The Method and Culture of Comparative Law:

Essays in Honour of Mark Van Hoecke

by Maurice Adams (Editor), Dirk Heirbaut (Editor)

Awareness for the need to deepen the methodological foundations of legal research is only recent. The same is true for comparative law, by nature a more adventurous branch of legal research, which is often something researchers simply do, whenever they look at foreign legal systems to answer one or more of a range of questions about law, whether these questions are doctrinal, economic, sociological, etc. Given the diversity of comparative research projects, the precise contours of the methods employed, or the epistemological issues raised by them, are to a great extent a function of the nature of the research questions asked. As a result, the search for a unique, one-size-fits-all comparative law methodology is unlikely to be fruitful. That, however, doesn't make reflection on the methodology and culture of comparative law meaningless. Mark Van Hoecke has, throughout his career, been interested in many topics, but legal theory, comparative law, and methodology of law stand out. Building upon Van Hoecke's work, this festschrift brings together many authors working at the crossroads of these themes: the methodology of comparative law.

Communications, Media and the Imperial Experience:

 Britain and India in the Twentieth Century

by Chandrika Kaul  (Author)

Over the course of the twentieth century, the British Raj successfully combined military force and coercion, with modern methods of persuasion, publicity and media manipulation - imperial public relations - in its strategies to engage with the increasingly challenging task of governing its Indian empire. This book focuses on the media environment of empire as a conceptual tool to investigate its political culture and role in shaping the imperial experience. The British national press, Reuters, the BBC, US newspapers and international news agencies such as the Associated Press and the United Press, as well as the Indian media, had a seminal role to play in this process. The interaction of imperial and media cultures is undertaken through in-depth case studies utilising hitherto unseen primary sources and examining the grand pageant of the Coronation Durbar 1911, Gandhian strategies of mass civil disobedience during the 1930s, the new technological revolution of broadcasting and the birth of All India Radio, as well as the endgame of empire and decolonisation in 1947.

The Price of Rights: Regulating International Labor Migration

by Martin Ruhs  (Author)

Many low-income countries and development organizations are calling for greater liberalization of labor immigration policies in high-income countries. At the same time, human rights organizations and migrant rights advocates demand more equal rights for migrant workers. The Price of Rights shows why you cannot always have both.

Examining labor immigration policies in over forty countries, as well as policy drivers in major migrant-receiving and migrant-sending states, Martin Ruhs finds that there are trade-offs in the policies of high-income countries between openness to admitting migrant workers and some of the rights granted to migrants after admission. Insisting on greater equality of rights for migrant workers can come at the price of more restrictive admission policies, especially for lower-skilled workers. Ruhs advocates the liberalization of international labor migration through temporary migration programs that protect a universal set of core rights and account for the interests of nation-states by restricting a few specific rights that create net costs for receiving countries.

The Price of Rights analyzes how high-income countries restrict the rights of migrant workers as part of their labor immigration policies and discusses the implications for global debates about regulating labor migration and protecting migrants. It comprehensively looks at the tensions between human rights and citizenship rights, the agency and interests of migrants and states, and the determinants and ethics of labor immigration policy.

Le nuove norme sulla giustizia penale

by A. Marandola, G. Varraso C. Conti (Author)

Le recenti riforme stanno agitando le burrascose acque del processo penale. Da un lato, la legge n. 10 del 2014, di conversione del decreto-legge n. 146 del 2013, ha introdotto misure urgenti per l’adeguamento del sistema sanzionatorio alle indicazioni della Corte europea dei diritti umani tracciate nella sentenza pilota Torreggiani contro Italia. Da un altro lato, la legge n. 67 del 2014 ha introdotto vari istituti che incidono profondamente su alcuni snodi centrali del processo e che stanno determinando accesi dibattiti nelle aule di Giustizia sotto il profilo della disciplina transitoria. L’eliminazione della contumacia lascia il passo alla sospensione nei confronti degli irreperibili ed alla disciplina dell’assenza. Ancora, entra in campo la messa alla prova per adulti che arricchisce il novero dei procedimenti speciali deflativi del dibattimento. In un’ottica più ampia, poi, il Parlamento ha tessuto una fitta trama delegando il Governo ad intervenire funditus sul sistema sanzionatorio. Tutte queste problematiche sono oggetto di ampia analisi critica nel presente volume. Un esame approfondito è dedicato, poi, ai recenti rivolgimenti esegetici e normativi che hanno interessato la disciplina degli stupefacenti, culminando nella legge n. 79 del 2014 di conversione del decreto-legge n. 36 del 2014. Infine, si dà ampiamente conto del d.lgs. n. 32 del 2014 volto a garantire il diritto alla traduzione in capo all’imputato alloglotta.

