Reformas Judiciales Pendientes. Algunas Ideas Para Facilitar La Discusión, Enrique Barros Bourie
Reformas Judiciales Pendientes. Algunas Ideas Para Facilitar La Discusión, Enrique Barros Bourie
Enrique Barros Bourie
Contenido: La tarea esencial de la administración de justicia es la aplicación del derecho vigente. Los jueces, incluso los de competencia constitucional, carecen de legitimidad para introducir cambios en el orden de convivencia, y para atender fines públicos generales distintos a los de resolver conflictos de acuerdo con reglas y principios generalmente aceptados como derecho vigente. Ya desde el derecho romano, el derecho presenta un aspecto técnico, que justifica que el ejercicio de las profesiones legales esté entregado a especialistas que conocen una ciencia cuyas raíces entroncan con una tradición cultural especializada. Ello plantea exigencias de profesionalización de los jueces …
La Ley Civil Ante Las Rupturas Matrimoniales, Enrique Barros Bourie
La Ley Civil Ante Las Rupturas Matrimoniales, Enrique Barros Bourie
Enrique Barros Bourie
In this article, Enrique Barros argues that civil law has a limited but essential task to play in the event of marital breakdown. He takes issue with the argument that the benefits of marriage for human happiness and perfection necessarily mean that civil law should not admit divorce. On the contrary, Barros claims there are better arguments in favor of legislation on this issue. He states that in a pluralistic society that recognizes personal autonomy and intimacy, civil law should not play a very powerful role in forming customs. And even though it might be thought advisable, legal means are …

Lo Público Y Lo Privado En El Derecho, Enrique Barros Bourie
Lo Público Y Lo Privado En El Derecho, Enrique Barros Bourie
Enrique Barros Bourie
El ensayo asume que el derecho es público en un sentido elemental: es una institución que ordena la convivencia; se asienta en la justicia, la más pública de las virtudes; y su eficacia reside en una instancia judicial que resuelve los conflictos e invoca el uso legítimo de la fuerza. Más allá de esa publicidad básica, el derecho muestra diversas dimensiones de lo público y lo privado en la sociedad contemporánea. Ante todo, lo público aparece como sinónimo de lo estatal en la lógica normativa que subyace a las regulaciones, que se expresan en actos de voluntad política y cuyo …

The Maze Of Life Styles, Enrique Barros Bourie
The Maze Of Life Styles, Enrique Barros Bourie
Enrique Barros Bourie
This essay looks at the frustrations and challenges facing a pluralistic society in the context of general liberal institutions, such as democracy, the market and the rules and regulations that underwrite personal autonomy. It is the author’s opinion that the principal challenge to such a pluralistic society, a society which owes its origin to liberal institutions, is a personal one and is related to the many life styles that are made possible in such a society. Liberal institutions open numerous possibilities for living in very different ways, so that the problem here is caused not by a lack of them …

Por Un Nuevo Régimen De Bienes En El Matrimonio, Enrique Barros Bourie
Por Un Nuevo Régimen De Bienes En El Matrimonio, Enrique Barros Bourie
Enrique Barros Bourie
No subject in the Civil Code has been the objective of so many successive reforms since its enactment in 1855 as the marital partnership, which constitutes the basic economic order of the family. This study shows that those successive reforms have caused practical irremediable inconsistencies by intending, on the one hand, to expand the participation and capacity of women and, on the other, conserving the principle of an association of assets administrated by the husband. On the basis of that diagnosis, a proposal is made to establish a new legal marital property regimen: the share in joint property. It is …

La Democracia Como Forma Del Poder. Un Enfoque Normativo, Enrique Barros Bourie
La Democracia Como Forma Del Poder. Un Enfoque Normativo, Enrique Barros Bourie
Enrique Barros Bourie
The essay investigates the regulatory background of the modern constitutional democracy. Its principal theory is that democracy is, above all, a system of government and as such, is inseparable from the need for an established and efficient public power. The paper contests the collectivist idea that wide social consensus could substitute for public decisions. In doing so, it restates the difference between the organic and representative concepts of democracy. It also shows how the constitutional tradition combines with an instrumental and demystified concept of public power. Government is indispensable but also tamable. From this perspective, democracy and the Constitution are …

Enrique Barros Bourie
In December 1982, at the initiative of Centro de Estudios Públicos, a group of Chilean lawyers met with professor Ernst J. Mestmacker, director of the Max Planck Institute for Private Foreign and International Law of Hamburg. The original subject of the discussion, which included a variety of commercial law issues, was ultimately reduced to topics related to free competition, on which Prof. Mestmacker is one of the most renowned European specialists. Given the high level of the debate and the permanent interest of the issues discussed, the invited guests and the participating lawyers agreed to publish the conversation. Prof. Mestmacker …

Aspectos Jurídicos Del Estatuto De Los Partidos Políticos, Enrique Barros Bourie
Enrique Barros Bourie
El estudio concibe a los partidos como asociaciones que, como otras, requieren normas mínimas de ordenación. Entre las normas que debería establecer la ley, figuran: los requisitos de formación y disolución, sobre la base de que sean objetivos y moderados; la garantía de la democracia interna, mediante la generalización del voto secreto en todas las decisiones de importancia; la protección del derecho de expresión de las minorías y las normas sobre publicidad del funcionamiento y de las finanzas. Finalmente se analizan los aspectos de fondo de las asociaciones políticas ilícitas y se formulan, a este respecto, algunas ideas de orden …
