Mediation and Private International Law: Improving Free Circulation of Mediation Agreements Across the EU

2016

This paper, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs upon request by the JURI Committee, examines the issues arising in the context of cross-border mediation. Cross-border litigation has increased steadily in recent years in Europe as a consequence of the consolidation of the European unification process. The enactment of Directive 2008/52/EC has certainly led to the presence of mediation legislation in the EU Member States. But many important differences can still be ascertained in relation to the legal framework developed, which affect key aspects of mediation. For mediation to obtain full endorsement by citizens in the fu…

The Application of Foreign Law by Judicial and Non-Judicial Authorities: Any News?

2020

The treatment of foreign law by judicial and non-judicial authorities constitutes “a crucial issue” for the proper functioning of any Private International Law (PIL) system. Nevertheless, and despite its relevance, international harmonization on this issue is scarce and old –usually, previous to 1980-, and it combines both a limited scope and little application. Thus, the nature granted to foreign law before national authorities, the way to ascertain its content or to consider when it has been sufficiently proved usually vary significantly among jurisdictions and negatively affect the potential application of foreign law. This situation is widespread. And it is even noticeable in a legally …

Le budget fédéral de l'ère Obama : politique de la chaise vide ou de la caisse vide ?

2013

National audience; Dans le contexte actuel, la politique fiscale américaine paraît briller par son absence. Il s'agit d'un objet scientifique qui doit être reconstruit à partir de bribes législatives souvent contradictoires. Il convient donc d'étudier les difficultés institutionnelles aiguës qui mettent à mal la capacité du pouvoir législatif et exécutif de planifier, contrôler et ordonner la dépense publique. On peut ensuite faire ré-émerger de cet ensemble disparate une trajectoire générale et ainsi comprendre comment, derrière l'apparent dysfonctionnement généralisé, l'État fédéral américain continue de fonctionner.

Faire cause commune au-delà de la frontière ? Le syndicalisme transjurassien en échec (Chapitre 12)

2015

International audience; Après avoir fait le point sur la notion de frontière en science politique, ce chapitre s’intéresse à la coopération syndicale qui a pu se développer entre le Jura suisse et le Jura français, à travers la mise en place d’un conseil syndical interrégional (CSIR). Mais ce dernier, tout en étant implanté sur des terres marquées par une riche histoire syndicale, a disparu au bout de quelques années. Cet échec traduit les difficultés de faire cause commune sur le plan social et syndical par dessus la frontière franco-suisse et donc la résistance de cette dernière dans un contexte qui – européanisation et globalisation aidant – semblerait pourtant être celui de l’estompemen…

The Conservatives’ representation of socialism and liberalism during PMQs since the 1990s

2022

The Conservatives’ representation of socialism and liberalism during PMQs since the 90s.Socialism and liberalism are ideologies which, in Michael Freeden’s terms “are not an exact representation of an ideational reality, but a symbolic reconstruction of it”. Drawing on this premise this paper seeks to analyse how and to what end the Conservatives have made a symbol out of (Labour’s) socialism and (the Conservatives’) liberalism through parliamentary discourse (esp. during PMQs). This process of symbolization through specific rhetoric means results in a clear-cut ideological divide between parties offering an (over)simplified view of the political world. However, symbols are fluid and can ev…
