Law and legal discourse both presuppose and produce legal subjects. Views on the nature of the legal subject will constantly shift, therefore, with changes in the law. Contextual Subjects argues that a new view of the legal subject has indeed emerged and that it is now embedded in the social context and relationships. This claim is developed through a contrast of Canadian family law and administrative law as it was in the mid-twentieth century and as it is today. Robert Leckey argues that it is not only the subject that is contextual. Legal discourse and adjudication have also become more contextual, making family law and administrative law themselves contextual subjects. Leckey bolsters thi...

Over the course of the previous seven editions, Pediatric Nephrology has become the standard reference text for students, trainees, practicing physicians (pediatricians, nephrologists, internists, and urologists), subspecialists, and allied health professionals seeking information about children’s kidney diseases.

This Element analyses the political dynamics of neo-extractivism in Latin America. It discusses the critical concepts of neo-extractivism and the commodity consensus and the various phases of socio-environmental conflict, proposing an eco-territorial approach that uncovers the escalation of extractive violence. It also presents horizontal concepts and debates theories that explore the language of Latin American socio-environmental movements, such as Buen Vivir and Derechos de la Naturaleza. In concluding, it proposes an explanation for the end of the progressive era, analyzing its ambiguities and limitations in the dawn of a new political cycle marked by the strengthening of the political rights.
This book gives a new compelling meaning to the metaphor of ‘Global South’ against the background of the global political challenge to international order, driven not only through the BRICS grouping, but also by the activities of middle powers striving to alter the political status quo. Expert contributors highlight the interplay between politics, economy, and security, offering insights into how the Global South perceives and responds to pivotal events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2008 Financial Crisis. They uncover how non-Western countries interpret and react to these turning points, and explore a diverse array of interests, values, and political behaviours often misunderstood in the West. The volume also examines whether initiatives from the Global South can reshape global governance institutions, influence the existing structures, and provide a historical and philosophical context to understand the continuities and changes in global governance. Ideal for scholars and students, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the rise and influence of the Global South, BRICS, global governance, and the evolving international system.