Law, Society, and Authority in Late Antiquity

by Ralph W. Mathisen (Editor)

The sixteen papers in this volume investigate the links between law and society during Late Antiquity (260-640 CE). On the one hand, they consider how social changes such as the barbarian settlement and the rise of the Christian church resulted in the creation of new sources of legal authority, such as local and "vulgar" law, barbarian law codes, and canon law. On the other, they investigate the interrelationship between legal innovations and social change.

The Theodosian Code: Studies in the Imperial Law of Late

by Ian Wood (Editor), Jill Harries (Editor)

 

The Theodosian Code, put together under the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II, is a compliation of the laws dating from 312 to 438 AD, when the code was published. It brought order to a vast unmanageable body of law and formed part of the basis for the sixth-century Institutes of Justinian, fundamental to later jurisprudence. This book is an important collection of articles, well established as an essential resource for students of Roman law, long unavailable and here published in paperback for the first time with a new preface and updated bibliography. Contributors: Simon Corcoran; Brian Croke; Judith Evans Grubbs; Jill Harries; Tony Honore; David Hunt; John Matthews; Boudewijn Sirks; Mark Vessey; Dafydd Walters; Ian Wood.

Law and Authority under the Guise of the Good (Law and Practical Reason)

by Veronica Rodriguez-Blanco

The received view on the nature of legal authority contains the idea that a sound account of legitimate authority will explain how a legal authority has a right to command and the addressee a duty to obey. The received view fails to explain, however, how legal authority truly operates upon human beings as rational creatures with specific psychological makeups. This book takes a bottom-up approach, beginning at the microscopic level of agency and practical reason, and continues on to the justificatory framework of authority. The book argues that an understanding of the nature of legal normativity involves an understanding of the nature and structure of practical reason in the context of the law, and advances the idea that legal authority and normativity are intertwined. This point can be summarized thus: if we are able to understand both how the agent exercises his or her practical reason under legal directives and commands, and how the agent engages his or her practical reason by following legal rules grounded in reasons for actions as good-making characteristics, then we can fully grasp the nature of legal authority and legal normativity. Using the philosophies of action enshrined in the works of Elisabeth Anscombe and Thomas Aquinas, the book explains practical reason as diachronic future-directed intention in action, and it argues that this conception illuminates the structure of practical reason of the legal rules' addressees. The account is comprehensive and enables the reader to distinguish authoritative and normative legal rules in just and good legal systems from 'apparent' authoritative and normative legal rules of evil legal systems. At the heart of the book is the methodological view of a 'practical turn' to elucidate the nature of legal normativity and authority. It is a fascinating read for all those interested in legal philosophy. (Series: Law and Practical Reason) [Subject: Legal Philosophy]

Due son le porte dei sogni

«Cominciamo nel quarto secolo d.C. in Egitto. Vi piacerebbe comparire nei sogni altrui? Ecco cosa dovete fare. Rivolti alla lampada sul comodino (a rigore, dovrebbe essere una lampada a olio), pronunciate le seguenti parole: “Cheiamopsei herpeboth. Fa’ in modo che MM, la figlia di NN, mi veda nei suoi sogni – ora, ora, presto, presto”. Aggiungete poi il vostro messaggio personale. Ripetetelo spesso. Queste, almeno, erano le istruzioni fornite da un papiro magico greco – espresse naturalmente con la massima serietà, dato che non si trattava di un gioco. La lettura di questi testi ci trasporta in un mondo che, per lo meno a uno sguardo superficiale, è completamente estraneo ai tempi moderni. Eppure anche oggi molti sono convinti che c’è qualcosa di significativo nel contenuto dei loro sogni, proprio come i Greci.»

