Democratic Constitutionalism and Constitutional Innovation in Ecuador

Since the renewal of constituent power in the 1991 Colombian constitution, various democratic constitutions in Latin American countries have undertaken important structural changes in both the organization of public powers, the democratic legitimacy of power, and the constitutional reform of rights. Among these new constitutional texts in Latin America, the 2008 Ecuadorean constitution, with sumak kawsay (living well) as its axiological basis, stands out for its originality and theoretical advances as the first case of transitional constitutionalism. All these constitutions, however, are faced with an enforcement problem that hinders their operation as instruments of social transformation. Desde la renovación del poder constituyente en la Constitución colombiana de 1991, varias constituciones democráticas en los países de América Latina han llevado a cabo importantes cambios estructurales tanto en la organización de los poderes públicos, la legitimidad democrática del poder, y la regeneración constitucional de los derechos. Entre estos nuevos textos constitucionales en América Latina, la constitución de Ecuador 2008, con el sumak kawsay (buen vivir) como su base axiológica, destaca por su originalidad y avances teóricos como el primer caso de constitucionalismo de transición. Todas estas constituciones, sin embargo, se enfrentan a un problema de aplicación que dificulta su funcionamiento como instrumentos de transformación social.

The reformation of rights: law, religion, and human rights in early modern Calvinism

John Calvin developed arresting new teachings on rights and liberties, church and state, and religion and politics that shaped the law of Protestant lands. Calvin's original teachings were periodically challenged by major crises - the French Wars of Religion, Dutch Revolt, the English Civil War, American colonization, and American Revolution. In each such crisis moment, a major Calvinist figure emerged - Theodore Beza, Johannes Althusius, John Milton, John Winthrop, John Adams, and others - who modernized Calvin's teachings and translated them into dramatic new legal and political reforms. This rendered early modern Calvinism one of the driving engines of Western constitutionalism. A number of basic Western laws on religious and political rights, social and confessional pluralism, federalism and constitutionalism, and more owe a great deal to this religious movement. This book is essential reading for scholars and students of history, law, religion, politics, ethics, human rights, and the Protestant Reformation.

Joined Up Thinking? An Analysis of the Scottish and English Law Commissions' Proposals for the Reform of Rights in Security and Charges Granted by Companies

The aim of this article is to review the latest reports of the Scottish and English Law Commissions and the English Law Commission's most up to date thinking on law reform within the field of the constitution, priority and enforcement of company charges granted by companies registered in Scotland or England and Wales. The article assesses the recommendations and their effect from the viewpoint of the commercial law practitioner who desires closer integration between the laws of Scotland and England in this area.The terms of reference submitted to the Commissions are firstly evaluated. The Scottish legal requirements for the creation of company charges, or what are more accurately referred to as “rights in security” granted by companies will be considered. Such an analysis will involve an explanation of the “publicity principle” in Scots law in this particular context. The article then scrutinises both Law Commissions' recommendations, revealing that the English Law Commission's proposals are more expansive than those of the Scottish Law Commission. The effect of such disparity will then be considered.
