Research Handbook on Global Climate Constitutionalism
Climate change is causing traditional political and legal concepts to be revisited. The emergence of a global polity through physical, economic and social interaction demands global responses which should be founded upon new principles and which cannot simply be modelled on traditional constitutionalism centred on the nation-state. This Research Handbook explores how to build this climate constitutionalism at a global level, starting from the narrative of Anthropocene and its implications for law. It provides a critical approach to global environmental constitutionalism, analysing the problems of sustainability and global equity which are entwined with the causes and consequences of climate change. The Handbook explores how to develop constitutional discourses and strategies to address these issues, and thereby tackle the negative effects of climate change whilst also advancing a more sustainable, equitable and responsible global society.
Las mujeres y las profesiones jurídicas.
Hasta fechas muy recientes, ninguna de las imágenes recurrentes sobre lo que es femenino ha mostrado a una mujer administrando justicia o enseñando leyes, a pesar de que una mujer con los ojos vedados sea una de las representaciones más extendidas de la justicia en la cultura grecolatina. Tanto las ciencias como las artes, los saberes teóricos como los prácticos muestran formas variadas y contradictorias de ser mujer: en la vertiente positiva, aparecen como vírgenes indefensas, princesas delicadas, bellezas inspiradoras o ángeles del hogar consagradas al cuidado de la familia, complementando así las funciones de gobierno y liderazgo que se atribuye a los hombres; en la vertiente nega...
Política, economía y método en la investigación y aprendizaje del derecho
La percepción de que vivimos en una economía del conocimiento ha convertido en prioritaria la pregunta por los métodos de investigación y aprendizaje. En esta economía, de carácter preponderantemente inmaterial, donde el conocimiento y la información se erigen en mercancías de consumo, adquieren una gran importancia los procesos de información y comunicación mediante internet, por donde discurre actualmente todo tipo de relaciones humanas. La interconexión que generan estas tecnologías permite también considerar la producción de información y conocimiento como una empresa colectiva, es decir, como una actividad en la que participa de manera formal o informal, institucionalizad...
Reflections on Ethics and Responsibility
The original essays in this book address the influential writings of Peter A. French on the nature of responsibility, ethics, and moral practices. French’s contributions to a wide spectrum of philosophical discussions have made him a dominant figure in the fields of normative ethics, meta-ethics, applied ethics, as well as legal and political philosophy. Many of French’s deepest insights come from identifying and exploring the scope and nature of moral responsibility and human agency as they appear in actual events, real social and cultural practices, as well as in literature and film. This immediacy renders French’s scholarship vital and accessible to a wide variety of audiences. The ...
The Rights of Minorities: Cultural Groups, Migrants, Displaced Persons and Sexual Identity
This volume focuses on the rights of minorities. Minorities are often subject to discrimination and individuals find themselves being rejected by the majority. In such cases, people belonging to a minority suffer through hostile situations. Minorities discussed in this book are defined in terms of cultural groups, migrants, displaced persons, sexual minorities (sexual identity). As with the previous volume, readers are informed about the concept of human rights, as an instrument through which civil society tries to eliminate the hostility and suffering of minorities and restores a situation of normality. Minorities must also accept that a democratic society is governed by majority rule and t...
V Congresso de Direito Penal e de Processo Penal - Memórias
Nos 800 Anos da Magna Charta Libertarum, de 1215, devemos reafirmar os princípios, os direitos, as liberdades e as garantias penais materiais e processuais inscritas desde essa data memorável, que marcou o início da afirmação de valores que não podem ser destruídos por mais célere e eficaz que desejemos que a persecução criminal seja nos nossos dias. O legado que nos foi transmitido é a sua defesa e a resistência contra as teorias que pretendem niilificar o património jurídico-constitucional material e, posteriormente, formal construído nos últimos 800 anos de história da humanidade. Por isso, a intervenção penal material e processual deve, sempre, obedecer à arquitetura constitucional de equilíbrio entre a tutela efetiva de bens jurídicos carentes e dignos de tutela penal, fundamentais ao desenvolvimento harmonioso da comunidade, e a defesa do delinquente face ao pendor cada vez mais securitário do ius puniendi. Impõe-se a “luta” pela manutenção de uma arquitetura processual penal equilibrada independentemente da tipologia criminal em persecução.