Ma come è cambiata la cultura del sogno dai tempi di Omero alla tarda Antichità? Cosa significavano i sogni? Come li leggiamo e li interpretiamo con i nostri occhi di moderni quei sogni? Dall’Iliade ad Aristofane, dal Vangelo di Matteo ad Agostino, William V. Harris analizza il fenomeno del sogno nell’antichità, rintracciandone il tratto distintivo nell’epifania di una figura autorevole, che dà istruzioni o trasmette informazioni. Il sognatore e/o il narratore non solo rivendicano di aver ricevuto istruzioni o informazioni da parte di enti superiori, ma con questo sogno possono dare un senso alle azioni umane e conferire prestigio.

Codex Theodosianus

Historia de un texto

Josè Maria Coma Fort

El presente trabajo pretende exponer los avances de la restauración del texto teodosiano en cada una de las ediciones conocidas, fundamentalmente en las anteriores a Hänel. Se trata, en definitiva, de que el lector pueda saber lo que se esconde tras una cita del Código Teodosiano en una época concreta. Con este objetivo se presenta la historia de esta reconstrucción progresiva desde dos ángulos posibles: el primero, el de la tradición manuscrita del Código, considerando sobre todo el aspecto histórico de los códices; y el segundo, el del comentario de las ediciones, desde la primera de 1517 hasta la última e incompleta de Krüger.

En consecuencia, podemos hablar de dos partes: una, destinada a ordenar el material manuscrito, que comprende cinco capítulos desarrollados según el sistema de los Prolegomena in Theodosianum de Mommsen, monumento de erudición más citado que leído; y otra, que tiene por objeto las ediciones conocidas (capítulo sexto), en la que, el autor se detiene más en las ediciones antiguas, menos estudiadas y carentes de prefacios explicativos.

Origin of Wealth:

Evolution, Complexity, and the Radical Remaking of Economics

by Eric D. Beinhocker 

Anteprima del libro

In the "Origin of Wealth", Eric Beinhocker offers a thorough and convincing new way to think about economic growth and business management. The author begins by exploring the roots of modern economic theory and ultimately declares it outmoded and wrong. Instead, he suggests, markets and growth can best be explained by drawing on the emerging field of complexity economics: the study of markets and social systems as complex adaptive systems.Although biological metaphors in business have become familiar (i.e., organizations are living organisms), Beinhocker moves beyond metaphor to explain the revolutions in science that will inevitably change the way we think about economics, competition, and business. "The Origin of Wealth" raises important questions such as: How can one create strategy in uncertain and fast moving environments? Why is it hard for large organizations to be innovative and how should we organize for better results? And what role should governments play in this new era?

Il modello di Common Law

di Ugo Mattei

"Il volume offre un disegno rigoroso e coerente della circolazione e della struttura del diritto anglo-americano nell'ambito della Tradizione Giuridica Occidentale. L'evoluzione, le caratteristiche più notevoli e le interazioni fra i diversi modelli vengono descritte, analizzate e talvolta giustificate in chiave storica e comparativa mediante un costante raffronto con l'esperienza continentale. Una sequenza di immagini e di riflessioni, di considerazioni e di valutazioni tracciata da uno studioso di civil law che ha un'eccezionale conoscenza del sistema di common law". "Ugo Mattei individua nel loro esatto significato problemi che appaiono invisibili o insignificanti per il giurista angloamericano e, nello stesso tempo, propone soluzioni più consapevoli e meditate di quelle, eccessivamente esasperate e approssimative, che ancora oggi dominano la letteratura comparatistica".

