Todd Henderson, University of Chicago, US Although Native Americans have been subjugated by every American government since The Founding, they have persevered and, in some cases, thrived. What explains the existence of separate, semi-sovereign nations within the larger American nation? In large part it has been victories won at the Supreme Court that have preserved the opportunity for Native Americans to ‘make their own laws and be ruled by them.’ The Supreme Court could have gone further, creating truly sovereign nations with whom the United States could have negotiated on an equal basis. The Supreme Court could also have done away with tribes and tribalism with the stroke of a pen. Instead, the Court set a compromise course, declaring tribes not fully sovereign but also something far more than a mere social club.

The Handbook takes a broad view on the concept and thereby succeeds in bringing forward a holistic approach to secession, which approach is to be privileged in modern-day international scholarship.’ – Ineta Ziemele, Judge, CJEU, former Judge of the ECtHR and Latvian Constitutional Court Dec 2022 c 432 pp Hardback 978 1 78897 174 4 c £190.00 / c $275.00 eBook • Elgaronline Research Handbooks in International Law series Race, Gender and Contemporary International Labor Migration Regimes 21st-Century Coolies? Edited by Leticia Saucedo, University of California Davis School of Law and Robyn Magalit Rodriguez, University of California, Davis, US Migrant workers around the world are subject to exploitative labor practices that give employers extraordinary bargaining power. This book brings together researchers, practitioners and advocates who explore the many ways that contracted migrant workers are rendered vulnerable in the workplace. In this book, the term ‘21st-century coolie’ is deployed as a heuristic that foregrounds the deeply unequal structures shaping the transnational flows of short-term, migrant workers. The term ‘coolie’ harkens back to the labor arrangements of earlier centuries that involved conscripted labor, indentured servitude and contract labor across national borders. Like those of past centuries, today’s ‘coolies’ are subject to legal constraints inside and outside the employment relationship that force them into subjugated positions within the workplace.

Tams, University of Glasgow, UK, Stephan W. Schill, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Rainer Hofmann, University of Frankfurt, Germany ‘Few would deny today that general international law is pivotal in the everyday practice of investor-state dispute settlement. Matters of treaty interpretation, attribution of conduct or issues pertaining to remedies – among many others – have become the bread and butter of international investment law. This excellent volume, however, changes perspective. It assesses the actual and potential impact of international investment law practice on general international law: How does it shape, how do its investment law’s actors influence general international law? Such approach is fascinating not least because no other field of international law contributes as much to adjudicatory practice in terms of numbers of awards and decisions. The contributions in Radiating Effects intriguingly explore an understudied but rich topic, looking specifically at the law of treaties, international responsibility and dispute resolution. This book is a must-read not only for those interested in investment law and arbitration but for anybody who practices, studies or teaches international law.’ – Andreas Kulick, University of Tübingen, Germany Dec 2022 c 432 pp Hardback 978 1 80088 405 2 c £130.00 / c $185.00 eBook • Elgaronline Frankfurt Investment and Economic Law series Art Law and the Business of Art Martin Wilson, Phillips Auctioneers, previously Christie’s Auctioneers In this fully revised and updated second edition of Art Law and the Business of Art, Martin Wilson, an art lawyer with more than 20 years’ experience in the field, provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the application of UK law to transactions and disputes in the art world.
