Analogical Reasoning in Law
This work tackles the most intriguing type of reasoning which one may employ within the field of law. In addition to the merits and drawbacks of legal analogy, it discusses the orthodox approaches to it, together with their critical analysis, also posing challenges that these conceptions have difficulty in managing. As an alternative, the book advances an account of legal analogical reasoning that correlates well with the division into rational and intuitive thinking that occurs in contemporary psychology. By doing so, many of the unique properties of legal analogy which have been traditionally associated with it and which have often been difficult to explain become readily understandable. Moreover, the very source of the almost mystical faith in power and infallibleness of such analogy is revealed here, while this faith—astonishing or not—not only escapes condemnation, but is shown to be warranted from a scientific point of view. Finally, the book also presents vast scope of application, premises, schematic structures and factors able to influence the force of legal analogy.
The Decision-Making Process of Investor-State Arbitration Tribunals
In the course of a single investor-state dispute, an arbitrator may make numerous decisions, from interpreting the treaty or national laws to taking into account case law, customs and policies. In practice, this process raises important issues regarding the consistency of decisions and the predictability and legitimacy of the decision-making process in general. Investment arbitration tribunals have developed a specialised process of legal decision making adapted to the interpretational needs that arise in the context of an investor-state dispute and to the transnational characteristics of the investment arbitration framework. This is the first book to offer an in-depth analysis of the transn...
Modernisation, National Identity and Legal Instrumentalism (Vol. II: Public Law)
The driving force of the dynamic development of world legal history in the past few centuries, with the dominance of the West, was clearly the demands of modernisation – transforming existing reality into what is seen as modern. The need for modernisation, determining the development of modern law, however, clashed with the need to preserve cultural identity rooted in national traditions. With selected examples of different legal institutions, countries and periods, the authors of the essays in the two volumes Modernisation, National Identity and Legal Instrumentalism: Studies in Comparative Legal History, vol. I: Private Law and Modernisation, National Identity and Legal Instrumentalism: Studies in Comparative Legal History, vol. II: Public Law seek to explain the nature of this problem. Contributors are Judit Beke-Martos, Jiří Brňovják, Marjorie Carvalho de Souza, Michał Gałędek, Imre Képessy, Ivan Kosnica, Simon Lavis, Maja Maciejewska-Szałas, Tadeusz Maciejewski, Thomas Mohr, Balázs Pálvölgyi, and Marek Starý.
Animal-human Relationships in Medieval Iceland
A multi-disciplinary investigation of the links between people and animals, in reality and representation.Domestic animals played a range of roles in the imaginative world of medieval Icelanders: from partners in settlement and household allies, to violent offenders, foster-kin and surrogate wives, they were vital and effective members of the multispecies communities established from the ninth century onwards.

Oddziaływanie prawa międzynarodowego na sądownictwo konstytucyjne w Polsce – perspektywa konstytucyjna
Praca imponuje rozmachem i szerokością ujęcia, zwłaszcza ze względu na dostrzeżenie kompletnego katalogu problemów związanych z kwestiami prawa międzynarodowego jako przedmiotu i wzorca kontroli w postępowaniu przed TK oraz oddziaływań standardów międzynarodowych na ustrój, organizację i procedurę postępowania TK. Publikacja zapełnia istotną lukę w dorobku doktryny prawa. Pod względem warsztatowym bardzo dojrzała, a źródłowo – niezwykle rzetelnie udokumentowana. Trzeba też podkreślić, że Autorka zachowuje samodzielność ocen, oraz że monografia nie jest pozbawiona waloru praktycznego, pokazując, gdzie znajdują się granice oddziaływania prawa międzynarodowego (i do pewnego stopnia także europejskiego) na funkcjonowanie i działalność orzeczniczą sądu konstytucyjnego. Z recenzji dr. hab. Zbigniewa Cieślaka, prof. UKSW oraz dr. hab. Piotra Szymańca, prof. PWSZ w Wałbrzychu
Viking Sırları (Yeditepe Yayınevi)
Çoğunlukla vahşi ve barbar olarak nitelendirilen Vikingler, onlar hakkında yapılan pek çok çalışmaya rağmen hâlen gizemler barındırmaktadır. Bu kitap, Vikingler hakkındaki ön kabulleri incelemekle kalmamakta, arka planda kalmış yaşantılarını analiz ederek gün yüzüne çıkarmayı da hedeflemektedir. Kocaman gemileriyle denizden gelen bir tehdit olarak Orta Çağ Avrupası’nı korkulardan korkulara sürükleyen Vikingler; “barbar ve canavar” imajlı ön yargıların aksine âşık olabilen, ticaret ve seyyahlık yapabilen, sevdiklerine şiirler yazıp inançları hakkında ritüeller gerçekleştirebilen bir toplumdur. Dahası yüzyıllar önce rünlere kazınmış özgün anlatıları günümüzde hâlen çizgi romanlar, yüksek bütçeli film ve diziler ile karşılık bulmaya devam etmektedir. Ticaretten hukuka, şiirden antropolojik ritüellere uzanan farklı bağlamlarda Viking sırlarının ele alındığı bu kitap ile Viking yaşamına ait bambaşka bir anlayışa yelken açılmaktadır.
