The "European Yearbook" promotes the scientific study of nineteen European supranational organisations, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Each volume contains a detailed survey of the history, structure and yearly activities of each organisation and an up-to-date chart providing a clear overview of the member states of each organisation. In addition, a number of articles on topics of general interest are included in each volume. A general index by subject and name, and a cumulative index of all the articles which have appeared in the "Yearbook," are included in every volume and provide direct access to the "Yearbook"'s subject matter. Each volume contains a comprehensive bibliography covering the year's relevant publications. This is an indispensable work of reference for anyone dealing with the European institutions.
Particularly in the humanities and social sciences, festschrifts are a popular forum for discussion. The IJBF provides quick and easy general access to these important resources for scholars and students. The festschrifts are located in state and regional libraries and their bibliographic details are recorded. Since 1983, more than 639,000 articles from more than 29,500 festschrifts, published between 1977 and 2010, have been catalogued.
Rationalizing Parliament examines how institutional arrangements in the French Constitution shape the bargaining strategies of political parties. Professor Huber investigates the decision by French elites to include in the Constitution legislative procedures intended to "rationalize" the policy-making role of parliament and analyzes the impact of these procedures on policy outcomes, cabinet stability, and political accountability. Through its use of theories developed in the American politics literature, the study reveals important similarities between legislative politics in the United States and in parliamentary systems and the shortcomings in conventional interpretations of French institutional arrangements.
Emphasizes the role history and historical narratives play in constitutional adjudication. Uitz provocatively draws attention to the often-tense relationship between the constitution and historical precedence highlighting the interpretive and normative nature of the law. Her work seeks to understand the conditions under which references to the past, history and traditions are attractive to lawyers, even they have the potential of perpetuating indeterminacy in constitutional reasoning. Uitz conclusively argues that this constitutional indeterminacy is obscured by 'judicial rhetorical toolkits' of continuity and reconciliation that allow the court's reliance on the past to be unaccounted for. Uitz's rigorous analysis and extensive research makes this work an asset to legal scholars and practitioners alike. The inquiry in this volume hopes to attract observers of constitutional adjudication, may they be reading constitutional jurisprudence from the quarters of constitutional law, constitutional history, political science or history departments.

« Les gouvernants et en particulier les auteurs de la Constitution ont le devoir de donner aux rapports entre l’administration et les citoyens un cadre clair et précis. Le respect de la règle dépend d’abord de sa clarté et l’imprécision des devoirs entraîne le risque d’arbitraire. Or, chacun le ressent, la France a vécu depuis 1875 dans le flou constitutionnel le plus total. À l’heure actuelle, après neuf années de cohabitations, les droits respectifs du chef de l’État et du Premier ministre paraissent aux yeux des Français totalement flous. À qui appartient le pouvoir de décision ? Personne ne le sait très bien. Cette imprécision ne se limite pas aux seuls rapports entre les deux têtes de l’exécutif. Elle s’étend aux pouvoirs législatif et judiciaire. Notre république est donc celle du flou. » D. A. Daniel Amson est avocat au barreau de Paris et professeur à l’université Lille-II. Il est notamment l’auteur de La Cohabitation en France, Adolphe Crémieux, l’oublié de la gloire, De Gaulle et Israël, Gambetta, le rêve brisé ou encore Poincaré, l’acharné de la politique

RESUMO A presente dissertação é composta por duas partes. A primeira passa em revista as mais relevantes abordagens filosóficas sobre a distribuição justa de bens que se foram afirmando ao longo da História; a sua selecção e estudo teve em vista identificar aquelas que exercem maior influência sobre o debate contemporâneo sobre a despesa pública, e em que medida contribuem para o mesmo. A segunda parte situa-se no plano da discussão jurídico-constitucional sobre a despesa pública, em Portugal. Ela começa por evidenciar um aparente alheamento do texto constitucional relativamente ao tema da Justiça na despesa pública. Dá também nota da medida em que a recepção dos crité...
