Values in Global Administrative Law
Global Administrative Law has recently emerged as one of the most important contemporary fields in public law scholarship. Concerned with developing fuller understandings of patterns in global governance, it represents one of the most insightful ways of viewing the multifarious forms of public power that now exist beyond the State. The present collection brings together some of the leading scholars working in the field of global administrative law to address past and future challenges related to global governance. Each of the contributions picks up on the more general theme of the values that do or should inform global administrative law, and the book in this way provides a novel and thought-provoking commentary on this most engaging area of debate. Values in Global Administrative Law will be of interest to public lawyers, social and political scientists and scholars of international relations. It will also be an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate courses that touch partly or exclusively on the challenges of global governance.
A Cosmopolitan Jurisprudence
Inspired by comparative law scholar Patrick Glenn's work, an international group of legal scholars explores the state of the discipline.
European Legal Cultures
This textbook aims to illuminate the context of law in Europe by exploring its various cultures. Two interpretations of legal culture are considered. Firstly, as it is used in legal philosophy and legal theory - to characterize the professional administration of the law. Secondly, the legal-sociological understanding of legal culture as the sum of conditions that impinge upon the law's development and application, whether this be the procedural methods employed by institutions, the interests and professional qualities of the legal actors, or the general legal consciousness of the public. Both interpretations of legal culture lead to an understanding of law that suggests a certain scepticism regarding the expectation that Western Europe's successfully tried and tested legal models can be quickly applied to other societies as well. Like all cultural assets, law is subject to processes of adaptation and exchange - but its exportability is limited.
Populism and Bureaucracy
Centring on the case study of the relations between PASOK, the left-wing Panhellenic Socialist Movement, and the Greek central state bureaucracy, this book deals with the broader issues surrounding relations between central bureaucracies and incoming governing parties in modern democracies.
Global Law
"But on a planet prey to the tensions born of increasing economic inequalities and the rise of national and regional particularities that cast doubt on the universalism of human rights, is the globalization of law possible, practically speaking? Is it reasonable, that is, imaginable as an organized set according to legal reasoning, when the helter-skelter proliferation of norms and the displacement of legal landmarks create, instead the disconcerting impression of normative disorder? And finally, is the globalization of law ethically desirable, when none of our international institutions are currently able to guarantee respect for democratic values?"--BOOK JACKET.

Interpretation Des Heiligen
The hermeneutic path involved in the interpretation of law as well as in the interpretation of sacred texts, though peculiar, seems - as Emilio Betti pointed out - to share several things, most importantly the "normative" nature of interpretation. The 1999 issue of the Yearbook "Ars Interpretandi" accounts for the several and disparate relationships between these two important "regional hermeneutics".
