Abstract

"Courts are key players in the dynamics of federal countries since their rulings have a direct impact on the ability of governments to centralize and decentralize power. Courts in Federal Countries examines the role high courts play in thirteen countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Nigeria, Spain, and the United States. The volume's contributors analyse the centralizing or decentralizing forces at play following a court's ruling on issues such as individual rights, economic affairs, social issues, and other matters. The thirteen substantive chapters have been written to facilitate comparability between the countries. Each chapter outlines a country's federal system, explains the constitutional and institutional status of the court system, and discusses the high court's jurisprudence in light of these features. Courts in Federal Countries offers insightful explanations of judicial behaviour in the world's leading federations."--

Abstract

"Covering two centuries of Russian history, Forging a Unitary State is a comprehensive account of the creation of what is commonly known as the "Russian Empire," from Poland to Siberia. In this book, John P. LeDonne demonstrates that the so-called empire was, for the most part, a unitary state, defined by an obsessive emphasis on centralization and uniformity. The standardization of local administration, the judicial system, tax regime, and commercial policy were carried out slowly but systematically over eight generations, in the hope of integrating people on the periphery into the Russian political and social hierarchy. The ultimate goal of Russian policy was to create a "Fortress Empire" consisting of a huge Russian unitary state flanked by a few peripheral territories, such as Finland, Transcaucasia, and Central Asia. Additional peripheral states, such as Sweden, Turkey, and Persia, would guarantee the security of this "Fortress Empire" and the management of Eurasian territory. LeDonne's provocative argument is supported by a careful comparative study of Russian expansion along its western, southern, and eastern borders, drawing on vital but under-studied administrative evidence. Forging a Unitary State is an essential resource for those interested in the long history of Russian expansionism"--

Abstract

La Belgique a proclamé son indépendance le 4 octobre 1830. En 2030, soit dans huit ans, elle célébrera son deux centième anniversaire. Mais dans quel État, avec ou sans majuscule ? Et dans quel état d'esprit ? Avec notamment ces questions directes. Quel sera son visage institutionnel, notamment au lendemain de 2024 ? Vers quel type de société politique évolue-t-elle ? Quelles sont les perspectives d’avenir ? Dix universitaires, Francophones et Flamands, tous spécialistes en droit public, se sont risqués à répondre à ces questions prospectives. Pas pour le plaisir de jouer aux pronostics. Mais pour tirer parti du regard qu’ils ont toujours porté sur le passé, pour profiter de l’évaluation qu’ils font du présent et pour utiliser l’imagination qui est la leur pour concevoir et, pourquoi pas ?, construire demain. Une mine de réflexions libres, comme il convient dans la communauté universitaire, à l’intention des hommes et femmes politiques de notre pays mais aussi des citoyens du futur. À l’horizon 2030, la Belgique aura-t-elle encore un sens ? Si oui, lequel ? Sinon, quel avenir pour les citoyens d’un État à l’existence aussi éphémère ?
