Book Description
No attorney has played a greater role in the rise of the casino industry and how it is regulated than has Robert D. Faiss. In this oral memoir, Faiss gives an eloquent, eyewitness account of crucial events and moments in the history of gaming regulation and gaming law in Nevada. Two years after Democrat Grant Sawyer took office as governor in 1959, Bob Faiss became assistant executive secretary of the Nevada Gaming Commission, where he created the first state publication on the history, economics, and control of the gaming industry. In 1963, Sawyer brought Faiss to the governors office as executive assistant, with duties that included acting both as press secretary and chief speechwriteran appointment that began a relationship that shaped Faisss life. In a quest for respectability and economic development, Sawyer changed how the gaming industry was regulated. Faiss played a role in these changes, including the creation of the Nevada Gaming Commission and the List of Excluded Persons. He spent eight years working for the Nevada state government, and he later worked at the federal level, including service as White House staff assistant during President Johnsons last year in office. When Faiss completed his law degree from American University in Washington, D.C., he returned to Las Vegas as an attorney for Nevadas largest law firm, Lionel Sawyer & Collins. In his three decades as an administrative attorney, Bob Faiss represents gaming clients and deals with regulatory boardsmostly related to gaming, but also in other realms of business. More than anyone else in his profession, Faiss has made gaming law important and respected. He is responsible for many important parts of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the regulations that the Nevada Gaming Commission and the Nevada Gaming Control Board use. He also was a key attorney in the growth of several major Nevada gaming corporations. For three decades, Faiss has represented the gaming industry at the state legislature. From 1998 to 2003, he served on the U.S. Treasury Departments Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Board as the representative of the U.S. casino industry, and he was a charter trustee and president of the International Association of Gaming Attorneys. The state of Nevada and its most important industry are far better for Bob Faisss hard work and loyalty.

Book Description
"A rich and compelling comparative study of a rapidly growing and little-studied global industry. Sallaz offers an extremely clever and provocative account that is sure to stimulate a lot of debate among scholars."—Ruth Milkman, University of California, Los Angeles and author of L.A. Story: Immigrant Workers and the Future of the U.S. Labor Movement "A tremendous tour de force. It is astonishing in its scope, ranging effortlessly from the minutiae of shop floor life to the heights of comparative national political and economic history, from breezily personal (and often amusing) to a brilliant reconstruction of social theory."—Steven Henry Lopez, Ohio State University and author of Reorganizing the Rust Belt: An Inside Study of the American Labor Movement

Book Description
In China, the central government has the political will to control organized crime, which is seen as a national security threat. The crux of the problem is how to control local governments that have demonstrated lax enforcement without sufficient regulation from the provincial governments. The development of prostitution, underground gambling and narcotics production has become so serious that the central government has to rely on anti-crime campaigns to combat these "three evils". This book explores the specific role of government institutions and agencies, notably the police, in controlling organised and cross-border crime in Greater China. Drawing heavily on original empirical data, it compares the both the states of the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan, as well as city-states Hong Kong and Macao. This region has become increasingly economically integrated, and human interactions have been enhanced through improved trade relations, tourism, and increased individual freedom. The book argues that the regime capacity of crime control across Greater China has been expanded through regional and international police cooperation as well as anti-crime campaigns. It suggests that a strong central state in China is necessary to rein in the local states and to prevent the risk of deteriorating into a political-criminal nexus. Focusing on regime capacity in crime control, regime autonomy from crime groups, and regime legitimacy in the fight against organized crime, this thought-provoking book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese politics and criminology more broadly.

Book Description
Media interest in the fates of people at sea has heightened across the last decade. The attacks and the hostage taking of victims by Somali pirates, and the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers in the Mediterranean, ask pressing questions, as does the sinking of the Costa Concordia off the Italian island of Giglio which, one hundred years after the Titanic capsized, reminded the world that, despite modern navigation systems and technology, shipping is still fallible. Do pirates have human rights? Can migrants at sea be turned back to the State from which they have sailed? How can the crews of vessels be protected against inhuman and degrading working and living conditions? And are States liable under international human rights treaties for arresting drug traffickers on the high seas? The first text to comprehensively compare the legal rights of different people at sea, Irini Papanicolopulu's timely text argues that there is an overarching duty of the state to protect people at sea and adopt all necessary acts with a view towards ensuring enjoyment of their rights. Rather than being in doubt, she reveals that the emerging law in this area is watertight.
