Agents of empire
Authors: Ohlmeyer Jane 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the agency of people from Ireland as they engaged with empires across the early modern world and notes the ease with which some flitted across these empires and created considerable economic opportunities. Section I focuses on the English empire and the importance of cosmopolitan London, and explores who these agents were, what they did, how, and why. Section II develops the notion of trans-imperialism and of an ‘Irish global empire’ built on the back of other European powers. Section III examines the Irishness of the English empire in the Atlantic and Asia and aims to complicate the dominant coloniser narrative. Section IV asks what being trans-imperial meant for senses of identity, especially for ‘Irishness’, ‘Englishness’, and ‘Britishness’.
Reason
Authors: Schafer Karl 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, I focus on the form of cognition that reason in particular aims to achieve. In doing so, I begin with more familiar characterizations of reason in Kant as the capacity for inference and cognition from principles, before turning to a more neglected characterization: reason as the capacity for “comprehension” (Begreifen). This is a cognitive achievement that is roughly equivalent to what contemporary epistemologists have in mind with “understanding”, which Kant conceives of as insight or cognition from principles that is sufficient to our purposes. In the remainder of this chapter, I discuss the significance of this conception of reason’s aims, focusing on two issues. First, I discuss the significance of the fact that, unlike his rationalist predecessors, Kant conceives of reason as a capacity, not for rational insight full stop, but rather for comprehension. I argue that this is closely associated with Kant’s critical modesty about the reach of reason. But I also argue that this characterization of reason is significant for our understanding of the unity of theoretical and practical reason. Like cognition in general, comprehension comes in both a theoretical and a practical form. Thus, we can make use of the idea of reason as the capacity for comprehension to better understand the unity of reason, while also using Kant’s end- or purpose-relative conception of comprehension to explain his claims about the primacy of practical reason’s ends or interests.

Abstract
The chapter concludes the discussion with a brief discussion of four issues. First, it returns to the implications of this conception of reason for our understanding of the entire system of rational capacities, arguing that what results from my account is a radicalization of Longuenesse’s work on the teleological structure of such capacities. Then it returns to the potential advantages of the resulting “reason-first” approach to meta-normative questions by comparing this approach to some of the forms of “reasons fundamentalism” in the recent literature, and argues that the connections established between reason, understanding, and autonomy also provide a powerful framework for critiquing many social and political institutions as implicitly irrational. But the chapter ends on a less optimistic note, by briefly considering whether Kant really provides us with a satisfying framework for thinking about how reason is realized in finite, sensibly conditioned creatures. In doing so, the chapter suggests that Kant’s conception of the unity of theoretical and practical reason, while powerful, remains insufficient in some ways to do justice to their interdependence. A more satisfying picture of this relationship points us towards the attempts of Kant’s idealist successors to better integrate these concerns into the foundations of the critical system.
Universal Natural History
Authors: Cooper Andrew 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis chapter examines Kant’s early work on natural history. It argues that Kant’s first major work on the subject, Universal Natural History, must be situated against the backdrop of a fierce debate regarding the extension of Newtonian method if its full significance is to be appreciated. In contrast to standard readings, the chapter claims that Kant builds on the materialist interpretation of Newtonianism advanced by Maupertuis and Buffon to elevate natural history to the status of a physical science capable of explaining the present diversity of things. Kant’s conception of natural history is universal to the extent that it grounds the mathematical principles of Newtonianism in quasi-Leibnizian material forces, thereby situating the diversity of natural products within a single causal nexus that traces back to an original diffusion of matter.
Carving at the Joints
Authors: Moore A. W. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This essay first appeared as a critical notice of Ted Sider’s Writing the Book of the World. Sider argues that an optimal description of the world must capture its basic structure, and that both physicists and metaphysicians can contribute to this enterprise, although the latter have an additional concern with the nature of the enterprise itself. It is argued not only that this concern is more subjective and more parochial than Sider allows, but also, contrary to what he insists, that there is something subjective even about structure as he conceives it. It is further argued, in the same vein, that by allowing metaphysicians to have a concern with the nature of the enterprise Sider makes a significant concession to a conception of metaphysics to which he would be firmly opposed, namely the conception of metaphysics as a humanistic discipline. Sider’s own rival conception of metaphysics emerges as unduly scientistic, but also, revealingly, as containing elements that militate against just such scientism.
Maxims and Thick Ethical Concepts
Authors: Moore A. W. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The starting point for this essay is provided by Kant’s notion of a maxim and the role that it plays in his formulations of the fundamental categorical imperative. This raises the question of what a maxim is, and why there is not the same requirement for resolutions of other kinds to play the same role. An answer to this question is proffered that draws on Bernard Williams’s notion of a thick ethical concept and that is intended neither in a spirit of simple exegesis nor as a straightforward exercise in moral philosophy but as something that is poised somewhere between the two. The aim is to provide a kind of rational reconstruction of Kant. In the final section of the essay it is argued that this reconstruction, while it manages to salvage something distinctively Kantian, also does justice to the relativism involved in what J. L. Mackie calls ‘people’s adherence to and participation in different ways of life’.

