Unjust Authority
Unjust Authority addresses a systematic weakness in contemporary political theory and philosophy.Most contemporary political theorists and philosophers are unable to explain, vindicate, or justify the authority of the liberal democratic institutions that they live under.Instead, they endorse moralist accounts of the right to rule which require governments to meet impossibly high standards to avoid condemnation as illegitimate usurpers.This is true not just of the dominant Rawlsian mainstream, but of many of its radical critics, whose membership of more critical traditions leaves them sceptical of the value of existing institutions, even where they provide stable, decent rule.The book instead provides a realist account of the authority of liberal democratic rule focused on impersonal rule and regulated democratic competition.It uses groundbreaking work in political economy to explain how, at least reasonably favourable conditions, these two mechanisms can be expected to combine to generate a growing surplus whose fruits will be made widely available.The prosperity and protection provided by liberal democratic rule to most of those it governs forms the basis of its authority, even though the hierarchies and exclusions that remain leave liberal democratic societies a long way from justice.Understanding liberal democratic authority in this way allows us to reassess challenges to it.While anger and even violence may then be acceptable and even appropriate, even peaceful attempts to remove the winners of democratic elections must be condemned.

Unjust Enrichment and Countervailing Obligations
This book explores the relationship between the English law of unjust enrichment and legal obligations arising from other branches of the law.It examines the question, primarily, by considering how English courts resolve conflicts between restitution claims and countervailing legal entitlements.This is much needed given recent cases such as IEG v Zurich Insurance and Avonwick Holdings Ltd v Azitio Holdings Ltd clearly showing the differing positions taken by English courts on the question.By applying insights from the theory of unjust enrichment to Anglo-Australian case law, this study gives a welcome cogent explanation of a complex question.

Tax Cooperation in an Unjust World
The way that nation states design their tax systems impacts the sharing of resources and wealth within and across societies.To date, wealthy countries have made tax policy design and coordination choices which allow them to claim more than they are justifiably entitled to from the global economy.In Tax Cooperation in an Unjust World, Allison Christians and Laurens van Apeldoorn show how this presently accepted reality both facilitates and feeds off continued human suffering, and therefore violates conceptions of international distributive justice.They examine two principles that govern tax cooperation across states, and explain how the current international tax order impedes their realization.They then show how states could work toward fulfilling the principles and building a fairer international tax system via incremental yet effective adaptation of key international tax norms and rules.

The Scope and Structure of Unjust Enrichment
This ambitious book grapples with the complex debates ongoing on the structure of unjust enrichment, proving to be a major contribution to the field. Responding to the subject’s critics, it presents a clearly articulated structure for this branch of private law, arguing that while unjust enrichment has the function of reversing defective enrichments (whether by performance or in another way) there is scope for normative pluralism in how the law achieves this.Drawing heavily on comparative material from Germany, Scotland and South Africa the book then argues for a legal framework which combines elements of the absence of basis and unjust factors approaches.It assesses how that structure can be mapped against the causes of action that make up unjust enrichment, arguing that some are performance claims - reversing a deliberate, intentional performance - and some are non-performance claims.Other claims, often included in books on unjust enrichment, such as “necessity” should be excluded from the subject area.The book concludes with a treatment of defences.

Exploitation as Domination : What Makes Capitalism Unjust
Exploitation is a globally pervasive phenomenon. Slavery, serfdom, and the patriarchy are part of its lineage.Temporary and sex workers, commercial surrogacy, precarious labour contracts, sweatshops, and markets in blood, vaccines or human organs, are some contemporary manifestations of exploitation.What makes these exploitative transactions unjust? And is capitalism inherently exploitative? This book offers answers to these two questions. Nicholas Vrousalis argues that exploitation is a form of domination, self-enrichment through the domination of others.On the domination view, exploitation complaints are not, fundamentally, about harm, coercion or unfairness.Rather, they are about who serves whom and why. Exploitation, in a word, is a dividend of servitude: the dividend the powerful extract from the servitude of the vulnerable.Vrousalis claims that this servitude is inherent to capitalist relations between consenting adults whereby capital is monetary control over the labour capacity of others.It follows that capitalism, the mode of production where capital predominates, is an inherently unjust social structure.

Just Discipleship : Biblical Justice in an Unjust World
Many Christians and churches are rediscovering that God cares deeply about justice, but opinions abound as to what an approach to biblical justice might look like in contemporary society.What exactly does the Bible mean by justice, and what does it have to do with poverty, racism, and other issues in our world?More importantly, how do we become the kind of people who practice justice?Biblical scholar Michael Rhodes argues that the Bible offers a vision of justice-oriented discipleship that is critical for the formation of God's people.Grounded in biblical theology, virtue ethics, and his own experiences, he shows that justice is central to the Bible, central to Jesus, and central to authentic Christian discipleship.Justice stands at the heart of Scripture. Following Jesus demands that we become just disciples in an unjust world.

Unjust Borders : Individuals and the Ethics of Immigration
States restrict immigration on a massive scale. Governments fortify their borders with walls and fences, authorize border patrols, imprison migrants in detention centers, and deport large numbers of foreigners.Unjust Borders: Individuals and the Ethics of Immigration argues that immigration restrictions are systematically unjust and examines how individual actors should respond to this injustice.Javier Hidalgo maintains that individuals can rightfully resist immigration restrictions and often have strong moral reasons to subvert these laws.This book makes the case that unauthorized migrants can permissibly evade, deceive, and use defensive force against immigration agents, that smugglers can aid migrants in crossing borders, and that citizens should disobey laws that compel them to harm immigrants.Unjust Borders is a meditation on how individuals should act in the midst of pervasive injustice.
