Biagi, Marco.
Quality of Work and Employee Involvement in Europe. The
Hague: Kluwer Law International, 2002. xiv, 315 pp. Hardcover. Fine.
Publisher's Price $87. Special $50.
*
Studies in Employment and Social Policy series. The eighteen
essays in this volume concentrate on the issues surrounding workers'
participation, the area of industrial relations uppermost in Marco
Biagi's thinking at the time of his assassination in March 2002. In
what amounts to an integrated series of recommendations for further
European legislation on workers' participation in industrial
relations, the authors analyze and evaluate the following:
experience gained from implementation of the European Works Council
Directive and the European Company Statute Directive; implications
of the new Directive on Information/Consultation in National
Undertakings and of the European Forum on the Financial
Participation of Workers; and experience in a variety of national
contexts, including those of Japan, Italy, France, Belgium, the
United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Poland, and Slovenia. In the final
analysis, employee involvement--when it is a genuine commitment on
the part of all stakeholders--is seen as a sharing of cultural
values that successfully reconciles efficiency and social justice.

between combatants and civilians, legitimate military objectives
and the protection of the environment and cultural property. Numerous
specific topics that have attracted much interest in recent hostilities
are addressed, such as human shields, feigned surrenders, collateral
damage and proportionality, belligerent reprisals and weapons
of mass destruction. See illustration below.

Consists of international law as it applies to the United States,
and domestic law that has substantial impact on the foreign
relations of the United States or has other important international
consequences. For the most part, the domestic component of the law
restated in the book is federal law, deriving mainly from the
Constitution, acts of Congress, and judicial decisions. The
international law restated stems largely from customary
international law and international agreements to which the United
States is a party.

Gardam, Judith.
Necessity, Proportionality and the Use of Force by States.
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, [2004]. xxiii, 259, [3] pp.
ISBN 0521837529. Cloth in dust jacket. New. $90.
* There
has been considerable debate concerning the legality of the forceful
actions in Kosovo in 1999, Afghanistan in 2002 and Iraq in 2003
under the United Nations Charter. There has been consensus, however,
that the use of force in all these situations had to be both proportional
and necessary. Against the background of these recent armed conflicts,
this book offers the first comprehensive assessment of the twin
requirements of proportionality and necessity as legal restraints
on the forceful actions of States. See illustration below.

* "Mrs
Sieghart's book (...) undertakes a searching analysis of the
administrative process in France, and this analysis is valuable as
it enables us to compare our system with the French. It shows us,
too, that since our system has been piecemeal and unplanned it
offers none of the safeguards which are constitutionally inherent in
France. The book falls into three parts: the English system, the
French system, both treated historically, and a concluding chapter
on the writer's conclusions and recommendations. The volume is well
written and documented...": Scottish Law Review 66:114-115

Sterba, James P., Editor.
Terrorism and International Justice.
New York: Oxford University Press, 2003. 272 pp. Cloth. New. $45.
* Since
9/11 we need to better understand the terrorism we face and reflect
upon how we should best respond to it. Edited by James P. Sterba,
this collection of new essays on terrorism and international justice
focuses on three central questions: What is the nature and rhetoric
of terrorism? ,Who are the terrorists and why do they hate? and What
is a morally justified response to terrorism? Prominent philosophers
and political thinkers--including Shannon E. French, Tomis Kapitan,
Noam Chomsky, David B. Burrell, Robert L. Phillips, Zayn Kassam,
Louis P. Pojman, Daniele Archibugi, Iris Marion Young, Claudia Card,
Richard W. Miller, Martha C. Nussbaum, and Sterba himself--provide
diverse perspectives on these and other related questions. The first
post-9/11 collection of primarily philosophical articles on this
topic, this book is ideal for courses in moral problems and ethics,
social and political philosophy, war and terrorism, international
relations and foreign policy, and peace studies. It will also
interest anyone who wants to delve more deeply into the
philosophical issues of the post-9/11 world.

Judicial Protection Through the Use of Article 288(2)EC.
The Hague: Kluwer Law International, 2002. xxiv, 356 pp. Cloth
in dust jacket. Fine. Publisher's Price $100. Special $60.
* The
first in-depth analysis of a "hot spot" in EC law. With
prodigious scholarship, this study investigates the relevant case
law of the Court of Justice from the standpoint of the fundamental
legal principles involved. Maintains the accountability of Community
Institutions, so important where democratic controls are weak,
has been subordinated to the responsibility to compensate and
that his "compensation culture," in an ostensible effort
to protect the individual, is wreaking havoc with the principles
of responsibility and liability that underlie the rule of law,
especially in the commercial context. Identifies an erosion of
basic democratic principles and points the way to ensuring that
policies claimed to be in the public interest actually serve that
public interest. An intriguing and perceptive analysis.
