Abstract:

In this book, based on her 2017 Berkeley Tanner Lectures, the author offers an original, deontological account of democracy, law, and their interrelation. Her central thesis is that democracy and democratic law have intrinsically valuable, interconnected communicative functions. Democracy and democratic law together allow us to fulfill our fundamental duties to convey to each another messages of equal respect by fashioning the sorts of public joint commitments to act that a sincere message of equal respect requires. Law and democracy are essential to each other: the aspirations of democracy ca

Abstract:

This chapter examines the law on contract formation in Hong Kong which is closely modelled on the English common law but adapts the English solutions to the local context if and when required. The test for ascertaining the parties’ meeting of the minds is objective, the agreement (an offer with a matching acceptance) must be certain, complete, and made with the intention to create legal relations—the latter being presumed to be present in a commercial context and absent in a familial or social context. Offers are freely revocable although the reliance of the offeree is protected in exceptional

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the law on contract formation in Chinese law which largely follows the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. An objective approach is adopted in determining the parties’ intentions but exceptions are allowed where parties have not accurately expressed their true agreement, the contract is a sham, or one party’s intentional false expression is known to the other. For a contract to be binding, its ‘essential elements’ must be agreed (names of the parties, subject matter, and quantit

Abstract:

This commentary focuses on Article 5.1.8 of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) concerning a contract for an indefinite period. Art 5.1.8 stipulates that a contract for an indefinite period maybe ended by either party by giving notice a reasonable time in advance. Art 5.1.8 deviates from the principle of pacta sunt servanda and is in contrast with the idea of favor contractus. As far as its requirements are concerned, it permits the unilateral cancellation of contracts concluded for an indefinite period without any further justification. This commentary discuss

Abstract:

This chapter first illustrates a classic letter of intent situation through the case of Texaco Inc v Pennzoil, involving the selling price of Getty oil stock. One party did not want to enter into a binding legal relationship but did not want to say so in clear terms. The case emphasizes in clear terms the dangers posed by the resultant ambiguities. The chapter then considers some possible solutions. It discusses possible ways of delaying legal effect of letters of intent; letters of intent and partially completed negotiations; agreements to negotiate in good faith; refusal to negotiate; and is

Abstract:

Nationalism: Past as Prologue began as a single volume being compiled by Ad Akande, a scholar from South Africa, who proposed it to me as co-author about two years ago. The original idea was to examine how the damaging roots of nationalism have been corroding political systems around the world, and creating dangerous obstacles for necessary international cooperation. Since I (Bruce E. Johansen) has written profusely about climate change (global warming, a.k.a. infrared forcing), I suggested a concerted effort in that direction. This is a worldwide existential threat that affects every living t
