage Caused By Marine Litter: International Regulation and Responsibility
by
This book provides a timely analysis of the limitations of existing international legal frameworks for solving the problem of marine litter. Ho Jeong Dan expertly examines international law principles related to allocating responsibility for marine litter and proposes a plan to combat the issue effectively. Dan asserts that a significant hurdle towards managing the issue of marine litter is that of defining responsibility. The book highlights the complexity of attributing responsibility for marine litter due to its mobile and transboundary nature, emphasising the importance of international cooperation. Dan explores both theoretical and practical dimensions of the issue and draws on this analysis to inform possible solutions. Overall, the book sets forth how new legally binding international treaties could be drafted, in order to directly regulate marine litter and safeguard marine ecosystems and human well-being on an international scale. Environmental Damage Caused by Marine Litter is a fundamental resource for researchers, academics and students of environmental law, maritime law, ocean law and public international law. Policymakers, legal practitioners, NGOs and governing bodies will also benefit from the book's practical recommendations.

Handbook on Border Criminology
by
his topical Handbook investigates the nature and impact of intersections between border control and criminal justice. Using comparative and decolonial perspectives, it demonstrates the corrosive effect of harsh border practices not just on those subject to them, but to many of the key principles of liberal democracy. The Handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the rapidly growing field of border criminology and introduces original research, new theoretical perspectives and methodological innovations. It considers the relationship between research and activism as well as the lived experiences of those subject to border control. International scholars from a range of social science disciplines, including criminology, socio-legal studies, sociology and anthropology critically assess the nature, findings, and implications of the intersections between border control and criminal justice. In response to politically charged debates on immigration and border policing, they dissect the punitive laws and policies and consider alternatives. The Handbook on Border Criminology is an unmissable read for students and scholars of criminology, socio-legal studies, migration, borders, human rights and public international law. In its global reach, this unique Handbook is also of great benefit to practitioners and policy makers.

From Masters of Slaves to Lords of Lands
by
Today we think of land as the paradigmatic example of property, while in the past, the paradigmatic example was often a slave. In this seminal work, James Q. Whitman asserts that there is no natural form of ownership. Whitman dives deep into the long Western history of this transformation in the legal imagination - the transformation from the ownership of humans and other living creatures to the ownership of land. This change extended over many centuries, coming to fruition only on the threshold of the modern era. It brought with it profound changes, not only in the way we understand ownership but also in the way we understand the state. Its most dramatic consequence arrived in the nineteenth century, with the final disappearance of the lawful private ownership of humans, which had been taken for granted for thousands of years.

Republic of Indians: Empires of Indigenous Law in the Early American South
by
A sweeping history of the Native Southerners who challenged European empires from the inside, Republic of Indians tells the story of Indigenous leaders who wrote their principles into Spanish and English law. While in the Spanish Empire, Natives were a recognized part of "la república de indios," the "republic of Indians," other Natives across the early American South understood themselves to be joined with European colonists in larger polities, each jealously guarding their own bodies of liberties under royal sanction. Thus, rather than simply rejecting European pretensions to rule them as subjects and vassals, Native Southerners as diverse as the Apalachees, Pamunkeys, Powhatans, and Timucuas redefined their status to become political players in legislative assemblies and the courts of distant monarchs. They pushed for incorporation in larger political systems in which they had a say and were themselves instrumental in creating. Adapting pre-invasion practices to the technology of writing and the challenges of colonialism, Indigenous petitioners sought exemptions from labor and protection for "the lands that God gave to them," as well as the right to install preferred leaders, avoid enslavement, ally with the Crown against colonists, ease harsh colonial laws, and even amend the terms of treaties and compacts. Bradley J. Dixon shows how their petitions also stand as enduring contributions to American political thought and how it was these "vassals" and "subjects" who gave meaning to the modern idea of tribal sovereignty. In the South, the Spanish and English empires came to resemble one another precisely because they were both dependent to a remarkable degree on maintaining Indigenous political consent and were founded in large part on Indigenous conceptions of law.

The Warren Court and the Democratic Constitution
by
A timely history of the profound impact of Earl Warren's Supreme Court on many areas of modern American government and society From 1953 to 1969, Earl Warren served as chief justice of the US Supreme Court. During that time, the Warren Court made a number of historically important decisions involving anti-miscegenation laws (Loving v. Virginia), the right to privacy (Griswold v. Connecticut), and, perhaps most important, racial segregation (Brown v. Board of Education). In The Warren Court and Democratic Constitution, Horwitz highlights the radical shift in traditional jurisprudential ideas that occurred during Earl Warren's tenure as chief justice. He details how Brown v. Board of Education exerted a powerful influence on the agenda of the Warren Court and reshaped almost every subject area in constitutional law. With this decision, the concept of a "living Constitution," the idea that the Constitution ought to develop to accommodate social change, emerged and was institutionalized by the Court. Brown inspired a more active reading of the Equal Protection Clause, and the Court soon applied this expanded notion of "equal protection" to legislative apportionment, recognized the rights of supposed "outsiders" (e.g., undocumented peoples and children born out of wedlock), and initiated a new era of legal attacks on gender discrimination. The Warren Court's jurisprudence is radically opposed to the current Supreme Court's emphasis on originalism, the approach of interpreting the Constitution according to its meaning at the time of writing. Readers interested in an alternative to originalism, as well as Supreme Court history and civil rights, will gain a deeper understanding of the profound impact of the Warren Court on many areas of modern American government and society.

The Influence Economy: Decoding Supplier-Induced Demand
by
What shapes a buyer's needs and wants? In The Influence Economy, Maxim Sytch explores the influences that nudge buyers toward questionable decisions and consumption, revealing how professional services--consulting, marketing, banking, and legal firms--create demand for unnecessary and potentially harmful products and services. Such supplier-induced demand can take many forms, including superfluous reorganizations, frivolous lawsuits, and ill-conceived acquisitions. These actions may not only fail to produce positive outcomes but can also inflict detrimental consequences on the buying organization, from squandering valuable resources and demotivating the workforce to disrupting business operations and causing various operational, legal, and financial setbacks. Supplier-induced demand is not uniform but occurs under specific circumstances. Through empirical analyses and interviews with buyers and sellers of professional services, Sytch reveals the conditions under which supplier-induced demand is most likely to occur. The book argues that the conditions that give rise to supplier-induced demand are increasingly characteristic of today's broader knowledge-based economy, with significant implications for managerial control, vertical integration, and the economics of agglomeration. Ultimately, Sytch lays the groundwork for a systematic understanding of the contemporary influence economy and identifies potential strategies for organizations and policymakers to counteract its adverse effects.
