In the European Union, member states have cre- ated a new legal order that is not quite a state, but more than just a new legal order in international law. It is a new legal order, moreover, whose law, in case of conflict with national law, enjoys supremacy. .. Such limitations on sovereignty are simply an inconceivable prospect to most Americans. The reasons that such limitations on US sovereignty are in- conceivable to most Americans are many and varied.

  • Beyond Reparations: an American Indian Theory of Justice
    OHIO STATE LAW JOURNAL VOLUME 66, NUMBER 1, 2005 Beyond Reparations: An American Indian Theory of Justice WILLIAM BRADFORD* It is perhaps impossible to overstate the magnitude of the human injustice perpetrated againstAmerican Indianpeople: indeed,the severity and duration of the harms endured by the original inhabitants of the US. may well rival those suffered by any other group past or present, domestic or international. While financialreparations for certainpast transgressionsmay be appropriateto some groups and situations, the historical and ongoing injustices committed against Indians living within the US. cannot be adequately understood in material terms. Although in recent decades various models of justice have been proposed in respect of a series of gross human injustices, incomplete and even erroneous understandingsof the nature of Indian claims and an overly narrow conception of the potential parameters of remedial justice render these approachesineffectual. This Article presents a alternative theory of justice, termed "Justice as Indigenism" (JAI). As applied JAI commits its practitioners to a sequential process consisting of seven distinct stages: acknowledgment, apology, peacemaking, commemoration, compensation, land restoration, legal reformation, and reconciliation. JAI advances the frontiers of thinking about justice on behalf of Indians in that its normative mission is not the award of materialcompensation or the attribution of blame but ratherthe ultimate healing of the American and Indian nations and the joint authorship

  • The Islamophobia Industry
    Property of Pluto Press: Do Not Reproduce The Islamophobia Industry “This concise, accessible and illuminating book meets one of the most urgent needs of our time. Lean has provided a compelling counter-narrative that reveals the vested interests and highly organized networks of those who preach the virulent Islamophobia that is not only endangering world peace but is also corroding the tolerance and egalitarian ethos that should characterize Western society. This book should be required reading.” — Karen Armstrong “Islamophobia is not only about ignorance and fear. Some people purposefully nurture it and use it as a political strategy. Nathan Lean’s The Islamophobia Industry shows what is happening behind the scenes. It is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the rationale and objectives behind those who foster this new racism against Muslims.” — Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University and author of The Quest for Meaning “The climate of fear and cultural mistrust is one of the grim aspects of present-day society—but it doesn’t happen by accident. As this readable and well-researched book demonstrates, hatred sells; it can provide both money and power to those who profit from it. This book exposes the dirty secrets of those who try to manipulate public opinion against Muslims. It should be read by policymakers, concerned citizens, and everyone who values truth and intercultural understanding.” — Mark Juergensmeyer, Professor of Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Terror in the Mind of God: The Global Rise of Religious Violence. “Nathan Lean has written a book of immense importance for our times.

  • The Contradictions of Regionalism in North America
    The contradictions of regionalism in North America ANN CAP LING AND KIM RICHARD NOS SAL* Abstract. Students of regionalism almost reflexively include North America in their lists of regions in contemporary global politics. Inevitably students of regionalism point to the integrative agreements between the countries of North America: the two free trade agreements that transformed the continental economy beginning in the late 1980s- the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement that came into force on 1 January 1989, and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, that came into force on 1 January 1994- and th~ Secutity and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), launched in March 2005. These agreements, it is implied, are just like the integrative agreements that forge the bonds of regionalism elsewhere in the world. We argue that this is a profound misreading, not only of the two free trade agreements of the late 1980s and early 1990s and the SPP mechanism of 2005, but also of the political and economic implications of those agreements. While these integrative agreements have created considerable regionalisation in North America, there has been little of the regionalism evident in other parts of the world. We examine the contradictions of North America integration in order to explain why North Americans have been so open to regionalisation but so resistant to regionalism. Introduction Announcing his candidacy for the presidency in November 1979, Ronald Reagan articulated a vision for what he termed a 'North American Accord' between Canada, the United States and Mexico, promising that he would 'work toward the goal of using the assets of this continent ..

  • "The Paranoid Style": an Introduction to Conspiracy Theories
    1 "The Paranoid Style": An Introduction to Conspiracy Theories (AP Photo) Robert Graysmith, author of Zodiac and Zodiac Unmasked, views cryptographs used by the Zodiac killer. After Hofstadter: Conspiracy Theories in America By Paul McCaffrey Most authorities agree that the modern study of conspiracy theories began in 1964, when the historian Richard Hofstadter published his seminal essay “The Paranoid Style in American Politics” in the October issue of Harper’s Magazine. Though Hof- stadter’s thesis has endured its share of criticism over the years, with some contend- ing that the ideas he enunciated have since been overapplied, it remains one of the essential texts in understanding conspiracy theories and their various components. Written in the long shadow of the John F. Kennedy assassination, “The Paranoid Style” is very much a product of its time and place, yet the issues and themes it il- luminates continue to resonate in the present day. Moreover, through his survey of conspiracy theories throughout American history, Hofstadter draws powerful paral- lels between the past and the present, suggesting that the so-called “paranoid style” is a common and enduring historical current, one that comes in “waves of different intensity, [but] appears to be all but ineradicable.” While Hofstadter’s modern examination focuses on right-wing political move- ments in the United States—Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Red Scare and the John Birch Society, for example—he explores antecedents going back to the 1700s that do not fall so neatly on one side or the other of the Left-Right divide, such as an- ti-Catholic and anti-Masonic movements.
