Abstract:
In late 2007, President of Mexico Felipe Calderon Hinojosa implemented a policy of direct confrontation with crime organizations, this decision generated a climate of widespread insecurity and increased high-impact crimes such as arbitrary executions, torture and forced disappearan- ces. In this context of violence some groups of society hired paramilitaries in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León and created self-defenses in some cities of Michoacán to protect their rights. This problem exhibited the incapacity of the State to provide public security and the situation of some territories formally under the rule of law but materially controlled by the organized crime.<br>A finales de 2007, el presidente de México, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, implementó una política de confrontación directa con la delincuencia organizada. Esta decisión propició un clima de inseguridad generalizada y se incrementaron los delitos de alto impacto como las ejecuciones arbitrarias, la tortura y la desaparición forzada. En este contexto de violencia, algunos grupos de la sociedad recurrieron a la seguridad privada a través de la contratación de paramilitares en San Pedro Garza García, en Nuevo León, y la formación de autodefensas en algunos municipios de Michoacán.  Este problema exhibió la incapacidad del Estado para proveer seguridad pública y la situación de algunos territorios que formalmente estaban gobernados por los poderes constituidos, pero materialmente estaban subyugados en un orden normativo paralelo contrario a laconstitución y, en algunas ocasiones, controlados totalmente por el crimen organizado.

Full text
Abstract:
Can the reflection of legal scholars concerning the rule of law be enriched by the cultural conception of Freud about law? This article develops this question, based on how the rule of law was conceived in modernity, from a reading of the work of Hume and Rousseau, in order to show the potential compatibility that this conception had with the later work of Freud. Thus, Freud’s thinking about law is presented as a dialectical or paradoxical civilizatory force, restraining the passions even though they drive it, from a reading of his work Totem and Taboo. In this reconstruction, the genealogy of law is portrayed, from his story of the primal horde, and unconscious dynamics behind the law itself. Then the uses that various legal scholars have made of Freud in writing about the rule of law are analyzed, criticizing how they neglect the tragic sentiment of the Freudian cultural vision regarding law. Finally, the article states that the notions developed by Freud can serve critical legal thinking only if the law is seen as part of the culture, which leads to consider legal studies as a form of cultural studies.<br>¿La reflexión de los juristas sobre el gobierno del derecho puede ser enriquecida con la concepción cultural de Freud sobre el derecho? El presente artículo desarrolla esta interrogante, partiendo de cómo en la modernidad se concibió al gobierno del derecho, desde una lectura a los trabajos de Hume y Rousseau, para así mostrar la potencial compatibilidad que esta concepción tenía con la posterior obra de Freud. De este modo, se presenta el pensamiento de Freud sobre el derecho como una fuerza civilizadora dialéctica o paradójica que restringe las pasiones a pesar de que ellas lo conduzcan, desde una lectura de su obra Tótem y tabú. En esta reconstrucción se retrata la genealogía del derecho, desde su relato de la horda primitiva, y las dinámicas inconscientes que están detrás del derecho mismo. Después, se analiza los usos que le han dado a Freud diversos académicos del campo jurídico que han escrito sobre el gobierno del derecho, criticando como estos han dejado de lado el elemento trágico de la visión cultural freudiana sobre el derecho. Por último, el artículo plantea que las nociones desarrollados por Freud pueden servir al pensamiento jurídico crítico solo si el derecho es visto como parte de la cultura, lo que conlleva ver a los estudios jurídicos como una forma de estudios culturales.

Abstract:
Political science literature has focused itself mostly on the «pro-democracy» role of political parties, identifying them as essential instruments for representation. We agree, but we believe this is not the only aspect to focus on. Democratic parties do not only achieve power through regular elections, but they also aspire to rule within a democratic regime. In that sense, the functioning of political parties can be analyzed not only in terms of their contribution to electoral competition. In order to fulfill their democratic functions, parties need a strong constitutional order that allows them to provide two goods: the achievement of power through legalways and good governance within the Rule of Law.<br>Por lo general, la literatura sobre los partidos políticos en ciencia política se ha centrado en su rol «pro-democrático», identificándolos como instrumentos esenciales para la representación. Estamos de acuerdo, pero insistimos en matizar el tema dado lo siguiente: Los partidos democráticos no solo conquistan el poder mediante elecciones regulares, sino que también aspiran a gobernar dentro de un régimen democrático. Por tanto, el funcionamiento de los partidos polí- ticos puede ser analizado no solamente en términos de su aporte a la competencia electoral. Para cumplir sus funciones democráticas, los partidos necesitan un orden constitucional fuerte que les permita proveer dos bienes: la conquista legal del poder y el buen gobierno dentro del Estado de derecho. En el presente documento proponemos esta agenda de investigación y revisamos sus componentes a la luz del caso peruano post-Fujimori y las organizaciones políticas dentro de la dinámica de gobierno.

