Soldiers And Wayward Women: Gendered Citizenship, And Migration Policy In Argentina, Italy, And Spain Since 1850, David Cook-Martín

David Cook-Martín

Policies that regulate peoples international movement and their state membership have historically made distinctions based on perceived sexual differences, but little is known about the process by which this has happened. This paper explores how and with what consequences migration and nationality policies have been gendered in two quintessential countries of emigration (Italy and Spain), and in a country of immigrants (Argentina) over a 150-year period. I argue that these migration and nationality policies have reflected the dynamics of the political fields in which they have been crafted. Especially before the Great War, laws and official practices that showed a …

Las Paradojas De La Democracia Deliberativa / The Paradoxes Of Deliberative Democracy, Andres Palacios Lleras

Andrés Palacios Lleras

Este artículo argumenta por qué la teoría de la democracia deliberativa es problemática y paradójica, y por lo tanto inadecuada para desarrollar las instituciones democráticas contemporáneas, o para reemplazarlas por otras. Es una teoría problemática porque parte de una postura epistemológica difícilmente sostenible. Es paradójica porque a pesar de ser presentada como incluyente a nivel social, la idea de deliberación que presenta y considera como deseable, es demasiado exigente como para ser realizada por toda clase de personas; y es de hecho, elitista en este aspecto. Pero también porque señala que las instancias que están mejor diseñadas para tomar decisiones …

Rómulo Morales Hervias

Luego de un análisis histórico y comparativo de la doctrina de los actos propios se formulan críticas a las aproximaciones desarrolladas por las doctrinas española y sudamericana. La tesis es la inaplicabilidad de tal doctrina en el sistema jurídico peruano porque comportaría aplicar soluciones inútiles e injustas.

Why Unify Contract And Tort Remedies? A Reply To Professor Dagan, Dr. Yehuda Adar

Yehuda Adar Dr.

-This Article is in Hebrew-

The remedies section in the Israeli draft civil code attempts to create a unified law of remedies for the breach of any civil obligation, including originating in tort law and contract law. In his article, "The Risks of Codification: On Over-Coherence and Multiplicity of Remedies", Professor Dagan forcefully criticizes this attempt. The present article demonstrates that the two main criticisms raised by Dagan - against the unification of remedies and against the attempt to fortify the remedial response to breach of civil obligations - are unconvincing, from both a theoretical and a pragmatic point of …

Of The Honey And The Sting – Reflections On Remedies And The Draft Civil Code, Dr. Yehuda Adar

Yehuda Adar Dr.

-This article is in Hebrew-

The remedies section in the Israeli draft civil code reflects a bold – some might say revolutionary – attempt to turn the law of remedies from a set of specific rules appended to various branches of substantive law into a single, autonomous and systematic legal branch. The section, entitled “Remedies for Breach of Obligation,” concludes the fourth part of the proposed code (dealing with obligations) and applies to the violation of any civil obligation, including breach of contract and the commission of torts. This article attempts to provide a broad theoretical framework for the law …

Ontario (Attorney General) V. $29, 020 In Canadian Currency: A Comment On Proceeds Of Crime And Provincial Civil Forfeiture Laws, Michelle Gallant

Michelle Gallant

Many provinces are embracing a modern approach to crime control, an approach which uses civil proceedings, primarily a device known as forfeiture, to tackle criminal activity. The strategy targets the financial underpinnings of crime, the proceeds or the assets linked to illegal activity. It effectively gives the public actor the ability to use civil actions to recover financial resources tainted by criminality.

New to provincial law, this convergence of civil proceedings and crime, of civil forfeiture and the financial element of crime, invites obvious questions about the consistency of this approach with constitutional norms. On the jurisdictional front, there is …
