The Standard Model Introduced, Peter Aschenbrenner
The Standard Model Introduced, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The standard model offers civil society’s perspective on the creation, management and disposition of political society. There is a one-to-one relationship between a civil society and a political society. Each political society creates, manages and disposes of systems. Taken as a system-of-systems, a political society fulfills service missions on behalf of and at the behest of the civil society. Agreement on this point may be drawn from Aristotle to Burke: civil society views a political society as a contrivance to fulfill its needs. Our Constitutional Logic offers three purposes of political societies considered as constructs within civil or bourgeois society: …
The Standard Model And Its Service Missions, Peter Aschenbrenner
The Standard Model And Its Service Missions, Peter Aschenbrenner
Peter J. Aschenbrenner
The standard model offers civil society’s perspective on the creation, management and disposition of political society. For purposes of this investigation, political societies are treated as chartered organizations. Taken as a system-of-systems, a political society fulfills service missions on behalf of and at the behest of the civil society. What are service missions? What are types of service missions? And how do they differ from systems? Our Constitutional Logic answers these questions.
Justice Stevens, Religion, And Civil Society, Gregory P. Magarian
Justice Stevens, Religion, And Civil Society, Gregory P. Magarian
Gregory P. Magarian
Did Justice John Paul Stevens, who retired from the Supreme Court last year, harbor a bias against religion? During his 35 years on the Court, Justice Stevens showed little favor for religious claimants. In Establishment Clause cases he advocated a strong doctrine of separation between church and state. In the most contentious Free Exercise Clause cases, he flatly opposed exempting religious believers from laws that interfered with their religious exercise. This combination of positions, unique among the Justices of the Burger, Rehnquist, and Roberts Courts, has led commentators to charge Justice Stevens with disdain for religion. In this article, Professor …
Gender Budget Analysis In Morocco: Achieving Education Parity For Women And Girls, Christie J. Edwards
Gender Budget Analysis In Morocco: Achieving Education Parity For Women And Girls, Christie J. Edwards
Christie J. Edwards Esq.
The Kingdom of Morocco has a long history of stability and democracy in the North African region, in large part due to the government’s commitment to improving the lives and status of women and girls. In the past few years, Morocco has set ambitious goals for increased access for women and girls to education as key strategies for the country’s economic development. However, although the government has committed to these gender-specific policies, implementation of education and literacy programs has been sporadic and inconsistent due to the enormity of the problem of female illiteracy and the complexity of the solutions proposed …

Emerging Law Addressing Climate Change And Water, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Emerging Law Addressing Climate Change And Water, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
The World Economic Forum recognizes that while restrictions on energy affect water systems and vice versa, energy and water policy are rarely coordinated. The International Panel on Climate Change predicts that wet places will become wetter and dry places will become dryer. Transboundary water, energy and climate coordination can occur through international consensus building.
Civil Society And Its Discontents: The Two Pillars Of Edmund Burke's Legal Philosophy, James A. Todd
Civil Society And Its Discontents: The Two Pillars Of Edmund Burke's Legal Philosophy, James A. Todd
James A. Todd
Author’s Abstract: This article will undertake a complete survey of the jurisprudential thought of Edmund Burke. In doing so, it will attempt to place civil society as the focus of all jurisprudential elements of Burke’s thought. Burke put forward the components of a legal order that tended toward the establishment of a fundamentally liberal society, with spontaneity as the engine of both law and social growth. The positive pillar of Burke’s thought refers to the maxims of jurisprudence that foster social harmony, allowing this growth to proceed apace. The complementing, negative pillar of Burke’s legal thought focuses on protecting these …
