  • The political rise of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement in the United States has sparked unprecedented interest in US food and farm policy, including subjects such as food chemicals, pesticides, and ultra-processed foods. Kennedy and his adherents in the MAHA movement are demanding sweeping reforms of food and farm policies, challenging powerful interest groups, and inviting new questions from food consumers. Remaking Food and Farm Policy in the United States examines how food and farm law and policy dramatically impacts food safety, food prices, nutrition, hunger, and the fate of the people who feed us. The book summarizes law and policy related to nutrition, hunger, food labels, food marketing, food chemicals, farm subsidies, farm pollution, farm animal welfare, and food and farm workers. It considers how the MAHA movement may reshape our food and looks forward, proposing needed policy reforms.

  • As artificial intelligence and data-based digital surveillance rapidly expand in schools and universities via educational technology, educational communities are urgently seeking ways to protect student privacy and reclaim control over their data. Governing Educational Technology in Schools and Universities provides a vital roadmap for understanding and combating these systemic challenges. The book features nine unique case studies that innovatively apply the Governing Knowledge Commons (GKC) and Critical Informatics (CI) frameworks to expose the deep power imbalances inherent in modern EdTech. The book explores a diverse range of critical topics, including AI-powered plagiarism detection, the chilling effects of 'smart university' surveillance, and the media's framing of the 'algorithmic turn'. Moving beyond mere critique, this essential guide equips readers with actionable collective strategies-from academic labor union organizing to decentralized data models-to democratize technology governance and champion digital self-determination. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

The Reflective Choice Theory of Consumer Law
  • Syzmon Osmola

  • Modern consumption is based on choice. But what if consumer choices are poorly informed, overly constrained, or subject to manipulation and other forms of undue influence? This book offers an original, autonomy-based account of consumer law, arguing that its core function is to facilitate reflective choices: choices consumers can reasonably endorse. Moving beyond predominant narratives, the book offers a comprehensive theory that reconceptualises fundamental tools of consumer law, including disclosure duties, advertising law, unfair terms control, remedies, and withdrawal rights. Combining abstract theory with comprehensive doctrinal analysis of EU consumer law, the book demonstrates how the quality of consumer choices can be improved at different stages of their market interactions with traders. The book confronts contemporary challenges related to digital consumer markets and demonstrates the limits of consumer law in addressing social inequality and environmental sustainability. It will interest everyone seeking understanding of how consumer law shapes modern market life.

Strategic Open Justice
  • How Courts Communicate
  • Jane Johnston
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    December 2026
    Print publication:
    31 December 2026
  • Strategic Open Justice examines how fusing two fundamental components of modern democratic societies – strategic communication and open justice – has begun a revolutionary change in the way courts manage their public media and communication practice. It explores historic developments that have led to contemporary media and communication operations in the courts and how these both build and challenge public opinion and community confidence in the administration of justice and the judicial arm of government. The cross-disciplinary approach combines theory and practice from law, media and journalism, strategic communication, and narratology in a single, internationally researched volume. Examining concepts such as publicity, transparency, media platforms, big data, AI, and open justice itself, it presents a thought-provoking analysis of how contemporary open justice developed and changed, the actors involved, how communication and media drive engagement, and the challenges and benefits in modernising court communication practices, cultures, and traditions.

The Science Divide
  • Covid, Climate Change, and the Crisis of Democracy
  • Michael A. Livingston
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    December 2026
    Print publication:
    31 December 2026
  • Global issues, such as worsening climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought the clash between scientific experts and the broader voting public into stark relief. While experts perceive a 'war on science' that threatens truth and logic itself, many others perceive an elite effort to impose its will on the remainder of society. The Science Divide considers the issue of science and democracy in three societies-the United States, Sweden, and Japan-looking closely at pandemic and climate questions. The book also considers the Trump Administration's clash with academia and the emerging AI problem. Timely and comprehensive, The Science Divide is a key resource for anyone concerned about the fate of our scientific establishments and the future of our democracies.

