Handbook of Latin American Studies, Vol. 61
"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field.

Exclusion from Public Space
Hardly known twenty years ago, exclusion from public space has today become a standard tool of state intervention. Every year, tens of thousands of homeless individuals, drug addicts, teenagers, protesters and others are banned from parts of public space. The rise of exclusion measures is characteristic of two broader developments that have profoundly transformed public space in recent years: the privatisation of public space, and its increased control in the 'security society'. Despite the fundamental problems it raises, exclusion from public space has received hardly any attention from legal scholars. This book addresses this gap and comprehensively explores the implications that this new form of intervention has for the constitutional essentials of liberal democracy: the rule of law, fundamental rights, and democracy. To do so, it analyses legal developments in three liberal democracies that have been at the forefront of promoting exclusion measures: the United Kingdom, the United States, and Switzerland.
La vraie dureté du mental : Hockey et philosophie
Le hockey permet-il de mieux saisir les différences entre nationalismes québécois et canadien? Quels liens profonds unissent l'aréna de hockey et l'arène politique? En quoi l'abolition des matchs nuls est-elle une immense perte pour nos sociétés? Les salaires versés aux hockeyeurs sont-ils vraiment scandaleux? Le hockey serait-il plus un art qu'un sport? Pourquoi vouloir à tout prix interdire aux hockeyeurs l'utilisation de drogues performantes? Les gardiens de but sont-ils tous de grands angoissés? Existe-t-il une mythologie et une métaphysique propres à notre sport national? Les bagarres au hockey reflètent-elles plus qu'on ne voudrait l'admettre notre vraie nature humaine? Et...
Die Nichtigkeit im öffentlichen Recht
Über die Nichtigkeit von (Staats-)Akten, die auf Rechtswirkungen gerichtet sind, wurde im schweizerischen Verwaltungsrecht bislang anhand der Evidenztheorie entschieden. Diese Arbeit stellt der Evidenztheorie den verfassungsunmittelbaren Nichtigkeitsbegriff entgegen, der das Konzept der Nichtigkeit dogmatisch neu verortet und im Legalitätsprinzip verfassungsrechtlich verankert. Für die Befugnis einer rechtsanwendenden Behörde, die Nichtigkeit eines Rechtsakts festzustellen, wird der Begriff der Nichtigkeitskognition eingeführt. Die Arbeit bespricht die verfahrensrechtlichen Bahnen, in denen die Nichtigkeitskognition ausgeübt werden kann. Nebst dem neuen dogmatischen Fundament der Nichtigkeit stellt sie ein Prüfschema zur Verfügung, das zu voraussehbareren Entscheiden und damit zur Rechtssicherheit beitragen soll.
Nachhaltige Entwicklung und Demokratie
English summary: Based on a concept of sustained development in three-dimensions (ecology, economy and social welfare), Andreas Glaser studies the substantive situation in constitutional law and the institutional development of the political decision-making process as well as the new Swiss federal constitution, which has been in effect since 2000, and the German Basic Law. In each case, he focuses on the protection of natural resources, retirement insurance and the national debt, all of which are particularly important for the model of sustained development. One of the main explanatory approaches in the book is the difference between direct democracy, in which according to the Swiss constitu...
