＜p＞In the late nineteenth century, progressive reformers recoiled at the prospect of the justice system punishing children as adults. Advocating that children’s inherent innocence warranted fundamentally different treatment, reformers founded the nation’s first juvenile court in Chicago in 1899. Yet amid an influx of new African American arrivals to the city during the Great Migration, notions of inherent childhood innocence and juvenile justice were circumscribed by race. In documenting how blackness became a marker of criminality that overrode the potential protections the status of “child” could have bestowed, Tera Eva Agyepong shows the entanglements between race and the state’s transition to a more punitive form of juvenile justice.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this important study, Agyepong expands the narrative of racialized criminalization in America, revealing that these patterns became embedded in a justice system originally intended to protect children. In doing so, she also complicates our understanding of the nature of migration and what it meant to be black and living in Chicago in the early twentieth century.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Near the end of the Civil War, Army Chief of Staff Henry W. Halleck described the 16th New York Volunteer Cavalry as "cowed and useless" after they were "cut up" by Confederate Colonel John Mosby's Rangers. The following April the New Yorkers made their place in history when 26 men led by Lieutenant Edward P. Doherty captured and killed John Wilkes Booth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞An amalgam of three partially formed regiments, the 16th was plagued by early desertions, poor leadership and a near mutiny as its First Battalion prepared to march to northern Virginia to bolster the outer defenses of Washington in October 1863. The regiment spent most of the remainder of the war chasing Mosby's cavalry. They won a few tactical victories but were mainly confounded by the Confederate guerrillas.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing on personal letters, diaries and memoirs by men of the 16th, and the recollections of Mosby's men, this deeply researched history provides fresh perspective on Mosby's exploits and the hunt for Booth.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Beyond Networks - Interlocutory Coalitions, the European and Global Legal Orders【電子書籍】[ Gianluca Sgueo ]

＜p＞This book explores the activism promoted by organised networks of civil society actors in opening up possibilities for more democratic supranational governance. It examines the positive and negative impact that such networks of civil society actors ? named “interlocutory coalitions” ? may have on the convergence of principles of administrative governance across the European legal system and other supranational legal systems.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The book takes two main controversial aspects into account: the first relates to the convergence between administrative rules pertaining to different supranational regulatory systems. Traditionally, the spread of methods of administrative governance has been depicted primarily against the background of the interactions between the domestic and the supranational arena, both from a top-down and bottom-up perspective. However, the exploration of interactions occurring at the supranational level between legal regimes is still not grounded on adequate empirical evidence. The second controversial aspect considered in this book consists of the role of civil society actors operating at the supranational level. In its discussion of the first aspect, the book focuses on the relations between the European administrative law and the administrative principles of law pertaining to other supranational regulatory regimes and regulators, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, the United Nations, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Asian Development Bank, and the Council of Europe. The examination of the second aspect involves the exploration of the still little examined, but crucial, role of civil society organised networks in shaping global administrative law. These “interlocutory coalitions” include NGOs, think tanks, foundations, universities, and occasionally activists with no formal connections to civil society organisations. The book describes such interlocutory coalitions as drivers of harmonized principles of participatory democracy at the European and global levels. However, interlocutory coalitions show a number of tensions (e.g. the governability of coalitions, the competition among them) that may hamper the impact they have on the reconfiguration of individuals’ rights, entitlements and responsibilities in the global arena.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞L'Europa travolta dal coronavirus ? dinanzi a una crisi che viene defi nita "senza precedenti". Effettivamente senza precedenti ? questa pandemia che ha costretto per settimane al lockdown pi? di quattro miliardi di persone in tutto il mondo. Non sono, per?, senza precedenti le difficolt? che la Ue sta incontrando nell'affrontare l'ennesima crisi degli ultimi dieci-quindici anni: difficolt? di ricomporre a livello europeo i divergenti interessi nazionali, di adeguare il proprio strumentario alle sfide che ha dinanzi, di essere solidale. Del resto, ? almeno dal 2014 che si parla di Unione Europea in "crisi esistenziale". In questa sede si prova a riflettere su alcune delle scelte politiche pi? significative che hanno causato tale crisi, per provare a individuarne ragioni e responsabilit?. Il volume offre un punto di vista forte sulla questione, sostenendo che troppo si ? indugiato sul ricondurre la crisi politica della Ue alla minaccia populista e sovranista. Lettura che ha alimentato una sottovalutazione della dimensione "esistenziale" della crisi europea e delle responsabilit? di un europeismo divenuto incapace di mettere in discussione lo status quo. Con questo lavoro si propone un'analisi che spazia oltre le ultime due legislature europee e, attraverso il confronto con personalit? del calibro di Giuliano Amato, Angelo Bagnasco e Suor Alessandra Smerilli, si avanza una proposta di metodo: solo un dibattito sulle ragioni dello stare assieme in Europa pu? alimentare un nuovo europeismo e, cos?, rilanciare il progetto di integrazione.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】A Treatise on Relics Unveiling the Controversial World of Relic Veneration in the 16th Century【電子書籍】[ Jean Calvin ]

＜p＞In "A Treatise on Relics," Jean Calvin delivers a rigorous examination of the veneration of relics within the context of Reformation thought. Employing a sharp theological lens, Calvin deconstructs the practice of honoring physical remains and artifacts attributed to saints, arguing that such practices detract from the purity of worship and undermine the centrality of scripture. His articulate prose reflects the polemical and reformative fervor of 16th-century Protestantism, positioning the treatise as both a rebuttal to Catholic traditions and an assertion of Reformed doctrines, emphasizing personal faith over material intermediaries. Calvin, a key figure in the Protestant Reformation, was profoundly influenced by his commitment to a return to scriptural authority and a rejection of perceived ecclesiastical abuses. His education in law and theology, combined with his pastoral experiences, equipped him to address the complexities of faith and practice in a rapidly changing religious landscape. His theological insights stemmed from a deep conviction that the true essence of Christianity lay within the unmediated relationship between the believer and God, rather than through relics. This treatise is essential for those seeking to understand the historical and theological arguments surrounding the Reformation. It serves as both a critical analysis of relics and a profound contribution to Protestant thought, making it invaluable for scholars and lay readers interested in the dynamics of faith and practice during a pivotal period in church history.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
