Judicial Review in Equal Treatment Cases
ISBN: 9789004143791 / Angielski / Twarda / 774 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this study, an assessment model is developed to guide courts in deciding equal treatment cases. Such a model appears to be indispensable, since relevant equality provisions often do not offer much guidance as to the assessment of unequal treatment. This lack of guidance may lead to diverging approaches and outcomes, which is undesirable from the perspective of equality and legal certainty. The use of the assessment model developed in this study will improve judicial reasoning and enhance the legitimacy of equal treatment case law. The general assessment model developed in this study is...

Constitutional Rights After Globalisation
ISBN: 9781841134482 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Constitutional Rights after Globalisation juxtaposes the globalization of the economy and the worldwide spread of constitutional charters of rights. The shift of political authority to powerful economic actors entailed by neo-liberal globalization challenges the traditional state-centered focus of constitutional law. Contemporary debate has responded to this challenge in normative terms, whether by reinterpreting rights or redirecting their ends, e.g. to reach private actors. However, globalization undermines the liberal legalist epistemology on which these approaches rest, by positing the...
