Abstract:

Cette thèse met en lumière l’apport considérable du juge constitutionnel de la 5ème République nigérienne, dans l’œuvre de la protection audacieuse du principe de la suprématie de la Constitution (du 09 août 1999). L’exposition du schéma organisationnel de la justice constitutionnelle s’opère sans préjudice du nécessaire rappel de l’histoire socio-politique mouvementée du Niger, qui n’est pas étrangère dans l’originalité qui fonde le modèle nigérien. L’évocation de l’activité constitutionnelle va s’atteler à la mise en évidence des grandes décisions de la Cour, aussi bien dans le cadre de la d

Abstract:

Héritage de la Révolution française, l’expression « pouvoir régulateur » désigne l’idée, récurrente en droit constitutionnel, d’une tierce instance spécifiquement chargée d’assurer le fonctionnement régulier des institutions politiques. D’abord confié à un organe ad hoc spécialement créé à cette fin, le pouvoir régulateur devient au XIXe siècle l’apanage d’un monarque constitutionnel idéalisé. Strictement cantonné dans la sphère institutionnelle et ainsi éloigné du gouvernement comme des querelles partisanes, le roi serait uniquement chargé de maintenir l’équilibre entre les pouvoirs actifs.

Although the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA)1 provides for instances where administrative decisions and actions are reviewable, decisions are most likely to be reviewed based on their irrationality. However, there is still uncertainties as to what exactly constitute an administrative action and when is an administrative decision irrational and therefore reviewable. In other words, what is the scope of rationality of administrative actions? There seems to be more questions than there are answers on this aspect, this is mostly caused by the fact that executive as another organ of

Abstract:

Comparative studies of the European Union have been hampered by the fact that many political scientists treat the EU as a ‘sui generis’ entity, with no historical precedent or comparative example. Those who view the EU as something closer to a state than to an international organisation have struggled to find a workable definition encompassing the many, seemingly contradictory, aspects of the European system. This dissertation therefore begins by asserting the need for a new definition of the European Union, one that allows for comparison within a theoretical framework to advance our understan

This dissertation seeks to explain why the Colombian Constitutional Court disallowed a referendum to extend presidential terms in 2010, when it allowed a similar reform in 2005. There are three elements to this decision that make it remarkable for institutional theory and comparative politics: 1) The sitting president, Álvaro Uribe, was an extremely popular and powerful president, who used his transformative capacities to initiate a far-reaching reform agenda; 2) the Court’s authority appreciably increased between 2005 and 2010; 3) the jurisprudence of the Court involved a doctrine that is not

The idea that Canada was transformed into a "constitutional democracy" in 1982 is widely believed by the public, yet rarely examined in academic literature.

It concludes that if the public expected such a transition, it has yet to be made.

At the same time, it negated the intention of Parliament which represents majoritarian interests. The Constitutional Court is, in contra-distinction with Parliament, unelected.

Recusal, or judicial disqualification, occurs when a judge abstains from a particular legal proceeding because of a personal conflict of interest. All levels of the judicial system and some administrative agencies in the United States apply the concept of recusal, but this study focuses on the United States Supreme Court. Title 28 of the United States Code provides standards (not obligatory by legal means) on when Supreme Court Justices should recuse themselves. But Supreme Court Justices are themselves the arbiters of their own recusal and often these substantive standards are not met. The me

Abstract:

El derecho al trabajo es considerado un derecho humano, el que se encuentra reconocido en diferentes instrumentos normativos de categoría internacional y nacional; entonces debería estar bastante claro que son invulnerables e irrenunciables, pero como se verá más adelante pasa todo lo contrario. El tema de investigación es relevante, ya que, el Estado como empleador, debería ser el primero en respetar los derechos de sus trabajadores y hacer cumplir la normativa laboral. La Constitución Política del Perú de 1993, considera al Tribunal Constitucional como órgano supremo de interpretación y co

Abstract:

Publisher version<br>The rule of law as a foundational constitutional value constrains the exercise of public power but the precise limits of the constraints it sets are not well defined. In Masethla v President of the Republic of South Africa, the majority of the Constitutional Court opted for an interpretation of this value that frees the President from adherence to the demands of procedural fairness when exercising certain constitutional powers. This note will investigate the soundness of that interpretation against the background of theoretical expositions of the rule of law and earlier Co
