Download or read book National Constitutions in European and Global Governance Democracy Rights the Rule of Law written by Anneli Albi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 1522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume book, published open access, brings together leading scholars of constitutional law from twenty-nine European countries to revisit the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to the European and transnational level. It offers important insights into three areas. First, it explores how constitutions reflect the transfer of powers from domestic to European and global institutions. Secondly, it revisits substantive constitutional values, such as the protection of constitutional rights, the rule of law, democratic participation and constitutional review, along with constitutional court judgments that tackle the protection of these rights and values in the transnational context, e.g. with regard to the Data Retention Directive, the European Arrest Warrant, the ESM Treaty, and EU and IMF austerity measures. The responsiveness of the ECJ regarding the above rights and values, along with the standard of protection, is also assessed. Thirdly, challenges in the context of global governance in relation to judicial review, democratic control and accountability are examined. On a broader level, the contributors were also invited to reflect on what has increasingly been described as the erosion or ‘twilight’ of constitutionalism, or a shift to a thin version of the rule of law, democracy and judicial review in the context of Europeanisation and globalisation processes. The national reports are complemented by a separately published comparative study, which identifies a number of broader trends and challenges that are shared across several Member States and warrant wider discussion. The research for this publication and the comparative study were carried out within the framework of the ERC-funded project ‘The Role and Future of National Constitutions in European and Global Governance’. The book is aimed at scholars, researchers, judges and legal advisors working on the interface between national constitutional law and EU and transnational law. The extradition cases are also of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of criminal law. Anneli Albi is Professor of European Law at the University of Kent, United Kingdom. Samo Bardutzky is Assistant Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Download or read book Riforma penale Cartabia le novita del decreto correttivo written by AA.VV. and published by Wolters Kluwer Italia. This book was released on 2024-10-11 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’ebook analizza, in chiave critica e approfondita, tutte le novità introdotte dal cd. correttivo Cartabia - D.Lgs. 19 marzo 2024, n. 31 - e i risvolti applicativi della normativa novellata. Il decreto ha introdotto modifiche ed integrazioni al D.Lgs. n. 150/2022, attuativo della c.d. ‘‘riforma Cartabia’,’ al fine di adeguare maggiormente gli istituti interessati dalla riforma ai principi e ai criteri direttivi della legge-delega (L. n. 134/20213), anche attraverso l’appianamento di difetti di coordinamento, e di favorire la semplificazione di alcuni meccanismi procedimentali e processuali. Non mancano interventi di peso, come quelli concernenti l’udienza di sentencing di cui all’art. 545-bis c.p.p. e la riforma dei meccanismi di sblocco della c.d. ‘‘stasi’’ al termine delle indagini preliminari. Composto di undici articoli - che introducono modifiche al codice penale, al codice di procedura penale e ad alcune leggi complementari e contengono norme transitorie – il correttivo interviene in tema di: pene sostitutive delle pene detentive brevi: i correttivi apportati seguono tre linee di intervento che interessano la fase di accesso alle pene sostitutive (meccanismo di sentencing, disciplina del giudizio di appello e concordato con rinuncia ai motivi di appello) e la revoca del beneficio per condanne sopravvenute; indagini preliminari: i profili di novità si articolano su più piani che si intersecano nel rinnovato sbilanciamento del processo nella fase delle indagini, contribuendo a realizzare quello che è stato definito il processo “a trazione anteriore”; processo in assenza: si tratta di integrazioni oggettivamente necessarie per garantire una maggior coerenza sistematica della normativa e porre rimedio ad una serie di difficoltà emerse nella prassi; procedimenti speciali: accanto a modifiche di mero coordinamento in tema di giudizio immediato, rito abbreviato e procedimento per decreto direttissimo, si collocano modifiche più incisive in punto di rito abbreviato e procedimento per decreto; presentazione dell’atto di impugnazione: per risolvere criticità pratiche, l’art. 10 D.Lgs. n. 31/2024 dispone che, fino a quando non sarà obbligatorio il deposito telematico degli atti, il procuratore generale presso la corte di appello può depositare l’atto di impugnazione nella cancelleria della corte di appello nella cui circoscrizione ha sede il giudice che ha emesso il provvedimento impugnato; giustizia riparativa: alcuni ritocchi alle previsioni del codice di rito nel segno della complementarità con la giustizia penale; difetti formali e di coordinamento: il decreto semplifica e di risolve alcuni problemi di coordinamento emersi in fase di prima applicazione della riforma ‘‘Cartabia’’, tenendo conto anche delle segnalazioni provenienti dal mondo accademico, dall’avvocatura e dalla magistratura. Gli articoli sono tratti dalle riviste “Giurisprudenza italiana” e “Diritto penale e processo”.

