Reimagining the International Legal Order

International law is usually conservative with lawyers and judges emphasizing consistency stability and predictability as the major advantages of the law. Legal scholars often prefer not to challenge the status quo to suggest amendments or to reform institutions advocating simply to focus on the implementation of the laws that already exist. This collection stands different. It shares the authors’ discomfort with the present legal order and some of its institutions and courts and dives into either a corrective or a profound reimagination of these so that they can better address rising global challenges. Leading experts in their areas present their new and cutting-edge perspectives. Divided into six parts the volume paints a vast yet solid thematic landscape of unique and critical approaches. The book invites and allows for a deep engagement with a wide range of opinions from across the world. It enables a free and courageous reimagining of the international legal order detached from the endless feasibility skepticism. The work will be fascinating reading for students academics and researchers working in the areas of International Law and International Relations. | Reimagining the International Legal Order

The Routledge Handbook of International Law and Anthropocentrism

This handbook explores contextualises and critiques the relationship between anthropocentrism – the idea that human beings are socially and politically at the centre of the cosmos – and international law. While the critical study of anthropocentrism has been under way for several years it has either focused on specific subfields of international law or emanated from two distinctive strands inspired by the animal rights movement and deep ecology. This handbook offers a broader study of anthropocentrism in international law as a global legal system and academic field. It assesses the extent to which current international law is anthropocentric contextualises that claim in relation to broader critical theories of anthropocentrism and explores alternative ways for international law to organise relations between humans and other living and non-living entities. This book will interest international lawyers environmental lawyers legal theorists social theorists and those concerned with the philosophy and ethics of ecology and the non-human realms.

The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South

Responding to mounting calls to decenter and decolonize journalism The Routledge Companion to Journalism in the Global South examines not only the deep-seated challenges associated with the historical imposition of Western journalism standards on constituencies of the Global South but also the opportunities presented to journalists and journalism educators if they choose to partake in international collaboration and education. This collection returns to fundamental questions around the meaning value and practices of journalism from alternative methodological theoretical and epistemological perspectives. These questions include: What really is journalism? Who gets to and who is qualified to define it? What role do ethics play? What are the current trends challenges and opportunities for journalism in the Global South? How is news covered reported written and edited in non-Western settings? What can journalism players living and working in industrialized markets learn from their non-Western colleagues and counterparts and vice versa? Contributors challenge accepted universal ethical standards while showing the relevance of customs traditions and cultures in defining and shaping local and regional journalism. Showcasing some of the most important research on journalism in the Global South and by journalists based in the Global South this companion is key reading for anyone researching the principles and practices of journalism from a de-essentialized perspective.

The Routledge Handbook of Early Christian Philosophy

This volume offers the most comprehensive survey available of the philosophical background to the works of early Christian writers and the development of early Christian doctrine. It examines how the same philosophical questions were approached by Christian and pagan thinkers; the philosophical element in Christian doctrines; the interaction of particular philosophies with Christian thought; and the constructive use of existing philosophies by all Christian thinkers of late antiquity. While most studies of ancient Christian writers and the development of early Christian doctrine make some reference to the philosophic background this is often of an anecdotal character and does not enable the reader to determine whether the likenesses are deep or superficial or how pervasively one particular philosopher may have influenced Christian thought. This volume is designed to provide not only a body of facts more compendious than can be found elsewhere but the contextual information which will enable readers to judge or clarify the statements that they encounter in works of more limited scope. With contributions by an international group of experts in both philosophy and Christian thought this is an invaluable resource for scholars of early Christianity Late Antiquity and ancient philosophy alike. | The Routledge Handbook of Early Christian Philosophy

The Routledge Handbook of Paleopathology

The Routledge Handbook of Paleopathology provides readers with an overview of the study of ancient disease. The volume begins by exploring current methods and techniques employed by paleopathologists as means to highlight the range of data that can be generated the types of questions that can be methodologically addressed our current limitations and goals for the future. Building on these foundations the volume introduces a range of diseases and conditions that have been noted in the fossil archaeological and historical record offering readers a foundational understanding of pathological conditions along with their potential etiologies. Importantly an evolutionary and highly contextualized assessment of diseases and conditions will be presented in order to demonstrate the need for adopting anthropological biological and clinical approaches when exploring the past and interpreting the modern world. The volume concludes with the contextualization of paleopathological research. Chapters highlight ways in which analyses of health and disease in skeletal and mummified remains reflect political and social constructs of the past and present. Health and disease are tackled within evolutionary perspectives across deep time and generationally and the nuanced interplay between disease and behavior is explored. The volume will be indispensable for archaeologists bioarchaeologists and historians and those in medical fields as it reflects current scholarship within paleopathology and the field’s impact on our understanding of health and disease in the past the present and implications for our future.

