Grégoire Bigot, Rechtshistoriker an der Universität Nantes, ist wie Pierre-Laurent Frier und François Burdeau, denen er beiden verbunden ist, Spezialist für die Geschichte der französischen Verwaltung und des Verwaltungsrechts vor allem des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine beiden Bände "L’Administration française" sind heute das maßgebende Handbuch für die Zeit bis 1944 – ein dritter Band wird erwartet. Im vorliegenden Sammelband vereint er nun acht große Artikel aus den Jahren 2000 bis 2012, die sich mit Verwaltung, Verwaltungsrecht und Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit von der Französischen Revolution bis zur Gegenwart befassen. In einer sehr informativen Einleitung von fast 50 Seiten werden das Forschungsfeld selbst sowie dessen Wissenschaftsgeschichte entfaltet. Die Studien sind nicht europäisch vergleichend angelegt, sondern – von kurzen Seitenblicken auf Italien und Deutschland abgesehen – ganz auf Frankreich konzentriert. ...
Circulation of legal knowledge, ideas, norms and practices has taken place throughout legal history, shaping legal experiences in different corners of the world. Over the past couple of years, approaches to the study of such circulations have changed radically. Legal historians have adopted approaches from cultural studies and transnational history in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in these processes. ...
Mónica García-Salmones Rovira hat ihr – mittlerweile preisgekröntes – Buch als "The Project of Positivism in International Law" betitelt. Das klingt etwas schmissig und zugleich verlockend rätselhaft. Wessen Projekt war es, wann gab es das und was ist davon zu halten? Die Verfasserin setzt keinen Untertitel dazu, der dem Leser einen erläuternden Hinweis geben könnte. Die eigentliche Überraschung ist, dass sich nach Lektüre der rund 400 Seiten beide Eindrücke sogar verstärkt haben: Das Buch-Ende wartet im Anschluss an die völkerrechtshistorische Darstellung mit einer persönlichen Positionierung der Autorin gegenüber ihrem Gegenstand auf, die eine akzentuiert kritische Haltung offenlegt und den Leser nochmals zum Nachdenken bringt. ...
The grammar of global law
(2016)
Legal grammar is understood as the conceptual and linguistic foundation on which legal decisions rest – law’s meta-structure, its argumentative techniques and its systematicity. The essay distinguishes between two ways of thinking about this grammar. The first way of thinking appeals to a grammar as a stabilizing factor, maintaining the coherence of the law. The second way of thinking highlights the asymmetries of power within this structure and perceives legal grammar as the medium carrying the ideological commitments of the law. As the essay ultimately argues, both perspectives react differently to the challenges of globalization that the law is confronted with. While the debate on the grammar(s) of global law is one place where future political order is negotiated, the outcome of the debate is largely open.
The concept of freedom as non-domination that is associated with neo-republican theory provides a guiding ideal in the global, not just the domestic arena, and does so even on the assumption that there will continue to be many distinct states. It argues for a world in which states do not dominate members of their own people and, considered as a corporate body, no people is dominated by other agencies: not by other states and not, for example, by any international agency or multi-national corporation. This ideal is not only attractive in the abstract, it also supports a concrete range of sensible, if often radical international policies.
The essay, originally written in German as an introduction to a volume of collected papers, shows the influence of the Historical School of Law on legal, historical and social sciences in Germany throughout the 19th and even 20th centuries – a time span running contrary to the dominate view that sees the end of the School in the middle of the 19th century. In my view the School constitutes not only a method for developing norms of private law out of the historical materials of Roman and German-Germanic laws, but is based on a wider conception of culture, law and history that is also connected to the political positions of that time. In Savigny’s founding pamphlet, "The vocation of our time ...", two major theoretical topics for this long-lasting influence can be found: The Romantic one, which views law as a part of culture and parallel to language and custom, based on the "spirit of the people", and, on the other side, the rationality of the European tradition of Roman law, which was developed and administered by jurists. These two basic points, in part standing in contradiction to one another, form a fertile tension that provides an impulse to the intellectual discussions and new movements in jurisprudence and history analysed in the text. Realism, founded in the connection of both sciences to political and social life, builds a kind of "basso continuo" and acts as a counterbalance to the former two. And it is in this context that the works of Jacob Grimm, Puchta and Beseler, Heinrich Brunner, Georg von Below and others are analysed, in particular the works of Otto von Gierke and Max Weber. Finally, evidence is furnished that a new image of the medieval period, and its impact on law, as a centre of Western identity was outlined in the 20th century by authors like Ernst Kantorowicz, Fritz Kern, Otto Brunner and, last but not least, by Harold J. Berman (walking in the footsteps of Eugen Rosenstock- Huessy), all of whom were situated in different ways within the tradition of the broader, cultural-based Romantic view.
The article aims to sharpen the neo-republican contribution to international political thought by challenging Pettit’s view that only representative states may raise a valid claim to non-domination in their external relations. The argument proceeds in two steps: First I show that, conceptually speaking, the domination of states, whether representative or not, implies dominating the collective people at least in its fundamental, constitutive power. Secondly, the domination of states – and thus of their peoples – cannot be justified normatively in the name of promoting individual non-domination because such a compensatory rationale misconceives the notion of domination in terms of a discrete exercise of power instead of as an ongoing power relation. This speaks in favour of a more inclusive law of peoples than Pettit (just as his liberal counterpart Rawls) envisages: In order to accommodate the claim of collective peoples to non-domination it has to recognize every state as a member of the international order.
Since 1963, when the African integration project was born, regional Economic Communities (RECs) have been an indispensable part of the continent's deeper socioeconomic and political integration. More than half a century later, such regional institutions continue to evolve, keeping pace with an Africa that is transforming itself amid challenges and opportunities. RECs represent a huge potential to be the engines that drive the continent's economic growth and development as well as being vehicles through which a sense of a continental community is fostered. It is critical therefore that citizens understand the multi-faceted and bureaucratic operations of regional institutions in order to use them to advance their collective interests.
