This book explores the range of meanings attributed to the terms ‘judicial activism’ and ‘populism’ in contemporary times and examines the potential interplay between these two phenomena. Drawing upon various political examples, it discusses the implication of populist movements for democratic institutions, policies, and processes. The chapters in this volume examine the impact of populism on judicial decision-making in various socio-cultural contexts. The contributing authors explore the implications of populist beliefs, including those which promote anti-democratic perspectives, on the integrity, independence, and the role of the judiciary in a democratic society. This volume offers unique international perspectives on the concern that populist initiatives may be and continue to be a threat to democratic foundational values and principles. Judicial Activism in an Age of Populism will be a beneficial read for students of Politics, Sociology, Public Administration and Management, and Law and Society. It was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.

Intestate Succession is the second volume in the Comparative Succession Law series which examines the principles of succession law from a comparative and historical perspective.

"¿Por qué un libro entero sobre la sucesión? La sucesión mortis causa regula la atribución de bienes después de la muerte. La disciplina de sucesión satisface así dos intereses complementarios: – El interés privado del difunto en cuanto a disponer de sus bienes por el tiempo que deja de vivir, y – El interés público del Estado de que, tras la muerte del sujeto, los activos no se conviertan en res nullius. Desde que el mundo es mundo, el hombre ha tenido la aspiración ilusoria de dejar algo de sí mismo más allá de la muerte, deshacerse de los bienes y dictar disposiciones, como si todo esto sirviera para dejar un profundo rastro en las generaciones venideras. Por otro lado,...
