Book Description
This collection is about how law makes meaning and how meaning makes law. Through clear methodology and substantial findings, chapters expose the deficits of ‘literal’ meaning and the difficulties in 'ordinary' meaning, in international legal contexts and in more immediate social ones, as well as in courtrooms. Further, chapters in this volume see the challenges to national and international commitments to all speakers sharing a common meaning.

The Oxford Handbook of Freedom of Speech
Author: Adrienne Stone
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192562622
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 704
Book Description
Freedom of speech is central to the liberal democratic tradition. It touches on every aspect of our social and political system and receives explicit and implicit protection in every modern democratic constitution. It is frequently referred to in public discourse and has inspired a wealth of legal and philosophical literature. The liberty to speak freely is often questioned; what is the relationship between this freedom and other rights and values, how far does this freedom extend, and how is it applied to contemporary challenges? The Oxford Handbook on Freedom of Speech seeks to answer these and other pressing questions. It provides a critical analysis of the foundations, rationales, and ideas that underpin freedom of speech as a political idea, and as a principle of positive constitutional law. In doing so, it examines freedom of speech in a variety of national and supra-national settings from an international perspective. Compiled by a team of renowned experts in the field, this handbook features original essays by leading scholars and theorists exploring the history, legal framework and controversies surrounding this tennet of the democratic constitution.

Diversity of Methodological Approaches in Social Sciences
Author: Inna Lyubareva
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786309017
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
As with many rapidly evolving areas, research on pluralism in media and information makes use of appropriate interdisciplinary approaches that consider diverse and interdependent factors. These considerations include new economic constraints, journalistic production, networked technologies, online social interactions, new forms of discourse, consumer preferences and practices, and the specificities of information markets. This book presents and assesses several methodological approaches that have proven to be valuable in the study of transformations in media and information. Some are well-known in social sciences (e.g. qualitative analysis by interviews), whereas others come from different disciplines and remain rare and original (e.g. agent-based modeling). By focusing on various dimensions of the media and information pluralism, this book pulls together methods based on network analysis, agent-based modeling and sociosemiotics, as well as qualitative and legal approaches. Each of the five chapters introduces a specific method and its relevance for the analysis of a particular research question.

Law, Religion, Constitution
Author: W. Cole Durham
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317107373
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
What is the place assigned to religion in the constitutions of contemporary States? What role is religion expected to perform in the fields that are the object of constitutional regulation? Is separation of religion and politics a necessary precondition for democracy and the rule of law? These questions are addressed in this book through an analysis of the constitutional texts that are in force in different parts of the world. Constitutions are at the centre of almost all contemporary legal systems and provide the principles and values that inspire the action of the national law-makers. After a discussion of some topics that are central to the constitutional regulation of religion, the book considers a number of national systems covering countries with a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. The final section of the book is devoted to the discussion of the constitutional regulation of some particularly controversial issues, such as religious education, the relation between freedom of speech and freedom of religion, abortion, and freedom of conscience.

Guide to the Luxembourg Corporate Tax Return
Author: Maude Bologne
Publisher: Éditions Larcier
ISBN: 2879984416
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
Over the past several years, there has been a steady increase in the number of resident taxpayers subject to the various taxes on income and net worth in Luxembourg. However, until now, no complete and up-to-date documentation has been available to guide taxpayers in the preparation of their tax returns. This book, which is both detailed and highly readable, is a practical response to that information gap. This first English edition is based on tax legislation which is effective in Luxembourg as at 31 December 2018 and provides guidance on how to complete the online corporate income tax, municipal business tax and net worth tax return for resident corporations and how to submit the mandatory electronic declaration. This book undertakes a page-by-page analysis of the tax return form for commercial companies and the annexes to that form and draws attention to the most important laws, regulations and administrative circulars currently in force. The book also incorporates many practical examples. These features make this book an ideal reference guide for resident corporations in Luxembourg.