Download or read book Il nuovo processo penale Giudizio impugnazioni esecuzione e giustizia riparativa written by Renato Bricchetti and published by La Tribuna. This book was released on 2024-04-22T16:25:00+02:00 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il codice di procedura penale è stato oggetto negli ultimi anni di numerosi e ravvicinati interventi da parte del legislatore che hanno messo, e continuano a mettere, l’operatore del diritto di fronte alla necessità di un costante e attento aggiornamento e di uno studio coordinato della stratificazione normativa che è venuta in essere. Per questo è forte il bisogno di un volume che chiuda, in modo chiaro e ordinato, la stagione delle riforme del codice di rito cominciata con la legge n. 134/2021 e il decreto delegato n. 150/2022 e proseguita con un’incessante produzione normativa fino ai più recenti provvedimenti tra cui la L. n. 168/2023 per il contrasto della violenza sulle donne e della violenza domestica e, da ultimo, il D.Lgs. 19 marzo 2024, n. 31, Disposizioni integrative e correttive del decreto legislativo 10 ottobre 2022, n. 150. Questo Volume analizza gli interventi in materia di dibattimento, sentenza di condanna, procedimento davanti al tribunale in composizione monocratica, impugnazioni ordinarie e straordinarie, esecuzione delle pene, con attenzione al nuovo sistema di pene sostitutive, e giustizia riparativa. Non un commentario delle singole norme modificate ma uno strumento che si caratterizza per chiarezza, completezza e rigore tecnico coniugato con l’essenzialità e che guida il professionista tra le questioni più rilevanti ed evidenzia quelle più problematiche, fornendo le chiavi di lettura necessarie per “il nuovo codice”. Focus essenziale del testo è l’interpretazione giurisprudenziale formatasi in questi anni e non ancora assestata, con un risalto particolare ai contrasti interpretativi con cui il lettore deve confrontarsi e alle pronunce della Corte costituzionale, non solo dichiarative di illegittimità.

Download or read book The Legal Order written by Santi Romano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1917 (Part 1) and 1918 (Part 2), with a second edition in 1946, this is the first English translation of Santi Romano’s classic work, L’ordinamento giuridico (The Legal Order). The main focus of The Legal Order is the notion of institution, which Romano considers to be both the core and distinguishing feature of law. After criticising accounts of the nature of law centred on notions of rule, coercion or authority, he offers a compelling conception, not merely of law as an institution, but of the institution as ‘the first, original and essential manifestation of law’. Romano advances a definition of a legal institution as any group who share rules within a bounded context: for example, a family, a firm, a factory, a prison, an association, a church, an illegal organisation, a state, the community of states, and so on. Therefore, this understanding of legal institutionalism at the same time provides a ground-breaking theory of legal pluralism whereby ‘there are as many legal orders as institutions’. The acme of a jurisprudential current long overlooked in the Anglophone environment (Romano’s work is highly regarded in France, Germany, Spain and South America, as well as in Italy), The Legal Order not only proposes what Carl Schmitt described as a ‘very significant theory’. More importantly, it offers precious insights for a thorough rethinking of the relationship between law and society in today’s world.

Download or read book Contract Children written by Daniela Danna and published by ibidem-Verlag / ibidem Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrogate motherhood is expanding all over the world. Debates rage over how public policy should consider the signing away of the parental rights of birth mothers in favor of a 'commissioning' couple or an individual. In this book, Daniela Danna describes the situation in English-speaking countries and worldwide, from California to Greece, presenting the legal alternatives regulating (or not) these peculiar exchanges. Should surrogacy remain a private agreement? Should it be treated as an enforceable contract? Are surrogate mothers workers? What happens inside the countries that have chosen different ways of handling this new and controversial matter? And, the most important question of all: How can we live in this era of new techno-medical possibilities and try to stay human? Can we resist commodification in the field of human relations concerning procreation? Contract Children discusses the different ways available to obtain a child through surrogate motherhood. It is fundamental reading for anyone wanting to be involved in the surrogacy process. It gives prospective surrogate mothers and infertile couples the background information necessary for their own informed decision. It is also an essential instrument for policy makers and activists in the field of women's rights, social justice, and children's rights. The question of how to publicly deal with surrogate motherhood touches upon our social vision of motherhood, ultimately marking the position of women in contemporary society.

Download or read book The Power to Arrest written by Robin S. Engel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-06 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful volume examines key research questions concerning police decision to arrest as well as police-led diversion. The authors critically evaluate the tentative answers that empirical evidence provides to those questions, and suggest areas for future inquiry. Nearly seven decades of empirical study have provided extensive knowledge regarding police use of arrest. However, this research highlights important gaps in our understanding of factors that shape police decision-making and what is required to alter current police practice. Reviewing this research base, this brief takes stock of what is known empirically about all aspects related to the use of arrests, providing important insights on the knowledge needed to make evidence-based policy decisions moving forward. With the potential to better impact policy and programs for alternatives to arrest, this brief will appeal to researchers and practitioners in evidence-based policing and police decision-making, as well as those interested in alternatives to arrest and related fields such as public policy.
