Hernando, Nieto Eduardo. "Constitutionalize the law or politicize the Constitution? Threats, risks and dangers in contemporary constitutionalism." Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2013. http://repositorio.pucp.edu.pe/index/handle/123456789/116349.
Full textDesde inicios de la modernidad se ha venido imponiendo el empleo de la retórica, es decir, la técnica de pervertir el lenguaje dotando a los conceptos de distintos significados para presumir que nada ha cambiado cuando en realidad sí se ha dado el cambio. Esto mismo acontece con el concepto de Constitución, que ha modificado completamente su sentido apartir del avance de la moral de los derechos individuales. Este texto pretende mostrar la naturaleza de este cambio y reivindicar a su vez la vigencia del «viejo constitucionalismo» y el imperio de la ley y la decisión política a partir de una lectura crítica del constitucionalismo contemporáneo y su tendencia a constitucionalizar o materializar el derecho, contribuyendo paradójicamente a poner en riesgo los valores que pretende defender.

Full textObiettivo di questo lavoro è analizzare, dal punto di vista del diritto costituzionale, alcuni profili del sistema di tutela multilivello dei diritti fondamentali che si è consolidato nello scenario giuridico europeo negli ultimi decenni. La ricerca muove dall’analisi di alcuni aspetti del processo di «costituzionalizzazione» dell’ordinamento dell’Unione europea alla luce dell’intensa polisemia del concetto di costituzione e del dibattito sorto negli anni Novanta in merito alla possibilità di concepire una Costituzione europea. Successivamente si procede a descrivere ed indagare la moltiplicazione delle sedi di tutela dei diritti fondamentali, concentrando l’attenzione sull’effettivo «livello di protezione» che tale struttura reticolare può garantire. L’ultima parte è infine dedicata allo studio di alcuni conflitti costituzionali che hanno visto contrapporsi negli ultimi anni, sul punto della ricostruzione delle relazioni intersistemiche ovvero sullo standard di protezione dei diritti fondamentali, la Corte di giustizia dell’Unione e le Corti costituzionali nazionali.

Full textTras lo sucedido el año 1989, la doctrina señala que nos encontramos en “la Hora Mundial del Estado Constitucional”. Pero ¿cuáles son las implicanciasde ello? ¿Cómo ha impactado ello en la disputa dela doctrina alemana por la correcta comprensiónde la naturaleza de la Constitución? ¿Cuál debe serla labor del profesor de Derecho Público y Derecho Internacional en este contexto?En el presente texto, el autor comenta el fenómeno señalado y, para ello, recurre a figuras como la del Estado Constitucional Cooperativo, o la de las constituciones vivas. Las constituciones, afirma, no son solo producto del constitucionalismo, sino que múltiples otros factores deben ser tomados en cuenta.

Full textLa tesis analiza el alcance y los límites de la democracia de forma histórica y normativa. Tiene dos objetivos principales. Primero, explicar históricamente cómo una serie de instituciones que habían sido tradicionalmente consideradas como límites a la democracia fueron incorporadas al concepto de democracia, hasta el punto de ser consideradas necesarias para su correcto funcionamiento. Segundo, analizar dos casos especialmente relevantes en los que el alcance de la democracia está fuertemente limitado: el constitucionalismo y la toma de decisiones en las empresas. La Primera Parte analiza históricamente el concepto de democracia, y su alcance, en los Estados Unidos de América en el periodo revolucionario y postrevolucionario. Se halla un doble desplazamiento. Primero, un incremento en la aceptación de la idea de democracia debido a la aceptación del desacuerdo político como un fenómeno legítimo y la consiguiente crisis de la teoría de la representación virtual, según la cual la sociedad es una entidad orgánica con un conjunto de intereses compartidos que deben ser aislados de la política democrática y el partidismo. Segundo, un desplazamiento del concepto de democracia, según el cual muchos de los mecanismos institucionales que habían sido tradicionalmente vistos como límites al alcance de la democracia pasaron a ser considerados no sólo consistentes con la democracia sino de hecho necesarios para su correcto funcionamiento. En resumen, la democracia ganó aceptación en la medida en que su alcance quedó reducido. El resto de la tesis analiza normativamente los límites al alcance de la democracia en relación a dos casos especialmente relevantes: el constitucionalismo y la toma de decisiones en la empresa. La Segunda Parte analiza las principales teorías normativas del constitucionalismo —y, concretamente, de la rigidez constitucional y la revisión judicial de las leyes— y muestra que todas ellas resultan insuficientes para justificar los límites constitucionales desde un punto de vista democrático. Se analizan tres tipos de teorías: instrumentalistas, basadas en precompromisos y procedimentales. Aunque se identifica toda una serie de problemas, es común a todas ellas su incapacidad para acomodar adecuadamente el desacuerdo político en materia constitucional, incurriendo así en diversas formas de organicismo. Finalmente, la Tercera Parte analiza la toma de decisiones en las empresas, un ámbito que es generalmente considerado ajeno al alcance de la democracia. Se analizan los principales modelos de democracia en la empresa —cooperativismo y codeterminación—, así como los principales argumentos a favor y en contra de la extensión de la toma de decisiones democrática a las empresas. Por último, se presenta un argumento original, de raíz republicana y apoyado en la teoría de los contratos (laborales) incompletos, a favor de la democracia en las empresas. Así mismo, se analizan las asimetrías negociadoras y los problemas de riesgo moral derivados de la separación formal entre control y propiedad en las empresas democráticas.