The Routledge Handbook of Material Religion

The Routledge Handbook of Material Religion places objects and bodies at the center of scholarly studies of religious life and practice. Propelling forward the study of material religion the Handbook first reveals the deep philosophical roots of its key categories and then advances new critical analytics such as queer materialities inescapable material entanglements and hyperobjects that explode the small-scale personal view on religions. The Handbook comprises thirty chapters written by an international team of contributors who offer a global perspective of religious pasts and presents divided into four thematic parts: Genealogies of Material Religion Materializing the Terms of the Study of Religion Entanglements Entrapment Escaping Hyperobjects or How Ginormous Things Affect Religions In these four parts the study of material religion is redirected towards systematic critical interrogations of the imbrication of religious structures of power with racial economic political and gendered forms of domination. From Spinoza’s political theology to African philosophies of ubuntu; from the queer materialities of Mesoamerican religion to the Satanic Temple of the United States; from Islamic love and sacrifice in human-animal entanglements to Shia militants’ attachment to weaponry; from epidemic cataclysm in Latin America to vast infrastructures and the gathering of millions in India’s Kumbh Mela the study of material religion proves to be the study par excellence of the human condition. The Handbook is essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies anthropology history and media studies and will also be of interest to those in related fields such as archeology sociology and philosophy.

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

For years exploration of seabed natural resources has been ongoing while exploitation in deep marine areas remained unrealistic due to land-based mineral availability and costs. However mounting pressures from the green transition climate change and long-lasting fears of terrestrial minerals scarcity now bring exploitation prospects closer to reality. This has caused concern to a growing chorus of States scientists industries NGOs and parts of civil society due to the potential environmental and social impacts of these activities. As a result the idea of a moratorium or ‘precautionary pause’ is gaining ground. Yet an important number of interpretation and implementation issues of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Agreement remain to be answered as a means to move forward in accordance with international law. This multidisciplinary book designed to become the essential handbook on the matter provides a global overview of the national regional and international regulatory frameworks applicable to the exploration and exploitation of seabed minerals on the continental shelf and the Area as well as the related state of the science on the matter. By presenting historical and geopolitical context crucial to understanding regulation evolution the book equips readers with foundational legal and policy knowledge. It furthermore addresses contemporary and prospective issues and offers unique insights into regional and national practices including non-Party States to UNCLOS.

Routledge Handbook of Violent Extremism and Resilience

At a time of great global uncertainty and instability communities face fracturing from the increasing influence of extremist movements hostile to democratic and multicultural norms. Europe and the West have grown increasingly polarised in recent years beset with financial crises political instability the rise of malicious actors and irregular violence and new forms of media and social media. These factors have enabled the spread of new forms of extremism and suggest a growing need for a response sensitive to inequalities and divisions in wider society – a task made even more urgent by the COVID- 19 pandemic. The Routledge Handbook of Violent Extremism and Resilience brings together research conducted throughout Europe and the world to analyse various articulations of violent extremism and consider the impact that such groups and networks have had on the wellbeing of communities and societies. It examines different theories factors and national case studies of extremism polarisation and societal fragmentation drilling deep into national examples to map trends across Europe North America and Australasia to provide regional and state-level comparative analysis. It also offers a thorough exploration of resilience – a recent addition to counterextremism policy and practice – to consider how it has come to play this increasingly central role in Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (P/ CVE) the limitations and opportunities of such approaches and how it could be shared developed problematised and deployed in response to violence and polarisation. The Handbook details new trends in both violent extremism and counter-extremism response within this increasingly fractured global context. It critically explores the latest theories of community violence extremism polarisation and resilience mapping them across case study countries. In doing so it presents new findings for students researchers practitioners and policymakers seeking to understand these new patterns of polarisation and extremism and develop community-driven responses.

It offers invaluable theoretical and practical guidance for studying to become an effective teacher or coach and for anyone who wants to inspire children and young people to engage in and enjoy sport for life. The book also focuses on you as a learner in sport prompting you to reflect critically on the ways in which your early learning experiences might affect your ability to diagnose the learning needs of young people with very different needs. Sport Pedagogy is about learning in practice. It refers both the ways in which children and young people learn and the pedagogical knowledge and skills that teachers and coaches need to support them to learn effectively. Sport pedagogy is the study of the place where sport and education come together. The study of sport pedagogy has three complex dimensions that interact to form each pedagogical encounter: Knowledge in context - what is regarded as essential or valuable knowledge to be taught coached or learnt is contingent upon historical social and political contextual factors that define practice; Learners and learning -at the core of sport pedagogy is expertise in complex learning theories and a deep understanding of diversity and its many impacts on the ways in which young learners can learn; Teachers/teaching and coaches/coaching - effective teachers and coaches are lifelong learners who can harness the power of sport for diverse children and young people. Gaining knowledge and understanding of the three dimensional concept of sport pedagogy is the first step towards ensuring that the rights of large numbers of children and young people to effective learning experiences in and through sport are not denied. The book is organised into three sections: background and c | Sport Pedagogy An Introduction for Teaching and Coaching
