We are delighted to announce the first issue of the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Law Working Paper Series for 2018.
In this issue, Jonathan Jackson () reviews the international evidence on the nature, sources and consequences of police and legal legitimacy; Martin Loughlin () examines the impact that leaving the European Union is likely to have on Britain’s constitutional arrangements; Siva Thambisetty () examines the value of human rights arguments in reducing the access gap to patented medicines; Tatiana Cutts () argues that tracing money from one account to another involves a process that is wholly distinct from exchange product tracing, which she terms "dummy asset tracing"; Michael Wilkinson () argues that behind the constitutional crisis of the European Union lies the conjuncture of ‘authoritarian liberalism’, when politically authoritarian forms of governing emerge to protect the material order of economic liberalism; Jacco Bomhoff () argues that the US Supreme Court’s 1972 decision in The Bremen v. Zapata Off-Shore Co. should be understood not as a mere statement of principle or change in doctrine, but as a particularly striking instance of worldmaking; Michael Wilkinson and Hjalte Lokdam () survey recent approaches to the study of phenomena at the intersection of law, politics and the economy by exploring contemporary debates on inequality, inter-personal market relations, the relation between the state and market, and the effects of economic integration and globalisation on democracy and political self- determination; Devika Hovell () explores the implications of seeing universal jurisdiction in international criminal law as a claim to authority.