Abstract
This final chapter brings together the themes discussed in the book. It begins by comparing television series and movies about violence in Medellín with the cinematic representations of the 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway. We highlight the differential treatment of victims in these two regions, and the differences in how they shape cinematic portrayals. The victims’ ability to participate in collective history-making depends not only on their economic, cultural, or social capital, but also on their geographic location. This chapter highlights the need for a debate about the consequences of commercial exploitation of drug violence for societies and individuals, as well as a need to challenge the narrative power of certain commercial actors, such as Netflix, in shaping collective memories of societies.
Financial Institutions in Distress
Authors: Davis Ronald , Madaus Stephan , Marcucci Monica , Mevorach Irit , Mokal Riz , Romaine Barbara , Sarra Janis , Tirado Ignacio 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Political boundaries are often porous to finance, financial intermediation, and financial distress. Yet they are highly impervious to financial regulation. When inhabitants of a country suffering a deficit of purchasing power are able to access funds flowing in from a country with a surfeit of such power, the inhabitants of both countries may benefit. They may also benefit when institutions undertaking such cross-border intermediation experience economies of scale and are able to innovate and to offer funds and services at lower costs. Inevitably, however, at least some such institutions will sometimes suffer distress in one country and may then transmit such distress to other countries in which it operates. The efficacy of any response to such cross-border transmission of distress may turn on the response being given due effect in both (or all) the territories in which the distressed financial institution operates. This situation creates a conundrum for policymakers, legislators, and regulators who wish to enable those subject to their jurisdiction to access the benefits of cross-border financial intermediation, yet cannot make rules and regulations that would have effect outside that jurisdiction. This book explores this conundrum and offers a response. It advocates for the creation of a model law that would address the full range of financial institutions, and that would enable relevant authorities to cooperate with counterparts in advance of the onset of distress and to give appropriate effect in their jurisdiction to measures taken by counterpart authorities in other jurisdictions in which the distressed institution also operates.

