Fossil Capital in the Caribbean
Secrecy jurisdictions play a crucial role in the legal framework perpetuating climate change. This paper demonstrates how these jurisdictions sustain the dynamics of climate change by enabling capital accumulation rooted in environmental degradation. A regulatory approach to law and climate change must address the global nature of the legal structure that upholds exploitative and ecocidal social relationships. This paper argues that secrecy juris…
Law's quick fix? Ecocide, social transformation and the pitfalls of criminalisation
Calls to criminalise ‘ecocide’ are, it seems, everywhere. What unites these calls is both a sense of urgency and a need for international action. The need for a quick and plausible fix makes international law assume a very specific allure to those who seek to combat. We argue that the proposed crime of ecocide is unable to tackle the social reality of ecocide and may indeed compromise further our ability to do so. At the same time, it argues that…
Autonomy over Life
West Papua—the part of the island of Papua currently ruled by Indonesia—is a site of aggressive industrial development, with major industries in gas extraction, metallurgical mining, and agricultural plantation. It is also home to the third largest rainforest area in the world after the Amazon and Congo basins. This article analyzes the struggle by the Papuan people to resist the rapidly accelerating form of industrial development that is being i…
Book Symposium Dedicated to The Suspect
completing a Master's degree in International Relations in 2008, aimed to pursue doctoral study on political Islam and al-Qaeda.Reported to counterterrorism police in May of that year by non-academic staff at the University of Nottingham for possessing a copy of the Al-Qaeda Training Manual downloaded lawfully for this study, he ended up researching another form of terrorism: that of the UK security state directed against British Muslims in its c…

The Escalating Crisis of Health and Safety Law Enforcement in Great Britain
This paper explores occupational safety and health regulation in Great Britain following the UK's exit from the European Union. In particular, the paper focuses on the credibility of regulatory enforcement. The prospects raised by the UK's exit from the European Union have long been part of a free-market fantasy-even obsession-of right-wing politicians and their ideologues. As the UK's relationship with the EU is recalibrated, this will present r…
Human rights for profit
This article presents an analysis of the way that profit-making corporations have sought human rights protections in the following two regional human rights courts: the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. It seeks to deepen our understanding of a controversial principle in that corporations can claim protections as 'legal persons'. After exploring precisely how and why each of those regional systems have a…
Spain Must be Defended
This paper asks how we can explain the remarkable punitive turn against the political opponents of a liberal democratic state in twenty-first-century Europe. It uses Michel Foucault's analysis as a point of departure for understanding how the form of state power witnessed in Catalonia is entirely consistent with a Westphalian fixation with the indissoluble unity of statehood. Moreover, we identify a classic dual strategy of criminalization and de…
Postfascism in Spain
The thousands of Spanish National Police and Guardia Civil sent to Barcelona in order to prevent the referendum legislated by the Catalan Parliament on 6 and 7 September 2017 raised major questions about the fragility of Spanish democracy. The subsequent display of police violence on 1 October and the imprisonment and criminalisation of political opponents for the archaic offences of 'rebellion' and 'sedition' looked even less 'democratic'. Indee…
Sidelining corporate human rights violations
This article critically assesses the effectiveness of the OECD mechanism for regulating human rights violations by private corporations. It presents a recategorization of the outcomes of OECD cases as a basis for analyzing—both quantitatively and qualitatively—precisely how such cases are resolved in practice. In doing so, the article critically evaluates two key claims made by proponents of the process: first, that the OECD mechanism is capable …
Regimes of Permission and State-Corporate Crime
The state-corporate crime literature has given momentum to a fundamentally important task: that of “bringing the state back in” to the study of the social harms caused by corporations. Yet as this article argues, we need to widen the theoretical scope of the concept of “state-corporate crime” if we are to grasp the full significance of state-corporate symbiosis in the production of corporate crime. The article argues for a historically and system…
The Myths and Realities of Deterrence in Workplace Safety Regulation
Given the proliferation of the use of deterrence in neo-liberal crime control policies, it is remarkable that this concept remains absent from the study and practice of corporate regulation. The paper explores this absence in the regulation literature, highlighting a series of widely accepted myths about deterrence in this literature, myths that have also been reproduced in British policy debates. Having discussed the enduring, if hidden, adheren…
Counter-insurgency goes to university
This article presents a case study of the recent student strike at the University of Puerto Rico (held between 2010 and 2011) and the militarisation of the campus that followed. The strike has been a significant site of resistance to the imposition of neo-liberal structural adjustment in Puerto Rico (PR). The response to the strike by the Government of Puerto Rico and the university administration has been characterised by a range of highly repre…
A Deadly Consensus
This paper documents the vulnerability of the UK workplace safety regime to ' regulatory degradation ' . Following a brief overview of this regime, the paper examines the dominant arguments within academic literature on appropriate and feasible regulatory enforcement, arguing that the approaches to regulation thereby advocated have been easily degraded as a result of their compatibility with neoliberal economic strategy. A subsequent analysis of …
Capital, Crime Control and Statecraft in the Entrepreneurial City
Recent debates have drawn attention to the centrality of crime and disorder discourses within the rationale of contemporary urban entrepreneurial rule and how these have targeted ideological and political resources onto policing 'quality of life' infractions on the streets. In extending these insights, the paper focuses upon the regeneration of urban order in the UK and how this is being increasingly practised through a form of corporatised state…
Contracting Out War
It was Robert Nozick who, distinguishing the classical liberal ‘night-watchman State’ which protected citizens against violence and enforced contracts on their behalf, conjured instead the ‘ultra-minimal State’ 1 in which the task of the State is confined to the monopolization of violence rather than the actual provision of security (unless paid for by citizens by choice). On the face of it, it seems that Western governments are increasingly keen…
All That Glitters Isn't Gold
Lethal Regulation
Markets for private military security are enjoying a period of sustained growth, during which there has been a repackaging of ‘mercenary outfits’ and ‘private armies’ as legitimate, fully incorporated private military companies (PMCs). This paper presents a critique of the dominant view of the new mercenaries and examines the regulation of private military security currently being proposed by the United Kingdom government, arguing that its purpos…
At the margins of provision
English Despite a series of initiatives launched by New Labour aimed at tackling the problem of violence against women, it is likely that the impact of these initiatives will be minimal. This article argues that, on the one hand, this is a result of the failure of ‘community safety’ as a political discourse to present a challenge to traditional law and order agendas. On the other hand, it is a result of the state’s continuing reluctance to move b…