Pardons
  • Discretionary Mercy and the Rule of Law in Britain and America, 1066–2026
  • Frank O. Bowman III
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    December 2026
    Print publication:
    31 October 2026
  • Pardons is an unprecedented history of the pardon power, chronicling how British monarchs and American presidents have wielded clemency to afford mercy, reconcile societies, and exert executive supremacy. The book traces the pardon power from its origins as an attribute of absolute monarchy to its adoption by the American Framers as one of the few enumerated powers of the president of the United States. It tells the stories, human and political, of all forty-five presidents who have wielded the pardon power and of those they pardoned. The book argues that the increasing abuse of presidential clemency and the effective elimination of impeachment and criminal prosecution as constraints on presidential misconduct have made the pardon power a threat to the rule of law. To address this growing danger, Pardons calls for presidential pardon powers to be eliminated or transferred to Congress by constitutional amendment.

The African Renaissance in the Age of Globalization

  • Foreign investments may play a pivotal role in promoting the sustainable development of Africa. This book charts Africa's investment law revolution through the lens of the continent's Renaissance. It provides a rigorous and critical examination of how the continent is reshaping the rules of engagement. In many respects, African States and organizations have been extremely proactive and innovative in reforming investment treaties. They have continuously sought to strike a balance between, on the one hand, the effective protection of foreign investments, both in substantive and procedural terms, and, on the other hand, the legitimate exercise by the host State of its regulatory powers. These efforts have resulted in legal instruments that now feature important provisions on environmental protection, human rights, corporate social responsibility, labour standards, and public health.

Misuses of Comparative Law in International Development
  • Fernanda G. Nicola
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:

    31 December 2026
  • Misuses of Comparative Law in International Development examines how comparative law has been deployed by international organizations, governments, and NGOs to legitimize legal reforms that entrench inequality and reinforce power hierarchies. These reforms often align development agendas with neoliberal and authoritarian logics. The book exposes the flawed assumptions—such as convergence, efficiency, and legalism-that underpin transnational reform projects like the World Bank's indicators and the harmonization initiatives of the EU and OECD. It shows how these frameworks misrepresent local contexts and silence alternative legal traditions. Introducing a new typology of misuse-from cannibalization to epistemic impoverishment—it reveals how comparative law frequently operates as a tool of domination rather than emancipation. Bridging critique and utopia, the book re-characterizes these misuses as social constructions and reimagines comparative law as a vehicle for equitable, context-sensitive, and redistributive legal reform.

Forgotten Hills
  • Law, Environment, and Social Transformations on the Frontiers of Tibet and China
  • Wesley B. Chaney
  • Coming soon
  • Expected online publication date:
    December 2026
    Print publication:
    30 September 2026
  • Forgotten Hills is a book about lost geographies. It is about how the subordination of mountainous Tibet to lowland China meant the erasure of the hills between, and how the legal, environmental, and social transformations of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries hardened boundaries between Tibetan, Chinese, and Muslim peoples, obscuring the histories and practices that had bound hill folk together for generations. Wesley B. Chaney tells the story of this transformation by exploring small communities on the ferociously complex “mid-slope”—the hills along the northeastern edges of the Tibetan Plateau. Drawing from legal cases, genealogies, and Tibetan-language histories, Forgotten Hills illustrates how disputes over traditional landholding regimes erupted into violent conflict over resources and ethnic and religious identity. The ethno-politics that define modern China, this book reveals, arose from the legal disputes and everyday politics of the now forgotten hills.

Illicit Trade under International Law

  • Billions flow through illicit trade annually, harming societies and economies, yet the International Community struggle to respond effectively. This book provides a groundbreaking, integrated perspective, bridging the divide between Public International Law and WTO Law to offer a cohesive strategy against illicit trade. It starts by proposing a much-needed definition and innovative typologies – like per se vs de facto – to systematically understand the phenomenon. Real-world case studies and analysis of state regulatory measures illustrate the practical challenges. The author critiques the WTO's evasive stance, dissecting key dispute settlement cases, and introduces the concept of 'International Law Against Illicit Trade' (ILAIT) based on established legal principles. Offering more than mere critique, the book culminates in specific, actionable proposals for WTO reform, making a compelling case for adapting trade rules to fight illicit trade effectively. This book is a vital resource for anyone involved in international trade law and policy.

  • Addressing water insecurity through increased investment in water infrastructure and technologies has become a key priority in several arid and water scarce countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Yet, advancing water security is not solely technological - it also has profound law and policy implications. Given the implication of water security for sanitation, food, energy, land, human rights, peace and conflict prevention in the region, holistic legal and institutional frameworks that advance the sustainable management of water resources across all sectors are essential. This book offers a comprehensive and authoritative account of the guiding principles and rules on water in the MENA region. It introduces readers to the applicable legislation, institutions and rules underpinning the design, approval, financing and application of water infrastructure and technologies across the MENA region. It concludes with reflections and recommendations on legal and regulatory innovations that can help unlock sustainable and rights-based implementation of water law and policy in the MENA region.