Abstract
The conclusion offers some final thoughts on insights throughout the book. The proposed features of a Model Law on Cross-border Financial Institution Resolution framework promote global solutions and enhanced cooperation and coordination between resolution authorities, while giving due regard to local expectations and concerns. A global approach to restructuring and liquidation of financial institutions is essential to containing the systemic impact of financial institution failure. At the same time, the regime must have regard to the impact of the resolution solution on the local creditors, depositors, and policyholders, and on the stability of the domestic financial system. The key features of effective cross-border resolution measures address the cross-border aspects of the financial distress and promote centralized approaches, while recognizing that local jurisdictions may, in relevant circumstances, more fairly and efficiently administer local liabilities and assets. Such a process respects the normative weight of legislative choices in each jurisdiction that are not unfair or prejudicial to interests affected outside the jurisdiction.
Care Robots and Affective Legitimacy
Authors: DeFalco Amelia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 1 focuses on human/robot care. It explores the capacity of nonhumans to be involved in so-called real care relations, interrogating discourses of legitimacy and authenticity and how these discourses are mobilized in treatments of posthuman affective relations. The chapter analyses three fictional texts that challenge conventional distinctions drawn between authentic and simulated care and the common assumption that good care is necessarily human care: Louisa Hall’s novel Speak, the television program Real Humans, and the film Robot and Frank.
Feral Touch
Authors: DeFalco Amelia 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the haptic dimensions of posthuman care via an examination of imagined feral and alien relations. It explores the neuroanatomy, ethics, and politics of touch alongside fictions of posthuman haptic care at the margins of human “civilized” society, care in ruins and dumps, remote jungles, and razed forests, in dilapidated houses and desolate highlands. In Eva Hornung’s novel Dog Boy, Bhanu Kapil’s Humanimal: A Project for Future Children, and the film Under the Skin, narratives of feral children and alien encounters exaggerate and amplify the mundane, everyday posthuman tactile encounters that form the fabric of embodied life, demonstrating how the relationality and open-endedness of touch creates affirmative possibilities for becoming alongside risks of violence, aggression, and domination.
Introduction
Authors: Howell Edward 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe introductory chapter presents an overview of this book’s overarching argument and context. In so doing, it outlines the fundamental rationale, puzzle, and case study – namely, North Korea – underpinning this book. This chapter emphasises the starting point for this book, with respect to how the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the state that has been so often nicknamed the “hermit kingdom”, has, in fact, acquired the status of a nuclear-armed state, in all but name. At the same time, North Korea has obtained a notorious global reputation as the poster-child of delinquent behaviour in international relations. The chapter summarises the main argument of the book, vis-à-vis how North Korea has been able to reap rewards from deploying delinquent behaviour in relation to the global nuclear order. The concepts of the global nuclear order; status in international relations; and the original theoretical framework of “strategic delinquency” are subsequently introduced, the latter which forms the core of this book’s argument and analysis. Finally, this chapter offers an outline of subsequent chapters, which highlight how North Korea’s world view and its engagement with the global nuclear order and wider international order have evolved with time.
Strategic delinquency
Authors: Howell Edward 
Published: August 2023

AbstractChapter 2 outlines the theoretical framework of ‘strategic delinquency’. In so doing, it underscores how, whilst delinquent behaviour with respect to the global nuclear order and wider international order inflicts a range of costs, it can also procure beneficial social and material outcomes for the respective delinquent state. This framework highlights how states must consider the trade-offs of defying or complying with nuclear and broader international norms in deciding their behavioural choices. Before outlining this framework, this chapter outlines how the global nuclear order, and its evolving nature with time, remain inextricably intertwined with questions of international status. It emphasizes how, after its creation and consolidation in the post-war era, the global nuclear order and, specifically, the nuclear non-proliferation regime, have become increasingly fragile, not least owing to the nuclear aspirations of so-called ‘rogue’ nuclear states such as North Korea. As such, this chapter argues how engaging in strategic delinquency is one response by states that occupy a lower-status position within the global nuclear order in pursuit of beneficial outcomes.
Quest for significance
Authors: Howell Edward 
Published: August 2023

AbstractChapter 3 applies the framework of ‘strategic delinquency’ to the so-called ‘first nuclear crisis’ from December 1985 to October 1994. It examines how North Korea’s nuclear ambitions gained prominence even before the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) joined the global nuclear order and Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1985. Prior to acceding to the NPT, the DPRK’s international status was in decline as it was already violating the norms of the post-war liberal international order. This chapter divides the ‘first nuclear crisis’ into three phases. In so doing, it examines how North Korea’s deployment of delinquent behaviour was cyclical, from outward compliance with nuclear norms after joining the NPT; to norm transgression in 1993 when it threatened to withdraw from the NPT; to an act of norm compliance in 1994, when it signed the Agreed Framework with the United States and agreed to freeze its then nascent nuclear development in exchange for considerable rewards. This chapter underscores how the ‘first nuclear crisis’ taught North Korea the fundamental lesson that it could gain social and material rewards despite breaching nuclear and wider international norms.
Bad romance

