This book analyses the supposed erosion of the authority of EU law from various perspectives: legislation, jurisprudence of national supreme and constitutional courts, enforcement of Single Market rules, of EMU rules and of the rule of law. It discusses the interdependence between the perceived legitimacy of the European project and respect for the authority of EU law.
One of the most neglected areas of the European integration process is the role that trade union confederations may play after the full establishment of the Economic and Monetary Union. The gradual establishment of the four freedoms enshrined in the Single European Act would require a transformation of the present strategies of trade union confederations toward more flexibility and towards the ability to take part in different levels of the European integration process. Iberian Trade Unionism highlights the emerging patterns of cooperation between national, subnational, and supranational actors and the impact on these different levels. Unlike most literature on the study of democratization a...
What has happened to the European radical left after the collapse of the USSR? How has it reacted, reformed, even revived? This new volume is one of the first to provide an overview of the main developments in contemporary European radical left parties (those defining themselves as to the left of, and not merely on the left of social democracy), which are now an increasingly visible phenomenon in European party politics.

March focuses on key contemporary left part...
Examines the transition to, and consolidation of, democracy in Portugal following the revolutionary events of 1975, during a period of major changes in socioeconomic structure.

The death of a childless, unmarried wealthy Portuguese official, in Brazil, in the late 18th century, initiated a judicial process of inheritance that mobilized a considerable amount of relatives for 13 years (1795-1808). These inheritance files, deposited in the National Archives of Torre do Tombo (Lisbon), provide an extraordinary amount of accurate genealogical information and contain transcripts of parish records that have been lost in the meantime. Furthermore, they provide the correct relationship of individuals that share the same names and could otherwise be mistaken with each other. By cross-referencing these inheritance documents with other documents still available today (i.e. other parish records, the Holy Office records, the Honorific Orders records, Military records and the de genere inquiries), we were able to reconstitute this important family group: its members, their occupations and genealogical information such as births, marriages and deaths.
