This collection presents an analysis of the concept of secession and its constitutional accommodation alongside an assessment of the effects of secession in constitutional and international law. The work proposes a new approach and insights into the existing literature that fill a gap from multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives. The book approaches the topics of secession, constitutionalism, and their relationship from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, including the analysis of particular secessionist examples, such as Catalonia, the Basque Country, Tigray, the Palestinian minority in Israel, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Mapuche Nation, from a comparative constitu...
This illuminating book offers a timely assessment of the development and proliferation of precursor crimes of terrorism, exploring the functions and implications of these expanding offences in different jurisdictions. In response to new modes and sources of terrorism, attempts to pre-empt potential attacks through precursor offences have emerged. This book examines not only the meanings and effectiveness of this approach, but also the challenges posed to human rights and social and economic development.
This book analyses the features and functionality of the relationship between the law, individual or collective values and medical-scientific evidence when they have to be interpreted by judges, courts and para-jurisdictional bodies. The various degrees to which scientific data and moral values have been integrated into the legal discourse reveal the need for a systematic review of the options and solutions that judges have elaborated on. In turn, the book presents a systematic approach, based on a proposed pattern for classifying these various degrees, together with an in-depth analysis of the multi-layered role of jurisdictions and the means available to them for properly handling new legal demands arising in plural societies. The book outlines a model that makes it possible to focus on and address these issues in a sustainable manner, that is, to respond to individual requests and technological advances in the field of biolaw by consistently and effectively applying suitable legal instruments and jurisdictional interpretation.
A multilevel and comparative constitutional analysis of the impact of Euro-crisis law on the EU Constitution and its Member States.
Recent confrontations between constitutional courts and parliamentary majorities in several European countries have attracted international interest in the relationship between the judiciary and the legislature. Some political actors have argued that courts have assumed too much power and politics has been extremely judicialized. Yet the extent to which this aggregation of power may have constrained the dominant political actors’ room for manoeuvre has never been examined accurately and systematically. This volume fills this gap in the literature. To explore the diversity and measure the strength of judicial decisions, the authors have elaborated a new methodology that is intended to give ...
O escopo da presente investigação centra-se na interpretação do tipo objectivo do crime de burla do Código Penal português. Pretende dar-se um contributo para a resolução de alguns problemas levantados logo ao nível da conduta típica. Na primeira parte, procede-se à identificação do bem jurídico tutelado, ao tratamento do conceito jurídico-penal de património. E a algumas considerações a propósito do acto de disposição da vítima como momento determinante da consumação do crime. Na segunda parte, estuda-se com maior profundidade o engano como conduta típica, incluindo os modelos de outros ordenamentos jurídicos. Optando-se por um modelo objectivo dentro da teoria da imputação objectiva, adopta-se uma posição quanto ao erro como elemento normativo, quanto aos factos como objecto do engano e quanto aos critérios de relevância típica do engano a partir da imputação dos factos às esferas de responsabilidade da vítima e do agente.

El presente libro es una investigación realizada sobre la problemática de los conflictos derecho a la libertad de información de la libertad de expresión con el derecho al honor. Se trata de explicar sobre la necesidad de que se garantice la libertad de expresión e información mediante un adecuado tratamiento procesal, evitando la penalización de los comunicadores por tratarse de conflictos iusfundamentales que deben ser solucionados en la vía constitucional, y no como existe en muchos estados sanciones penales por difamación agravada que importa opiniones más que hechos. No puede haber dos vías, una constitucional que pretende evitar y reparar el daño, y una sanción con pena pr...
