Populism and Contemporary Democracy in Europe
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of populism on the European democratic polity. In the last two decades, European democracies have come under strain amid growing populism. By asserting the superiority of the majority over the law, of direct democracy over representation, and claiming the necessity to defend national sovereignty against foreign interferences, the populist conception of democracy is in stark contrast with the longstanding Western notion of liberal democracy. This volume investigates populist attempts to radically change what Bobbio called the “rules of the game” of democracy from an eminently legal perspective. Weaving together normative and empiri...
Claims for Secession and Federalism
This volume, incorporating the work of scholars from various parts of the globe, taps the wisdom of the Westphalian (and post-Westphalian) world on the use of federalism and secession as tools for managing regional conflicts. The debate has rarely been more important than it is right now, especially in light of recent events in Catalonia, Scotland, Québec and the Sudan - all unique political contexts raising similar questions about how best to balance competing claims for autonomy, interdependence, political voice, and exit. Exploring how various nations have encountered comparable conflicts, some more and some less successfully, the book broadens the perspectives of scholars, government officials, and citizens struggling to resolve sovereignty conflicts with a full appreciation of the underlying principles they represent.
The Ways of Federalism in Western Countries and the Horizons of Territorial Autonomy in Spain
Territorial autonomy in Spain has reached a crossroads. After over thirty years of development, the consensus regarding its appropriateness has started to crumble. The transformation project embodied by the reform of Statute of Catalonia (2006) has failed to achieve its most significant demands. Although the concept of Spain as a Federation is disputed -more within the country than beyond-, the evolution of the Spanish system needs to follow a markedly federalist path. In this perspective, reference models assume critical importance. This edition gathers the works of a broad group of European, American and Spanish experts who analyse the present-day challenges of their respective systems. Th...
The Canadian Contribution to a Comparative Law of Secession
This edited collection gathers together Canadian and non-Canadian scholars to reflect on and celebrate the 20thanniversary of the Quebec Secession Reference, delivered by the Canadian Supreme Court in 1998. It opens withtwo Canadian scholars exchanging thoughts on the legacy of the reference from a domestic perspective as one ofthe most questioned decisions of the Canadian Supreme Court. To follow, non-Canadian scholars discuss theimpact of this reference abroad, reflecting upon its influence in European and non-European contexts (Spain,Scotland, the EU after Brexit, Eastern European Countries, Ethiopia, and Asia). Two final chapters, one by a lawyerand one by a political scientist, explore the democratic theory behind that reference.
Indian Democracy's Paradoxes
We are dealing with a new political form of society whose specificity comes from the articulation between two different traditions. On one side we have the liberal tradition constituted by the rule of law, the defence of human rights and the respect of individual liberty; on the other the democratic tradition whose main ideas are those of equa identity between governing and governed and popular sovereignty. There is no necessary relation between those two distinct traditions but only a contingent historical articulation....Let's not forget that, while we tend today to take the link between liberalism and democracy for granted, their union, far from being a smooth process, was the result of b...
India's Futuristic Democracy - Threats of Constitutional Gaps and Digital Era
India is moving towards becoming an intelligent and industrious nation in the world but unmoving in its installing pillars, political stability and communal conflagration. Every citizen’s welfare is the only way to make the nation great. A nation is built not by one Faith but by all the Faiths together as an integral part of the Nation. On 15th August 2022, we celebrated 75th Year of our Independence that looked decorative than democratic. Former is showmanship and latter is workmanship. Nation’s wealth should make all the sectors healthy. The Constitution defines Constituents or Organs but not the Pillars or the making up the Gaps. The Gaps which our Constitution makers left open was to test the sensibility, prudence and wisdom of the generations to come. The Gaps have the strength to generate orderliness in the democracy. Their ignorance or indifference masked the working of democracy.

Política Exterior de Japón
El presente siglo XXI puede ser catalogado sin duda como el siglo de Asia. El claro giro económico y político hacia la región Asia-Pacífico es una clara manifestación del ascenso imparable de Asia. Este gran continente, que ha permanecido alejado de la realidad española, esconde múltiples variables geopolíticas que explican su evolución pasada, presente y futura. Si bien India y la República Popular de China están acaparando un gran protagonismo en las últimas décadas, cierto es también que Japón simboliza a la perfección el inicio del cambio estratégico hacia Asia, ejemplificado mediante el ascenso japonés a principios del S.XIX y durante todo el siglo XX. En consecuencia, el objetivo de este volumen es potenciar el conocimiento sobre Japón en su vertiente política, cultural y jurídica.
