El objetivo de este trabajo es la operación del servicio específico, entendido como un derecho, dentro del ordenamiento chileno. Más allá de una intención de orden sistemático, que organice la normativa aplicable, lo que se busca es profundizar el estudio de su funcionamiento y la interpretación del mismo, para que pueda acercarse de mejor manera a una realidad contractual y económica de esa imperaba en el siglo XIX. Dado que su ordenación en las normas civiles positivas no es exhaustiva, es que muchas de las problemáticas que se presentan deben ser solucionadas mediante la integración de otras materias que deben alcanzar las soluciones. En este sentido, no solo se puede examinar ...
La presente obra, persigue efectuar una contribución a la manera en que el derecho de los contratos es estudiado en las universidades chilenas y aplicado en la práctica diaria, recurriendo para ello al análisis de diversos fallos dictados por nuestros tribunales superiores de justicia. Este punto de partida no es causal, pues los directores coinciden en que un correcto entendimiento de la manera en que funciona nuestro sistema de derecho privado no puede quedar limitado a un análisis de las reglas legales, puesto que, el estudio de la jurisprudencia resulta esencial a fin de comprender la manera en que el derecho es aplicado, cobrando vida, por lo que no es posible un divorcio entre la p...
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in the Chile. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale. Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts. The bo...
El objetivo de esta obra es presentar y analizar el concepto de cosa juzgada desde una perspectiva amplia que permita apreciar comparativamente a través de ella los modelos de proceso civil de las tradiciones jurídicas más relevantes del mundo occidental, a saber, aquella denominada derecho civil o derecho continental y aquella denominada derecho común -common la- o derecho anglosajón, tomando como muestras las regulaciones de Chile, España e Inglaterra respectivamente. Si partimos desde el supuesto de que la litigación sin un punto final deviene en caos para un sistema de justicia, y consecuencialmente para el Estado, aparece entonces de manifiesto la relevancia que las reglas de cla...
Este libro pone al día a la literatura jurídica nacional y nos presenta una obra maciza, completa y actualizada sobre las distintas instituciones, teorías y conceptos involucrados en la responsabilidad contractual. El autor incorpora aspectos que suelen encontrarse solo en textos que desarrollan la teoría general del contrato, como la imprevisión, el abuso del derecho o los efectos de los contratos, y también analiza instituciones que tradicionalmente han sido abordadas solo en artículos especializados, como la declaración unilateral de voluntad, la simulación, el fraude a la ley, el deber del acreedor de mitigar los daños, la interferencia en contrato ajeno, la acción pauliana y ...
Trees have been around for more than 370 million years, and today there are about 80 thousand species of them, occupying 3.5 billion hectares worldwide, including 250 million ha of commercial plantations. While forests can provide tremendous environmental, social, and economic benefits to nations, they also affect the hydrologic cycle in different ways. As the demand for water grows and local precipitation patterns change due to global warming, plantation forestry has encountered an increasing number of water-related conflicts worldwide. This document provides a country-by-country summary of the current state of knowledge on the relationship between forest management and water resources. Based on available research publications, the Editor-in-Chief of this document contacted local scientists from countries where the impact of forest management on water resources is an issue, inviting them to submit a chapter.
Information and its Role in Hunter-Gatherer Bands explores the question of how information, broadly conceived, is acquired, stored, circulated, and utilized in small-scale hunter-gatherer societies, or bands. Given the nature of this question, the volume brings together a group of scholars from multiple disciplines, including archaeology, ethnography, linguistics, and evolutionary ecology. Each of these specialties deals with the question of information in different ways and with different sets of data given different primacy. The fundamental goal of the volume is to bridge disciplines and subdisciplines, open discussion, and see if some common ground-either theoretical perspectives, general principles, or methodologies-can be developed upon which to build future research on the role of information in hunter-gatherer bands.

In what, if any sense are our torts and our breaches of contract 'wrongs'? These two branches of private law have for centuries provided philosophers and jurists with grounds for puzzlement and this book provides both an outline of, and intervention in, contemporary jurisprudential debates about the nature and foundation of liability in private law.
