In the complicated legal and political situation that reigns in Europe at the moment, characterized not at least by the uncertainty of what happens with the proposed EU constitution after negative results in the French and Dutch referendums in 2005, it has become increasingly important to analyse the EU constitutional frameworks from historical and comparative perspectives. This book provides new insights based on perspectives from Member States such as Germany and Italy as well as the Nordic Countries. It also deals with European legal and philosophical heritage in general, as well as special issues like closer cooperation among ‘Core States’ and the role of the Court of Justice in recent EC law development. It is of interest both for legal practitioners and scholars as well as students of political science and history.

En Europe, la plupart des États ont aménagé un contrôle de la constitutionnalité des normes législatives, de telle sorte que la justice constitutionnelle est devenue progressivement un élément majeur du patrimoine constitutionnel européen. La Belgique n’a pas échappé à ce mouvement vers le modèle de l’État constitutionnel de droit. Depuis 1985, la Cour constitutionnelle veille au respect de la Constitution par le législateur fédéral et par les législateurs fédérés. Elle a ainsi contribué à la diffusion du droit constitutionnel dans tous les recoins de l’ordre juridique. Aujourd’hui, la justice constitutionnelle interpelle toutes les disciplines juridiques. L’ouvrage a pour objet central la Cour constitutionnelle de Belgique. Il entend cependant contextualiser l’étude de cette dernière, spécialement par des approches comparative, historique et théorique. Par ailleurs, le contrôle de constitutionnalité exercé par les juges constitutionnels est mis en rapport avec d’autres contrôles juridictionnels, qu’ils soient de constitutionnalité ou qu’ils se situent dans l’orbite internationale (Cour européenne des droits de l’homme, Cour de justice de l’Union européenne...). L’ouvrage est divisé en sept titres : • Les contextes de la justice constitutionnelle • Les missions de la justice constitutionnelle • Les acteurs de la justice constitutionnelle • Les actes de la justice constitutionnelle • Les phases de la justice constitutionnelle • Les prolongements de la justice constitutionnelle • La légitimité de la justice constitutionnelle

Building on a series of ESRC funded seminars, this edited collection of expert papers by academics and practitioners is concerned with access to civil and administrative justice in constitutional democracies, where, for the past decade governments have reassessed their priorities for funding legal services: embracing 'new technologies' that reconfigure the delivery and very concept of legal services; cutting legal aid budgets; and introducing putative cost-cutting measures for the administration of courts, tribunals and established systems for the delivery of legal advice and assistance. Without underplaying the future potential of technological innovation, or the need for a fair and rational system for the prioritisation and funding of legal services, the book questions whether the absolutist approach to the dictates of austerity and the promise of new technologies that have driven the Coalition Government's policy, can be squared with obligations to protect the fundamental right of access to justice, in the unwritten constitution of the United Kingdom.

The world has changed radically since 1989, when the General Assembly declared the period from 1990 to 1999 as the United Nations Decade of International Law. During that time, the international community claimed some major achievements as reflected by the adoption of conventions and treaties. This publication presents a collection of essays from legal advisers of States and international organizations, all of whom are among those committed to promoting respect for international law. Their contribution provides a practical perspective on international law, viewed from the standpoint of those involved in its formation, application and administration.
