'Constitutional Change Through Euro-Crisis Law'
The 'Constitutional Change Through Euro-Crisis Law' Project Team is pleased to announce the launch of our Project Website:
http://eurocrisislaw.eui.eu/
The project, run by the EUI Law Department and funded by the EUI Research Council (2013-2015), aims to analyze the constitutional implications of Euro-crisis law in the legal system of the 28 Member States. By Euro-crisis law we mean the legal instruments adopted at European or international level in reaction to the Eurozone crisis.
The study pursues the following objectives:
- To provide an open-access research tool, based on a set of reports for each Member State, that constitutes an excellent basis for further, especially comparative, studies of the legal status and implementation of Euro-crisis Law at national level, the interactions between national legal systems and Euro-crisis law and the constitutional challenges that have been faced;
- To investigate the impact of Euro-crisis Law on the constitutional balance of powers at national level;
- To highlight the effects of Euro-crisis Law on the protection of fundamental and social rights at national level;
- To provide an overview of Euro-crisis Law literature and a collection of relevant official documents in the Member States (available as annexes to the national reports).
The website collects national reports based on a standard questionnaire and on a wider range of sources, including minutes of parliamentary debates, national laws ratifying and implementing Euro-Crisis law, and case-law of national constitutional or supreme courts, so as to focus on ten main topics:
I. Political context
II. Budgetary Process
III. Changes to Constitutional Law
IV. Early Emergency Funding (including EFSF)
V. 136(3) TFEU
VI. Euro Plus Pact
VII. Six-Pack
VIII. ESM Treaty
IX. Fiscal Compact
X. Financial Support
Many of the reports are already online, in part or completed; the remaining reports will be uploaded during the next academic year. Workshops, seminars and conferences linked to the project will be organised and announced on the project website (http://eurocrisislaw.eui.eu/news/). A conference will be held on October 17-18 2014 at the EUI to investigate comparatively the project's findings.

Una Revisión De 'Liberalismo Político' De Rawls (Rawls's 'Political Liberalism'. A Reassessment)
Martha C. Nussbaum
University of Chicago - Law School
July 24, 2014
Revista Derecho del Estado, No. 32, 2014
Abstract:
Spanish Abstract: La obra Liberalismo político de John Rawls ha sido objeto de una amplia y profunda literatura filosófica, la mayoría de una excelente calidad. En este escenario es difícil decir algo nuevo sobre los tópicos más relevantes de su trabajo y salir airosa de los debates por ella suscitados. Por tanto, he decidido concentrar mi atención en algunos tópicos donde existe la posibilidad de una aproximación alternativa que pueda generar lecturas remozadas del texto de Rawls: la distinción entre doctrinas comprehensivas “razonables” e “irrazonables”; los fundamentos psicológicos del liberalismo político; y la posibilidad de que el liberalismo político pueda extenderse más allá del pequeño grupo de sociedades occidentales que Rawls identificó como su centro de atención, según se desprende de sus referencias históricas. También he incluido un excurso sobre el polémico tema de la razón pública y la civilidad que difícilmente puede ser evitado dada su relevancia en el contexto de recepción del libro. El presente escrito debe leerse no como una descripción comprehensiva del trabajo de Rawls, sino como el intento personal por atrapar, de forma imperfecta e incompleta, la esencia de estos temas, tan caros para la filosofía y tan urgentes para la humanidad.
English Abstract: Since Rawls’s Political Liberalism is by now the subject of a wide and deep philosophical literature, much of it excellent in quality, it would be foolhardy to attempt to say something about each of the major issues of the work, or to sort through debates that can easily be located elsewhere. I have therefore decided to focus on a small number of issues where there is at least some chance that a fresh approach may yield some new understanding of the text: Rawls’s distinction between “reasonable” and “unreasonable” comprehensive doctrines; the psychological underpinnings of political liberalism; and the possibility that political liberalism might be extended beyond the small group of modern Western societies that Rawls’s historical remarks suggest as its primary focus. I also include a discussion of the much-debated issue of civility and public reason, which could hardly be avoided given its prominence in the book’s reception. This paper should therefore be read not as a comprehensive account of the work but as one person’s attempt to grapple, very incompletely and imperfectly, with a book that is as great as any philosophy has seen on this topic of great human urgency.

Harry Potter Contra El Legalismo, O La Magia Republicana Del Pluralismo Jurídico (Harry Potter v. Legalism or, the Republican Magic of Legal Pluralism)
Luis Gomez Romero
University of Wollongong
July 24, 2014
Revista Derecho del Estado, No. 32, 2014
Abstract:
Spanish Abstract: Este ensayo acomete una crítica radical de las ideologías legalistas mediante una revisión de las fuentes del derecho en clave pluralista. Los textos literarios – concretamente, las novelas de Harry Potter – son catalogados como fuentes del derecho. A estos efectos, se considera que el derecho inscrito en los mundos narrativos ficticios concierne al derecho en el mundo y las vidas de los públicos que los leen. El derecho es literatura, y la literatura es derecho. Sobre esta base, el artículo analiza la fabulación sobre el imperio de la ley en las novelas potterianas desde una perspectiva republicana.
English Abstract: This essay undertakes a radical criticism of legalist ideologies through a pluralist revision of the sources of law. Literary texts – specifically, the Harry Potter series of novels – are catalogued as sources of law. For this purpose, the law inscribed in fictional narrative worlds is considered as a matter that concerns the law in the real-world and the lives of audiences who read such fictional worlds. Law is literature and literature is law. On this basis, the article analyzes from a republican perspective the fictionalization of the rule of law in the Potter novels.
