The Western Codification of Criminal Law
This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.
The Rule of Law in Comparative Perspective
This volume compares the different conceptions of the rule of law that have developed in different legal cultures. It describes the social purposes and practical applications of the rule of law and how it might be improved in the varied circumstances.
History of Trial by Jury in the Spanish Legal System
This work traces the emergence of the jury in 19th-century Spain and its establishment and disappearances throughout 190 years of Spanish history. The text is interdisciplinary, placing the successive Spanish jury laws within a general political and social context. It includes material on the origins of the echevinat and addresses issues not confronted by Spanish or other jurists, and it questions received wisdom.
La historiografía francesa del siglo XX y su acogida en España
Hasta hace poco determinante para la afirmación de una ciencia histórica española autónoma, la influencia de la historiografía francesa ha retrocedido de manera progresiva hasta parecer, a veces, secundaria. La presente obra recoge las contribuciones de historiadores franceses y españoles que han reflexionado conjuntamente sobre la significación de esta impronta francesa. De esta manera, se dibuja una verdadera cartografía de la influencia francesa en España, con sus límites y envites, evocando a toda una comunidad de historiadores, de Febvre a Furet y de Braudel a Vilar. Este libro pretende reflejar una retrospectiva de la historiografía francesa en clave española. Los debates p...
Volume I: The Administrative State
The Max Planck Handbooks in European Public Law series describes and analyses the public law of the European legal space, an area that encompasses not only the law of the European Union but also the European Convention on Human Rights and, importantly, the domestic public laws of European states. Recognizing that the ongoing vertical and horizontal processes of European integration make legal comparison the task of our time for both scholars and practitioners, it aims to foster the development of a specifically European legal pluralism and to contribute to the legitimacy and efficiency of European public law. The first volume of the series begins this enterprise with an appraisal of the evol...

The Old Law of Bizkaia (1452)
In 1452, Bizkaians assembled at the Oak of Gernika and approved the Fuero Viejo de Bizkaia (the Old Law of Bizkaia) one of Europe's most important yet little known medieval legal codes. Its laws encompassed an extraordinary range of individual and collective liberties, anticipating the 18th-century Declarations of Rights contained in the constitutions of the U.S. and France. It was extraordinarily modern in both spirit and letter and attracted the attention and admiration of John Adams and William Wordsworth. Its influence survives to the present day, underpinning Bizkaian and Basque claims to their own political identity within the Spanish state. Distributed for the Center for Basque Studies.
