Applying an innovative approach to capture varieties and dynamics of federal democracies, this collection examines the conditions, mechanisms and practices that make federal democracies work.
This book is a systematic commentary on half a century of case law on the Convention system made by a group of legal experts from various universities and legal disciplines. It provides a guide of the rights protected under ECHR as well as a better understanding, open to supranational scenarios, of fundamental rights in the respective Constitutions. Our intention is not only to make available a mere case law commentary. This work indeed offers succinct information on the most consolidated lines of case law and this is probably where it is most useful. Nevertheless there is also academic reflection, which we believe is nowadays essential as Europe is becoming more than a continent: it is, above all, a civilisation, with a common language of rights, a developing ius commune.
Many Europeans struggle to understand where EU-centred Europeanization has led them. The standard response - that their situation is sui generis, one of a kind - no longer holds. Brexit, conflicts over European financial transfers, immigration, or dubious judicial reforms in some Member States demand a more substantial answer. Against that background, The Emergence of European Society Through Public Law: A Hegelian and Anti-Schmittian Approach frames European integration by reconstructing European public law in light of Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). According to Article 2, all Europeans today are part of one society. European integration may not have produced a European fe...
Legislative debates make democracy and representation work. Political actors engage in legislative debates to make their voice heard to voters. Parties use debates to shore up their brand. This book makes the most comprehensive study of legislative debates thus far, looking at the politics of legislative debates in 33 liberal democracies in Europe, North America and Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The book begins with theoretical chapters focused on the key concepts in the study of legislative debates. Michael Laver, Slapin and Proksch, and Taylor examine the politics of legislative debates in parliamentary and presidential democracies. Subsequently, Goplerud makes a critical revie...
In Consensus-Based Interpretation of Regional Human Rights Treaties Francisco Pascual-Vives examines the central role played by the notion of consensus in the case law of the European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights. As many other international courts and tribunals do, both regional human rights courts resort to this concept while undertaking an evolutive interpretation of the Rome Convention and the Pact of San José, respectively. The role exerted by the notion of consensus in this framework can be used not only to understand the evolving character of the rights and freedoms recognized by these international treaties, but also to reaffirm the international nature of these regional human rights courts.
El 28 de abril de 2004 la Comisión Europea presentó una propuesta de Decisión marco, sobre determinados derechos procesales en los procesos penales celebrados en la Unión Europea, que debería haber sido adoptada a finales de 2005{ sin embargo, años después, la propuesta aún continúa siendo objeto de agrias discusiones.De ahí la importancia de esta obra colectiva realizada por un gran elenco de autores -de acuerdo a un criterio interdisciplinar- que ha permitido reunir a cualificados representantes de la Academia y de los diversos sectores profesionales implicados{ todo ello, desde un enfoque comprensivo que presta una especial atención no sólo a los contenidos de la propuesta de ...
Colombia es formalmente un Estado laico porque así lo ha establecido la Corte Constitucional. Sin embargo, el modelo de laicidad creado por ese tribunal se asemeja más a un modelo de pluriconfesionalidad. Lo anterior porque existen varias disposiciones constitucionales que valoran positivamente el fenómeno religioso. Igualmente, porque la mayoría de las prerrogativas y los beneficios de los que gozaba la antigua organización religiosa oficial no desapareció con la entrada en vigor de la nueva carta política. Estos por regla general, se extendieron a las demás organizaciones religiosas que lo han solicitado. Este particular modelo tiene varias fisuras que lo alejan de los presupuestos...
