Ciência Política
A Ciência Política demorou a adquirir foro de cidade no panorama científico nacional. Só a partir da década de 1950 começou a ser ensinada na Universidade, inicialmente de modo complementar ao Direito Constitucional e à Teoria do Estado. Mas o pleno desenvolvimento da Ciência Política requer liberdade de entrar sem constrangimentos nos temas mais delicados do Poder e da política. Em Portugal, só com a Revolução de 25 de abril de 1974 e a Constituição de 1976 isso foi assegurado. Hoje que os avanços da democracia voltam a ser colocados em causa em vastas zonas do Mundo, é altura de se insistir no estudo científico da política. Talvez desse modo se possam tirar conclusões sobre custos e benefícios de soluções alternativas e a Ciência Política consiga contribuir para que a velha aspiração do bom governo triunfe sobre os novos obscurantismos autoritários ou totalitários. Vitalino Canas é Professor da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Lisboa. O presente livro espelha o ensino e investigação em Ciência Política ao longo de mais de trinta e cinco anos, naquela e noutras instituições de ensino superior nacionais e estrangeiras.
O Princípio da Proibição do Excesso na Conformação e no Controlo de Atos Legislativos
O princípio da proibição do excesso ou da proporcionalidade clássica é considerado por muitos o mais importante princípio do Direito Constitucional gerado pelas perspetivas pós-positivistas do direito e o centro da dogmática dos direitos fundamentais. A sua universalidade tem-se acentuado, sendo visto como um dos pilares do vocabulário comum de um constitucionalismo global. Em Portugal, a Constituição consagra-o, tendo sido, aliás, um dos primeiros textos constitucionais a referir-se-lhe expressamente. O Tribunal Constitucional aplica-o com regularidade. O presente estudo demonstra que o princípio da proibição do excesso tem conteúdo, estrutura e metódica aplicativa variáveis consoante seja encarado como norma de ação dirigida ao legislador ou como parâmetro de controlo ao dispor do juiz constitucional. É dado particular relevo à proibição do excesso como instrumento de mediação de operações de harmonização realizadas pelo legislador, porque é a situação menos - ou quase nada - estudada. Porém, esclarecem-se também as condições essenciais da sua aplicação pelo juiz constitucional.
This is Cannabis
In the 4700 years since its first recorded use, cannabis has been respected as a highly useful source of fibre, food and medicine and vilified as a social menace. Society in the 21st century seems to be of both opinions: doctors spend millions exploiting its medicinal value and thousands of people travel to Amsterdam each weekend to sit in cafes to smoke copious amounts of dope free from molestation, yet taking less than 30g (1oz) back into their own countries is an offence and public figures who admit to smoking cannabis in their youth claim that they did so without inhaling. This Is Cannabis does not preach the benefits or the deficits of cannabis; instead, it aims to provide the facts about cannabis in an authoritative, straightforward way, outlining the history, laws, and culture that have accreted around it, its effects on health, and the booming commercial potential.
Afghanistan
"Afghan civil society is deeply upset with disunity and detachment of Taliban groups - those who are tied to regional states agendas. This detachment has also left negative impacts on their fighting capabilities and public support. Regional states, the United States, NATO, Russia, China, Iran and Pakistan are active stakeholders who want peace on their own terms, while Taliban are not an independent entity to decide the future of Afghanistan, or outline long-term peace proposals. This has created a deep problem in finding a solution to the peace problem in Afghanistan. This book is a collection of various articles written by eminent researchers on the aspects of finding a solution to the peace prospects in troubled Afghanistan."

Practising Self-Government
Autonomy provides a framework that allows for regions within countries to exercise self-government beyond the extent available to other sub-state units. This book presents detailed case studies of thirteen such autonomies from around the world, in which noted experts on each outline the constitutional, legal and institutional frameworks as well as how these arrangements have worked in practice to protect minority rights and prevent secession of the territories in question. The volume's editors draw on the case studies to provide a comparative analysis of how autonomy works and the political and institutional conditions under which it is likely to become a workable arrangement for management of the differences that brought it into being.
The Invisible Constitution in Comparative Perspective
Constitutions worldwide inevitably have 'invisible' features: they have silences and lacunae, unwritten or conventional underpinnings, and social and political dimensions not apparent to certain observers. This contributed volume will help its wide audience including scholars, students, and practitioners understand the dimensions to contemporary constitutions, and their role in the interpretation, legitimacy and stability of different constitutional systems.
Perpetrators, Accomplices and Victims in Twentieth-Century Politics
These studies examine the ways in which succeeding democratic regimes have dealt with, or have ignored (and in several cases sugar-coated) an authoritarian or totalitarian past from 1943 to the present. They treat the relationship with democratization and the different ways in which collective memory is formed and dealt with, or ignored and suppressed. Previous books have examined only restricted sets of countries, such as western or eastern Europe, or Latin America. The present volume treats a broader range of cases than any preceding account, and also a much broader time-span, investigating diverse historical and cultural contexts, and the role of national identity and nationalism, studyin...
