This book provides an original, international and multidisciplinary
perspective on the recent and extensive political and
constitutional changes in Europe. The contributors cover changes
from several key European countries, whether European Union
members, applicant members, non-EU members or potentially former
members, namely France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Denmark,
Spain, the Western Balkans and Switzerland. The volume offers a
rare understanding of contemporary European societies by examining
how people's choices as citizens and voters have influenced and can
influence those changes and thus make a difference via elections
and referendums. It will appeal to students and scholars of
European studies, comparative politics, and voting behaviour, as
well as to the wider readership interested in current affairs and
European issues.
This book provides an original and multidisciplinary approach on
Magna Carta (1215) as a joint heritage, a source of inspiration
both for long established democracies and countries which only
recently experienced the Rule of Law. Far from simply extolling the
virtues associated with Magna Carta, it explores the gaps of the
Great Charter. Instead of dealing separately with the historians'
and the lawyers' outlooks as two conflicting perspectives, it
juxtaposes the views of medievalist and contemporary historians
with those of practicing lawyers and law academics, offering
readers a thorough yet accessible historic and legal analysis of
the charter and its meaning for the citizens of twenty-first
century democracies. At a time of the erosion of civil liberties
and fundamental rights, The Rights and Aspirations of the Magna
Carta provides a rare insight into the 1215 medieval charter and
its legacy.

This is a time when the rule of law is seriously challenged, when
governments threaten deliberately to break the law, and the
independence of justice is jeopardised by unrelenting pressure from
both the executive and the media. This book aims at contributing to
restoring trust in judges as custodians of the law and justice,
through a comparison between Civil and Common Law countries. It
offers a rare opportunity to gather the expertise of eminent judges
and legal authorities from five different countries, providing a
unique insight into their work and the way they deliver justice
based on their respective professional experience and practise of
the law. Far from being a highly technical debate between experts,
however, the book is accessible to students and the general public,
and raises important contemporary legal issues that involve them
both as citizens, with justice as a shared aspiration, and a common
attachment to the rule of law.
