Sulla funzione costituzionale dei partiti e delle altre formazioni politiche

"La partecipazione politica, anche quando non è direttamente collegata alla rappresentanza politica, è parte del patrimonio del costituzionalismo democratico. Prendere parte alle decisioni collettive - al momento della loro ideazione, realizzazione e valutazione dell'efficacia (controllo) - realizza il concorso alla determinazione dei processi decisionali pubblici. I partiti politici sono ancora oggi promotori privilegiati di partezipazione e di rappresentanza, dato il loro esplicito rilievo costituzionale e la loro collocazione nella prima parte della Carta. Anche nel confronto con i movimenti politici non dotati di struttura organizzativa stabile,questo libro offre un'analisdi sul ruolo che i partiti politici, come formazioni sociali devono esercitare per continuare a contribuire alla'attuazione del disegno costituzionale "

Anteprima del libro
"Itinerari" di una ricerca sul sistema delle fonti è una raccolta di scritti dell'anno 2015 accomunati, oltre che per l'oggetto trattato (essenzialmente costituito dalla "materia" costituzionale delle fonti), specialmente per la prospettiva da cui esso è osservato, che è "mobile" e "relativa", e non statica o assoluta.Pur con riguardo a campi separati di esperienza (e ad esigenze parimenti distinte, che li caratterizzano), tutti i lavori qui riuniti tentano, infatti, di mostrare, dove con maggiore dove con minore evidenza, come per un puntuale e soddisfacente inquadramento delle fonti occorra guardare, più che agli atti in sé, alle norme da essi prodotte. E, potendosi avere, anziché uno solo, una pluralità di "fondamenti" per ciascun atto, a seconda dei profili osservati, se ne ha che la finale sistemazione di essi oscilla in relazione appunto alle norme ed agli aspetti di volta in volta considerati. ANTONIO RUGGERIinsegna Diritto Costituzionale a Messina. In tema di fonti ha pubblicato Gerarchia, competenza e qualità nel sistema costituzionale delle fonti normative (GiuffrÈ, Milano 1977), Costituzione scritta e diritto costituzionale non scritto (Editoriale Scientifica, Napoli 2012) e, per i tipi della nostra casa editrice, Fonti e norme nell'ordinamento e nell'esperienza costituzionale, I, L'ordinazione in sistema (1993); Fatti e norme nei giudizi sulle leggi e le "metamorfosi" dei criteri ordinatori delle fonti (1994); La Costituzione allo specchio: linguaggio e "materia" costituzionale nella prospettiva della riforma (1999); Le fonti di diritto regionale: ieri, oggi, domani (2001); Fonti, norme, criteri ordinatori.

Fresh Water and International Economic Law

Brown Weiss, Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, and Nathalie Bernasconi-Osterwalder

Fresh water resources are at the same time ecological, economic, social, and cultural goods and must be managed accordingly. However, efforts to manage these resources are complicated by tensions arising from possible clashes between the regimes favouring privatization, trade and investment liberalization, and domestic and international regimes governing water resources, environmental protection and human rights. The relationships between the international economic and legal framework on the one hand and fresh water resource management and protection on the other, are complex and multifaceted.
This book addresses the key interdisciplinary issues that increasingly confront policy makers, tribunals, arbitration bodies and other institutions. It focuses primarily on law, but also includes perspectives from economics, political science and other disciplines. It examines such questions as are governments free to decide whether or not to export water resources? Can foreign investors sue host states for adopting measures to control water pollution? Can international trade rules be used to reduce or eliminate water related subsidies? Do rules on the liberalization of water services affect domestic and international human rights obligations relating to water supply? More generally, how do the procedural rights of states, individuals, affected communities and investors affect decisions regarding the right to drinking water, the rights of investors to exploit water resources, and the rights of governments to protect their lakes, rivers and groundwater?
The Nature of Moral Responsibility
Randolph Clarke, Michael McKenna, Angela M. Smith

What is it to be morally responsible for something? Recent philosophical work reveals considerable disagreement on the question. Indeed, some theorists claim to distinguish several varieties of moral responsibility, with different conditions that must be satisfied if one is to bear responsibility of one or another of these kinds.
Debate on this point turns partly on disagreement about the kinds of responses made appropriate when one is blameworthy or praiseworthy. It is generally agreed that these include "reactive attitudes " such as resentment and gratitude, but theorists disagree about the nature of these attitudes. They dispute the connections between moral responsibility, desert, and the justification of punishment as well.
Many theorists take it that, whatever the appropriate responses are, they are responses to an agent's "quality of will, " but there is no consensus on what this comes to. Are the agent's beliefs about the moral status of her behavior what matter, or is it what she cares about, or what she judges important?

