This book features a discussion on the modernisation of law and legal change, focusing on the key concepts of innovation" and "transition". These concepts both appear to be relevant and poorly defined in contemporary legal science. A critical reflection on the heuristic value of these categories seems appropriate, particularly considering their dyadic value. While innovation is increasingly appearing in the present day as being the category in which one looks at the modernisation of law, the concept of transition also seems to be the privileged place of occurrence for such dynamics. This group of Italian and Brazilian scholars contributing to this volume intends to investigate such problems through an interdisciplinary prism. It includes points of view both internal to legal studies - such as the history of law, theory of law, constitutional law, private law and commercial law - and external, such as political philosophy and history of justice and political institutions.

The collection of essays presented here examines the links forged through the ages between the realm of law and the expressions of the humanistic culture.We collected thirty-five essays by international scholars and organized them into sections of ten chapters based around ten different themes. Two main perspectives emerged: in some articles the topic relates to the conventional approach of law and/in humanities (iconography, literature, architecture, cinema, music), other articles are about more traditional connections between fields of knowledge (in particular, philosophy, political experiences, didactics).We decided not to confine authors to one particular methodological framework, prefer...
La presente tesis doctoral pretende interpretar la evolución del régimen político liberal en la época isabelina partiendo de la transformación de las instituciones del Antiguo Régimen hasta llegar al liberalismo. También trata de desvelar las relaciones existentes entre los sustentadores del poder económico y los cargos políticos que ocupan a nivel local y provincial. Asimismo, se estudian las leyes y reglamentos electorales que influyen en la creación de los censos y distritos electorales provinciales. Se analizan las fuerzas políticas que intervienen —directa o indirectamente— en la lucha electoral: moderados, progresistas, unionistas y carlistas, así como las elecciones celebradas en este periodo. Y, por último, se hace un estudio sobre las familias políticas que influyeron a nivel local, provincial y nacional.
