This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En este libro, el profesor Allan R. Brewer-Carías estudia el funciona-miento de la Justicia Constitucional en el mundo contemporáneo a través del análisis de catorce casos significativos que han sido decididos recientemente por sendos tribunales constitucionales en los Estados Unidos, el Reino Unido, Honduras, Venezuela, República Dominicana, Nicaragua, Paraguay, El Salvador, y Suráfrica, en los que se ha manifestado la particular relación que existe entre el Juez Constitucional y el Poder. La Justicia Constitucional, como pieza esencial del Estado democrático de derecho, es el instrumento por excelencia para asegurar la supremacía de la Constitución, garantizar los derechos fundamentales y controlar las violaciones a la Constitución que puedan cometer los órganos de los Poderes del Estado. Por tanto, esencialmente, la Justicia Constitucional tiene por objeto el control del Poder para asegurar en nombre del pueblo la vigencia de su Constitución. Es, por tanto, hasta cierto punto, el sustituto de la revolución, en el sentido de que, si no existiese un sistema de Justicia Constitucional en los Estados democráticos, ante un gobierno ilegítimo o que viole la Constitución el único camino que tendría el pueblo sería el derecho a la rebelión. Para que la Justicia Constitucional pueda, por tanto, enfrentarse al Poder y someterlo a la Constitución en nombre del pueblo, la condición más esencial es que tiene que estar a cargo de un órgano autónomo e independiente. Solo así puede controlar al Poder; de lo contrario, se torna en un órgano controlado por el Poder y, por tanto, en el más vil instrumento de éste para violar impunemente la Constitución. Los casos judiciales analizados en este libro muestran precisamente la oscilación que existe entre Jueces Constitucionales impartiendo justicia, controlando al Poder y, con toda autonomía e independencia, defendiendo la Constitución; y Jueces Constitucionales controlados por el Poder, sin autonomía alguna, despreciando la Constitución. En todos los casos analizados se resolvieron cuestiones constitucionales de variada naturaleza, pero de particular importancia en los respecticos países, que pusieron a prueba la independencia y autonomía de los Jueces Constitucionales, que en definitiva es el signo esencial para que realmente exista un Estado de derecho y un régimen democrático".

Download or read book Courts Politics and Constitutional Law written by Martin Belov and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the judicialization of politics, and the politicization of courts, affect representative democracy, rule of law, and separation of powers. This volume critically assesses the phenomena of judicialization of politics and politicization of the judiciary. It explores the rising impact of courts on key constitutional principles, such as democracy and separation of powers, which is paralleled by increasing criticism of this influence from both liberal and illiberal perspectives. The book also addresses the challenges to rule of law as a principle, preconditioned on independent and powerful courts, which are triggered by both democratic backsliding and the mushrooming of populist constitutionalism and illiberal constitutional regimes. Presenting a wide range of case studies, the book will be a valuable resource for students and academics in constitutional law and political science seeking to understand the increasingly complex relationships between the judiciary, executive and legislature.
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book Stop Thief written by Peter Linebaugh and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this majestic tour de force, celebrated historian Peter Linebaugh takes aim at the thieves of land, the polluters of the seas, the ravagers of the forests, the despoilers of rivers, and the removers of mountaintops. Scarcely a society has existed on the face of the earth that has not had commoning at its heart. “Neither the state nor the market,” say the planetary commoners. These essays kindle the embers of memory to ignite our future commons. From Thomas Paine to the Luddites, from Karl Marx—who concluded his great study of capitalism with the enclosure of commons—to the practical dreamer William Morris—who made communism into a verb and advocated communizing industry and agriculture—to the 20th-century communist historian E.P. Thompson, Linebaugh brings to life the vital commonist tradition. He traces the red thread from the great revolt of commoners in 1381 to the enclosures of Ireland, and the American commons, where European immigrants who had been expelled from their commons met the immense commons of the native peoples and the underground African-American urban commons. Illuminating these struggles in this indispensable collection, Linebaugh reignites the ancient cry, “STOP, THIEF!”
Download or read book The Global Commons written by Susan J. Buck and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-06-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vast areas of valuable resources unfettered by legal rights have, for centuries, been the central target of human exploitation and appropriation. The global commons -- Antarctica, the high seas and deep seabed minerals, the atmosphere, and space -- have remained exceptions only because access has been difficult or impossible, and the technology for successful extraction has been lacking. Now, technology has caught up with desire, and management regimes are needed to guide human use of these important resource domains. In The Global Commons, Susan Buck considers the history of human interactions with each of the global commons areas and provides a concise yet thorough account of the evolution of management regimes for each area. She explains historical underpinnings of international law, examines the stakeholders involved, and discusses current policy and problems associated with it. Buck applies key analytical concepts drawn from institutional analysis and regime theory to examine how legal and political concerns have affected the evolution of management regimes for the global commons. She presents in-depth case studies of each of the four regimes, outlining the historical evolution of the commons -- development of interest in exploiting the resource domain; conflicts among nations over the use of the commons; and efforts to design institutions to control access to the domains and to regulate their use -- and concluding with a description of the management regime that eventually emerged from the informal and formal negotiations. The Global Commons provides a clear, useful introduction to the subject that will be of interest to general readers as well as to students in international relations and international environmental law, and in environmental law and policy generally.