This volume presents twelve original essays from participants in these debates. The contributors include prominent established figures as well as influential younger philosophers. A substantive introduction by the editors surveys recent debates and situates the contributions within it.
The First Civil Right:
How Liberals Built Prison America
by Naomi Murakawa 

The explosive rise in the U.S. incarceration rate in the second half of the twentieth century, and the racial transformation of the prison population from mostly white at mid-century to sixty-five percent black and Latino in the present day, is a trend that cannot easily be ignored. Many believe that this shift began with the "tough on crime" policies advocated by Republicans and southern Democrats beginning in the late 1960s, which sought longer prison sentences, more frequent use of the death penalty, and the explicit or implicit targeting of politically marginalized people. In The First Civil Right, Naomi Murakawa inverts the conventional wisdom by arguing that the expansion of the federal carceral state-a system that disproportionately imprisons blacks and Latinos-was, in fact, rooted in the civil-rights liberalism of the 1940s and early 1960s, not in the period after.

Murakawa traces the development of the modern American prison system through several presidencies, both Republication and Democrat. Responding to calls to end the lawlessness and violence against blacks at the state and local levels, the Truman administration expanded the scope of what was previously a weak federal system. Later administrations from Johnson to Clinton expanded the federal presence even more. Ironically, these steps laid the groundwork for the creation of the vast penal archipelago that now exists in the United States. What began as a liberal initiative to curb the mob violence and police brutality that had deprived racial minorities of their 'first civil right-physical safety-eventually evolved into the federal correctional system that now deprives them, in unjustly large numbers, of another important right: freedom. The First Civil Right is a groundbreaking analysis of root of the conflicts that lie at the intersection of race and the legal system in America

La rupture du mariage en droit comparé
Frédérique Ferrand, Hugues Fulchiron


Cet ouvrage est le résultat de l'étude menée entre 2012 et 2014 par l'Institut de droit comparé Edouard Lambert et le Centre de droit de la famille de l'Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3, afin d'accompagner l'entrée en vigueur du règlement européen Rome III sur la loi applicable en matière de divorce. Toutefois, le champ de l'étude n'a pas été limité aux États membres participant à cette coopération renforcée ; l'intérêt suscité par la connaissance de systèmes juridiques dotés de spécificités a conduit à élargir son domaine. L'étude comparative porte ainsi sur huit États participant au règlement Rome III et cinq n'y participant pas. Treize États ont donc été étudiés en contemplation du droit français, afin de donner des repères au lecteur : l'Allemagne, l'Angleterre, l'Autriche, la Belgique, la Bulgarie, l'Espagne, la Grèce, la Hongrie, l'Italie, les Pays-Bas, la Pologne, la Roumanie et la Suède. Le rapport comparatif publié aujourd'hui repose sur les réponses à un questionnaire exhaustif (pas moins de 96 questions ont été traitées par les rapporteurs nationaux) visant à permettre une vue précise et pratique du droit matériel et procédural du divorce dans les ordres juridiques étudiés. Les différents cas de divorce et les particularités procédurales sont traités dans une première partie, qui réserve une place toute particulière à l'enfant et à sa place dans la procédure. La question des mesures provisoires y est également évoquée, avec en perspective le traitement des situations de violences entre époux. Les conséquences du divorce, tant à l'égard du couple que des enfants, sont abordées dans un second temps. Le sort des conventions entre époux relatives aux effets du divorce, qui sont promues dans l'ensemble des systèmes étudiés, a en conséquence fait l'objet d'un traitement spécifique dans la deuxième partie. Un apport historique et statistique, ainsi que des éléments de prospective, permettront au lecteur de mettre en contexte les différentes législations étudiées. Enfin, l'étude comparée des règles de droit international privé applicables au divorce est traitée dans une troisième partie. Celle-ci, au-delà du cadre général des règles de conflits et de la circulation des décisions de divorce, aborde la question nouvelle du divorce des couples de même sexe.