Terremoto elettorale

Le elezioni politiche del 2013

Un terremoto: così si può definire il risultato elettorale del 2013, con un sistema che da bipolare diventa a «tre poli e mezzo», e il M5S che dal nulla diventa il primo partito, sospinto da oltre otto milioni di voti. Per la prima volta, dalla fine della Prima Repubblica, a determinare l’esito non è solo una bizzarra legge elettorale, né le scelte coalizionali dei partiti: è invece un massiccio cambiamento nelle scelte di voto degli elettori. Di qui la necessità di un’analisi rigorosa e approfondita di queste elezioni cruciali, che il libro affronta a tutto campo: dalla costruzione dell’offerta politica alla campagna elettorale, dalle dinamiche dell’astensionismo a quelle del voto e dei flussi elettorali, dalla novità del M5S al significativo ricambio della classe politica.

Se gli Stati si indeboliscono, cosa accade alla democrazia che in essi si è sviluppata? Qual è la sorte del diritto, che siamo abituati a ricondurre all'idea di Stato-nazione? L'autore cerca, per queste domande, risposte che tengano conto dell'odierna fase di passaggio, in cui l'erosione della sovranità si accompagna con il controllo degli Stati sui regimi regolatori ultrastatali, l'affermazione di standard globali con il potere ultimo di applicarli rimasto nelle mani dei governi nazionali, lo sviluppo di norme e procedure internazionali con il crescente ruolo delle amministrazioni statali e del loro diritto.

The Calling of Law:

The Pivotal Role of Vocational Legal Education

by Fiona Westwood,  Karen Barton 

As one of the 'learned' professions requiring advanced learning and high principles, law enjoys a special standing in society. In return for its status and rank, the legal profession is expected to exhibit the highest levels of honesty, trust and morality, the very values which underpin the legal system itself. This, in turn, entrusts to legal education a particular problem of addressing, not only the substantive elements of the body of law, but a means through which the characteristics of the 'calling' of law are imparted and instilled. At a time when the very essence of the legal profession is under threat, this book calls for a realignment of the legal curriculum and pedagogies so as to emphasise the development of culture over industry; character over eloquence; and calling over skill. Chapters are grouped around the core content and key themes of Curiosity, Calling, Character and Conscientiousness, Contract, and Culture. The volume includes contributions from leading experts, drawn internationally and from other professional disciplines in order to present alternative approaches aimed at tackling common issues, providing insight, and provoking debate.

Applied Nonparametric Econometrics

by Daniel J. Henderson,  Christopher F. Parmeter 

Anteprima del libro

The majority of empirical research in economics ignores the potential benefits of nonparametric methods, while the majority of advances in nonparametric theory ignores the problems faced in applied econometrics. This book helps bridge this gap between applied economists and theoretical nonparametric econometricians. It discusses in depth, and in terms that someone with only one year of graduate econometrics can understand, basic to advanced nonparametric methods. The analysis starts with density estimation and motivates the procedures through methods that should be familiar to the reader. It then moves on to kernel regression, estimation with discrete data, and advanced methods such as estimation with panel data and instrumental variables models. The book pays close attention to the issues that arise with programming, computing speed, and application. In each chapter, the methods discussed are applied to actual data, paying attention to presentation of results and potential pitfalls.

Il progetto filiazione nell'era tecnologica. 

Percorsi etici e giuridici

von Lorenzo D'Avack (Autor)

Questo volume ricostruisce le molteplici problematiche, sia etiche che giuridiche, suscitate dalla volontà di realizzare la filiazione attraverso un percorso, che si distacca dal "naturale" e che si avvale delle tecnologie riproduttive. Un "progetto" che suscita un ampio dibattito culturale, in quanto rimette in discussione le relazioni che sono alla base dei rapporti tra i sessi nelle famiglie e il modo di intendere la paternità, la maternità e la filiazione. Il settore della procreatica risulta, dunque, fra quelli che in una società pluralista maggiormente ha richiesto e richiede una regolamentazione giuridica che si traduca in una ragionevole mediazione, una attenta e prudente composizione dei conflitti etici in gioco attraverso la tecnica del bilanciamento dei valori fondamentali e dei diritti dell'uomo. Ciò è tanto più necessario in questo settore in cui si ripropone forte il problema delle risposte date in chiave morale o in chiave giuridica alle continue domande emergenti nel contesto del problematico rapporto tra bioetica e biodiritto. Dopo una analisi generale, che tiene altresì conto delle scelte etiche e giuridiche nel contesto europeo, l'autore esamina criticamente la legislazione italiana (L. 40/2004) in materia, ripercorrendo i principi che l'hanno ispirata, le interpretazioni giurisprudenziali delle corti e gli interventi costituzionali che si sono susseguiti e che per diversi aspetti hanno contribuito ad una riscrittura della legge stessa.