Abstract:
In this article, the author analyses the tort not only from a private view, but also from a public function as part of the legalpolitical- economic structure of a State. Likewise, he analyses the significance of the liability rule and how this social-democratic way of organizing law and entitlements fixes the size of the liability;however, it is an inaccurate description of what occurs in the world, as in the case of eminent domain. Therefore, he claims a more significant economic role for the liability rule.<br>En el presente artículo, el autor analiza la responsabilidad extracontractual no solo desde una visión privada, sino también desde una función pública como parte de la estructura legal-política-económica de un Estado. Asimismo, analiza el significado de la regla de responsabilidad y de cómo esta manera social-demócrata de organizar el derecho y las titularidades fijan el tamaño de la responsabilidad; sin embargo, esta es una descripción inexacta de lo que ocurre en el mundo como en el caso de las expropiaciones. Por ello, afirma un papel económico más significativode la regla de responsabilidad.

Constitutionalizaton of Law’s different areas is a phenomenon gradually more ingrained in our cultural and legal framework. Maybe the best demonstration is the increasingly prominent role of the Constitutional Court (TC) – Constitution’s Supreme Interpreter – in defining and redefining concepts, rights and legal principles touching a range of subjects, from TaxLaw to Human Rights. This is relevant to understand the Law and its current effects whether it is valued positively or negatively.<br>La constitucionalización de las distintas áreas del Derecho es un fenómeno cada vez más arraigado en nuestra cultura y contexto jurídicos. Tal vez la forma más evidente en que se haya manifestado sea el creciente protagonismo del Tribunal Constitucional (TC), supremo intérprete de la Constitución, en la significación y resignificación de conceptos, derechos y principios jurídicos que, a través de sus sentencias, han afectado desde el derecho tributario hasta los derechos humanos. Sea que esto se valore positiva o negativamente, su relevancia para comprender el derecho y sus efectos en la actualidad es innegable.

The analysis of tort law is one of the most well-developed applications of economic methodology in the study of law. in this essay, we provide an overview of the economic approach to tort law, analyzing the effects of liability rules on care incentives. We catalogue a variety of possible tort regimes, systematically breaking down possible assignments of liability in terms of primary and secondary rules, and describe how their permutations distribute the costs of accidents (and the concomitant incentives to exercise precautionary care). We further consider what factual circumstances may render one tort regime preferable to another from the perspective of policymakers.<br>El análisis de la responsabilidad civil extracontractual ha sido unade las aplicaciones más y mejor desarrolladas aplicaciones de la metodología económica en el estudio del Derecho. e n el presente ensayo, ofrecemos un vistazo general de la aproximación económica a la responsabilidad civil extracontractual, analizando los efectos de las reglas de responsabilidad en los incentivos de precaución. Catalogamos una variedad de regímenes de responsabilidad, desglosando sistemáticamente las posibles asignaciones de responsabilidad en términos de reglas primarias y secundarias; asi como describimos como sus transformaciones distribuyen los costos de los accidentes (y los incentivos concomitantes para tomar las medidas precautorias).

The right to collectively negotiate salaries afforded to Public Employees has been a longstanding controversy in our country. Especially, in the light of the prohibitions established by Budget Laws. However, this conflict has been recently resolved by the Constitutional Court. This decision marks a fundamental landmark for Labor Law because it crystallizes the right of public employee to collectively bargain salaries with the State. In this article, the author recount the path travelled by the Constitutional Court in this field, that is, from the absolute prohibitions to a reasonable restriction in the pursue to achieve balance between this right and the public interest at stake.<br>El derecho de los trabajadores públicos de negociar colectivamente sus salarios ha sido una controversia de larga data en nuestro país.

Esta sentencia marca un hito fundamental en el derecho laboral colectivo, pues ha cristalizado el derecho de los trabajadores de la Administración Pública a negociar colectivamente sus salarios con el Estado. En el presente artículo, el autor realiza un recuento del camino transitado por el Tribunal Constitucional en este campo, esto es, desde la absoluta prohibición hasta la restricción razonable de este derecho en su afán por conciliarlo con el interés público en juego.

Once a semantic conception is assumed, in the last part of the work I reflect on what arguments are relevant to adopt a certain interpretation when difficult cases arise.<br>Las constantes apelaciones al tenor literal y a su relevancia para preservar el principio de legalidad (especialmente la previsibilidad) no reflejan la complejidad de cómo opera nuestro lenguaje.

