Abstract:

The argument of the present thesis is that the withdrawal of religion as a source of legitimacy raises the issue of the foundations of the secular state and how the secular state has responded to this "legitimacy gap". The hypothesis developed here is that the "secular" should not be seen as separating culture (including religion) and politics, but rather in terms of how these two dimensions can be linked. Max Weber's theory of legitimacy and social contract theories are based on a move from traditional forms of authority towards modern forms of legitimacy, but do not provide a complete answer

Abstract:

This thesis begins with a historical analysis of the legal precedent which has granted the federal government exceptional power over immigration legislation, and demonstrates how that authority has expanded in the last half-century. It then proposes an alternative scheme which would embrace immigration federalism and allow states a larger, but still closely regulated, role in legislation over aliens.

In light of increasing mandates to incorporate close reading of primary source historical documents at the elementary level, this study explored the reading difficulty level of the US Constitution with preservice elementary teachers using a traditional cloze assessment procedure. While best practice pedagogy of social studies has long included thoughtful reading of primary sources, new language arts guidelines situate the analysis of primary documents within formulaic quantifiable frameworks, often problematic to the pre-service teacher.

Abstract:

Over the few years that led to the creation of the constitutional law of the Islamic republic of Iran, I (the author) noticed a series of ambiguous and often contradictory points in its contents. Discovering the roots and the causes of such contradictions became my priority. After the Iranian Revolution (1979) intellectuals were confronted with very new experiences. For example, Shi'ah has always been a minority in the history of Islam. Therefore, Shi 'ah Fuqaha never experienced direct rule over people. Direct pressures from this new experience brought about the desire and the need for a shif

Apparu au milieu des années 1960 dans le Pacifique Sud, l’Etat associé est une forme de l’Etat singulière. A l’origine conçu par les Nations Unies comme une voie de décolonisation intermédiaire entre l’indépendance et l’intégration à un autre Etat, l’Etat associé est devenu une forme d’organisation politique pérenne choisie par cinq territoires de sorte à affirmer leur identité propre tout en partageant des liens privilégiés avec un autre Etat, l’Etat partenaire.

Abstract:

In many countries, citizens have the power to propose new laws oramendments to their constitutions by popular initiatives. Provided that they have a special legitimacy, they are often regulated by different procedures to the legislation enacted by the legislature and may be used by their proponents to avoid the restrictions that the “ordinary” legislation is subject to. Recently, this has led that several popular initiatives which have come into conflict with the rights of minorities, fundamental rights of other affected groups, and other constitutional guarantees have been submitted.

Land has always been the focus of public debates among scholars, policy makers and local populations due to its scarcity in face of population explosion and rapid urban growth. This is particularly so in the case of China. In order to support an unprecedented rate of urbanization, the institutional mechanism of land expropriation has been widely adopted by the government of the People's Republic of China over the last three decades. However, the effect of this institutional mechanism in rural China has become increasingly controversial. On one side, it is one of the most powerful tools to a

Instead, it conceptualises the translation of indigenous rights into urban policies as a complex process in which a multiplicity of social actors – including government officials and urban indigenous groups – are

In contrast indigenous law is regarded as a servient system.
