In this book, Rhodes provides a nonevaluative account of coercion. He begins with a thorough discussion of the charge that coercion is an essentially contested concept. He argues that effective communication of regulations pertaining to human conduct requires a basic level of clarity as to the kind of conduct being regulated. Accordingly, he argues that before we prescribe or proscribe conduct, we should describe it. In short, he maintains that wherever possible description should precede prescription and proscription. Rhodes begins his descriptive project by providing a fundamental account of human motivation. Upon this foundation he supports his distinctions between threats, offers, throffers, and neutral proposals. He argues that all coercion claims can be understood in light of these components. He applies this analysis to three prominent accounts of coercion as advanced by F.A. Hayek, Harry Frankfurt, and Robert Nozick. After comparing and contrasting these views, Rhodes provides his own account. Rhodes's account is based upon the identification of what he refers to as perceived-threat-avoidance-behavior as a necessary condition for coercion. As a descriptive, or nonevaluative, account, Rhodes is able to identify coercion independent from normative judgments. He argues that it is not the wrongfulness of some conduct that makes it coercion, instead, it is the coerciveness of some conduct that makes it wrong. Unique to Rhodes's account, coercion is not necessarily wrong. As a descriptive account, his view permits an independent analysis of the moral status of an act of coercion. The book concludes with a discussion of the normatively significant variables of a coercion claim.

This text proposes and defends a reconfiguration of the terms in which legal philosophers can disagree about the coercive character of governance by law. Whether the metric approach offers a better explanation of existing problems or fabricates a new problem that has the semblance of an existing problem remains to be seen.

Wurde im NS-Staat die kapitalistische Ausbeutung auf die Spitze getrieben? Beruhte die Bändigung der Arbeiterklasse auf deren eigener Hinwendung zum Nationalsozialismus, auf der Unterdrückung durch Partei, Staat und Unternehmerschaft - oder auf der Bestechung durch sozialpolitische Zugeständnisse der Machthaber? Zu prüfen war ebenso die These, dass sich die Arbeitsverfassung unter der NS-Herrschaft im großen und ganzen ungestört und kontinuierlich weiterentwickelte, so dass die spezifischen Erscheinungen im "Dritten Reich" nur als Übergriffe der Nationalsozialisten auf ein ansonsten intaktes Arbeitsrechtsystem zu interpretieren seien. Dem Arbeitsrecht im NS-Staat kommt erhebliche politische Bedeutung zu, und so ist hier die vorliegende Darstellung ein Desiderat der Forschung. Der Autor behandelt nicht nur den gesamten Zeitraum von 1933 bis 1945, sondern greift auch auf die Vorgeschichte in der Weimarer Republik zurück. In seine vom Schwerpunkt her rechtshistorische Arbeit sind die Ergebnisse der jüngeren sozial-wirtschafts- und allgemeinhistorischen Forschung einbezogen. Die Bestandsaufnahme der arbeitsrechtlichen Gesetzgebung dient als Grundlage für die Untersuchung der Rechtsdurchsetzung durch Verwaltung und Gerichte. Die Studie wendet sich also nicht nur an Rechtshistoriker und historisch interessierte Juristen, sondern ebenso an alle, die sich mit den historischen Grundlagen der Sozialpolitik beschäftigen.

In recent years we have witnessed major developments in philosophical inquiry concerning the nature of law and, with the continuing development of international and transnational legal institutions, in the phenomenon of law itself. This volume gathers leading writers in the field to take stock of current debates on the nature of law and the aims and methods of legal philosophy.The volume covers four broad themes. The essays within the first theme address and develop the traditional debates between legal positivism, natural law theory, and Dworkinian interpretivism. Papers within the second the

The number of people incarcerated in the U.S. now exceeds 2.3 million, due in part to the increasing criminalization of drug use: over 25% of people incarcerated in jails and prisons are there for drug offenses. Judging Addicts examines this increased criminalization of drugs and the medicalization of addiction in the U.S. by focusing on drug courts, where defendants are sent to drug treatment instead of prison. Rebecca Tiger explores how advocates of these courts make their case for what they call “enlightened coercion,” detailing how they use medical theories of addiction to justify increased criminal justice oversight of defendants who, through this process, are defined as both “sick” and “bad. ”Tiger shows how these courts fuse punitive and therapeutic approaches to drug use in the name of a “progressive” and “enlightened” approach to addiction. She critiques the medicalization of drug users, showing how the disease designation can complement, rather than contradict, punitive approaches, demonstrating that these courts are neither unprecedented nor unique, and that they contain great potential to expand punitive control over drug users. Tiger argues that the medicalization of addiction has done little to stem the punishment of drug users because of a key conceptual overlap in the medical and punitive approaches—that habitual drug use is a problem that needs to be fixed through sobriety. Judging Addicts presses policymakers to implement humane responses to persistent substance use that remove its control entirely from the criminal justice system and ultimately explores the nature of crime and punishment in the U.S. today.