Growing Artificial Societies: Social Science from the Bottom Up

von Joshua M. Epstein  (Autor), Robert L. Axtell (Künstler)

Anteprima del libro

How do social structures and group behaviors arise from the interaction of individuals? Growing Artificial Societies approaches this question with cutting-edge computer simulation techniques. Fundamental collective behaviors such as group formation, cultural transmission, combat, and trade are seen to "emerge" from the interaction of individual agents following a few simple rules. In their program, named Sugarscape, Epstein and Axtell begin the development of a "bottom up" social science that is capturing the attention of researchers and commentators alike. The study is part of the 2050 Project, a joint venture of the Santa Fe Institute, the World Resources Institute, and the Brookings Institution. The project is an international effort to identify conditions for a sustainable global system in the next century and to design policies to help achieve such a system.

Die Rechtsgeschichte gliedert sich traditionell in zahlreiche Einzelfächer, wobei der Einteilung in Römisches und Deutsches Recht besondere Bedeutung zukommt. Diese Trennung scheint derzeit in Rückbildung begriffen zu sein. Das aus der Lehrpraxis entstandene Buch trägt dieser Entwicklung Rechnung. Behandelt werden die antiken römischen Grundlagen, Grundzüge des germanischen und des deutschen Rechts seit dem Mittelalter ebenso wie Rezeption des römischen Rechts und Humanismus bis hin zu den modernen Kodifikationen. Ein Kapitel zum Nationalsozialismus und zu den Rechtsbildungen nach 1945 sowie zur Rechtsentwicklung in der DDR und der Bundesrepublik runden den Band ab. Das didaktisch gut aufbereitete und eingeführte Studienbuch liegt jetzt in einer dritten überarbeiteten und ergänzten Auflage vor.

Mind, Reason, and Being-in-the-world: 

The McDowell-Dreyfus Debate

Joseph K. Schear

Anteprima del libro

John McDowell and Hubert L. Dreyfus are philosophers of world renown, whose work has decisively shaped the fields of analytic philosophy and phenomenology respectively. Mind, Reason, and Being-in-the-World: The McDowell-Dreyfus Debate opens with their debate over one of the most important and controversial subjects of philosophy: is human experience pervaded by conceptual rationality, or does experience mark the limits of reason? Is all intelligibility rational, or is there a form of intelligibility at work in our skilful bodily rapport with the world that eludes our intellectual capacities? McDowell and Dreyfus provide a fascinating insight into some fundamental differences between analytic philosophy and phenomenology, as well as areas where they may have something in common.

Fifteen specially commissioned chapters by distinguished international contributors enrich the debate inaugurated by McDowell and Dreyfus, taking it in a number of different and important directions. Fundamental philosophical problems discussed include: the embodied mind, subjectivity and self-consciousness, intentionality, rationality, practical skills, human agency, and the history of philosophy from Kant to Hegel to Heidegger to Merleau-Ponty. With the addition of these outstanding contributions, Mind, Reason, and Being-in-the-World is essential reading for students and scholars of analytic philosophy and phenomenology

An introductory chapter provides valuable context on the governance of the internal market, its evolution, and the theories behind its key principles. Each of the freedoms is then dealt with in turn, covering goods, persons, services, and capital, before moving on to discuss harmonization, the regulation of the internal market, and its future. Additional useful detail is captured in footnotes, while further reading lists provide support for independent study and research. This thorough coverage is fully supported by engaging case studies throughout the book which place the law in context, helping you to understand the complexities of the subject and exploring the practical implications of EU law. Diagrams, flowcharts, and tables offer further detail and illustrate key ideas and processes in an easily accessible format, while chapter overviews and a clear structure ensure readers remain on track and can find information quickly.
