The Governance Gauge: Asserting Jurisdiction
We hope you’re enjoying your Sunday, and hope that this weekend’s Governance Gauge will get you ready for the coming week! For more reading materials, our reading list is constantly updated.
“Asserting Jurisdiction” is an assembly of essays and articles regarding the nature of jurisdiction and sovereignty by Bloomsbury legal literature publishing. The work goes into 3 primary questions:
- Does an institution have jurisdictional competence?
- What factors influence jurisdictional competence?
- What are the consequences of exercising jurisdictional competence?
The book is primarily focused on matters of international law, rather than legal philosophy.
The 14 chapters of the book refer to questions of jurisdiction within the EU, NATO, as well as questions of human and civil rights in the modern legal system.
Creators of zones and societies may not be as interested in this book as other groups — however, chapters 4, 5 and 7 have valuable insights on the zone creation business environments in Europe and North America.
Policymakers and analysts will find all chapters after chapter 9 useful — primarily in the fields of adjudication and jurisdictional recognition of various political bodies.
Scholars and experts can extract the theoretical insights from chapters 1–5 as well as the concrete legal examinations put forward in chapter 6. The sourcing is not as thorough as some may like, however.
The book can be purchased in hardcover here.
