The European Union's Proposal for an International Investment Court: Significance, Innovations and Challenges Ahead
2016
International audience; Rampant discontent with the current system that governs the protection of international investment and the functioning of investment tribunals has led to a widespread view that there is an urgent need for reform. This is particularly pronounced in the context of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). The European Union (EU) has responded to this need by proposing the creation of an international investment court. With its political weight, the EU confers unprecedented legitimacy on the critics of the current ISDS system and reveals investment dispute settlement in the light of public international law, breaking with its background in commercial litigation. The art…
Jueces y «control de calidad» de los sistemas políticos
2007
Maria.J.Anon@uv.es Este artículo trata de analizar la tesis normativa que atribuye a los jueces la función de garantía de la estabilidad de los sistemas políticos, examen que se lleva a cabo en dos planos. En primer lugar, realizo una valoración de la contribución de la regla de reconocimiento a la identidad y a la legitimidad de los sistemas jurídicos. Planteo, después, la idea de que el rasgo distintivo de la función judicial desde un punto de vista institucional y normativo no es tanto el mantenimiento de la estabilidad del orden político cuanto la garantía de los derechos, subrayando las limitaciones de la tesis analizada en este artículo en contextos de transformación del orden jurídic…
EL PAPEL DE LAS CIUDADES EN LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE LA NACIÓN
2011
Una de las cuestiones importantes que surgieron en el periodo crucial 1810-1812 fue el de la legitimidad y la de la gobernabilidad. ¿Quién gobierna y en nombre de quién?, como ya planteó F.X. Guerra. Las ciudades reasumieron la soberanía y estuvieron al frente de las reivindicaciones nacionalistas. Ausente el monarca, se decide que la soberanía debe volver al pueblo de donde surgió. Ante la situación que vivía España elmundo americano se dividió de la misma manera que en la metrópoli. La disolución de la Junta Central y la constitución del controvertido Consejo de Regencia, conmovió a la sociedad americana y esa inquietud se reflejó en los cabildos. La ciudad como centro articulador y el p…
“Come join us, and lose your accent!” : Accent Modification Courses as Hierarchization of International Student
2021
In this article, we examine the hierarchization of international students by bringing together perspectives of linguistic legitimacy and language ideologies. Our data stems from 26 accent reduction (AR) or accent modification (AM) course descriptions and websites from US universities. Based on their analysis, we discuss the socio-political implications of the phenomenon of these courses for international students and the ways in which language-based, particularly accent-based, arguments are used to create or reinforce different categories of students. We argue that while international students are presented as having different kinds of “comprehensibility problems” that AM/AR courses are cla…
Il legittimo affidamento nel bilanciamento della Corte costituzionale e della Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo in materia di retroattività legisla…
2018
The chapter examines the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence on legislative retroactivity, which is compared to the jurisprudential direction of the European Court of Human Rights. In particular, it is concerned with assessing the compatibility of retroactive laws to the so-called right to peaceful enjoyment of property, referred to in the European Convention on Human Rights.
Corporate Social Irresponsibility and Legitimacy Maintenance: Lessons from the Parmalat Scandal
2014
Audience decisions regarding whether to continue to support a corporation after it has been perceived as culpable for socially irresponsible behaviour is “coin of the realm” in selecting which firms (or which parts of a firm) will be able to survive a CSI-scandal. Our empirical setting is an embedded polar case of audience support, the Parmalat case, following a severe CSI scandal. Whilst the adaptive strategies taken to maintain the harmed moral legitimacy were a necessary procedural phase to consent the firms’ survival, they could not be considered sufficient to reintegrate the firm with its main constituent audiences. Essential to the maintaining process was the presence of rational effe…
Whether an innovation act as a catalytic moderator between corporate social responsibility performance and stated owned and non‐state owned enterpris…
2021
The objective of the study is to signify the impact of corporate social responsibility performance on state‐owned and non‐state‐owned enterprises' performance. The contributive concept of CSR performance has been formulated while contemplating total tax, staff expenditure, public welfare expenditure, social cost and total equity. To contemplate with deep insight, the moderating role of innovation input and output has been substantiated through empirical results. The data of 502 listed companies on Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan has been endorsed for years 2009–2018. Empirical underpinnings reveal that corporate social responsibility performance boosts the non‐state‐owned ent…
Union recognition in Britain's offshore oil and gas industry: implications of the Employment Relations Act 1999
2004
The Employment Relations Act 1999 (ERA) has provided trade unions in the UK with new opportunities for achieving recognition. After a long history of anti-unionism in the offshore oil and gas industry, employers have voluntarily ceded recognition to Trades Union Congress (TUC)-affiliated trade unions. The legitimacy of this recognition process has been contested by the non-TUC Offshore Industry Liaison Committee (OILC), an offshore workers’ union, seeking to act as a recognised bargaining agent. The ERA may be promoting ‘business friendly’ agreements at the expense of claims to recognition of other bargaining agents and of democratic employee choice.
El problema de la autoridad en la cultura (profecía, interpretación, ficción)
2020
ABSTRACT: This paper addresses the issue of the crisis or vanishing of authority in contemporary culture in the particular form of the problem of legitimacy in the use of language. What grounds can speakers find in order to justify their claim to be listened to? I point out that, since this problem has been examined for quite some time in the area of Biblical studies, we could improve our understanding of the current situation by means of an interdisciplinary dialogue. From this perspective, I consider claims to authority under three headings: prophecy, or the individual authority of the speaker; interpretation, or authority derived from a written source; fiction, or renouncing authority; a…
That German Stuff : Negotiating linguistic legitimacy in a foreign language classroom
2018
This qualitative case study of one German suburban high school classroom in the Midwestern United States examines how learners of German negotiate their linguistic legitimacy, which is defined as discursively constructed acceptance or validation for their language use. Specifically, it investigates how the students negotiated legitimacy for using their target language German in their classroom. Based on the premise that linguistic legitimacy is crucial for the maintenance and development of speakers’ languages, data was collected and analyzed from classroom recordings, semi-structured interviews, and participant observations. Findings revealed that, while English dominated the lessons as th…
