The Conscience Wars
Explores the multifaceted debate on the interconnection between conscientious objections, religious liberty, and the equality of women and sexual minorities.
Constitutional Public Reason
Public reason, which urges that only laws based on principles reasonably agreeable to all those bound by them are legitimate, has rarely been applied to constitutional law, and never in a comparative way. This book aspires to fill that gap, by studying the use of public reason in different constitutional systems. In doing so, it studies public reason both as a normative idea - as a principle postulated for democratic constitutionalism, and as a descriptive account - as helping to understand many important doctrines in constitutional adjudication of some leading constitutional courts around the world, and also in the supranational sphere. Constitutional Public Reason questions the performance...
Twenty-First-Century Feminismos
The women’s movement is a central, complex, and evolving socio-political actor in any national context. Vital to advancing gender equity and gendered relations in every contemporary society, the organization and mobilization of women into social movements challenges patriarchal values, behaviours, laws, and policies through collective action and contention, radically altering the direction of society over time. Twenty-First-Century Feminismos examines ten case studies from eight different countries in Latin America and the Caribbean to better understand the ways in which women’s and feminist movements react to, are shaped by, and advance social change. A closer look at women’s movement...
Por una justicia dialógica
En las sociedades democráticas, es muy común que un tribunal revise los contenidos de una ley para determinar si es válida o no a la luz de lo que exige la Constitución. Esta situación plantea al menos tres preguntas de enorme relevancia pública: ¿por qué son los jueces, y no los legisladores como representantes del pueblo, quienes quedan a cargo de la tarea de interpretación constitucional? ¿Es aceptable que los jueces asuman el derecho a pronunciar la "última palabra" respecto de cómo resolver los problemas constitucionales más básicos? ¿Por qué hemos adoptado un sistema institucional tan rígido, en el que las relaciones entre los poderes se traducen en un esquema de todo ...

Gênero, neoconservadorismo e democracia
Fruto de uma investigação transnacional realizada no decorrer de 2018 e 2019 e de um profícuo diálogo envolvendo as duas autoras e o autor, esta obra analisa as relações entre gênero, religião, direitos e democracia na América Latina. Com o fim da chamada "onda vermelha" na região, é significativo o aumento da atuação de católicos e evangélicos conservadores na política, com forte reação às políticas de equidade de gênero, direitos LGBTQI e saúde reprodutiva. Flávia Biroli, Maria das Dores Campos Machado e Juan Marco Vaggione destacam o uso, por agentes conservadores, de expressões como "ideologia de gênero", "feminismo radical" e "marxismo cultural" para justificar ...
A Cosmopolitan Legal Order
This book provides an accessible introduction to Kantian constitutional theory and the law and politics of European rights protection. Part I sets out Kant's blueprint for achieving Perpetual Peace, and to the elaboration of a Kantian-congruent model of constitutional justice, both within and beyond the nation state. Part II applies this theoretical framework to explain the gradual constitutionalization of a cosmopolitan legal order a transnational legal system in which justiciable rights are held by individuals; where public officials bear the obligation to fulfil the fundamental rights of all who come within the scope of their jurisdiction; and where domestic and transnational judges super...
Rethinking Food Systems
Taking as a starting point that hunger results from social exclusion and distributional inequities and that lasting, sustainable and just solutions are to be found in changing the structures that underlie our food systems, this book examines how law shapes global food systems and their ongoing transformations. Using detailed case studies, historical mapping and legal analysis, the contributors show how various actors (farmers, civil society groups, government officials, international bodies) use or could use different legal tools (legislative, jurisprudential, norm-setting) on various scales (local, national, regional, global) to achieve structural changes in food systems. Section 1, Institu...
Deference to the Administration in Judicial Review
This book investigates judicial deference to the administration in judicial review, a concept and legal practice that can be found to a greater or lesser degree in every constitutional system. In each system, deference functions differently, because the positioning of the judiciary with regard to the separation of powers, the role of the courts as a mechanism of checks and balances, and the scope of judicial review differ. In addition, the way deference works within the constitutional system itself is complex, multi-faceted and often covert. Although judicial deference to the administration is a topical theme in comparative administrative law, a general examination of national systems is still lacking. As such, a theoretical and empirical review is called for. Accordingly, this book presents national reports from 15 jurisdictions, ranging from Argentina, Canada and the US, to the EU. Constituting the outcome of the 20th General Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law, held in Fukuoka, Japan in July 2018, it offers a valuable and unique resource for the study of comparative administrative law.
