Institutional Change in Spanish Chambers of Commerce

2021

This chapter explains the evolution of the chambers of commerce in Spain. The chambers have always faced political and associative tensions, generating tremendous internal instability, and multiple attempts to make them disappear. They adopted a public model with a mandatory fee in the early days. The Dictatorship decided to convert them into public agencies and cancel their representative aspirations. In the democratic era, several legal reforms have decreed that chambers of commerce are corporations under public law with voluntary affiliation. Pressure from voluntary business associations has been crucial in this regard. Both compulsory membership and the mandatory fee disappeared as a co…

Decisiones automatizadas: problemas y soluciones jurídicas. Más allá de la protección de datos

2021

La creciente capacidad computacional de los sistemas automatizados de procesamiento de datos ha generado un aumento de su utilización en toda clase de actividades humanas. Estos sistemas pueden procesar cantidades masivas de datos y proporcionar resultados muy precisos, ayudando a los responsables de la toma de decisiones, tanto en el sector público como en el privado, a clasificar a los seres humanos y a predecir sus acciones.

Tradition and Foreign Influences in the 19th Century Codification of Criminal Law: Dispelling the Myth of the Pervasive French Influence in Europe an…

2018

Any civil law student knows that most of provisions in any European or Latin American civil code derive from Roman law, that they were the outcome of a long and gradual scholarly elaboration extending from 12th century glossators to the natural lawyers of the 18th century. However, there is no such consensus about criminal law. The civil law tradition has doubtlessly committed more effort to the scholarly development of private law institutions than to those of public law, privileging civil law over criminal law. The main consequences of this fact are twofold: (i) 19th century criminal jurisprudence is sometimes presented as if had arisen out of the blue, or as if institutions contained in …

Considerations on the Best Interests of the Child as a Principle of Exercising Parental Authority

2016

Abstract The principle of the best interests of the child is the basis for international or national normative documents adopted after the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

This study presents such aspects as referring to the principle of the best interests of the child, including from a historical perspective, while also emphasising concern in the doctrine fo…
