Recognition of Foreign Judgments
With A Special Focus on Maritime Judgments
2022 || Hardcover || Yuhan Ji || Eleven international publishing
The prevalence of the rules and practices on the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments gradually blurs the dividing line between ‘recognition’ and ‘enforcement’.
However, recognition is not an afterthought of enforcement. Recognition of Foreign Judgments explores how the courts in the selected jurisdictions, namely the European Union, England and Wales, and the United States, decide whether and to what extent to grant some preclusive effects to foreign judgments, while giv...

The Quest for Complex Policy
Exploring the Tensions between Simplification and Complexification in Public Policymaking
2022 || Hardcover || Hans Joosse || Eleven international publishing
Governments often present societal problems simpler than they are. In public policy, problems are bound, extracted from their context, and provided with one-dimensional solutions. As demonstrated in this book, ‘criminal youth groups’ must be imprisoned, and the municipal transport service must get passengers from A to B as quickly as possible. Because of these simplifi cations, policy becomes superfi cial, often with disappointing results.
This book searches for an alternative policy orie...

Legitimate by Nature?
Examining the Legitimisation Activities Implemented by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda
2022 || Hardcover || Claire M.H. Boost || Eleven international publishing
International crimes cause widespread victimisation and destruction, leading to social disruption that may take generations to repair. Over the years, the international community has established international courts to end the culture of impunity in relation to such crimes and to enforce a culture of accountability. A critical success factor for these courts is to ensure that they are perceived as legitimate in post-conflict societies.
Established after the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi eth...
Blaming the Addicted Brain
Building bridges between criminal law and neuroscientific perspectives on addiction
2022 || Hardcover || Anna Elisabeth Goldberg || Eleven international publishing
Addiction is pervasively present within the criminal justice sector, resulting in legal professionals regularly dealing with addicted defendants. Yet addiction is a complex and heterogeneous phenomenon, resulting in controversies regarding its conceptualisation, and thus difficulties in addressing addiction-related crime in court. Over the last decades, addiction has increasingly been conceptualised as a brain disease, which arguably could alter the law’s current approach towards the crimin...

The Abstract Police
Critical reflections on contemporary change in police organisations
2022 || Hardcover || Jan Terpstra e.a. || Eleven international publishing
Over the past ten to fifteen years the police in many Western European countries have undergone a series of profound organisational changes. The police now appear to operate at a greater distance from citizens, they are more impersonal and decontextualized and have become more dependent on digitalised data systems.
These changes are captured through the concept of the ‘abstract police’ and in this international collection of essays, leading policing scholars use this concept to make sens...
