Constitutionalism of the Global South
The Indian Supreme Court, the South African Constitutional Court and the Colombian Constitutional Court have been among the most important and creative courts in the Global South. In Asia, Africa and Latin America, they are seen as activist tribunals that have contributed (or attempted to contribute) to the structural transformation of the public and private spheres of their countries. The cases issued by these courts are creating a constitutionalism of the Global South. This book addresses in a direct and detailed way the jurisprudence of these Courts on three key topics: access to justice, cultural diversity and socioeconomic rights. This volume is a valuable contribution to the discussion about the contours and structure of contemporary constitutionalism. It makes explicit that this discussion has interlocutors both in the Global South and Global North while showing the common discourse between them and the differences on how they interpret and solve key constitutional problems.
Stolen Jewels
Blonde-haired, green-eyed Theresa Philips is having the time of her life learning about her heritage in her African-American Relations class. For years, she has dedicated herself to her son, her company, and her siblings. Now, she wants something for herself. Biracial Theresa finds it surprising her white side might possibly stop her from getting what she wants most: Pierson Brooks. But when her ex-husband comes back into the picture and attempts to kidnap her son, Pierson is the only person she can turn to for help. Pierson Brooks, local mechanic and former Philadelphia policeman, moved to New Orleans for a fresh start. A past relationship prevents him from being attracted to the white woman he helped with a flat tire, but her persistence is irresistible. He finds himself falling for her, and when she needs him most, he eagerly does what he thought he'd never do again: be a policeman.

The Handbook is divided into two main parts. The first part offers a panoramic introduction to the setting and issues which contemporary family policies have been designed to address.

Regulation and Supervision of the OTC Derivatives Market
The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market has captured the attention of regulators after the Global Financial Crisis due to the risk it poses to financial stability. Under the post-crisis regulatory reform the concentration of business, and risks, among a few major players is changed by the concentration of a large portion of transactions in the new market infrastructures, the Central Counterparties (CCPs). This book, for the first time, analyses the regulatory response of the United Kingdom and the United States, the two largest centres of OTC derivatives transactions, and highlights their shortcomings. The book uses a normative risk-based approach to regulation as a methodological lens...
