Book Description
Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial los derechos humanos se convirtieron en el fundamento del Derecho en general y del derecho público en particular cuando tanto las declaraciones internacionales como las constituciones nacionales los establecieron como base de los sistemas jurídicos. El Preámbulo de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, firmada el 26 de junio de 1945 en San Francisco, reafirmó “la fe en los derechos fundamentales del hombre, en la dignidad y el valor de la persona humana, en la igualdad de derechos de hombres y mujeres”. Tres años más tarde, el Preámbulo de la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos señaló que “la libertad, la justicia y la paz en el mundo tienen por base el reconocimiento de la dignidad intrínseca y de los derechos equitativos e inalienables de todos los miembros de la familia humana”. Al año siguiente la Ley Fundamental de Bonn (1949) optó por recoger de un modo expreso la misma idea, al consignar que “El pueblo alemán (…) reconoce los derechos humanos inviolables e inalienables como fundamento de toda comunidad humana, de la paz y de la justicia en el mundo” (art. 1.2). Si desde entonces los derechos humanos están llamados a constituir el fundamento de la comunidad humana, de la paz y de la justicia en el mundo, resulta difícil atenuar su relevancia. Esta es la premisa fundamental de la que parte la presente publicación de carácter multidisciplinar, pues de poco serviría examinar los orígenes, la evolución y el fundamento de los derechos humanos si se eludiera su regulación o configuración jurídica actual, tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional (regional y mundial), pero también si no se prestara suficiente atención a la educación, tan necesaria para hacerlos realidad en la práctica. Estos son, por lo tanto, los objetivos del presente estudio. De ahí que sus autores sean expertos en diversas disciplinas, tanto jurídicas (Historia del Derecho, Filosofía del Derecho, Derecho Político y Constitucional, Derecho Internacional Público) como no jurídicas (Historia, Filosofía, Ciencia Política, Psicología, Pedagogía y Didáctica), siendo esta aproximación multidisciplinar a los derechos humanos la principal aportación –y razón de ser– de este libro.

Book Description
This book discusses the relation between morality and politics, and morality and law, a field that has been studied for more than two thousand years The law is a part of human culture, and this touches upon a dynamic reality that is connected to the relation between nature and freedom, nature and culture. If such relations are not clearly understood, as is the case today, the relation between morality and law cannot be properly comprehended either. The relationship between morality and criminal law must constantly evolve to meet the needs of changing times and circumstances. Social changes and new situations require new answers. And since the relationship involves criminal law, legal philosophy and legal history, interdisciplinary approaches are always needed. Featuring fifteen original contributions by legal scholars from various European and American universities, the book does not pretend to solve the complexity of the relation between morality and criminal law, but instead expresses criticism, offers some proposals and stimulates further thought. The book tackles the topic from an interdisciplinary perspective (criminal law, constitutional law, legal philosophy and legal history, among others). As such, it appeals not only to scholars and students, but also to lawyers, policymakers, historians, theologians, philosophers and general readers who are interested in the legal, social, political and philosophical issues of our time.

Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Book Description
This volume addresses an important historiographical gap by assessing the respective contributions of tradition and foreign influences to the 19th century codification of criminal law. More specifically, it focuses on the extent of French influence – among others – in European and American civil law jurisdictions. In this regard, the book seeks to dispel a number of myths concerning the French model’s actual influence on European and Latin American criminal codes. The impact of the Napoleonic criminal code on other jurisdictions was real, but the scope and extent of its influence were significantly less than has sometimes been claimed. The overemphasis on French influence on other civil law jurisdictions is partly due to a fundamental assumption that modern criminal codes constituted a break with the past. The question as to whether they truly broke with the past or were merely a degree of reform touches on a difficult issue, namely, the dichotomy between tradition and foreign influences in the codification of criminal law. Scholarship has unfairly ignored this important subject, an oversight that this book remedies.

Book Description
Polarization between political religionists and militant secularists on both sides of the Atlantic is on the rise. Critically engaging with traditional secularism and religious accommodationism, this collection introduces a constitutional secularism that robustly meets contemporary challenges. It identifies which connections between religion and the state are compatible with the liberal, republican, and democratic principles of constitutional democracy and assesses the success of their implementation in the birthplace of political secularism: the United States and Western Europe. Approaching this issue from philosophical, legal, historical, political, and sociological perspectives, the contributors wage a thorough defense of their project's theoretical and institutional legitimacy. Their work brings fresh insight to debates over the balance of human rights and religious freedom, the proper definition of a nonestablishment norm, and the relationship between sovereignty and legal pluralism. They discuss the genealogy of and tensions involving international legal rights to religious freedom, religious symbols in public spaces, religious arguments in public debates, the jurisdiction of religious authorities in personal law, and the dilemmas of religious accommodation in national constitutions and public policy when it violates international human rights agreements or liberal-democratic principles. If we profoundly rethink the concepts of religion and secularism, these thinkers argue, a principled adjudication of competing claims becomes possible.