Fresh Water in International Law
Laurence Boisson de Chazournes

This book addresses the diverse ways in which international law governs the uses, management, and protection of fresh water. The international law of fresh water is most comprehensively understood in the light of the different bodies of norms applicable to these varied uses and functions.
The regulation of fresh water has primarily developed through the conclusion of treaties concerning international watercourses. Yet a number of other legal regimes also apply to the governance of fresh water. In particular, there has been an increasing recognition of the importance of fresh water to environmental protection. The development of international human rights law and international humanitarian law has also proven crucial for ensuring the sound and equitable management of this resource. In addition, the economic uses of fresh water feature prominently in the law applicable to watercourses, while water itself has become an important element of the trade and investment regimes. These bodies of rules and principles not only surface in an array of dispute settlement mechanisms, but also stimulate wider trends of institutionalization.
The book investigates the origin and scope of these bodies of norms as they apply to fresh water, and demonstrates how they connect and adapt to one another, forming an integrated body of international principles. This approach is accompanied by a detailed analysis of the practice of states and of international organizations, taking into account the activities of the many non-state actors involved in the treatment of fresh water.
Made in Africa
Industrial Policy in Ethiopia
Arkebe Oqubay

Made in Africa presents the findings of original field research into the design, practice, and varied outcomes of industrial policy in the cement, leather and leather products, and floriculture sectors in Ethiopia. It explores how and why the outcomes of industrial policy are shaped by particular factors in these industries. It also examines industrial structures and associated global value chains to demonstrate the challenges faced by African firms in international markets. The findings are discussed against the backdrop of 'industrial policy', which has recently found renewed favour among economists and international organizations, and of the history of thought about and practice in industrialization. The book seeks to learn from the failures and successes in the three sectors, all of them functioning under the umbrella of a single industrial strategy. It argues that an effective industrial policy requires a more interventionist state than most development economists would accept, including those recently claiming to champion a 'new industrial policy'. Moreover, it argues that success lies in the interactions among policy, specific industrial structures, and institutions. Specifically, a successful policy, he posits should maximize linkage effects, but will founder in the absence of a clear understanding of the political economy of each sector.
The Pricing of Internationally Traded Gas,
ed. Jonathan P. Stern

This is the first book in any language to focus exclusively on the pricing of internationally traded gas. Gas accounts for around 25 per cent of global energy demand, and international gas trade is growing rapidly. The first chapter of this book examines some of the analytical issues and the contribution that economic theory can make to the study of international gas pricing. This is followed by an historical chapter tracing the origins and development of international gas pricing in the four regions which dominated natural gas trade – North America, Europe, LNG importing Asia, and the former Soviet Union – up to the early 2000s. The main part of the book focuses on developments in the 2000s, with a view to how gas pricing is likely to develop during the 2010s and beyond. Aside from the established gas trading regions, the book includes chapters on international gas pricing in: the Middle East, North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa; Latin America and the Caribbean; south-east Asia; India; China; and Pacific Basin LNG markets. These national and regional studies are followed by thematic chapters on the globalization of gas markets and prices, and the potential development of a ‘gas-OPEC’.

The concluding chapter considers the extent to which international gas pricing is likely to remain regional, or whether gas could become a ‘global market’ – with a global price – akin to the crude oil market. A third possibility is whether international pricing is likely to come under the control of a small group of countries, similar to the influence of OPEC in the crude oil market. Overall it is argued that domestic gas price reform will increasingly be driven by international gas prices and that, as gas becomes a more important fuel in the energy balances of many countries around the world, it is becoming increasingly urgent for its pricing to reconnect with economic and market fundamentals, rather than continue to be determined by crude oil and oil product prices, or politically driven subsidies.
Natural Gas Markets in the Middle East and North Africa
Edited by Bassam Fattouh and Jonathan Stern (eds)

