Contributors Contributors EDITORS Christopher May holds the Chair of Political Economy at Lancaster University and has published widely on the interactions between the law and political economy (ranging from intellectual property rights to the rule of law and the corporate form). Having spent nine years in faculty management, he is now back in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion enjoying life as a normal professor. Adam Winchester was a Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion, Lancaster University. During the final stages of preparing this volume for publication Adam was taken ill and died suddenly. I had known Adam for around 20 years, from when I first taught him as a mature undergraduate to his studying with me to complete a doctorate while also working as co-editor on this volume. Both in a physical and an intellectual sense Adam was really bigger than life and his passing leaves a gap that it will be difficult to fill. Is it no exaggeration to say that without his tenacity and dedication to the project, this volume would not be in your hands today. Adam’s life had taken a new turn with his move into the academy and while it is a tragedy that he will not now follow his chosen path, nevertheless this Handbook represents a lasting testament to an academic career cut short all too early. CONTRIBUTORS J.W.F. Allison has been appointed to the Cambridge Law Faculty since 1995. He previously held lectureships at the Universities of London, Cape Town and Chicago. His main publica- tions are two monographs The English Historical Constitution and A Continental Distinction in the Common Law and the two-volume Oxford Edition of Dicey which he edited and which includes Dicey’s largely unpublished comparative constitutional lectures. Dan Banik is Professor of Political Science and Research Director at the University of Oslo’s Centre for Development and Environment. His research interests include poverty, inequality, governance, legal empowerment, social protection, development aid, famine, and food security. Professor Banik’s recent books include The Democratic Dividend: Political Transition, Poverty and Inclusive Development in Malawi (2016) and The Legal Empowerment Agenda: Poverty, Labour and the Informal Economy in Africa (2011). Adriaan Bedner’s research at Leiden Law School, The Netherlands focuses on Indonesian law and society. He has written on a wide variety of subjects in this field, including access to justice, dispute resolution and the judiciary. He has also done work of a more general theoretical and comparative nature, in particular on rule of law and access to justice.

The research and training programme will deliver doctoral training of Europe’s next generation of researchers, teachers and practitioners in understanding the roots and impacts of hate, as well as mitigation strategies, which will support the development of a sustainable democratic culture across the EU. The participation of 10 universities and 1 NGO as the network Beneficiaries and 14 Partner organisations (2 Ministries, 2 companies and 10 NGO’s) all deeply involved in this area will ensure that the ESRs acquire a broad and deep multi-disciplinary and inter-sectoral training and experience that will make them highly marketable and sought after graduates. The overall mission of the NETHATE programme is to investigate the impact of hate in our societies by furthering our understanding about the (a) the nature of hate, (b) the dynamics of its spread in both offline and online fora, (c) the impact on victims, and (d) mitigation and reconciliation strategies.