Abstract:
In the last two or three decades, corruption has become a noticeable issue in many countries, especially in developing countries where it has serious effects on the economy. In this paper, the effect of corruption on economic growth will be examined through literature and researches that involve the effect of corruption in economic growth followed by cross-sectional regression analysis to the issue. The focus will be on how much corruption and how much corruption control are present for each country. other different variables that could be expected to affect the economic growth for this period will also, be examined. To answer this question, corruption control as an independent variable while economic growth is the dependent variable will be examined. The second question would be to study corruption control as a dependent variable while using a set of variables as independent variables and see how much they would affect corruption control. Finally, a case study that draws a comparison between the economy in Germany and South Korea where the results from the empirical part will be applied to the two countries and the difference between the true reported numbers and the numbers from the OLS equations will be checked and explained.   From all the directions been taken to study the subject “literatures, empirical and case study “ the results showed that corruption activities have negative effects on economic growth and although it might be in some cases shown to be insignificant, however, it is very important to minimize the corruption activities by boosting variables such as corruption control, rule of law, stability and also education as it is shown that the more years of education will decrease the levels of corruption in some cases.   The conclusion here will be, although corruption may have more effects in some economies more than others, to combat corruption that will take a global effort. The countries that may not suffer greatly from it may be caught in the cost of cleaning it by having to support failed economies. Or worse, corruption may be increased to levels that it could not be ignored.

Abstract:
The traditional model of initial training of judges in Spain and in other countries has been focused, and is still focused, on the mechanical digestion of a pile of stereotyped notions related to several legal subjects.This knowledge is presented with no references to specific legal disputes and does not meet at all, neither the profile of modern complex constitutional legal systems consisting of several levels, internally changing and conflicting; nor the practice of those systems. It does correspond, however, the historical model of the Napoleonic judge, who tends to act as a mechanical enforcer of the law and the longa manu of the real power rather than guardian of the citizens’ basic rights. The alternative to this kind of judicial training would be a system of training incorporating a high quality operative knowledge of the positive law actually in force, together with a theoretical-philosophical training in line with the suggestions made by Manuel Sacristán of «a level of exercise of thinking» based on the specific field and activity inherent to that group of legal practitioners.<br>El modelo tradicional de formación inicial de jueces para el desempeño del rol, en España, pero no solo, se ha cifrado y se cifra en la asimilación mecánica de todo un cúmulo de nociones estereotipadas relativas a las diversas disciplinas. Se trata de un bagaje que, por su carácter desproblematizador, no se ajusta en absoluto al perfil de los modernos ordenamientos constitucionales complejos, dotados de distintos niveles y, con frecuencia, internamente conflictivos y cambiantes; y menos a su práctica.Pero responde, en cambio, al histórico tipo de juez del modelo napoleónico, longa manu del poder en acto más que garante de derechos, tendencial aplicador mecánico. La alternativa a esta clase de formación estaría en otra que incorporase a un buen conocimiento operativo del derecho positivo en su ser actual y realmente vigente, una formación teórico-filosófica en la línea sugerida una vez por Manuel Sacristán, como «un nivel de ejercicio del pensamiento» a partir de y sobre el específico campo temático y de la actividad propia de tal clase de operadores.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis concerns a burgeoning field of practice – the financial and programmatic support for legal and institutional reform across borders, now generally known as ‘rule of law promotion’. The thesis aims to describe what might be called the ‘latent theory’ of the rule of law field: what kind of world is imagined in these programs (and the literature they have generated), and how do donors and funders go about making that world a reality. Given how heavily the field has come to rely on ‘the rule of law’ as its guiding rhetoric, my thesis is also concerned with the changing parameters of the rule of law itself as a term of art: what does the term now encompass, how does current usage differ from its past referential scope, and what factors have contributed to its evolution? The thesis looks at two separate traditions that have produced contemporary transnational rule of law reform: the rule of law ideal, a complex and contested tradition initiated by Albert Dicey in 1885; and the colonial export of laws and institutions, which serves as a precursor for modern efforts, but is difficult to reconcile with the rule of law ideal. The thesis makes the case that each of these traditions – the long-running political, economic and legal debates that have sculpted the landscape of the rule of law ideal, on one hand; the particular experience of the directed application of law abroad in pursuit of economic ends, on the other – have nourished and shaped the contemporary rule of law phenomenon. In short, I claim, it is difficult or impossible to understand the field of rule of law promotion without first grasping the long battles over the term’s content and the evolution of the practice of legal export.

