Book excerpt: http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/gplh3 http://www.epubli.de/shop/buch/48746 "Spanish colonial law, derecho indiano, has since the early 20th century been a vigorous subdiscipline of legal history. One of great figures in the field, the Argentinian legal historian Víctor Tau Anzoátegui, published in 1997 his Nuevos horizontes en el estudio histórico del derecho indiano. The book, in which Tau addressed seminal methodological questions setting tone for the discipline’s future orientation, proved to be the starting point for an important renewal of the discipline. Tau drew on the writings of legal historians, such as Paolo Grossi, Antonio Manuel Hespanha, and Bartolomé Clavero. Tau emphasized the development of legal history in connection to what he called “the posture superseding rational and statutory state law.” The following features of normativity were now in need of increasing scholarly attention: the autonomy of different levels of social organization, the different modes of normative creativity, the many different notions of law and justice, the position of the jurist as an artifact of law, and the casuistic character of the legal decisions. Moreover, Tau highlighted certain areas of Spanish colonial law that he thought deserved more attention than they had hitherto received. One of these was the history of the learned jurist: the letrado was to be seen in his social, political, economic, and bureaucratic context. The Argentinian legal historian called for more scholarly works on book history, and he thought that provincial and local histories of Spanish colonial law had been studied too little. Within the field of historical science as a whole, these ideas may not have been revolutionary, but they contributed in an important way to bringing the study of Spanish colonial law up-to-date. It is beyond doubt that Tau’s programmatic visions have been largely fulfilled in the past two decades. Equally manifest is, however, that new challenges to legal history and Spanish colonial law have emerged. The challenges of globalization are felt both in the historical and legal sciences, and not the least in the field of legal history. They have also brought major topics (back) on to the scene, such as the importance of religious normativity within the normative setting of societies. These challenges have made scholars aware of the necessity to reconstruct the circulation of ideas, juridical practices, and researchers are becoming more attentive to the intense cultural translation involved in the movement of legal ideas and institutions from one context to another. Not least, the growing consciousness and strong claims to reconsider colonial history from the premises of postcolonial scholarship expose the discipline to an unseen necessity of reconsidering its very foundational concepts. What concept of law do we need for our historical studies when considering multi-normative settings? How do we define the spatial dimension of our work? How do we analyze the entanglements in legal history? Until recently, Spanish colonial law attracted little interest from non-Hispanic scholars, and its results were not seen within a larger global context. In this respect, Spanish colonial law was hardly different from research done on legal history of the European continent or common law. Spanish colonial law has, however, recently become a topic of interest beyond the Hispanic world. The field is now increasingly seen in the context of “global legal history,” while the old and the new research results are often put into a comparative context of both European law of the early Modern Period and other colonial legal orders. In this volume, scholars from different parts of the Western world approach Spanish colonial law from the new perspectives of contemporary legal historical research."

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of European Legal History written by Heikki Pihlajamäki and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 1217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European law, including both civil law and common law, has gone through several major phases of expansion in the world. European legal history thus also is a history of legal transplants and cultural borrowings, which national legal histories as products of nineteenth-century historicism have until recently largely left unconsidered. The Handbook of European Legal History supplies its readers with an overview of the different phases of European legal history in the light of today's state-of-the-art research, by offering cutting-edge views on research questions currently emerging in international discussions. The Handbook takes a broad approach to its subject matter both nationally and systemically. Unlike traditional European legal histories, which tend to concentrate on "heartlands" of Europe (notably Italy and Germany), the Europe of the Handbook is more versatile and nuanced, taking into consideration the legal developments in Europe's geographical "fringes" such as Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The Handbook covers all major time periods, from the ancient Greek law to the twenty-first century. Contributors include acknowledged leaders in the field as well as rising talents, representing a wide range of legal systems, methodologies, areas of expertise and research agendas.

