Multidisciplinary Dynamics of Mediation
This book casts an analytical eye on the legal dynamics of mediation premised on a multidisciplinary approach. This is the very first book to meld mediation and applied psychology with a view to portray the myriad of cognitive biases with which the great bulk of legal actors grapple/tussle with in mediation settings. The overriding goal of this book is to provide a multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and full-fledged framework to legal dynamics of mediation while emphasizing the paramount importance of incorporative mediation to protect the fundamental rights of the weakest disputant in the room-something that has not been done yet. This book is the very first one to provide a framework/frame of reference to the usage of artificial intelligence in the remit of both mediation settings and Restorative Relationship Session (RRS).

Law and the Exception
This book proposes a paradigm shift in the way that 'the state of exception' - as it is usually named in legal and political theory - is to be understood. Building on the assumption that the exception is a heuristic idea that is still a relevant category for a critical deconstruction of law, this book argues that it needs to be rethought outside the boundaries of its traditional understanding. To this end, the book offers two strategies. First, it develops the ideas of 'exceptionality' and 'exceptionalisation' in order to grasp how measures, norms and mechanisms that clearly have an exceptional character are no longer confined within the boundaries of classic institutions such as the state of exception, martial law, the state of emergency, and so on. As demonstrated recently during the COVID-19 pandemic, legal systems may dissimulate the exceptional as the normal, avoiding the use of formal states of exception and adopting measures that are of exceptional nature. As such, this book maintains, it is necessary to think of 'exceptionality' outside of its usual legal footholds. Rather, emergency laws are considered here as part of a more general sphere of exceptionality that must be understood as the product of a process of the accumulation of symbols, practices, notions, and images that are only partially expressed through law, despite having long populated the legal imagination. Second, the book offers an analysis of the inner exceptional life of liberal constitutionalism: the subterranean authoritarian drives dissimulated by the rule of law.This book will interest scholars and researchers in legal and political theory, as well as continental philosophy.

Poland, Ukraine's immediate neighbour, has played a pivotal role in managing the unprecedented influx of Ukrainian refugees and adapting its legal framework to the challenges posed by the war. The book uses Poland as a lens through which to examine the international legal response.This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of international law and human rights law.
Liabilities and Modern Artificial Intelligence
This book addresses how private law liability should be assigned in contexts where modern forms of AI are deployed.AI as a technology holds the potential to radically improve global society, yet the pace of its advancement far outstrips the pace at which legal systems are responding. This book explores legal approaches to AI, how AI should be legally characterised, and proposes an overarching theoretical liability framework termed the Tri-Phase AI Liability Model. This framework is flexible in nature and considers the type of AI, the context in which it is deployed, who has the most control over the AI system and the capacity of a deployed AI. In response, this book brings greatly needed clarity to the evolving landscape of AI governance, aiding in resolving existing and emerging private law challenges.This book is a timely response to the urgent need to resolve private law liabilities and will appeal to legal professionals, policymakers, and scholars looking to understand or contribute to the current and future governance of AI within private law.
