Justice and Law
Apart from considering classical theories of justice from Aristotle, Plato, Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Bible, and the Quran, the aim of Justice and Law is to focus on the contemporary vista, reviewing some of the modern ideas of justice advanced by legal philosophers of our time, such as John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas, Ronald Dworkin, Robert Nozick, Richard A. Posner, Wojciech Sadurski, Marxism, or Feminist Theories. In the second part of the work, María José Falcón y Tella deals with some of the principal themes relating to justice, such as punishment, civil disobedience, conscientious objection, just war, conflict of duties, and tolerance.
A Three-Dimensional Theory of Law
What this book intends to do is to study three-dimensionalism (the distinction values-norms-facts) not in what could be called its historical dimension, but in its substantive aspect, as a “form” that, when applied to different legal themes, would add a “material content” to the three-dimensional theory. We can point out, as a study plan, the distinction between “three” perspectives: Those of the legal norm, of the legal order, and the legal relationship. Three-dimensionalism also appears in this work when one analyzes the “three” phases of the life of the law: The formation, the interpretation, and the application; and in the distinction between the “three” characteristics of the legal order: Fullness, coherence, and unity—the theory of legal validity, intended as legitimacy, as validity strictly speaking, or as effectiveness.

Challenges for Human Rights
Nowadays we are fortunate enough to be experiencing a boom in human rights - an enormous increase of their importance in the international sphere at all levels (political, economic, social, legal and moral). For the first time the condition of the individual as “citizen,” and not just as “subject,” has gained importance. Individuals, and not only states, have now become the subjects of international law, as a result of the boom in humanitarian law and international criminal law. However, although there have been many battles won and goals met concerning human rights, the war against injustice continues and the fight has not ended. It is necessary to stay alert and to avoid a potentia...
Civil Disobedience
This volume seeks to disentangle the limits and possibilities of the tradition of civil disobedience: in what circumstances is it right, or perhaps necessary, to say "no"? The jurisprudential and philosophical literature discussed here is truly enormous and provides a complex and reliable overview of the main problems.
Globalización, ciudadanía y derechos humanos
En este libro se analizan los actuales contextos espacio-temporales de desarrollo de los derechos humanos, a saber: los procesos de globalización neoliberal de la economía y el mercado, por una parte, y los procesos de "localización", esto es, los procesos de fragmentación social y cultural de la ciudadanía, en búsqueda y en recuperación de identidades perdidas o marginadas. Ambos procesos se analizan como las dos caras de la misma moneda, esto es, como las dos caras de la disociación o ruptura producida entre, por una parte, la universalidad de la lógica individualista, acumulacionista y utilitarista del mercado capitalista global y, por otra parte, el pluralismo de la lógica identitaria y fragmentada de las actuales relaciones sociales y culturales; todo lo cual está produciendo unos específicos conflictos multiculturales propios de la globalización.
Law, Legal Culture and Society
This volume addresses the pluralistic identity of the legal order. It argues that the mutual reflexivity of the different ways society perceives law and law perceives society eclipses the unique formal identity of written law. It advances a distinctive approach to the plural ways in which legal cultures work in a modern society, through the metaphor of the mirror. As a mirror of society, it distinguishes between the structure and function of legal culture within the legal system, and the external representation of law in society. This duality is further problematized in relation to the increasing transnationalisation of law. Based on a multi-level interpretation of the concept of legal culture, the work is divided into three parts: the first addresses the mutual reflections of social and legal norms that support a pluralist representation of internal legal cultures, the second concentrates on the external legal cultures that constantly enable pragmatic adjustments of the legal order to its social environment, and the third concludes the book with a theoretical discussion of the issues presented.
Responsabilidad penal de la empresa multinacional ¿Filosofía o sicología de los derechos humanos?
Quien pretenda, como lo hace el autor de este trabajo, proponer un modelo de responsabilidad penal para las empresas multinacionales (EMN) se adentra en ámbitos de estudio e investigación aún en plena construcción. Es más, diría, sin temor a equivocarme, que emprende una titánica tarea, pues se enfrenta a concepciones tradicionales del derecho penal, del derecho internacional y del derecho de los derechos humanos, con las cuales, muy a pesar de su aceptación teórica, no será posible aportar soluciones satisfactorias en la sociedad global de hoy. Ahora bien, eso fue precisamente lo que William J. Parra advirtió desde el inicio de esta investigación, de tal manera que la necesidad de superar los estáticos paradigmas teóricos fue el norte de este trabajo, orientado a construir un modelo que en verdad explicara la realidad del funcionamiento de las empresas multinacionales en la sociedad moderna e internacional, su posición normativa y los criterios de su responsabilidad (especialmente de orden penal).
