Rule of Law, Human Rights and Judicial Control of Power
Judicial control of public power ensures a guarantee of the rule of law. This book addresses the scope and limits of judicial control at the national level, i.e. the control of public authorities, and at the supranational level, i.e. the control of States. It explores the risk of judicial review leading to judicial activism that can threaten the principle of the separation of powers or the legitimate exercise of state powers. It analyzes how national and supranational legal systems have embodied certain mechanisms, such as the principles of reasonableness, proportionality, deference and margin of appreciation, as well as the horizontal effects of human rights that help to determine how far a...
Tolerance Through Law
The autonomous province of South Tyrol in Northern Italy is generally considered to be one of the most successful examples for the solution of ethnic conflicts. This book gives an analysis of the evolution of the legal instruments and institutions of self-government and minority protection through power-sharing as well as of the experience gathered during decades of the implementation of a "working economy." It thus provides insights regarding the state and the evolution of this specific case as well as for the general tendencies in the development of territorial autonomy and minority protection.
Justicia constitucional, derechos fundamentales y tutela judicial
Los ensayos que conforman este volumen tienen como premisa la convicción que los derechos fundamentales deben su significado al grado de eficacia con el que cuenta su protección por el ordenamiento. Resulta, por ello, del todo evidente que están privadas de valor las afirmaciones, incluso a nivel formal, de principios y derechos fundamentales, cuando ellos mismos no puedan ser ejercidos en forma pronta y eficaz, en la hipótesis de su vulneración. La función de tutelar los derechos viene atribuida a los jueces, constitucionales o comunes, los cuales en la realidad han mostrado con claridad que pueden hacer mucho más, pues inciden también sobre la identificación de los derechos y la determinación de su real contenido. Al respecto se dice que la actividad "creadora" de los jueces pone en riesgo la función del poder legislativo al invadirla, y produce más bien un problema de límites a la función interpretativa de los propios jueces y de su legitimidad democrática en el sistema constitucional.

The Internet and Constitutional Law
This book analyses emerging constitutional principles addressing the regulation of the internet at both the national and the supranational level. These principles have arisen from cases involving the protection of fundamental rights. This is the reason why the book explores the topic thorough the lens of constitutional adjudication, developing an analysis of Courts’ argumentation. The volume examines the gradual consolidation of a "constitutional core" of internet law at the supranational level. It addresses the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union case law, before going on to explore Constitutional or Supreme Courts’ decisions in individual jurisdictions in Europe and the US. The contributions to the volume discuss the possibility of the "constitutionalization" of internet law, calling into question the thesis of the so-called anarchic nature of the internet.
New Challenges to the Separation of Powers
This insightful book guides readers through the transformation of, and theoretical challenges posed by, the separation of powers in national contexts. Building on the notion that the traditional tripartite structure of the separation of powers has undergone a significant process of fragmentation and expansion, this book identifies and illustrates the most pressing and intriguing aspects of the separation of powers in contemporary constitutional systems.
The Max Planck Handbooks in European Public Law
The Max Planck Handbooks in European Public Law describe and analyse public law of the European legal space, an area that encompasses not only the law of the European Union but also the European Convention on Human Rights and, importantly, the domestic public laws of European states. Recognizing that the ongoing vertical and horizontal processes of European integration make legal comparison the task of our time for both scholars and practitioners, the series aims to foster the development of a specifically European legal pluralism and to contribute to the legitimacy and efficiency of European public law. The first volume of the series began this enterprise with an appraisal of the evolution ...
