A Bishopric Between Three Kingdoms
This book explores the peculiarities of the Bishopric of Calahorra’s eleventh- and twelfth-century institutional development, and their profound relationship to the see’s location on a highly volatile frontier between the emergent and fiercely competitive Christian kingdoms of north-eastern Iberia.
Debating Laws
This book seeks to explore the potential and actual value of parliamentary debates as a source of legislative justification. Drawing on a sample of recent Spanish legislation, the papers collected here analyse (critically) the rationale of several laws or legislative measures as it can be reconstructed from the respective parliamentary discussions. All issues covered have given rise to intense political, legal and social controversy: they range from the combat against gender violence, the legal status of bullfighting, the protection of crime victims and the so-called ‘push-backs’ at the border, to the regulation of euthanasia, the minimum living income, underage girls’ access to aborti...
The Temporal Dimension of Justice
Should historical injustices always be repaired? Upon scrutinising public institutions and present holdings, it becomes evident that many are partially the result of past injustices. Consequently, the imperative to rectify and repair historical injustices emerges. However, as circumstances change over time and these changes affect justice, the argument for repairing historical injustices becomes more intricate. The distributive and reparative aspects of justice may be in tension with each other. Possible tensions between these aspects of justice are assessed by discussing the thesis about the supersession of historical injustices. Different facets of the supersession thesis are evaluated in ...

Exploring the Province of Legislation
Legisprudence considers a variety of perspectives and relies on contributions from numerous different disciplines. Rather than providing examples of the various possible approaches to legisprudential studies, this book – bringing together lawyers and legal theorists from seven different countries – highlights two aspects of the many disciplines involved. Firstly, it discusses theoretical abstraction, which borders on, or enters into the realm of full-fledged philosophical speculation. Secondly, it examines empirical observation of specific cases, precisely situated regarding their spatial or historical collocation, or referring to a particular species of legislative policy. Focusing on l...
Contact Strategies
Around the year 1800, independent Native groups still effectively controlled about half the territory of the Americas. How did they maintain their political autonomy and territorial sovereignty, hundreds of years after the arrival of Europeans? In a study that spans the eighteenth to twentieth centuries and ranges across the vast interior of South America, Heather F. Roller examines this history of power and persistence from the vantage point of autonomous Native peoples in Brazil. The central argument of the book is that Indigenous groups took the initiative in their contacts with Brazilian society. Rather than fleeing or evading contact, Native peoples actively sought to appropriate what w...
The Economics of Art and Culture

La seguridad jurídica. Una teoría multidisciplinaria aplicada a las instituciones. Vol. II
Este es el segundo tomo de la tesis de Gómez Lee que obtuvo calificación sobresaliente summa cum laude. En ella se plantea una pregunte central: ¿Cómo puede llegar a aplicarse la seguridad jurídica en la investigación de las instituciones y los sistemas normativos? La respuesta se construye con un nuevo enfoque multidisciplinario. Para juristas e investigadores se destaca que "Abordar las instituciones en lo no formal es indispensable. Hay un riesgo de formalismo cuando Ja seguridad jurídica se analiza solo desde las reglas aprobadas previamente por órganos legitimados. La realidad es distinta, y la cultura jurídica y las prácticas marcan los derroteros del verdadero derecho." Como lo destaca en el prólogo su director Sierra Porto: "Este es la composición lógica de una persona que actúa con espíritu critico, que aporta conocimientos profundos y reflexiones".
