The proportionality test, as proposed in Robert Alexy’s principles theory, is becoming commonplace in comparative constitutional studies. And yet, the question “are courts justified in borrowing proportionality?” has not been expressly put in many countries where judicial borrowings are a reality. This book sheds light on this question and examines the circumstances under which courts are authorized to borrow from alien legal sources to rule on constitutional cases. Taking the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil – and its enthusiastic recourse to proportionality when interpreting the Federal Constitution – as a case study, the book investigates the normative reasons that could justify ...
Mit dem Beginn der Elektrifizierung deutscher Stadte zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts geriet die rechtliche Einordnung der Elektrizitat zu einem drangenden Problem. Im Fokus standen die umstrittene Strafbarkeit der Elektrizitatsentziehung sowie die Fragen nach der Erforderlichkeit von Eigentumsrechten an Elektrizitat und dem angemessenen Vertragstypus von Versorgungsvertragen. Welches Verstandnis von Korperlichkeit lag den juristischen Sachbegriffen zugrunde? War Elektrizitat etwas Korperliches? Sollte aus dem Konzept der Energie ein volliger Umbau der Eigentumsrechte und des strafrechtlichen Rechtsguterschutzes folgen? Jan Hovermann untersucht den juristischen Diskurs uber die Elektrizitat aus methoden- und wissensgeschichtlichen Perspektiven. Dabei analysiert er, wie Juristen naturwissenschaftliches Wissen in einen rechtlichen Kontext ubersetzten und den Grad der Autonomie des Rechtssystems zu fremden Wissensdisziplinen bestimmten.
As situações jurídicas patrimoniais, desde os direitos às próprias obrigações, reportam-se a coisas, isto é, a realidades exteriores não personalizadas. Elas constituem o grande paradigma dos valores cuja atribuição é legitimada pelo Direito. Estão hoje em causa, além dos objetos materiais, o domínio público, a energia, as empresas e os animais, cujo novo estatuto, aprovado pela Lei n.o 8/2017, de 3 de março, deve ser estudado.

How can power over others be transformed to ‘power with’? It is possible to transform many institutions to build societies with less predation and more freedom. These stretch from families and institutions of gender to the United Nations. Some societies, times and places have crime rates a hundred times higher than others. Some police forces kill at a hundred times the rate of others. Some criminal corporations kill thousands more than others. Micro variables fail to explain these patterns. Prevention principles for that challenge are macrocriminological. Freedom is conceived in a republican way as non-domination. Tempering domination prevents crime; crime prevention reduces domination. ...
