Understanding Integration in the Roman World
Integration is a buzzword in the 21st century. However, academics still do not agree on its meaning and, above all, on its consequences. This book offers numerous examples showing that the inhabitants of the Roman Mediterranean were “integrated”, i.e. were aware of the existence of a common framework of coexistence, without this necessarily resulting in a process of cultural convergence. For instance, the Spanish poet Martial explicitly refused to be considered the brother of the Greek Charmenion (10.65): paradoxically, while reaffirming their differences, his satirical epigram confirms the existence of a common frame of reference that encompassed them both. Understanding integration in the Roman world requires paying attention to the complex and varied responses to diversity in Roman times.
Polycentric Governance and the Good Society
Polycentric Governance and the Good Society: A Normative and Philosophical Investigation offers an examination of the idea of polycentric governance as one of the pillars of a flourishing human society. Rather than following the conventional path of suppressing complexity and diversity for the sake of reaching agreement on justice and political stability, David Thunder and Pablo Paniagua see complexity and diversity as assets that should be leveraged to make the "Open Society" a more prosperous, resilient, and flourishing place to live. Polycentric Governance and the Good Society provides valuable food for thought for academics and students looking for a probing, cross-disciplinary discussio...

Derecho, persona y ciudadanía
La ciudadanía es un concepto jurídico abierto, es decir, en formación. Podría decirse que ese dinamismo respecto a su contenido le es natural desde su origen en la Antigüedad clásica. En Roma se configura la ciudadanía como la cualidad de quien vive -y por tanto participa- de las decisiones de un ente distinto del individuo creado para el gobierno de los asuntos comunes a todos. Sólo se es ciudadano respecto a una organización política, como la civitas romana, el Estado moderno o instituciones supranacionales emergentes como la Unión Europea. Por otra parte, el Derecho de personas no puede separarse de la ordenación colectiva de la convivencia, por lo que no cabe aislar la condic...
La proyección del Derecho romano en los textos y en la ciencia jurídica universal
El Corpus Iuris Civilis y las fuentes jurídicas romanas en general, fueron y son determinantes en la formación del Derecho de muchos Estados actuales, es sobradamente conocida su influencia en los ordenamientos jurídicos de la casi totalidad de países europeos, prácticamente en todos los países Latinoamericanos, así como en otros muchos: Japón, Sudáfrica o la India. Es más, fuera de ser considerado un mero Derecho histórico, el Derecho romano tiene vigencia aún en los principios jurídicos de la Europa actual, como lo reiteran las más recientes novedades entre las que destaca el código de obligaciones europeo o el ámbito del Derecho de sucesiones. Por ello, la investigación r...

Nationality Law in the Western Hemisphere
In Nationality Law in the Western Hemisphere, Olivier Vonk provides the first comprehensive overview in English of the grounds for acquisition and loss of citizenship in the thirty-five independent countries in the Americas and the Caribbean. Employing a typology developed by the European Union Democracy Observatory on Citizenship, he convincingly shows that different nationality laws can be compared by using a systematic analytical grid. The individual country chapters additionally pay due regard to issues such as dual citizenship and statelessness, and include thorough historical observations as well as extensive bibliographical references for each state. Nationality Law in the Western Hemisphere allows academics, practitioners, governments and international organizations to assess nationality legislation beyond a purely national context.
