Basic freedoms cannot be abandoned in times of conflict, or can they? Are basic freedoms routinely forsaken during times when there are national security concerns? These questions present different conundrums for the legal profession, which generally values basic freedoms but is also part of the architecture of emergency legal frameworks. Unleashing the Force of Law uses multi-jurisdiction empirical data and draws on cause lawyering, political lawyering and Bourdieusian juridical field literature to analyze the invocation of legal norms aimed at the protection of basic freedoms in times of national security tensions. It asks three main questions about the protection of basic freedoms. First, when do lawyers mobilize for the protection of basic freedoms? Second, in what kind of mobilization do they engage? Third, how do the strategies they adopt relate to the outcomes they achieve? Covering the last five decades, the book focusses on the 1980s and the Noughties through an analysis of legal work for two groups of independence seekers in the 1980s, namely, Republican (mostly Catholic) separatists in Northern Ireland and Puerto Rican separatists in the US, and on post-9/11 issues concerning basic freedoms in both countries

“It has been demonstrated beyond doubt, by the experience of this writer and his associates, that a United States government committed to the establishment of its own National Bank and an International Development Bank will gain virtually immediate agreement for practice with, at the very least, nearly every nation of the world, excepting a few stubborn cases of remaining governments, which can be merely tolerated . . . .” --Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. writing in The Case of Walter Lippmann: A Presidential Strategy, 1977 More that 40 years later, the truth of this statement is obvious to all who take the time to investigate. The irony is that it is the government of China which has proven this to be true. Loans from national and international Development Banks begun by China have brought most of the world into cooperative development partnerships with China. It pays to listen to the wisdom of Lyndon LaRouche! In 2016, after decades destroying the once most prosperous and industrially progressive society in history, the Tories finally lost complete control of the American Presidency. In 2018, as we release this new edition of LaRouche’s most important book of 1977, there is a fierce struggle ongoing inside America to determine whether the Presidency of the United States will finally and permanently be put under complete control of forces loyal to the General Welfare of the People and Posterity of America; or whether the until recently dominant Tory interests which have abused the powers of the American Presidency to spread imperial wars, poverty, and hopelessness, will be allowed to continue the destruction of the nation and the world. Will we be able to truly make America great again and take a leading role in cooperation with especially Russia, China and India for world development along the lines long promoted by Lyndon LaRouche and Helga Zepp-LaRouche? Or, will the British Empire/Wall Street interests finally accomplish the complete destruction of America (and possibly the world in general) via predatory finance and further geopolitical games played with thermonuclear fire? This book is a history of this struggle, as well as a guide to be used by Patriotic forces in finally defeating the Tory faction in order to put America back into a leading role in the development of science, technology and the further uplifting of mankind in general—and the suffering American people in particular.

Every day, police officers face challenges ranging from petty annoyances to the risk of death in the line of duty. Coupled with these difficulties is, in some cases, lack of community respect for the officers despite the dangers these men and women confront while protecting the public. Exploring issues of courage, integrity, leadership, and charact

This book re-examines the relationship between phenomenology, interpretation, and the problem of community, a topic that has been at the center of recent debates in Continental thought. From the outset, phenomenology was intimately connected with the issues of interpretation and community, both by theoretical paradigm and substance. Indeed, Husserl sought to distinguish his own foundational investigations from others that stressed the interpretive and historical character of the rational or that contested such foundational enterprises out of a concern for the critique of ideology and the "hermeneutics of suspicion." He argued equally as stringently for the primacy of such theoretical issues over other studies, such as ethics, political theory, or aesthetics, that shaped the itinerary of philosophical inquiry. In a similar manner, the essays encountered here continue the debates that accompany the complex phenomenologies of post-Kantian Continental thought concerning the rational status of the self and its ambiguous relationship with the community—and thus, in turn, the ambiguous relationship between the "rational community," civil society, and the contested dynamics of its conceptualization and adjudication. Because it considers these issues from several viewpoints, including the legacy of German idealism and the discourses emerging from the Frankfurt School and contemporary post-structuralist thought, this volume serves both as an introduction to Continental philosophy on these issues as well as a guide to the status of recent debates.
