From Cape Town to Kabul : rethinking strategies for pursuing women's human rights by Penelope Andrews( )

21 editions published between 2012 and 2016 in English and held by 476 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Using her experience of living under apartheid and witnessing its downfall and the subsequent creation of new governments in South Africa, the author examines and compares gender inequality in societies undergoing political and economic transformation. By applying this process of legal transformation as a paradigm, the author applies this model to Afghanistan. These two societies serve as counterpoints through which the book engages, in a nuanced and novel way, with the many broader issues that flow from the attempts in newly democratic societies to give effect to the promise of gender equality. Developing the idea of 'conditional interdependence', the book suggests a new approach based on the communitarian values which underpin newly democratic societies and which would allow women's rights to gain momentum and reap greater benefits"--P.

Law and rights : global perspectives on constitutionalism and governance( Book )

6 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 118 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This book contributes to current legal and political debates regarding the rule of law, constitutionalism and rights enforcement. The authors explore the context, substance and meaning of constitutionalism in comparative perspective, as well as the influence of constitutionalism to national and global democracy endeavors and the rule of law. They analyze and interpret these issues from the perspectives of those who administer and implement constitutional mandates, such as legislators and judges. But they also examine constitutionalism from the perspectives of those who especially stand to benefit from constitutional provisions, particularly social and economic rights, and their enforcement. The authors individually and collectively provide a rich global constitutional tableau, with chapters covering the USA, South Africa, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Penelope Andrews (B.A. LL. B (Natal) LL. M. (Columbia), is a Visiting Professor at Valparaiso University Law School (on leave from CUNY Law School).

Susan Bazilli (B.A. Hons. (Queens) LL. B. (Osgoode Hall), is currently the Director of the International Women's Rights Project (IWRP) based jointly at the Centre for Global Studies, University of Victoria, Canada, and in Johannesburg, South Africa.

For Martin Chanock : essays on law and society( Book )

3 editions published between 2010 and 2012 in English and held by 49 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Martin Chanock's insights into the construction of African 'customary' law and the architecture of South African racial oppression provide the starting points for this volume, which includes: * Professor Martin Chanock?s preview of his book on the difficult history of African constitutionalism, and the potential promise of a return to a living customary law; * Professor Chris Arup on the ways that cause lawyering in Australia (as elsewhere) is shaped by its setting, and the ways that Chanock, as an educator, worked to affect that setting; * Professor Frank Munger on cause lawyering and grassroots advocacy as a path to liberty even in systems lacking legalist traditions; * Professor Stephen Ellmann on the value of South African legalism, in light of Chanock's insight that a racist system of law is affected by race in every aspect of its operation; * Professor Hugh Corder on the role of South Africa's highest courts in the making of the state, both in the early 20th century and today; * Professor Jonathan Todres on Chanock's analysis of customary law as a key to understanding the ways the global North views African states? and itself; * Professor Julia Sloth-Nielsen and Dr Lea Mwambene on the complicated integration of customary law into the ordinary law of post-apartheid South Africa; and * Professor Fareda Banda on the?centrality? of Chanock's work in understanding African law, and the impact of his thinking on scholarship and advocacy."--Back cover
