    • Juvenile Justice Reform and Policy convergence in the New Vietnam
    Authors: Cox, Pamela;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2010)

    This article analyses juvenile justice reform in Vietnam and suggests how this connects with key transformations in wider Vietnamese cultures of control. It offers a grounded investigation of themes raised in recent discussions of policy transfer in the global criminal justice field. It concurs with others that global processes of policy convergence have their local limits, using Vietnamese examples to illustrate where this convergence comes about in practice and where it does not. It explores efforts to professionalize existing community justice practices through a discussion of perceived needs for ‘training’ and for the expansion of ‘counselling’. In doing so, it aims to show how justice practices that might be called ‘neo-welfarist’ are emerging in one of East Asia’s most remarka...

    • The Institutionalization of the International Criminal Court
    Authors: Huikuri, Salla;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2019)

    This book explores the institution of the International Criminal Court (ICC) as a policy instrument. It argues that after the Cold War the European Union started challenging the unilateral policies of the United States by promoting new norms and institutions, such as the ICC. This development flies in the face of traditional explanations for cooperation, which would theorize institutionalization as the result of hegemonic preponderance, rational calculations or common identities. The book explains the dynamics behind the emergence of the ICC with a novel theoretical concept of normative binding. Normative binding is a strategy that provides middle powers with the means to tie down the unilateral policies of powerful actors that prefer not to cooperate. The idea is to promote new mul...
    • Pathways and Consequences of Legal Irregularity, 1st ed.
    Authors: Vickstrom, Erik R.;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2019)

    This open access book provides a unique study of the complexities and consequences of irregular legal status of Senegalese migrants in Europe. It employs sophisticated quantitative methods to analyze unique life-history data to produce policy-relevant conclusions. Using the MAFE dataset as empirical evidence, the book focuses on the legal paths of Senegalese migrants in three different European countries. It shows how multiple contexts of reception produce pathways into irregular legal status and how the resulting complex configurations of irregular status shape migrants' economic integration into their host societies as well as their ongoing participation in the development of their sending societies. The book thereby increases our understanding of the functioning of African migrat...
    • Juvenile offenders in Vietnam and the right to defence
    Authors: Phạm, Thị Thanh Nga;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2016)

    This article examines Vietnams regulations and practices concerning the right to defence of juvenile offenders in comparison with international standards. I use mixed methods including statistics and analysis of case studies. Research findings indicate that Vietnams laws firmly state the right to defence of juvenile offenders but lack specific guarantees for appropriate legal support and protection of privacy.
