Racial Justice, Policies and Courts' Legal Reasoning in Europe
This volume looks at how courts and the police handle racial discrimination in Europe. The chapters show that beyond legal technique, neither the legislators nor the judges escape from their own emotions when responding to racial discrimination. But, as the authors point out, emotions are not always negative. They can also help in a positive way in judicial interpretation. The study profiles five countries: Germany, UK, Estonia, Portugal and Spain. Each of these belong both to the European Union and to the Council of Europe. Coverage examines the responsibility of the public powers, more specifically of the legislative and judicial power, both of the police and of the judiciary, in persecuting racist behavior. In addition, the authors also consider the increase in racism in groups of citizens. The authors argue that racial justice is a proactive reinforcement of policies, practices, attitudes and actions that lead to equal access to opportunities for all. After reading this book, readers will gain a better understanding of the reasoning of legislators, police and judges when dealing with racial discrimination in Europe today.
Comparative Constitutional History
Constitutions are a product of history, but what is the role of history in interpreting and applying constitutional provisions? This volume addresses that question from a comparative perspective, examining different uses of history by courts in determining constitutional meaning. The book shows that there is considerable debate around the role of history in constitutional adjudication. Are, for example, historical public debates over the adoption of a constitution relevant to reading its provisions today? If a constitution represents a break from a prior repressive regime, should courts construe the constitution’s provisions in light of that background? Are former constitutions relevant to interpreting a new constitution? Through an assessment of current practices the volume offers some lessons for the future practices of courts as they adjudicate constitutional cases. Contributors are: Mark D. Rosen, Jorge M. Farinacci-Fernós, Justin Collings, Jean-Christophe Bédard-Rubin, Cem Tecimer, Ángel Aday Jiménez Alemán, Ana Beatriz Robalinho, Keigo Obayashi, Zoltán Szente, Shih-An Wang, and Diego Werneck Arguelhes.

DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL DE REUNIÃO E MANIFESTAÇÕES POPULARES
Tendo como ponto de partida o pressuposto de que as reflexões jurídicas devem alicerçar a solução de problemas concretos e contribuir para a efetivação dos direitos fundamentais, a obra dedica-se ao estudo do direito fundamental de reunião e à possibilidade da previsão de restrições legais ao seu exercício. Assegurar o exercício da liberdade de reunião é uma exigência democrática e se impõe como inegável dever estatal. O direito de reunião é um dos mais importantes instrumentos de participação popular no seio das democracias e o seu percursso está umbilicalmente associado à afirmação histórica dos direitos humanos. De outro lado, não se pode olvidar que também ...
