In \u003ci\u003eInducing Immunity?\u003c\/i\u003e, legal philosopher Roland Pierik and bioethicist Marcel Verweij, explore ways to regulate collective immunization in as democratic a manner as possible. Approaching the problem as a matter of a conflict between the responsibility of government to protect public health and the basic right to freedom of citizens, Pierik and Verweij argue that John Stuart Mill's harm principle-the idea that individuals should be free to act so long as their actions do not harm others-offers a strong basis for coercive immunization policies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Covering childhood immunization policies, as well as vaccination programs aimed at adult citizens, the authors argue that a coercive immunization policy in any liberal democracy must first satisfy the principle of proportionality. This leads them to an in-depth exploration of the role of exemptions, the nature of coercion, and the contents of vaccination programs. In the final part of the book, the authors also discuss the importance and scope of freedom of speech, given how the current spread of misinformation has undermined confidence in vaccines.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Offering an in-depth analysis in bioethics and legal philosophy, \u003ci\u003eInducing Immunity\u003c\/i\u003e? is a sensible and applicable guide for health professionals, policymakers, and academics alike on how we can-and must-do better with our immunization policies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49748316061969,"sku":"NGR9780262547796","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262547791.jpg?v=1750695402"},{"product_id":"cosmopolitanism-in-context-book-roland-pierik-9781107693098","title":"Cosmopolitanism in Context","description":"Is it possible and desirable to translate the basic principles underlying cosmopolitanism as a moral standard into effective global institutions.

Some argue that the unelected Strasbourg activists in robes should not interfere with democratic policy decisions that were made nationally. This inaugural lecture analyses this practice of rights-based judicial review by the Strasbourg Court.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e Judicial review: weak or strong? \u003cp\u003eThe first part presents a general legal-philosophical background. It explains that republicans, who emphasize the importance of the democratic way of self-governance, are in favour of weak forms of judicial review. Liberals, who prioritise the constitutionally protected fundamental rights, are in favour of strong judicial review.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second part employs this conceptual toolbox to describe and analyse judicial review as exercised by the Strasbourg Court since its inception in 1959. Should we understand it as strong, weak, or as something in between? I conclude that it is best understood as a weakened form of strong judicial review.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The third part provides a normative discussion of the Strasbourg Court in the context of the emerging European constitutional landscape. It starts from the observation that the European Convention on Human Rights is first and foremost a collaboration of Party States that pursue congruent constitutional-democratic projects. This third part investigates the role of judicial review by the European Court in the ongoing dialogue with Party States in cementing a convention constitutionalism through the further strengthening of a European consensus on the content and impact of Convention rights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e Maastricht Law Series \u003cp\u003eCreated in 2018 by Boom juridisch and Eleven International Publishing in association with the Maastricht University Faculty of Law, the Maastricht Law Series publishes books on comparative, European and International law.
