...The majority of Hannah Arendt’s work emerged after she and her husband fled to the United States in 1941 due to the outbreak World War II and having to serve detention in a camp as an, “enemy alien,” because of evidence she had gathered of the regime’s anti-Semitism. It was ten years later that she became a legal citizen of the United States. Arendt wrote for Aufbau, a German language newspaper, and also was a director of research for the Commission on European Jewish Cultural Reconstruction. Hannah Arendt’s work and ideas cannot be put together onto one single spectrum of ideas or argument on one topic. Her thoughts and works cover totalitarianism, the nature of freedom, revolution, and the power of thought and judgment (Hannah Arendt). Her first major piece of work was completed in 1951 and is known as The...

...Hannah Arendt on the History of the Modern Jew and its Ties to Totalitarianism German-born, Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt made her literary debut with her book The Origins of Totalitarianism which she published in 1951 to discuss the roots of Naziism, Jewry, and totalitarianism as present in current society. Arendt’s work can still be looked at today as an analysis of how totalitarianism can come to be. Additionally, it can be used as a warning for signs of totalitarianism today and help prevent it from coming to power. Arendt claims modern Jewry, a product of the French Revolution, was followed by the development of anti semitism which led to the Holocaust and totalitarianism in Germany. Towards the end of the French Revolution in the...

...CRIME, PROCEDURE AND EVIDENCE IN A COMPARATIVE AND INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT This book aims to honour the work of Professor Mirjan Damaška, Sterling Professor of Law at Yale Law School and a prominent authority for many years in the fields of comparative law, procedural law, evidence, international criminal law and Continental legal history. Professor Damaška’s work is renowned for providing new frameworks for understanding different legal traditions. To celebrate the depth and richness of his work and discuss its implications for the future, the editors have brought together an impressive range of leading scholars from different jurisdictions in the fields of comparative and international law, evidence and criminal law and procedure. Using Professor Damaška’s work as a backdrop, the essays make a substantial contribution to the development of comparative law, procedure and evidence. After an introduction by the editors and a tribute by Harold Koh, Dean of Yale Law School, the book is divided into four parts. The first part considers contemporary trends in national criminal procedure, examining cross-fertilisation and the extent to which these trends are resulting in converging practices across national jurisdictions. The second part explores the epistemological environment of rules of evidence and procedure. The third part analyses human rights standards and the phenomenon of hybridisation in transnational and international criminal law. The final part of the book assesses Professor...