Contributors: Siamak Adibi, Randa Alami, Andrew Cleary, Hakim Darbouche, Justin Dargin, Bassam Fattouh, Fereidun Fesharaki, Andy Flower, Franz Gerner, David Ledesma, Robert Mabro, Waniss A. Otman, Ian Rutledge, Jonathan Stern, Silvana Tordo, Lorian Yacoub

The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies has recently published an academic book on the gas supply, demand and trade prospects for the entire Middle East and North African region. This is the first academic book in any language to provide a comprehensive analysis of market prospects in countries with 40% of the world’s proven gas reserves. The main conclusion of the book is that the majority of countries are encountering increasingly serious problems in meeting very rapidly increasing gas demand, mainly for power generation but also for new petrochemical projects. Despite huge reserves, countries are struggling to cope with demand growth of 6-7% per annum, partly resulting from very low domestic prices which are one third to one sixth of the cost of new domestic production, and an even smaller fraction of the price of internationally traded gas. This situation is causing countries, including those which have traditionally been exporters, to import pipeline gas and LNG. Middle East and North African countries urgently need to raise domestic gas prices to at least cost-based – and eventually to internationally traded – levels, a task which would have been extremely difficult even prior to the recent political upheavals in the region, but now seems beyond either existing or new governments. Failure to increase prices will either cause subsidies, and hence financial deficits, to increase to unmanageable levels or a future of increasingly serious power shortages.
The only exception to these general trends will be Qatar, already the largest LNG exporter in the world, but where growth potential beyond current projects is uncertain. Saudi Arabia may continue its current policy of no imports/no exports, but only at the expense of increasing use of oil in power generation. Algerian exports will continue to grow slowly but will peak before the end of this decade. Iraq and Israel could become modest exporters of gas but (aside from Qatar) the general outlook for exports from the region is relatively bleak.
Natural Gas in India
Liberalisation and Policy
Anil K. Jain

India is in transition. It is simultaneously passing through a number of economic transformations, some of them historically momentous. The driving forces for some of the changes are peculiar to the nation, or even to particular sectors. But others are shared with other parts of the world and are influenced by international pressures and examples. This book analyses an ongoing economic transformation in the natural gas sector, which exemplifies the main question underlying policy debates: how to make the transition to a more efficient economy, whilst meeting distributional objectives that are imperative to bringing India's population out of poverty. This is a classic dilemma encountered in any economy in transition, and the experience in India's natural gas sector offers an insight into potential solutions. The transition in the gas sector is part of the larger movement of the economy from a centrally planned and administered system to one based on market principles. During transition, the situation cannot be understood simply in terms of the conventional paradigm of demand and supply being balanced by price. Demand and supply are influenced by different factors, but have been kept broadly in balance by a complex system of administered pricing and quantitative allocation. The resulting distortions have been spread across the main gas consuming sectors. As distortions mount, parts of the system are modified, usually in the broad direction of liberalisation and reform. But partial reform often has the effect of displacing the problems, presenting further challenges, and requiring further changes. In order to allow for a liberalised policy framework without sacrificing social objectives, policy makers have had to evolve newer forms of policy implementation, including, perhaps, more targeted forms of subsidisation.
This book is the first to meticulously explore these challenges and analyse the existing policy framework in the gas sector, including the system of awarding acreages, the systems of gas allocation and pricing, and the likely demand and supply scenarios for domestic and imported gas. It draws together different pieces of a larger gas sector story, viewed against the backdrop of India's broader transitions and its increasingly important role within the world economy.

Ranking and Priority of Creditors

Edited by Dennis Faber, Niels Vermunt, Jason Kilborn, 
Tomáš Richter, and Ignacio Tirado

This book is the third volume in the Oxford International and Comparative Insolvency Law Series. It addresses one of the critical issues of any insolvency by providing comprehensive analysis of the law and practice in relation to creditor claims.
As with the two previous volumes in the series the book provides a comparative view by setting out the relevant law and practice in over 20 jurisdictions drawing out the divergences and common features of domestic insolvency laws from a broad spectrum of countries. Areas covered include submission of claims, verification and admission of claims, ranking of insolvency and administration claims, treatment of non-enforceable claims, and voting and participation rights.

