One examines the legal-cultural attitude of immigrants from the former Soviet Union to Israel while the other investigates US Immigration Policy and the notion of child saving. Other articles cover the institutional dynamics of same-sex marriage debates in America; the anti-strip mining movement in central Appalachia; an analysis of the death penalty in Maricopa County, Arizona, one of the most active death penalty locales in the contemporary U.S; and affirmative defenses at the International Criminal Court." 410 0$aStudies in law, politics, and society ;$vvolume 66. 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 606 $aLaw$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPolitical sociology 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 615 0$aLaw$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 676 $a340.02 702 $aSarat$b Austin 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812164803321 996 $aStudies in law, politics, and society$92599556 997 $aUNINA
