Social Neuroscience of Psychiatric Disorders is about the role of
the Social Brain in neuropsychiatry. The need to belong to social
groups and interact with others has driven much of the evolution of
the human brain. The relatively young field of social neuroscience
has made impressive strides towards clarifying the neural
correlates of the Social Brain, but, until recently, has not
focused on mental and neurological disorders. Yet, the Social Brain
underlies all brain-behaviour disorders, and nearly every
neuropsychiatric illness involves social behavioural disturbances.
This unique and ground-breaking volume is a major step forward in
deciphering the impact of the Social Brain on neuropsychiatric
disorders. Investigators evaluate neuropsychiatric disorders in the
context of recent advances in social neuroscience to reveal the
impact of social brain mechanisms on neuropsychiatric disorders and
allow readers to glimpse the exciting potential advances in this
field in the years to come. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Social Neuroscience.
Why have referendums on European integration proliferated since the
1970s? How are referendums accommodated within member states'
constitutional orders and with what impact on the European
integration process? What is the likely institutional impact of
referendums on the future of the European integration process?
Drawing on an interdisciplinary approach, these are just some of
the fundamental questions addressed in this book. The central
thesis is that the EU is faced with a 'direct democratic dilemma',
which is compounded by the EU's rigid constitutional structure and
a growing politicisation of the referendum device on matters
related to European integration. Referendums and the European Union
discusses how this dilemma has emerged to impact on the course of
integration and how it can be addressed.

Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and
selected open access locations. Comprehensively examining the legal
effects of EU concluded treaties, this book provides a thorough
analysis of this increasingly important and rapidly growing area of
EU law. The EU has concluded more than 1000 treaties including
recently its first human rights treaty (the UN Rights of Persons
with Disability Convention). These agreements are regularly invoked
in litigation in the Courts of the member states and before the EU
courts in Luxembourg but their ramifications for the EU legal order
and that of the member states remains underexplored. Through
analysis of over 300 cases, the author finds evidence of a
twin-track approach whereby the Court of Justice of the European
Union (CJEU) adopts a maximalist approach to Treaty enforcement
where EU agreements are invoked in challenges to member state level
action whilst largely insulating EU action from meaningful review
vis-a-vis agreements. The book also reveals novel findings
regarding the use of EU agreements in EU level litigation
including: the types and which specific EU agreements (including
the types of provisions) have arisen in litigation; the nature of
the proceedings (preliminary rulings or direct actions) and the
number of occasions in which they have been addressed in challenges
to member state or EU action and the outcomes; who has been
litigating (individuals, institutions, or member states) and which
domestic courts have been referring questions to the CJEU. The
significance of the judicial developments in this area are situated
within the context of the domestic constitutional ramifications for
member state legal orders thus revealing a neglected dimension in
the constitutionalization debates which traditionally emphasized
the ramifications of internal EU law for the domestic
constitutional order without expressly accommodating the
constitutional significance of this external category of EU law nor
the different challenges that this poses domestically. This volume
will serve as a reference point for future work in this area and
will also be of assistance to EU law practitioners dealing with EU
agreements.
Mario no es la victima paciente, la que contempla imperterrito la
llegada del enemigo; no es el cobarde que se paraliza ante la
oscuridad que llena el valle. El verde de los arboles lo anima, el
olor de la polvora lo despierta. No es el hombre que se acostumbra
a guardar silencio ante la injusticia. Su humanidad lo delata y lo
hace aparecer con un acto. Es el acto del pensamiento, es el acto
del inconforme que se parapeta a la palabra como modo de salvacion,
y como acto de lujo, porque guardarse independiente lo es, y muy
pocos lo consiguen.
En el texto "El legado de un mortal," Mario Mendez se pasea por un
universo de temas, que van desde lo amoroso hasta lo politico, y
los aborda con una dosis de ironia, tan necesaria y saludable
siempre cuando el hombre se acerca a las cosas y a sus semejantes.
Mendez no hace concesiones: se muestra crudo y rudo cuando lo
requiere la circunstancia, vuela y no se arrastra cuando abraza la
poesia para ciertas elevaciones. Las ilustraciones que acompanan el
libro, mas que distraer, contribuyen a elongar las sugerencias y
subjetividades que deben siempre abundar en todo ambiente poetico.
Es este un legado, pleno de aciertos y reflexiones, asediado de
denuncias y valoraciones en epocas donde crisis de todo nivel tocan
muchas puertas.
