Abstract

The concept of 'real legal certainty' provides a much needed corrective to the general attention for legal certainty in this day and age. It emphasises relations between citizens, adds socio-legal insight, provides a 'view from below, ' and thus leads to more realistic insights on how to build state institutions. The concept was introduced by Leiden University's professor of Law and Governance in Developing countries Jan Michiel Otto, and can be considered a central pillar of his work. Against the backdrop of an ever-increasing interest in 'legal certainty' in policy-making and academia, friends and colleagues of Jan Michiel Otto engage with the concept provide a wide variety of examples of its relevance. Drawing on case material from all over the world, they show how real legal certainty can be understood in a bottom-up manner and how it is relevant for building state institutions. They also show how the concept can gain in relevance by taking into account actors other than the state. In all, the edited volume is important reading for all whom share professor Otto's interest in what it takes to bridge law in the books and law in action.

Abstract

In established constitutional polities, Vermeule argues, law can and should - and to some extent already does - provide mechanisms of democracy: small-scale institutional devices and innovations that can have surprisingly large effects, promoting democratic values of impartial, accountable and deliberative government.

Abstract

Digital technologies have changed the public arena, but there is little scholarly consensus about how they have done so. This Element lays out a new framework for the digitally mediated public arena by identifying structural changes and continuities with the pre-digital era. It examines three country cases - the United States, Germany, and China. In these countries and elsewhere, the emergence of new infrastructures such as search engines and social media platforms increasingly mediate and govern the visibility and reach of information, and thus reconfigure the transmission belt between citizens and political elites. This shift requires a rethinking of the workings and dysfunctions of the contemporary public arena and ways to improve it.

Abstract

Las investigaciones reunidas en este libro reconstruyen las historias de los principales archivos documentales oficiales de la Norpatagonia, pero también de los nuevos archivos surgidos en el ámbito de comunidades, organizaciones y colectivos sociales subalternizados en las lógicas y burocracias que signaron la conformación de los primeros. De este modo, la contribución principal de la obra es la pesquisa sobre una institución poco problematizada pero central para garantizar la memoria, para la producción de investigaciones y también –y fundamentalmente– para el ejercicio de derechos ciudadanos. The investigations gathered in this book reconstruct the histories of the main official documentary archives of North Patagonia, but also of the new archives that have arisen in the sphere of communities, organizations and social groups subordinated in the logic and bureaucracies that marked the formation of those first institutions. The main contribution of the work is the analysis of a central organization to guarantee memory, for the production of research and also –and fundamentally– for the exercise of citizen rights.
