Accessibility Denied: Understanding Inaccessibility and Everyday Resistance to Inclusion for Persons with Disabilities
This book explores the societal resistance to accessibility for persons with disabilities, and tries to set an example of how to study exclusion in a time when numerous policies promise inclusion.
With 12 chapters organised in three parts, the book takes a comprehensive approach to accessibility, covering transport and communication, knowledge and education, law and organisation. Topics within a wide cross-disciplinary field are covered, including disability studies, social work, sociology, ethnology, social anthropology, and history. The main example is Sweden, with its implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities within the context of the Nordic welfare state. By identifying and discussing persistent social and cultural conditions as well as recurring situations and interactions that nurture resistance to advancing accessibility, despite various strong laws promoting it, the book’s conclusions are widely transferable. It argues for the value of alternating between methods, theoretical perspectives, and datasets to explore how new arenas, resources and technologies cause new accessibility concerns — and possibilities — for persons living with impairments. We need to be able to follow actors closely to uncover how they feel, act, and argue, but also to connect to wider discursive and institutional patterns and systems.

The Problem of Enforcement in International Law: Countermeasures, the non-injured state and the idea of international community
This book explores the contentious topic of how collective and community interests should be protected and enforced in international law. Elena Katselli Proukaki takes a detailed look at the issue of third-state countermeasures, and considers the work the International Law Commission has done in this area. The volume addresses both the theory and practice of third-state countermeasures within international law. Critically reviewing the conclusions of the International Law Commission on the non-existence of a right to third-state countermeasures, it includes consideration of examples of State practice not previously covered in the literature of this topic.
In taking a thorough view of the issues involved the author identifi es among others concerns about third-state countermeasures which remain unanswered and considers the possible legal ramifi cations arising from a clash between a right to third-state countermeasures and obligations arising from other international norms. The Problem of Enforcement in International Law: Countermeasures, the Non-Injured State and the Idea of International Community explores questions evolving around the nature, integrity and effectiveness of international law and the role it is called to play in a contemporary context.
This book is of great interest and value not only for specialists in this area of international law, but also human rights, trade and EU lawyers, practitioners, legal advisers, and students.

Law and Justice in a Globalized World
Law and Justice is one of the umbrella topics of the APRISH Conference held by Universitas Indonesia in November 2016. This academic undertaking is designed to provide a forum for researchers to disseminate and exchange their research findings and reports on this topic within and around Asia-Pacific countries.
It is well understood that there is a growing role of the Asia-Pacific region in the world, in particular in terms of global economy and politics. At this juncture, it is only natural that law plays a very significant role in the shaping and maybe transformation in each country, in the sub region and in the region itself. In addition, the number of Asia-Pacific countries, the diversity of countries and also the different historical background as well as their legal development and challenges provide a fertile avenue for critical analysis and research. It is the expectation of Universitas Indonesia that this conference would serve as a forum to reflect upon important developments in the region in various areas of law and justice.
It is important to note that in this book, the collection of information and analysis on the existence, clarity, and implementation of law on particular issues in one country is intended to provide detailed explanation to readers in conjunction with the specific issue addressed. It is the intention of the conference holder to facilitate a venue for interaction and interconnection among researchers, in particular to forge further collaboration in future legal research and publishing.

Adopción
La relación entre realidad y regulación jurídica confluyen frecuentemente en algunas etapas y momentos históricos, como el actual, donde legisladores y juzgadores deben dilucidar de la mejor forma posible diversos intereses, derechos, leyes y libertades, entre otras consideraciones. Esta transversalidad no se encuentra exenta de tensiones ideológicas, morales, ius filosóficas y religiosas; algunas de las cuales se abordan en este compendio de jurisprudencia en torno a la adopción en nuestra legislación mexicana. Se expone la forma en que la Suprema Corte sopesa y jerarquiza el interés superior de la niñez, los derechos de la infancia y el pleno goce de derechos de sectores como los matrimonios del mismo sexo y quienes buscan ejercer una paternidad monoparental entre otros.

Peasants' rights and agrarian violence in transitional settings: From transitional justice to transformative agrarian justice
This article addresses why the rights of peasants and agrarian violencematter to justice promotion work that seeks to lay the groundwork forfuture peace and stability. Its central contention is that although rural peo-ple have participated in transitional justice processes, the field is yet toengage with peasants as a distinct social group, with the social, economic,and political issues they face, and with agrarian structures and processesthat underlie ongoing violence against them. The article argues that peas-ant rights and agrarian violence matter in light of four rural trends:Peasants in post-transition societies are routinely exposed to complex pat-terns of direct and indirect nonwar violence; justice interventions may beexpected in societies in which there have been large-scale agrarian pro-tests; the root causes of conflict are frequently located in structures andprocesses of agrarian change; and rural grievances associated with povertyand marginalization are facilitating and enabling the rise of authoritarianpopulism. The article reflects on the demands these trends create forresearch and practice, arguing that developing responses to agrarian vio-lence favors a radical, more transformative approach to agrarian justicethat engages with wider agrarian political economies and issues of classand gender.
