Domestic Courts and the Interpretation of International Law
Winner of the Walther Hug Prize 2021. Read more. In Domestic Courts and the Interpretation of International Law, Odile Ammann examines how domestic judges do and must interpret international law. She analyzes their interpretative methodology and the predictability, clarity, and consistency of their reasoning. Highlighting the main gaps in contemporary international legal scholarship regarding international law in domestic courts, Ammann offers a fresh and thorough theoretical reflection on this topic. Based on a detailed study of the judicial practice, she shows how courts' interpretative method and reasoning can be further improved. She also argues that interpretative methods must be taken more seriously in international law. While she primarily uses the Swiss example to illustrate her claims, the basic tenets of her analysis apply to any domestic legal context.
The European Dream
At one time the American Dream was the ideal and envy of the world. But today, at the dawn of the new Millennium, Europe is pointing a new way to the future. In this major new book, best-selling author Jeremy Rifkin argues that Europe has a vision of its own and is overtaking America as the world’s next superpower. The American Dream was based on economic growth, personal wealth and independence. It was synonymous with love of country and patriotism, frontier mentality and the unbridled exercise of power. Yet what were once considered prime virtues - cherished and idealised not only in America but throughout the world - are increasingly seen by many as drawbacks and even impediments. But w...

Émile Boutmy, le père de Sciences Po
En 1872, choqué par la défaite de la France face à la Prusse, Émile Boutmy décide de « refaire une tête au peuple ». Ce journaliste de 35 ans est accablé par les faiblesses de la classe dirigeante. Tenace, il affronte le milieu académique et créé l’École libre des sciences politiques. Dès l’origine, il diversifie le recrutement des étudiants. Refusant tout avantage lié à une position sociale, il ne considère que le talent de chacun. Un siècle et demi plus tard, non seulement son œuvre perdure, mais Sciences Po n’a jamais connu un tel engouement. Appuyé par des documents inédits, ce livre raconte l’histoire d’un homme qui, toute sa vie, s’est tenu à bonne distance du pouvoir. Un essai biographique qui se lit comme un roman, et une réflexion passionnante sur l’émancipation intellectuelle et la formation des élites. Nouvelle édition accompagnée d’une préface de Laurence Bertrand-Dorléac, historienne de l’art et présidente de la Fondation nationale des sciences politiques, et d’une postface de Pascal Perrineau, politologue et président de Sciences Po Alumni.
