Over the past decades, an increasingly influential Political Philosophy approach has been seen to defend issues relating to cultural injustices. The daily struggles arising from political agendas within different societies confirm this. This perspective can be summarised using the Hegelian expression “struggle for recognition”, and it is this expression that underpins the current position of minorities members and their defenders. This means that misrecognition, disrespect, and humiliation form the base of (cultural) injustices and must be avoided. Minorities are a fundamental part of democratic societies, but their rights have not always been respected. Inmigrants are currently the obje...

Wage-Earning Slaves is the first systematic study of coartación, a process by which slaves worked toward purchasing their freedom in installments, long recognized as a distinctive feature of certain areas under Spanish colonial rule in the nineteenth century. Focusing on Cuba, this book reveals that instead of providing a “path to manumission,” the process was often rife with obstacles that blocked slaves from achieving liberty. Claudia Varella and Manuel Barcia trace the evolution of coartación in the context of urban and rural settings, documenting the lived experiences of slaves through primary sources from many different archives. They show that slave owners grew increasingly intol...
What this book intends to do is to study three-dimensionalism (the distinction values-norms-facts) not in what could be called its historical dimension, but in its substantive aspect, as a “form” that, when applied to different legal themes, would add a “material content” to the three-dimensional theory. We can point out, as a study plan, the distinction between “three” perspectives: Those of the legal norm, of the legal order, and the legal relationship. Three-dimensionalism also appears in this work when one analyzes the “three” phases of the life of the law: The formation, the interpretation, and the application; and in the distinction between the “three” characteristics of the legal order: Fullness, coherence, and unity—the theory of legal validity, intended as legitimacy, as validity strictly speaking, or as effectiveness.
We are publishing this book as the result of a research project carried out by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain and AFM Krakow University in Poland. Some parts of it were already announced during a scientific Conference organised remotely in Kraków in October 2020. It is now time to present the research findings in writing.The issue of Artificial Intelligence has long raised questions and interests, including those of legal science. A number of problems have not yet been widely analysed, despite the fact that the present time is undoubtedly a time of technological challenges. Therefore, in the presented publication, prepared by the international scientific community, un...
A atual crise da sensibilidade dos direitos fundamentais torna prudente questionar o direito de propriedade como um direito fundamental no Brasil, pois cabe ao direito se adequar a realidade da sociedade que o produz e que também o acata. Esta obra verifica os direitos fundamentais, bem como aborda o direito de propriedade (que não pode ser confundido com função social da propriedade) e examina duas teorias que versam sobre a propriedade na órbita dos direitos fundamentais, uma elaborada por Luigi Ferrajoli e outra concebida por Gregorio Peces-Barba Martínez. Este livro, que é uma adaptação da dissertação de Mestrado em Direito apresentada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direit...
En el debate constitucional respecto a la eficacia de los derechos y bienes constitucionales, la pregunta relativa a los límites del efecto protector de los derechos ha sido siempre un tema central para la dogmática de los derechos fundamentales. Esto es común en las democracias constitucionales, en las cuales se entremezclan fuerzas económicas, religiosas, políticas y sociales que pueden equipararse con el poder del Estado. Gracias a estas nuevas dinámicas resurge siempre la cuestión en tomo a la figura dogmática conocida como Drittwirkung. La Drittwirkung o "efecto horizontal de los derechos fundamentales" ha despertado continuamente acaloradas discusiones dentro de la doctrina y l...