AbstractChapter 6 applies the framework of strategic delinquency to the revealing behaviour of North Korea during the US administration of Donald Trump, placing particular focus on the period from 2017 to 2019. In so doing, it examines how North Korea’s accelerating nuclear ambitions and pursuit of international status were heavily influenced by the unprecedented foreign policy of the Trump administration, the declining stability of the nuclear order, and a waning US commitment to the nuclear order during this time. This chapter emphasizes how, during this time, North Korea’s initially provocative behaviour, marked by the launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles in 2017, was followed by feigned compliance with nuclear norms and the United States’ demands. It highlights how North Korea sought to leverage the unusual disposition of President Trump in order to compel the United States to abandon its ‘hostile policy’, ease unilateral and multilateral sanctions imposed upon the Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK), and gain international recognition as a nuclear state. Despite three presidential-level summits between Kim Jong Un and Trump and the same number of meetings between Kim Jong Un and his South Korean counterpart, Moon Jae-in, North Korea failed to reap its desired outcomes, in no small part owing to its reluctance to concede on its increasingly sophisticated nuclear programme. As a result, by 2020, the DPRK had lost interest both in the global nuclear order and in dialogue with the United States. Relations between Washington and Pyongyang had reached a nadir.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter covers the extent of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. It explores the general provision surrounding immigration and asylum, which amends several sections of the Amends Immigration Act 1971. If the regularisation period overstayers may apply, in the prescribed manner, for leave to remain in the United Kingdom. Moreover, the Act also includes the procedures in connection with marriage on the superintendent registrar's certificate. The chapter then considers the various offences committed under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, such as false representations, dishonest representation, and delay. It explains that an immigration officer may arrest without warrant a person whom the immigration officer reasonably suspects has committed an offence.
Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006
Authors: Allen Frances , Gasparro Julia , Swaney Jo , Phelan Margaret , Gillespie James 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter explains that the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 aims to make provisions about immigration, asylum, and nationality. It explains penalties surrounding the employment of an adult subject to immigration control, citing that the Secretary of State may give a notice requiring employers to pay a penalty. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland enforce different provisions concerning the payable sum to the Secretary of State as a penalty. Thus, the Secretary of State can issue a code of practice on the factors of the imposed penalty. The chapter also details how employers with notice can appeal for their case.

Abstract
This chapter covers the provisions of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009. It explains that the Act aims to provide for customs functions to be exercisable by the Secretary of State, the Director of Border Revenue and officials designated by them. Moreover, the provisions revolve around the use and disclosure of customs information, which subsequently concerns the exercise of customs functions and functions relating to immigration, asylum or nationality. The chapter elaborates on the extent of border functions, citizenship, and immigration indicated in the Act. It cites that the Schedule of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 contains repeals.
Practice Statement No.1 of 2022, of the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) on or after 13 May 2022
Authors: Allen Frances , Gasparro Julia , Swaney Jo , Phelan Margaret , Gillespie James 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter looks into the Practice Statement of the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) on or after 13 May 2022. The Practice Statement replaces all previous Practice Statements issued by the President insofar as they relate to the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber). The Tribunal criticises a notice of appeal as soon as practicable after it has been lodged, so Rule 22 makes no provision for any issue arising under the rule. The chapter explains the review of the decision of the Legal Officer and that applications must be made for the access of proceeding records. It mentions the provisions for the anonymity of directions and orders.

Abstract
This chapter examines the immigration judicial review in the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the Upper Tribunal on or After 1 November 2013. The Practice State supplements the Senior President’s Practice Direction (PD) in respect of applications for judicial review. Moreover, an application for permission to bring the proceedings may be made directly to the Upper Tribunal, where the application is designated as an immigration matter in the Lord Chief Justice’s direction. Meanwhile, the application for permission will not be considered before the time for lodging an Acknowledgment of Service (AOS) has expired. The chapter also cites the notions of urgent consideration and the cost of the Senior President’s PD.
