Global Climate Constitutionalism “from below”
Global climate constitutionalism is seen as a possible legal answer to the social and political unwillingness of states to effectively tackle climate change as a global problem. The constitutionalisation of international climate law is supposed to ensure greater participation of non-state actors such as NGOs or individuals and a rollback of state sovereignty where states do not care about meeting their climate commitments. This book addresses the question of whether non-state actors such as NGOs or individuals create international climate law through so-called climate change litigation. Against the background of Peter Häberle's theory of the “open society of constitutional interpreters”, four selected cases (Urgenda v Netherlands, Leghari v Pakistan, Juliana v United States of America, Future Generations v Colombia) are used to examine how actors not formally recognized as subjects of international law (re)interpret national and international law and thereby contribute to the constitutionalisation of the international climate law regime.
The Rule of Law in Cyberspace
The rule of law in cyberspace currently faces serious challenges. From the democratic system to the exercise of fundamental rights, the Internet has raised a host of new issues for classic legal institutions. This book provides a valuable contribution to the fields of international, constitutional and administrative law scholarship as the three interact in cyberspace. The respective chapters cover topics such as the notion of digital states and digital sovereignty, jurisdiction over the Internet, e-government, and artificial intelligence. The authors are eminent scholars and international experts with a profound knowledge of these topics. Particular attention is paid to the areas of digital ...
The Political Dimension of Constitutional Law
This book discusses in what sense constitutional law has a political dimension, raising the question whether constitutional law is fundamentally political as to its validity, terms of its origin, conceptual structure and/or corresponding practice. It also poses the question whether that dimension is a political-theological dimension. A positive answer to these questions challenges the prevailing view that constitutional law is to be conceived strictly as law, moreover as written law, approved at a certain point in history by a particular power and interpreted as any other law by the judiciary. The essays included in this book, written by leading scholars in constitutional theory – including Martin Loughlin, Paul Kahn, Manon Altwegg-Boussac and Massimo La Torre – address these questions in a timely and original way.

The Latin American space sector is currently undergoing a phase of rapid and dynamic expansion, with new actors entering the field and with space applications increasingly being used to support the continent’s social, economic, and political development. All across Latin America, attention is shifting to...
Comparing the Prospective Effect of Judicial Rulings Across Jurisdictions
This work deals with the temporal effect of judicial decisions and more specifically, with the hardship caused by the retroactive operation of overruling decisions. By means of a jurisprudential and comparative analysis, the book explores several issues created by the overruling of earlier decisions. Overruling of earlier decisions, when it occurs, operates retrospectively with the effect that it infringes the principle of legal certainty through upsetting any previous arrangements made by a party to a case under long standing precedents established previously by the courts. On this account, in the recent past, a number of jurisdictions have had to deal with the prospect of introducing in th...

Jurisdição Constitucional como Representação Argumentativa
Este livro tem por objeto o problema da legitimidade democrática da jurisdição constitucional. Na tentativa de solucionar esse problema, o jusfilósofo alemão Robert Alexy criou a noção de "representação argumentativa", de acordo com a qual a corte constitucional é, assim como o parlamento, um fórum de representação do cidadão. Esta, todavia, corresponde a uma representação puramente argumentativa, que não está baseada em eleições, ao contrário da representação política, que encontra sua expressão no parlamento. Em uma análise superficial, esse conceito suscita questionamentos evidentes. Seria possível dilatar de tal forma a noção de representação? Não seria um...
Processo Constitucional Brasileiro
O Observatório Constitucional (IDP), como espaço aberto de reflexão crítica sobre o Direito Constitucional, apresenta esta obra coletiva com propostas para a reforma legislativa do processo constitucional brasileiro. Os estudos aqui reunidos são guiados por duas diretrizes fundamentais para a reforma do processo constitucional (as quais constituem as duas partes temáticas da obra). A primeira é a correspondência da legislação à necessária autonomia desse ramo processual. A segunda leva em conta a necessidade atual de maior sistematização dos procedimentos e das técnicas de decisão das diversas ações constitucionais. Espera-se com isso oferecer contribuição abrangente sobre os principais tópicos que devem ser enfrentados na reforma do processo constitucional no Brasil.
