Construir la paz en condiciones adversas
No siempre las políticas, leyes y planes de ordenamiento en Colombia se ajustan a las necesidades de un gran número de comunidades que se encuentran en situación de vulnerabilidad frente a la salud, la educación y la seguridad. Ante este panorama, varias comunidades han generado respuestas locales que proponen nuevas formas de entender la organización económica, la sostenibilidad ambiental, y el bienestar territorial, ajustadas a las demandas de espacios inmersos en conflictos económicos, sociales y políticos. Construir la paz en condiciones adversas reúne seis capítulos que reflexionan sobre la satisfacción de los derechos civiles, políticos, territoriales, sociales y económicos en algunas regiones colombianas, a partir de procesos organizativos comunitarios que permiten unir la teoría con la práctica.
Aportes iberoamericanos al derecho internacional:
Es un gusto presentar a la comunidad académica este nuevo libro de investigación que recoge los mejores trabajos de investigación discutidos en el tercer Congreso de Derecho Internacional, organizado anualmente por el Grupo de Investigación en Derecho Internacional de la Facultad de Jurisprudencia de la Universidad del Rosario y sus organizaciones aliadas.

De Anacronismos y Vaticinios: Diagnóstico sobre las relaciones entre el derecho internacional y el derecho interno en Latinoamérica
El libro de anacronismos y vaticinios ofrece un diagnóstico sobre la forma como se conciben en la práctica judicial las relaciones entre el derecho internacional y el derecho interno en diversos ordenamientos de la región. Asi, en la primera parte de esta obra se recopilan diferentes estudios sobre las respuestas que los jueces de Boliva, Perú, Brasil, Guatemala y Argentina han dado a los problemas que resultan de la interacción entre los dos ordenamientos. En el segundo apartado se presenta un diagnóstico detallado en el que se da cuenta de la forma como la Corte Constitucional colombiana ha pretendido enfrentarse a las complejidades que resultan de la relación entre ambas esferas normativas. En esta segunda parte interesa demostrar que pese a la buena fama de nuestro juez constitucional en relación con estos asuntos, éste no nos ofrece respuestas claras a las diversas preguntas en torno a la interacción de estos dos ordenamientos.

The Europeanization of Domestic Legislatures
In ten years 80 per cent of the legislation related to economics, maybe also to taxes and social aff airs, will be of Community origin.” This declaration has been largely quoted, paraphrased and deformed by different authors, creating a persistent myth according to which 80% of the legislative activity of the national legislatures would soon be reduced to the simple transposition of European norms”. This book addresses the topic of the scope and impact of Europeanization on national legislation, as a part of the Europeanization debate which raises normative concerns linked to the “democratic deficit” debate. The state of the art shows that there are many assumptions and claims on how...
Federalism beyond Federations
Since the end of the Second World War, a set of democratic European countries have established a decentralized system of government based on federal or regional patterns. Some of these systems initially displayed an asymmetrical trend, however, some democracies have implemented a subsequent process of re-symmetrization that changes the structure and the legitimization of the previous political agreements. Charting the evolution of decentralization processes and asymmetries implemented in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Ukraine and the United Kingdom, leading international scholars illustrate which countries have evolved more symmetrically, why this is so an...
Constitutional Theory
Carl Schmitt’s magnum opus, Constitutional Theory, was originally published in 1928 and has been in print in German ever since. This volume makes Schmitt’s masterpiece of comparative constitutionalism available to English-language readers for the first time. Schmitt is considered by many to be one of the most original—and, because of his collaboration with the Nazi party, controversial—political thinkers of the twentieth century. In Constitutional Theory, Schmitt provides a highly distinctive and provocative interpretation of the Weimar Constitution. At the center of this interpretation lies his famous argument that the legitimacy of a constitution depends on a sovereign decision of ...
Uniting of Europe
The University of Notre Dame Press is pleased to bring Ernst Haas's classic work on European integration, The Uniting of Europe, back into print. First published in 1958 and last printed in 1968, this seminal volume is the starting point for anyone interested in the pre-history of the European Union. Haas uses the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) as a case study of the community formation processes that occur across traditional national and state boundaries. Haas points to the ECSC as an example of an organization with the "power to redirect the loyalties and expectations of political actors." In this pathbreaking book Haas contends that, based on his observations of the actual integ...
The Golden Yoke
The Golden Yoke is a remarkable achievement. It is the first elaboration of the legal, cultural, and ideological dimensions of precommunist Tibetan jurisprudence, a unique legal system that maintains its secularism within a thoroughly Buddhist setting. Layer by layer, Rebecca Redwood French reconstructs the daily operation of law in Tibet before the Chinese invasion in 1959. In the Tibetans' own words, French identifies their courts, symbols, and personnel and traces the procedures for petitioning and filing documents. There are stories here from judges, legal conciliators, and lay people about murder, property disputes, and divorce. French shows that Tibetan law is deeply embedded in its Bu...