Quality, uniformity and the high level of detail of National Reports are the key benefits of this volume. The book assists practitioners in assessing which ranking and participation rights could be asserted by the various types of creditors in the jurisdictions covered. For scholars it provides access to a wealth of information which is currently not accessible in English.
Italian Constitutional Justice in Global Context

Vittoria Barsotti, Paolo G. Carozza, Marta Cartabia, 
and Andrea Simoncini


Italian Constitutional Justice in Global Context is the first book ever published in English to provide an international examination of the Italian Constitutional Court (ItCC), offering a comprehensive analysis of its principal lines of jurisprudence, historical origins, organization, procedures, and its current engagement with transnational European law. The ItCC represents one of the strongest and most successful examples of constitutional judicial review, and is distinctive in its structure, institutional dimensions, and well-developed jurisprudence. Moreover, the ItCC has developed a distinctive voice among global constitutional actors in its adjudication of a broad range of topics from fundamental rights and liberties to the allocations of governmental power and regionalism. Nevertheless, in global constitutional dialog, the voice of the ItCC has been almost entirely absent due to a relative lack of both English translations of its decisions and of focused scholarly commentary in English.
This book describes the "Italian Style" in global constitutional adjudication, and aims to elevate Italian constitutional jurisprudence to an active participant role in global constitutional discourse. The authors have carefully structured the work to allow the ItCC's own voice to emerge. It presents broad syntheses of major areas of the Court's case law, provides excerpts from notable decisions in a narrative and analytical context, addresses the tension between the ItCC and the Court of Cassation, and positions the development, character, and importance of the ItCC's jurisprudence in the larger arc of global judicial dialog.
The Guardian of the Constitution
Hans Kelsen and Carl Schmitt on the Limits of Constitutional Law


This volume provides the first English translation of Hans Kelsen's and Carl Schmitt's influential Weimar-era debate on constitutional guardianship and the legitimacy of constitutional review. It includes Kelsen's seminal piece, 'The Nature and Development of Constitutional Adjudication', as well as key extracts from the 'Guardian of the Constitution' which present Schmitt's argument against constitutional review. Also included are Kelsen's review of Schmitt's 'Guardian of the Constitution', as well as some further material by Kelsen and Schmitt on presidential dictatorship under Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. These texts show Kelsen and Schmitt responding to one another, in the context of a debate focused on a concrete constitutional crisis, thus allowing the reader to assess the plausibility of Kelsen's and Schmitt's legal and constitutional theories.

European Constitutionalism
Kaarlo Tuori

European Constitutionalism redraws the perimeters in the debate on the nature of the European constitution. Offering a fresh approach to both doctrinal and theoretical issues, this book discusses general characteristics of the European constitution under the headings of relationality, perspectivism and discursiveness, and contains forays to sectoral constitutionalization in the micro- and macroeconomic, social and security dimensions. European constitutionalism must be examined in its interaction with Member State constitutionalism, which plays an essential role in channelling democratic legitimacy to the EU. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars alike.
Serena Ammirati
Sul libro latino antico.
Ricerche bibliologiche e paleografiche


Il volume di Serena Ammirati rappresenta l'approdo di anni di indagini condotte dalla studiosa ed è caratterizzato da una particolare ricchezza tematica e da un arco temporale di studio molto ampio (I sec. a.C.-VIII sec. d.C.). In cinque capitoli l'autrice ricostruisce aspetti materiali e forme di veicolazione dei testi letterari e paraletterari latini in epoca antica e tardoantica, senza trascurare fenomeni fondamentali della storia della cultura, quali l'influsso delle pratiche librarie greche su quelle latine, il passaggio dal rotolo al codice, il bilinguismo e il digrafismo. Tra i pregi maggiori dell'opera è la costante attenzione che in essa viene riservata al mondo del libro e della scrittura greca, la cui suggestione su quello del libro e della scrittura latina, pur innegabile, viene talora dimenticata; ma non esiste una paleografia latina avulsa da quella greca, come non esistono la filologia o la papirologia latina scollegate da quelle greche. Anche grazie alla 'sterminata' e aggiornata bibliografia citata dalla Ammirati, il libro rende utili servigi a chi voglia acquisire buone conoscenze di bibliologia e paleografia (ma in qualche misura anche di storia tout court) del libro antico latino e greco. Da Ercolano all'Egitto, dall'Egitto all'area siropalestinese, dagli esercizi di scrittura alle opere di Sallustio e Livio, dai glossari ai codici 'biblioteca': la sistematicità e la rigorosa visione diacronica dei temi affrontati fanno del volume un'opera di consultazione, un manuale destinato ad essere per molto tempo un punto di riferimento per quanti studiano la fenomenologia grafica e libraria nell'area mediterranea antica e tardoantica.

