Constitutionalism, Human Rights, and Islam after the Arab Spring offers a comprehensive analysis of the impact that new and draft constitutions and amendments - such as those in Jordan, Morocco, Syria, Egypt, and Tunisia - have had on the transformative processes that drive constitutionalism in Arab countries. This book aims to identify and analyze the key issues facing constitutional law and democratic development in Islamic states, and offers an in-depth examination of the relevance of the transformation processes for the development and future of constitutionalism in Arab countries. Using an encompassing and multi-faceted approach, this book explores underlying trends and currents that have been pivotal to the Arab Spring, while identifying and providing a forward looking view of constitution making in the Arab world.

Constitutionalism in Islamic Countries: Between Upheaval and Continuity examines the question of whether something similar to an "Islamic constitutionalism" has emerged out of the political and constitutional upheaval witnessed in many parts of North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and Southern Asia in order to identify its defining features and to assess the challenges it poses to established concepts of constitutionalism. This book offers an integrated analysis of the constitutional experience of Islamic countries, drawing on the methods and insights of comparative constitutional law, Islamic law, international law and legal history. European and United States experiences are used as points of reference against which the peculiar challenges, and the specific answers given to those challenges in the countries surveyed, can be assessed. Whether these concepts can be applied successfully to the often grim political and social realities of their countries will provide invaluable insights into whether such a fusion can be sustained, and may even pave the way for a new era of constitutionalism in Islamic countries.

International financial relations have become increasingly important for the development of global and national economies. At present these relations are primarily governed by market forces, with little regulatory interference at the international level. In the light of numerous financial crises, this abstinence must be seriously questioned. Starting with an analysis of the regulatory problems at the international level, with only minimal powers entrusted to international organisations, this book develops various possibilities for reform. On the basis of an historical analysis, the book first adopts a comparative approach to national attempts to regulate international financial markets, then outlines the potential of relevant institutions and finally develops a policy perspective. It seeks to provide a framework for analysing options for the regulation of international financial markets from a public international law and comparative law perspective.

This comprehensive Research Handbook offers an in-depth examination of the most significant factors affecting compliance with international human rights law, which has emerged as one of the key problems in the efforts to promote effective protection of human rights. In particular, it examines the relationships between regional human rights courts and domestic actors and judiciaries.Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the Research Handbook explores the legal and political considerations that shape compliance, using a combination of both international and comparative law analysis in the assessment of regional human rights regimes. Chapters written by leading scholars and practitioners from around the globe cover a wide range of jurisdictions from Europe, Latin America and Africa and their interactions with regional human rights courts. The Research Handbook also discusses the limits of, and possible alternatives to, compliance as a framework for analysis, offering a fuller understanding of the effectiveness of international human rights law.Scholars, students and practitioners of public international law, international human rights law and comparative law will find this Research Handbook an invaluable resource. It will also benefit officials and lawyers working with international organisations who deal with human rights issues on a regular basis.

Rainer Grote zeichnet zunächst die Entwicklung und Funktion der im staatsrechtlichen Positivismus und in Auseinandersetzung mit ihm vertretenen Organlehren für die Interpretation staatsorganisatorischer Grundstrukturen nach. Anschließend erstellt er eine umfassende Bestandsaufnahme der Hauptanwendungsgebiete verfassungs- und verwaltungsrechtlicher Organstreitverfahren im geltenden Recht unter Einbeziehung rechtsvergleichender und europarechtlicher Aspekte. Auf dieser Grundlage wird im dritten Teil der Versuch einer Klärung von Inhalt, Funktion und Durchsetzungsmodalitäten subjektivierter innerorganisatorischer Rechtspositionen unternommen. Der Autor untersucht, ob und in welchem Umfang konkrete innerorganisatorische Berechtigungen sich materialen Organisationsprinzipien wie dem Demokratie- und dem Gewaltenteilungsprinzip zuordnen lassen, die über ihre kompetenzielle Ausformung im Staats- und Verwaltungsorganisationsrecht den zuständigen Verfassungs- und (Selbst-) Verwaltungsorganen ein jeweils abgestuftes Maß an politischer oder zumindest funktionaler Autonomie vermitteln und damit als regulative Prinzipien der intra- und zwischenorganschaftlich ablaufenden Kommunikationskreisläufe fungieren. Er zeigt auf, welche Folgerungen sich daraus für eine Weiterentwicklung der prozessualen Grundlagen des Organstreits ergeben.

This innovative commentary offers unique insights into the interrelationship between human rights protection in domestic legal systems and the ever more important body of European human rights law. It shows how the national and European rules can be understood as a formative part of an increasingly integrated, multi-tier-system of fundamental rights protection.The case law published since the previous edition has been thoroughly incorporated into this work. Current developments, such as the practical consequences of the recent debate on the subsidiarity principle for the margin of appreciation of Member States in assessing the necessity of interferences with Convention rights, have also been given due regard."Hopefully the Commentary will […] be broadly disseminated and receive the attention it diserves."Christian Johann German Yearbook of Internat.