Abstract:
This thesis offers a new conceptual framework - the environmental rule of law - to describe weaknesses in the development of Indian environmental law, and uses this description to critique the dominant discourse on environmental institutional reform. A secondary framework-fragmentation is also used to supplement the analysis of Indian environmental law. Part I develops the conceptual framework of the environmental rule of law by considering the special challenges that the inherent polycentric and interdisciplinary nature of environmental law present for commonly understood rule of law values such as clarity, certainty and consistency. It also relies on Jeremy Waldron's conception of articulated governance to demonstrate that the rule of law is linked to the principle of separation of powers. This conception lays emphasis on the role of the three institutions of government - the legislature, the executive and the judiciary - in strengthening or weakening the rule of law. To determine institutional contribution to the rule of law, I develop three broad indicators to assess the legal quality of the instruments of each of these institutions of government. These indicators are: a) capacity of statutes to guide executive and judicial behaviour by goal-setting and balancing competing interests; b) the ability of the executive to make flexible yet reasoned decisions grounded in primary legislation; and c) the use of statutory interpretation and consistent standards of judicial review by the courts as they give effect to environmental rights and principles. Through the use of case studies in Part II that span environmental impact assessment, forest conservation, and indigenous rights, I demonstrate that the lack of adherence to these indicators produces a body of environmental law that is fragmented i.e. one characterised by multiple overlapping yet self-contained legal regimes with conflicting provisions and the absence of unifying norms. In Part III, I use this understanding of fragmentation to critically analyse environmental legal and institutional reform proposals. I show that existing proposals address only the structure, rather than the process of functioning of the institutions of government. The rule of law framework that I develop also has potential for application to other areas of the law.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the conduct of judge-led commissions of inquiry in Canada could be improved, and rendered more consistent with purposive values embodied in the rule of law, were judicial commissioners to observe a principle of fidelity to adjudication. The rule of law, practically understood as a political and legal ideal, treats independence as integral to the judicial role in interpreting and applying law, safeguarding the Constitution, and honouring individual rights. Public confidence in the independence and integrity of Canada’s judiciary flows not just from constitutional safeguards, however, but from judicial observance of adjudicative procedure. So too does confidence that in exercising their functions, judges respect the boundaries commanded by the separation of powers. Contrary to categorical distinctions that are often drawn between commissions of inquiry and courts, adjudicative procedure is an essential feature of many inquiries. This is so because the participants in such inquiries legitimately demand an assurance of justice equivalent to that associated with traditional judicial proceedings. Recognizing this commonality does not mean burdening public inquiries with the evidentiary and procedural rigidity of courts. It does suggest, however, that adjudication has a valuable (if non-exclusive) role to play in the conduct of some inquiries, establishing a compelling reason why judges should be their leaders. Fidelity to adjudication directs judicial commissioners to account for this reality when confronting common dilemmas and challenges in inquiry conduct. I explore the methodological implications of fidelity to adjudication in two broad areas, first concerning procedural fairness, and second concerning the protection of a commissioner’s independence. Finally, I consider how fidelity to adjudication establishes boundaries cautioning against judicial service in inquiries that demand different conceptions of justice, or advance different notions of truth-seeking, than those in which judges are traditionally informed. A principled alignment is thus established between judicial service on commissions of inquiry, judicial methods and skills, and observance of the rule of law.

Hilson, Christopher. "Pollution control and the rule of law." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1995. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/1834/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis is an attempt to apply the rule of law to pollution control, the aim being to discover whether one form of environmental regulation can be regarded as more constitutionally legitimate than another. The thesis begins with a detailed discussion of the rule of law. In the first chapter, I suggest that the rule of law cannot simply be 'intuitively realised', but rather that the values associated with it must be accounted for through theoretical analysis. Immanent critique is rejected as a theoretical technique in favour of Dworkin's 'constructive interpretation'. The latter approach yields the rule of law values of equity, accountability, efficiency, certainty and effectiveness. Future chapters involve the application of these values to specific modes of pollution control. In chapter two, the 'command-and-control' regulatory systems operated by HMIP, the NRA, local authorities (air pollution control and waste regulation) and water and sewerage companies are analysed in terms of rule of law values - except for accountability which is discussed separately and in much greater depth in chapters 3 to 6. In these four chapters, I begin by examining general accountability mechanisms before exploring accountability for specific decisions such as the setting of ambient standards, the setting of emission/process standards and finally, monitoring and enforcement. Having discussed command-and-control approaches to pollution control, chapter 7 proceeds to examine market mechanisms of environmental regulation in terms of the rule of law values. The values are first applied to pollution taxes and tradeable permits at an abstract level; they are then applied to the existing cost-recovery charging schemes operated by the various regulatory bodies. Finally, in chapter eight I attempt to apply the rule of law values to 'market approaches' to pollution control such as environmental management and audit, green consumerism and investment, government industry contracts and civil liability. The conclusion of the thesis then assesses the success or otherwise of the practical application of the rule of law that has been attempted in previous chapters. It considers whether one can use the rule of law as a benchmark of legitimacy to conclude that one form of pollution control is more constitutionally legitimate than another.