Recht als Wissenschaft:
Geschichte der juristischen Methodenlehre in der Neuzeit (1500-1933)
von Jan Schröder 

Zum Werk
Wie ist vorzugehen, um das geltende Recht zu ermitteln? Wie gehen wir mit Regelungslücken um? Wie verhält sich die Interpretation der Rechtssätze zum logisch richtigen Arbeiten mit ihnen?
Dieses Buch geht auf Grundfragen ein und zeigt, wie sich die Antworten darauf entwickelt haben. Dabei beschreibt es einen besonders ereignisreichen Abschnitt der Rechtsgeschichte bis in unsere jüngere Gegenwart. Die Ergebnisse sind auf überraschende Weise aktuell.
Das Werk belegt: Methodenlehre und Rechtsbegriff stehen in engstem Zusammenhang, Rechtsquellen- und Methodenlehre gehören zusammen und beleuchten sich gegenseitig.
Rezenszionen zur 1. Auflage
"… ein Werk, das ohne Übertreibung als bahnbrechend bezeichnet werden darf."
"Das Buch ist ohne Zweifel ein großer Wurf …"
"Bestechend ist überhaupt die klare, schnörkellose Sprache, die beweist, dass man ein höchst kompliziertes Thema verständlich darstellen kann."
Clausdieter Schott in "Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte, Germanistische Abteilung," 124. Band/2007
"… klare Struktur, … dem Gegenstand angemessen, präzise und ohne Schnörkel … handelte es sich bei den verhandelten Themen um ‚kontextresistente', durchlaufende und abstrakte Fragen, die sich dem wissenschaftlich und praktisch tätigen Juristen immer wieder neu stellen. Dies ist der wichtigste Grund für die auch an Nicht-Historiker gerichtete Leseempfehlung. Alle juristisch vorgebildeten Leserinnen und Leser werden ihre Entdeckungen machen, wenn sie erfahren, was frühere Juristen vorgetragen haben, wenn es um die Festlegung der relevanten Rechtsnorm, um eine Entscheidung zwischen Analogie und Umkehrschluss oder um den Vorrang zwischen der Auslegung nach philologischen, historischen, autoritativen oder systematischen Gesichtspunkten ging."
Prof. Dr. Michael Stolleis bei der Begründung zur Auszeichnung als eines (von vier) "Büchern des Jahres 2002" in NJW 2002, 3593
Zielgruppe
Wer sich als Jurist über die geistesgeschichtlichen Grundlagen seiner Wissenschaft klar werden will, auch um sie im modernen Sinn weiterzuentwickeln, kommt an diesem Buch nicht vorbei. Geradezu Pflichtlektüre sollte es für alle Hochschullehrer sein, vor allem wenn sie Rechtsgeschichte, Rechtsphilosophie oder Methodenlehre unterrichten. Auch für Theologie, Medizin und Philosophie, die ähnliche Interpretationsprobleme haben, bietet das Werk interessante Aspekte.

Governing the Nile River Basin
The Search for a New Legal Regime

The effective and efficient management of water is a major problem, not just for economic growth and development in the Nile River basin, but also for the peaceful coexistence of the millions of people who live in the region. Of critical importance to the people of this part of Africa is the reasonable, equitable and sustainable management of the waters of the Nile River and its tributaries.
Written by scholars trained in economics and law, and with significant experience in African political economy, this book explores new ways to deal with conflict over the allocation of the waters of the Nile River and its tributaries. The monograph provides policymakers in the Nile River riparian states and other stakeholders with practical and effective policy options for dealing with what has become a very contentious problem—the effective management of the waters of the Nile River. The analysis is quite rigorous but also extremely accessible.