This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/gplh6http://www.epubli.de/shop/buch/53894"The spatiotemporal conjunction is a fundamental aspect of the juridical reflection on the historicity of law. Despite the fact that it seems to represent an issue directly connected with the question of where legal history is heading today, it still has not been the object of a focused inquiry. Against this background, the book’s proposal consists in rethinking key confluences related to this problem in order to provide coordinates for a collective understanding and dialogue. The aim of this volume, however, is not to offer abstract methodological considerations, but rather to rely both on concrete studies, out of which a reflection on this conjunction emerges, as well as on the reconstruction of certain research lines featuring a spatiotemporal component. This analytical approach makes a contribution by providing some suggestions for the employment of space and time as coordinates for legal history. Indeed, contrary to those historiographical attitudes reflecting a monistic conception of space and time (as well as a Eurocentric approach), the book emphasises the need for a delocalized global perspective. In general terms, the essays collected in this book intend to take into account the multiplicity of the spatiotemporal confines, the flexibility of those instruments that serve to create chronologies and scenarios, as well as certain processes of adaptation of law to different times and into different spaces. The spatiotemporal dynamism enables historians not only to detect new perspectives and dimensions in foregone themes, but also to achieve new and compelling interpretations of legal history. As far as the relationship between space and law is concerned, the book analyses experiences in which space operates as a determining factor of law, e.g. in terms of a field of action for law. Moreover, it outlines the attempted scales of spatiality in order to develop legal historical research. With reference to the connection between time and law, the volume sketches the possibility of considering the factor of time, not just as a descriptive tool, but as an ascriptive moment (quasi an inner feature) of a legal problem, thus making it possible to appreciate the synchronic aspects of the ‘juridical experience’. As a whole, the volume aims to present spatiotemporality as a challenge for legal history. Indeed, reassessing the value of the spatiotemporal coordinates for legal history implies thinking through both the thematic and methodological boundaries of the discipline."

Book excerpt: This collection brings together a group of international legal historians to further scholarship in different areas of comparative and regional legal history. Authors are drawn from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to produce new insights into the relationship between law and society across time and space. The book is divided into three parts: legal history and legal culture across borders, constitutional experiences in global perspective, and the history of judicial experiences. The three themes, and the chapters corresponding to each, provide a balance between public law and private law topics, and reflect a variety of methodologies, both empirical and theoretical. The volume highlights the gains that may be made by comparing the development of law in different countries and different time periods. The book will be of interest to an international readership in Legal History, Comparative Law, Law and Society, and History.

This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La problemática y el análisis de la exclusión social constituyen una de las principales preocupaciones y retos actuales y, a la vez, una de las principales cuestiones que aborda la Unión Europea, dentro de la denominada “Estrategia Europa 2020”. La trascedencia y relieve de este tema hacen que esté presente en las agendas nacionales e internacionales de los principales actores institucionales y políticos, debido a las repercusiones que la exclusión social tiene sobre todo Estado que persiga, como meta y orientación, su cualificación como Estado social y democrático.La monografía que el lector tiene ahora en sus manos, cuenta con un especial atractivo e interés, por las aportaciones que recoge de los dos autores, que reflexionaron sobre esta cuestión en el marco del I Congreso Internacional sobre la exclusión social: situación actual desde el Derecho Comparado, que ha servido como foro de debate sobre las causas de la exclusión social, de los colectivos más vulnerables, y de las medidas jurídico-laborales de prevención y de solución de la exclusión social, tanto en el ámbito español estatal y autonómico, como en el europeo e iberoamericano.La presente obra colectiva se centra en el análisis interdisciplinar, llevado a cabo por expertos laboralistas y constitucionalistas, tanto españoles como foráneos, de las medidas jurídico-laborales contra la exclusión social en el marco del Estado social y democrático de Derecho. La monografía que ahora ve la luz constituye una publicación de extraordinaria utilidad y absoluta actualidad para los profesionales y estudiosos de esta materia.

Download or read book Exclusi n y diversidad en las personas sin hogar An lisis sociol gico de procesos e itinerarios written by Domingo Carbonero Muñoz and published by Ed. Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El empleo de la tipología E.T.H.O.S. (European Typology of Homelessness and Housing exclusion) y la tipología de vínculos sociales han servido en el análisis de los problemas relativos a las condiciones de vida y de la exclusión residencial en las personas sin hogar. Mediante un enfoque mixto se ha tratado de abordar estas cuestiones en un estudio sobre las trayectorias de las personas sin hogar. Por un lado, el análisis de los datos cuantitativos ha servido para indagar en los factores demográficos, los eventos ocurridos durante la infancia, las causas referidas a la pérdida del alojamiento, las condiciones de vida y los problemas referidos a la exclusión residencial. Algunos de los hallazgos obtenidos en esta fase de la investigación señalan las diferencias en las necesidades, resultando elementos importantes para la provisión y evaluación de servicios de protección social. Por otro lado, los análisis cualitativos de los datos proveen una dimensión longitudinal y biográfica de las trayectorias de las personas sin hogar y de las causas de sus itinerarios, siendo útiles en el estudio de las diferencias internas de esta población. Finalmente, las conclusiones del libro tratan de ofrecer pistas a los lectores sobre los cambios en las dinámicas de exclusión social, las posibles políticas de prevención y las decisiones metodológicas empleadas.
