If the World Is a Family, What Kind of Family Is It
This Foreword is concerned with the trope that figures the world as a family. What ideas about the family inform, and are informed by, it? What effects does it have on the way global issues, relations and contexts are understood? In the course of exploring those questions, consideration is given, in turn, to evocations of the human family, references to the family of nations and discussions of the need to take action for the sake of our children.…

Meals in Early Judaism
This is the first book about the meals of Early Judaism. As such it breaks important new ground in establishing the basis for understanding the centrality of meals in this pivotal period of Judaism an
Four human rights myths
In early August 2011 riots broke out in England. They started with the torching of two police cars in a suburb of London, and before long there was arson and looting in cities across the country. How could this happen? Why did it happen? There was much national soul-searching. In his initial response, British Prime Minister David Cameron denounced the riots as sheer deviance. ‘This is criminality, pure and simple’, he declared. But it soon became…
Intermarriage, Jewish
Even as expectations for Jewish marriage change significantly from biblical times to rabbinic times, so too ancient texts present a remarkably inconsistent view of which unions with which outsiders ought to be rejected and why.
Marriage, Jewish
Marriage constitutes the recognized union of two persons.
What has Become of the Emerging Right to Democratic Governance
The Emerging Right to Democratic Governance'. The article inaugurated an important debate on the relationship between international law and democracy. Reviewing that debate, I examine four different ways of thinking about the contemporary significance of the emerging right to democratic governance. While not claiming that any is wrong, I consider some respects in which each is limited. I also discuss Haiti, as a country which inspired the thesis …
Human Rights and Root Causes
The human rights movement has traditionally focused on documenting abuses, rather than attempting to explain them. In recent years, however, the question of the ‘root causes’ of violations has emerged as a key issue in human rights work. The present article examines this new (or newly insistent) discourse of root causes. While valuable, it is shown to have significant limitations. It foreshortens the investigation of causes; it treats effects as …
International Law on the Left
Follow That Crown
Although the stream of tradition concerning Rabbi Akiba's wife and her support for her husband does not on the surface resemble serious benefaction, this article reexamines these narratives in light of hints that connect her to other women patrons of the ancient world. As these narratives link Akiba's wife with a special "city of gold" or "Jerusalem of gold" crown, elsewhere walled crowns appear in association with other cities and other powerful…
International Judicial Activism and the Commodity-Form Theory of International Law
In his book Between Equal Rights: A Marxist Theory of International Law, China Miéville revisits the work of 1920s Russian jurist E. B. Pashukanis to develop a 'commodity-form' theory of international law. The theory serves as a valuable and instructive counterpoint to influential currents in international legal scholarship. However, this essay argues that Miéville is unnecessarily negative about the prospects for international law to contribute …
Torture and the Penal Colony
Kafka's short story In the Penal Colony depicts the visit of a European traveller to a cruel penal colony. The author uses the story to explore current issues concerning torture. Her particular focus is on the interrelation between torture and empire, and on the limits of humanitarian reform. Kafka is instructive in puncturing the pretensions of humanitarianism, and in pointing up the inescapable uncertainties, absurdities, and complicities assoc…
Search Strategies for Identifying Qualitative Studies in Cinahl
Nurses, allied health professionals, clinicians, and researchers increasingly use online access to evidence in the course of patient care or when conducting reviews on a particular topic. Qualitative research has an important role in evidence-based health care. Online searching for qualitative studies can be difficult, however, resulting in the need to develop search filters. The objective of this study was to develop optimal search strategies to…
State-Centrism, International Law, and the Anxieties of Influence
State-centrism is a key concept in discussions of sovereignty, justice, and the global political order and of changes within that order. Thus we routinely hear: ‘that analysis is far too state-centric!’ Or: ‘earlier approaches were marred by excessive state-centrism, and need to be reconsidered in the light of contemporary circumstances’. Or even: ‘I'm state-centrist and proud of it’. This article brings into focus some of the themes associated w…
We Are Teachers of International Law’
In the general debate prior to the onset of war in Iraq, we made public our view, in a letter to the Guardian newspaper, that the war could be justified neither by reference to earlier UN Security Council resolutions nor by way of the doctrine of self-defence. In this article we reflect on some of the anxieties we experienced both before and after that ‘intervention’ in terms of the vision of international law we might unwillingly promote, and in…
Theme III
The network of international economic, political, and social organizations established at the initiative of the first world constitute a nascent global state whose function is to realize the interests of the powerful states to the disadvantage of third world states and peoples. The evolving global state formation may therefore be described as having a neo-imperial character

A cluster of injuries at a water slide in Washington State
Interviews were conducted with 46 people injured on a newly opened water slide in Washington State during the summer of 1983, and 46 age-matched controls. The injuries included nine concussions and eight spinal fractures. The odds ratio associated with being 10 per cent over ideal body weight, adjusted for age and sex, was 1.6 (95% C.I. 1.1-2.5). Three of eight people with spinal fractures were riding with another person between their legs, compa…
