{"product_id":"9789811090844","title":"Legal Certainty in a Contemporary Context : Private and Criminal Law Perspectives","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis\n\u003cbr\u003ebook addresses issues concerning the shifting contemporary meaning of legal\n\u003cbr\u003ecertainty. The book focuses on exploring the emerging tensions that exist\n\u003cbr\u003ebetween the demand for legal certainty and the challenges of regulating\n\u003cbr\u003ecomplex, late modern societies. The book is divided into two parts: the first\n\u003cbr\u003epart focusing on debates around legal certainty at the national level, with a\n\u003cbr\u003eprimary emphasis on criminal law; and the second part focusing on debates at\n\u003cbr\u003ethe transnational level, with a primary emphasis on the regulation of\n\u003cbr\u003etransnational commercial transactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn\n\u003cbr\u003ethe context of legal modernity, the principle of legal certainty—the idea that\n\u003cbr\u003ethe law must be sufficiently clear to provide those subject to legal norms with\n\u003cbr\u003ethe means to regulate their own conduct and to protect against the arbitrary\\nuse of public power—has operated as a foundational rule of law value. Even\n\u003cbr\u003ethough it has not always been fully realized, legal certainty has functioned as\n\u003cbr\u003ea core value and aspiration that has structured normative debates throughout\n\u003cbr\u003epolitical modernity, both at a national and international level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn\n\u003cbr\u003erecent decades, however, legal certainty has come under increasing pressure\n\u003cbr\u003efrom a number of competing demands that are made of contemporary law, in\n\u003cbr\u003eparticular the demand that the law be more flexible and responsive to a social\n\u003cbr\u003eenvironment characterized by rapid social and technological change. The\n\u003cbr\u003eexpectation that the law operates in new transnational contexts and regulates\n\u003cbr\u003eevery widening sphere of social life has created a new degree of uncertainty,\n\u003cbr\u003eand this change raises difficult questions regarding both the possibility and\n\u003cbr\u003edesirability of legal certainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book compiles,  in one edited volume, research from a range of\n\u003cbr\u003esubstantive areas of civil and criminal law that shares a common interest in\\nunderstanding the multi-layered challenges of defining legal certainty in a\n\u003cbr\u003elate modern society. The book will be of interest both to lawyers interested in\\nunderstanding the transformation of core rule of law values in the context of\n\u003cbr\u003econtemporary social change and to political scientists and social theorists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag, Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48811320508651,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":100.69,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9789811090844","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
