Hacia la ley europea del clima: las evaluaciones científicas y el futuro papel de las respuestas jurídicas de los estados miembros
2021
Los problemas climáticos son temas persistentes y omnipresentes dentro de las políticas y legislaciones contemporáneas, que exigen un enfoque interdisciplinario para promover soluciones jurídicas adecuadas para la complejidad del tema. Paradójicamente, las propagandas negacionistas, lejos de bloquear las acciones climáticas, las han propiciado, lo que ha llevado al establecimiento de un organismo científico super partes que reconociese las cuestiones climáticas a través de informes científicos avanzados: el Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático de la ONU (IPCC). Desde entonces, muchos países han usado los hallazgos del IPCC como base científica para desarrollar polí…

African Law(s)
2023
The book presents a critical rethinking of the study of law in Africa from a comparative law perspective and proposes a new approach on how to consider law in Africa. It highlights the inadequacies of current Western theoretical perspectives in comparative law, especially for studying African law, arguing that they are too eurocentric to fully catch the peculiarities and characteristics of the African “lawscape”. The common thread of the present work is that of consider law in Africa from a different perspective. The aim of the proposed approach is to demonstrate that the African legal culture can be considered at the same level of the Western one, so that – being deeply rooted in the cultu…

In light of the ends. Copyright hysteresis and private copy exception after the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and oth…
2015
In British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and others v Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, the High Court of Justice in matter of private copy exception provides the twofold prime opportunity to shed light on the state of the art of copyright in the UK and to flesh out the idea of 'legal hysteresis’. I support the reintroduction of the private copy exception, possibly in a less narrow fashion, and I explain the reasons why I am confident that my expectations will be fulfilled.
Contract law in the BRICS countries: a Comparative Approach
2017
Having considered the importance of commercial transactions in the ambit of BRICS, the paper comparatively addresses the contract law systems in the five BRICS countries. The aim of the paper is to investigate the way to establish a methodological approach based on a comparative methodology to pave the way for the future development of common principles on contract law in the BRICS countries. Other experiences aiming to achieve the same objective elsewhere (the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, EU Common Frame of Reference, Principles of European Contract Law, Principles of Asian Contract Law) will be considered as possible inspiration for such an endeavor.
La constitucionalización de la estabilidad presupuestaria en Estados Unidos: lecciones de un debate inacabado
2017
El presente artículo tiene por objeto el estudio de la problemática jurídica que ha suscitado a lo largo de la reciente historia de los Estados Unidos la posible constitucionalización de la estabilidad presupuestaria, analizando las repercusiones de ésta a través de las experiencias estatales y del complejo marco institucional de la democracia norteamericana a nivel federal. Con ello, se perfilarán las cuestiones que más dudas suscitan en torno a la balanced budget desde el prisma constitucional y que pueden repetirse en cualquier proceso de similares características.Recibido: 28 agosto 2017Aceptado: 28 noviembre 2017Publicación en línea: 27 diciembre 2017