Why care about what the law has to say? It aims to guide our actions, but its grounds for doing so are not clear. Many will cite moral grounds: the law is good, we have a duty to follow it. Others will simply appeal to negative consequences that follow from failing to heed its commands. Here, I want to sketch out a answer to the question in the tradition of legal positivism by using the machinery of ethical constructivism. I will begin by outlining the history of the debate over legal normativity. I will then proceed to lay out what Sharon Street has characterized as restricted constructivism, or constructivism that solves one particular normative problem. Without attempting to lay out a complete theory, I will advance the notion that we can settle on three conditions for the normativity of law. Adverting to formal games, I aim to show that we can start with the practical rationality of citizens whose interests and moral views deeply conflict, go through this procedure, and get reasons for the citizens to comply with laws that satisfy the conditions. I conclude by examining several objections to the procedure and my preferred conditions.

Full text
Abstract:
The rule of law is a cornerstone of the UK legal order, it states that we are all subject to, and ruled in accordance with, the law. Under Bingham’s analysis, the rule of law is made up of eight separate elements. Element one has four aspects, these are that legislation ought to be accessible, intelligible, clear and predictable. Legislative drafting means turning policy ideas into legislation fit for the statute book – it is literally writing the law. It is best described as phronesis, the subjective application of wisdom The hypothesis of this thesis is that legislative drafting principles can be derived from element one of Bingham’s definition of the rule of law, and that these drafting principles facilitate the drafting of legislation in accordance with the rule of law. The methodology is deductive reasoning, meaning that each aspect of element one is examined, and from each aspect, drafting principles are derived. The principles therefore flow directly from the rule of law. In Chapter 2 the rule of law requirement of accessibility is dissected. Accessibility means that citizens have access to the law. This leads to the conclusions that legislation ought to be drafted so as to be available (citizens can physically read it), navigable (citizens can find their way around it, particularly to the portion which directly affects them) and inclusive (containing all the relevant legal information). In Chapter 3 the rule of law requirement of predictability is analysed. Predictability means that citizens can predict the legal consequences of their actions by reference to the legislation, or in other words, that the law is fixed and certain. Drafting principles are then derived from this. These are that legislation is prospective (it has effect in the future, not the past), that it is determinate (certain, unambiguous and precise), stable (not changing all the time), it must have a clear start and stop date, it must be consistent (within individual statutes and more generally across the statute book), that it must apply in the real world, that it must be capable of being implemented, and that there must be constraints on the discretion given to officials by legislation. Chapter 4 deals with intelligibility – that the law must be capable of being understood by citizens. This means that the drafter must consider the characteristics of the individual who is most likely to be using the legislation, that both amending legislation and the legislation as amended must be comprehensible, that excessive interconnectedness must be avoided, that plain language, easification and good writing techniques must be used and finally that the legislation contain examples where appropriate to aid understanding.

Abstract:
The rule of law is declared to be a foundational and guiding value of the European Union in Article 2 Treaty on European Union. The European Commission claims to be the 'guardian of the rule of law', and the concept has been determinative in judgments in the Court of Justice of the EU. However, the EU has not defined what exactly is meant by 'the rule of law'. This leads to the question: how can the EU claim to be guided by the rule of law, 'common to all Member States', but not provide an account of what that means in practice? To determine such an account, I examine contemporary accounts of the rule of law and identify the specific nature of the EU. I conclude that while the rule of law is a shared value across legal systems, distinct accounts develop within, and adapt to, each one. I advance an EU-centric account of the rule of law (EUCA) which is apt for the EU legal order. I advocate the value of EUCA first in abstract by providing reasons for why it is to the benefit of the EU Institutions, the Member States and individuals to endorse EUCA compliance. I then show the practical use of EUCA as a source of legitimacy from the perspective of Member States and individuals in the context of issues of contemporary and pressing concern in the areas of international trade, corporate taxation and the criminal law. I seek to bridge the gap between a theoretical account of the rule of law apt for the EU legal order, and the practical guidance it can provide in the resolution of crisis issues. I conclude on the essential importance of guarding, strengthening, and enhancing the rule of law throughout the EU, not just as a means of resolution in times of crisis, but as a guarantee of the future of the European Union.