Asimismo, realiza un análisis crítico de los planteamientos positivistas e iusnaturalistas, conectando los mismos con el entendimiento del Derecho y del orden jurídico, poniendo énfasis en la rama del Derecho Administrativo.

Full textThis thesis aims at examining the foundations of legitimacy for democratic decisions and hence at elucidating the nature of democracy as a political regime. Two questions are at its core. First, what makes a democratic decision legitimate? Second, must a decision be democratic to claim legitimacy? This work presents different accounts of legitimate decisions within the democratic regime. In light of their respective limits, it defends a dual conception of legitimacy that aims at reconciling, under specific conditions, the components that are in tension with one another in competing conceptions. I show that procedural conceptions are unable to account for the idea that the injustice or inanity of popular decisions might undermine their legitimacy, and that they result in a logical deadlock. Focusing on experts and constitutional judges, I suggest that substantive accounts tend to impose extrnal standards on the democratic process that it cannot generate on its own. I then introduce the idea of democratic constitutionalism and argue that procedural and substantive requirements for legitimacy may be reconciled within it. Democratic constitutionalism allows one to view democracy as discovering its own norms over a long-tem process of approximation and development. As such, it can be linked to an epistemic approach to democracy, according to which, under some restrictive conditions, the participative, inclusive and egalitarian procedures that democracy distinctively relies on tend to result in collective choices that are substantively more just than in other regimes

Full textIn what seems like the blink of an eye, transgender rights has catapulted from a nonissue in American politics to the peak of the culture wars. Scholarship on the transgender rights movement has proliferated rapidly in recent years, most of it sympathetic to the cause but some of it critical. Missing from this literature, however, is a serious examination of how courts and agencies have justified their efforts to advance what Vice President Joe Biden in 2012 called “the civil rights issue of our time.” This dissertation tries to fill that gap. Through an in-depth analysis of court precedents and agency pronouncements, and an examination of the assumptions behind regulators’ redefinition of male and female, it suggests that noble intentions have led civil rights institutions into a thicket of interpretive difficulties and regulatory dilemmas. First, judges and administrators have declared biological sex a “stereotype,” but have offered virtually no explanation for why this is so. This has resulted in regulatory peculiarities, including: courts relying on “stereotypes” when invalidating policies that they deem stereotypical; agencies instructing schools to adopt conflicting definitions of male and female; and government officials unable or unwilling to explain why separating restrooms and athletic teams by a non-physical understanding of sex is necessary in the first place. The deeper reason for these peculiarities, I argue, is a failure to articulate a coherent account of what makes us sexed beings. Second, civil rights officials have argued that their interpretation of federal law finds unambiguous support in a body of court rulings that condemn stereotyping. The problem with this argument, I suggest, is that the precedents that are cited actually say the opposite of what they are made out to say. They say that sex is biological, and that transgender women are biological men who fail to live up to social expectations about maleness. By invoking the abstract notion “stereotype,” regulators hide their break with precedent from citizens and perhaps also from themselves. Transgender regulation thus raises important questions about legal interpretation in relation to constitutional government, and about the role of the legal profession within liberal democracy. This dissertation challenges two dominant narratives about transgender rights. According to one, transgender rights is part and parcel of a broader postmodernism that is tearing through American institutions and weakening the foundations of Western societies. According to the other, transgender rights is a logical extension of the original civil rights revolution and a fulfillment of liberalism’s deeper humanitarian impulses. I argue that transgender regulations are more “conservative” than those who decry (or hope for) postmodernism believe, but more postmodern than those who appeal to liberal equality seem willing to acknowledge