  • This Handbook provides the first comprehensive examination of the legal strategies around the world shaping sustainability in global value chains. Bringing together leading scholars, it maps how diverse legal disciplines (including corporate law, labour law, tax law, tort law, private law, environmental law, international law and more) conceptualise and regulate the complex architectures of cross-border production. Through a unifying analytical framework, the book reveals how fragmented regulatory approaches can complement one another, and how legal tools may address the environmental, social, and economic challenges that global production networks create and sustain. Covering jurisdictions across the globe and engaging with emerging regulatory instruments such as due diligence laws, sustainability reporting obligations, climate transition plans, and international taxation initiatives, this Handbook offers an indispensable resource for academics, policymakers, practitioners, and students concerned with responsible business conduct and sustainable development. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

  • What is the moral foundation of human rights, justice, and the rule of law? In a time of deep cultural and political division, this volume charts the rich history of one of the most enduring ideas in Western thought: that moral and legal norms are rooted in human nature and accessible to reason. Spanning ancient, medieval, early modern, and contemporary traditions-including Islamic and African-American perspectives-the volume shows how Natural Law has evolved and how it continues to shape debates in ethics, politics, and jurisprudence. With chapters on Aristotle, Aquinas, Grotius, Locke, and the American Founders, as well as modern voices like Jacques Maritain and Martin Luther King, it offers both historical depth and philosophical clarity. Essential reading for students and scholars in philosophy, law, theology, and political theory, it invites readers to rediscover a tradition that speaks urgently to the moral challenges of our time.

Human Rights for the Data Society
  • Big Tech, the UN and the Datafication of Rights

  • In the 2010s, the United Nations embarked on a series of projects to embrace and respond to digital data technologies as part of its human rights agenda. Human Rights for the Data Society argues that these efforts produced a world in which the biggest technology corporations and their data technologies are widely accepted as indispensable to the international human rights project: the data society. The UN did this through a series of technical projects that produce 'datafied' forms of human rights, whereby core concepts and practices of rights are understood by reference to or performed through digital data technologies, and where the human of human rights recedes into the data. Thus, when human rights practitioners – at the UN and beyond – use datafied forms of human rights, they play a significant role in making the data society possible. By the same token, they also play a significant role in foreclosing alternative possibilities – of worlds in which human rights and digital data technologies might be imagined differently.

Anti-Corruption Corporate Compliance
  • Legal Reforms in the Global South and North
  • Dalila Martins Viol
  • Coming soon

    30 November 2026
  • How are corporate compliance programs becoming a central feature of global anti-corruption governance, and what legal forces truly drive their spread? This groundbreaking book offers the first global mapping of the legal developments that promote compliance programs across both the Global North and the Global South. Challenging the Northern-centric focus of existing scholarship, it reveals how seemingly aligned reforms mask deeply diverse designs of local legal strategies. By developing an original taxonomy and interrogating the role of the International Anti-Corruption Regime, the book reshapes our understanding of how compliance is legally constructed and incentivized in contemporary corporate practices. Adopting a comparative perspective, this work positions compliance program studies as a vital and emerging field within legal scholarship.

Constitutionalism 2050
  • Planetary Challenges, Statist Thinking
  • Ran Hirschl
  • Coming soon

    30 November 2026
  • The spread of state-centered constitutions and constitutionalism as a dominant branch of public law and a lingua franca of contemporary politics and policymaking is arguably one of the most significant developments in late twentieth and early twenty-first century governance. Yet, as we head into an age defined by planetary challenges, the current crisis of constitutional democracy provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the constitutional project. Drawing on an extensive interdisciplinary and comparative inquiry, this book highlights the stark disconnect between constitutionalism's statist foundations and the existential, planetary challenges we face as humanity: mass global migration, climate change, unequal access to essential natural resources, and radical technological transformation governed by unruly multinational corporations. Ran Hirschl's expert analysis exposes the questionable suitability of the dominant form of constitutionalism, and of contemporary state-based public law more generally, to lead us effectively into the planetary epoch.
