David
J. Bederman. Custom as a source of law. Cambridge University Press,
2010. K282.B43
2010 This
book examines the role of custom in law through a rigorous
multidisciplinary, historical, and comparative approach, offering a fresh
perspective on custom's enduring place in both domestic and international
law. It also explores whether custom is source of law that we should
embrace in modern, sophisticated legal systems, or whether the notion of law
from below is outdated, or even dangerous, today. |

Simon
Chesterman. One nation under surveillance : a new social contract to
defend freedom without sacrificing liberty. Oxford University Press,
2011. HM851.C44
2011 This book proposes a move away from questions of whether governments should collect information and onto more problematic and relevant questions concerning its use. By reframing the relationship between privacy and security in the language of a social contract, mediated by a citizenry who are active participants rather than passive targets, this book offers a framework to defend freedom without sacrificing liberty. |
