This book explores the origins and evolution of China's institutions and communist totalitarianism in general. Contemporary China's fundamental institution is communist totalitarianism. Introducing the concept of "institutional genes" (IGs), the book examines how the IGs institutional genes of Soviet Russia merged with those of the Chinese imperial system, creating a durable totalitarian regime with Chinese characteristics - Regionally Administered Totalitarianism. Institutional Genes are fundamental institutional elements that self-replicate and guide institutional changes and are empirically identifiable. By analyzing the origins and evolution of IGs institutional genes in communist totalitarianism from Europe and Russia, as well as those from the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Communist Revolution, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and post-Mao reforms, the book elucidates the rise and progression of communist totalitarianism in China. The ascent of communist China echoes Mises' warning that efforts to halt totalitarianism have failed. Reversing this trend necessitates a thorough understanding of totalitarianism.

The right to liberty is sacrosanct. In Nigeria, and in Africa generally, however, it is not uncommon for civil rights to be curtailed and even violated by law enforcement agencies under the guise of enforcing the law. This has led to the incarceration of citizens without due process. In many cases, the safeguards to liberty have been observed more in the breach than in compliance due to factors peculiar to the administration of national criminal justice systems. Prison Decongestion in Nigeria aims to discuss remand proceedings, the initial prevalence of the holding charge, and the new order, enshrined in Nigeria by the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 and other relevant laws. A specialist and practitioner in Nigerian law, distinguished legal scholar Confidence Mbang argues that strict compliance with established procedure will reduce or eliminate civil rights violations in his country.

Does human rights law work? This book engages in this heated debate through a detailed analysis of thirty years of the right to health - perhaps the most complex human right - in Brazil. Are Brazilians better off three decades after the enactment of the right to health in the 1988 Constitution? Has the flurry of litigation experienced in Brazil helped or harmed the majority of the population? This book offers an in-depth analysis of these complex and controversial questions grounded on a wealth of empirical data. The book covers the history of the recognition of health as a human right in the 1988 Constitution through the Sanitary Movement's campaign and the subsequent three decades of what Ferraz calls the politics and judicialization of health. It challenges positions of both optimists and sceptics of human rights law and will be of interest to those looking for a more nuanced analysis.
