Download or read book The Constitution of France written by Sophie Boyron and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The centrepiece of this work is the French Constitution of 1958, portrayed by the author as an innovative hybrid construct whose arrival brought the constitutional stability that had eluded France for centuries. But the creation of the 1958 Constitution was not an isolated act; it represents part of an evolutionary process which continues to this day. Even though it is codified, the constitution of the Fifth Republic has evolved so markedly that some commentators have dubbed the present institutional balance the 'Sixth Republic'. It is this dynamic of the constitution which this book seeks to explain. At the same time the book shows how the French constitution has not developed in isolation, but reflects to some extent the global movement of ideas, ideas which sometimes challenge the very foundations of the 1958 Constitution.

Download or read book Rethinking Nordic Courts written by Laura Ervo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines whether a distinctly Nordic procedural or court culture exists and what the hallmarks of that culture are. Do Nordic courts and court proceedings share a distinct set of ideas and values that in combination constitute the core of a regional legal culture? How do Europeanisation, privatisation, diversification and digitisation influence courts and court proceedings in the Nordic countries? The book traces the genesis and formation of Nordic courts and justice systems to provide a richer comprehension of contemporary Nordic legal culture, and an understanding of the relationship between legal cultural stability and change. In answering these questions, the book provides models for conceptualising procedural culture. Nordic procedural culture has partly developed organically and is partly also the product of deliberate efforts to maintain a certain level of alignment between the Nordic countries. Studying Nordic cooperation enables us to gain a deeper understanding of current regional, European and global harmonisation processes within procedural law. The influx of supranational European law, increased use of alternative dispute resolution and growth in regulation density that produces a conflict between specialisation and coherence, have tangible impact on the role of courts in a democratic society, the form of court proceedings and court structures. This book examines whether and why some trends exert more tangible, or perhaps simply more perceptible, influence on procedural culture than others.

Download or read book Procedural Autonomy Across Europe written by Bart Krans and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the concept of procedural autonomy of Member States in the light of EU law. Does procedural autonomy still adequately describe the powers of national lawmakers and courts to design their civil procedural systems or is it misleading? For the last few decades, Europe has been in a period of increasing Europeanisation of civil procedure. Increased powers of the EU have resulted in hard law, case law and soft law that regulate many types of domestic and cross-border civil cases. These rules have both direct and indirect implications for national procedural law.Gaining insights from selected European jurisdictions (Belgium, England and Wales, Finland, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden), this book explores the concept of procedural autonomy from different angles: Is procedural autonomy an adequate term? How is procedural autonomy understood nationally, and is there variation among the Member States? Do some types of EU law or specific characteristics of EU civil procedural law restrain procedural autonomy more than other? How can these differences be explained and is it possible to identify the sources causing such discrepancies?Procedural Autonomy across Europe is a stimulating discussion for lawyers with an interest in civil procedure.

Download or read book The Constitution of Japan written by Shigenori Matsui and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan boasts the second largest economy in the world and almost two thousand years of history. Yet, its first modern constitution, the Meiji Constitution, was not enacted until comparatively recently (1889). Since then, following World War II, Japan adopted its current Constitution, the Japanese Constitution of 1946. This book is designed to explain the outline of Japan's Constitution, together with a number of its unique characteristics and to offer an historical background and context which help explain its significance. Major topics covered include the constitutional history of Japan, fundamental principles of the Constitution, the people and the Emperor, the Diet and legislative power, Cabinet and executive power, and the Judiciary and judicial power. Also discussed is the protection of fundamental human rights, individual rights - including freedom of expression,economic freedoms, and social rights - pacifism and national defence, and the constitutional amendment and reform. Although the Japanese Constitution was enacted under the strong influence of the United States Constitution, many of its features are very different. For instance the existence of an Emperor, the long dominance of a conservative party over the Government, the relatively strong power of government bureaucrats, the absence of a leadership role in the Prime Minister, the small role the judiciary play in solving constitutional disputes and the struggle over national defence. Written in an accessible style and comprehensive in content, the reader will find this account of the constitutional law of Japan both unique and stimulating.

Download or read book Le principe de non discrimination l preuve des rapports entre les droits written by Manuela Brillat and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appréhendée aussi comme un idéal, l'égalité se décline juridiquement à travers le principe de non-discrimination. Etudié par le prisme du droit européen, il se révèle être un exemple significatif des difficultés mais aussi des potentialités des relations entre les deux principaux espaces juridiques européens : le Conseil de l'Europe et l'Union européenne. La Cour européenne des droits de l'Homme, le Comité européen des droits sociaux ainsi que la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne affichent une apparente homogénéité derrière laquelle se cachent des réalités différentes qui fragilisent le principe de non-discrimination et affaiblissent son rôle pourtant central dans le renforcement du droit européen des droits de l'Homme. Ce principe doit ainsi être redéfini afin de retrouver une pleine efficacité en tenant compte du fait que son interprétation ne peut différer d'un espace européen à l'autre. Ce défi majeur conduit à analyser en quoi consiste précisément, pour l'Europe, le caractère axiologique du principe de non-discrimination.

Download or read book La non discrimination entre les Europ ens written by Francette Fines and published by Editions A. Pedone. This book was released on 2012 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "La non-discrimination est l'un des principes matriciels des constructions européennes car s'il est évidemment structurant pour l'Union européenne, il l'est aussi et de plus en plus pour le droit de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme. Principe cardinal de nombre de politiques européennes, la multiplicité des thèmes qu'il recouvre et des questions qu'il implique est grande. Principe classique, il se transforme et s'enrichit sans cesse de nouvelles dimensions. L'approche privilégiée par le présent ouvrage est donc volontairement transversale pour tenter de cerner au mieux les contours et les multiples aspects contemporains du principe de non-discrimination. Issu d'un colloque qui s'est tenu à Bordeaux les 7 et 8 avril 2011, il réunit les contributions d'universitaires et de praticiens, de français et d'étrangers, de publicistes et de privatistes : Ségolène Barbou Desplaces, Myriam Benlolo-Carabot, Gwenaëlle Calves, Jean-Yves Carlier, Olivier Dubos, Édouard Dubout, Jacqueline Dutheil de la Rochère, Francette Fines, Francesca Ippolito, Jean-Philippe Lhernould, Catherine Gauthier, Marie Gautier, Denis Martin, Sophie Robin-Olivier, David Szymczak et Baptiste Tranchant."
