Book Description
In a cogent, detailed analysis, the author ‘reconstructs’ the legal order of the European Union in a way that best gives meaning to the Treaties, the case law of the Court of Justice, and the various underlying principles of integration that have emerged over the decades. He focuses on instances, or touchstones, in relation to which EU law seems to be building and integrating an ordre public. Among these are the following: international trade law and arbitration; public international law; the ECHR and EctHR; public policy exceptions to the four freedoms; European citizenship; competition law; national and EU procedural law; and protection of social and labour standards. In-depth inquiry into questions which seem subject to very specific limitations – such as when national or EU courts are under an obligation to raise issues of EU law of their own motion, or norms from which private parties may not deviate – captures the breadth of the EU ordre public, greatly clarifying the concept and the variety of ways it operates. Seeking to reconcile numerous strands and processes of EU law in a principled manner, the book reveals a significant potential for a deeper constitutional framework defining the EU ordre public and putting it into operation as a tool to help ensure unity in diversity. It will be welcomed and read closely by jurists, policymakers, and interested academics in Europe and wherever the matter of European integration is studied.

Book Description
Globalization and information technology are driving the world into a new era. Is it the responsibility of business to pursue the common good - and more precisely, to participate in the construction of the global common good? This book brings together contributions from various disciplines, written by scholars who are at the forefront of this debate. It provides multiple insights into a tripartite relationship: business, globalization and the common good. It helps explain why the business sphere will probably not be in a position to ignore the common good much longer, and why this latter concept, widely ignored in today's management realm, is likely to become part of tomorrow's corporate policies and practices in the global context. Finally, this work opens up a plethora of avenues for future research, calling for the development of transdisciplinary approaches and for the elaboration of a research program embracing theoretical, empirical and spiritual perspectives to tackle this complex issue.

Book Description
Cette réflexion originale propose d'"expérimenter", au travers des polices de l'eau, un concept novateur construit à partir d'une approche interdisciplinaire. Le concept d'ordre public écologique pose les conditions d'un environnement reconnu et protégé par le Droit en tant que milieu de vie, en tant que siège de processus qui sont le support de toute vie y compris celle de l'humanité. A partir des fondements et des perspectives de l'ordre public écologique, confrontés à la réalité juridique tant du droit public français que de son droit pénal, nous proposons d'étudier les valeurs accordées à l'eau par les acteurs de sa protection afin d'évaluer l'émergence potentielle d'un tel ordre public non seulement dans le droit mais aussi, en prospective, au travers de l'évolution des consciences, mentalités et pratiques. L'analyse de la matérialité de l'Ordre public écologique à sa matérialisation, à partir des enjeux et de la complexité de la protection et du partage de l'eau, dessine le décalage entre les potentialités du système de Droit et les réalités juridiques. Elle illustre la mesure du défi ouvert pour introduire ces considérations au sein du politique et, ainsi, exprimer un projet sociétal fondé sur des relations Homme-Nature renouvelées qui (ré)introduit l'être humain dans un Tout global rompant avec la perspective économiciste dominante : un cadre où ce ne serait plus la croissance économique qui constituerait le centre de toute préoccupation mais l'Humanité et la (re)construction de relations de réciprocité avec les autres et avec le Milieu.

Book Description
The connection between environment and health has been well studied and documented, particularly by the World Health Organization. It is now being included in some legal instruments, although for the most part caselaw does not explicitly make that connection. Neither the right to life nor the rights to health or to normal development are actually cited in the resolution of cases and in judges' decisions. This volume makes the connection explicit in a broad review of human rights and legal issues associated with public health and the environment. It will be particularly useful as many legal instruments emphasize the right to 'development' without fully discussing the necessary safety and public health aspects, and the respect for the ecology of any area where such 'development' (often unwanted by local or indigenous communities) is to be located. Climate change is another pressing variable that is considered, and several chapters address the interface between human health and ecological conditions. Overall the book integrates perspectives from a wide range of disciplines, including ethics, ecology, public health and epidemiology, and human rights and law.

Book Description
This book considers the principle of ‘sustainable development’ which is currently facing a growing environmental crisis. A new mode of thinking and positioning the ecological imperative is the major input of this volume. The prism of co-viability is not the economics of political agencies that carry the ideology of the dominant/conventional economic schools, but rather an opening of innovation perspectives through science. This volume, through its four parts, more than 40 chapters and a hundred authors, gives birth to a paradigm which crystallizes within a concept that will support in overcoming the ecological emergency deadlock.

Book Description
S'interroger sur l'" ordre public écologique " peut surprendre. Tout ordre public est fondamentalement un ordre social : à première vue, la nature ou l'environnement ou la biosphère ne sauraient être les porteurs d'un ordre public aux différents sens que le juriste peut donner à cette notion. Pourtant utiliser l'épithète " écologique " pour qualifier une dimension de cet " ordre public " exprime la valeur fondamentale que les hommes en société veulent attribuer au respect de leur environnement naturel. Intégrer la dimension écologique à la notion d'ordre public est essentiel à l'heure où les recherches scientifiques permettent de réaliser l'enjeu que représentent les problèmes environnementaux sur le long terme et à l'échelle mondiale. Les domaines et les approches retenues dans ce travail, fruit d'un colloque organisé par le GIDE de l'Université de Bourgogne, sont variés. Le droit international, le droit communautaire et différents droits nationaux sont pris en compte. L'approche de la science politique enrichit les études de droit privé et de droit public. L'ouvrage s'adresse non seulement aux spécialistes du droit de l'environnement mais aussi à l'ensemble des juristes et à tous ceux qui s'intéressent aux questions écologiques dans la société d'aujourd'hui.

Book Description
This book introduces “biolaw” as an integrated and distinct field in contemporary legal studies. Corresponding to the legal dimension of bioethics, the term “biolaw” is already in use in academic and research activities to denote legal issues emerging mostly from advanced technological applications. This book is a genuine attempt to rationalize the field of biolaw after almost four decades of continuous production of relevant legislation and judgments worldwide. This experience is a robust basis for defending a) a separate legal object, covering the total of legal norms that govern the management of life as a natural phenomenon in all its possible forms, and b) an “evolutionary” approach that opens the discussion on a future conciliation of legal regulation with the Theory of Evolution on the ground of biolaw.

Book Description
The academic disciplines of law and sociocultural anthropology have a long but at times contentious history of drawing on each other in order to study and understand law and human experience in its diverse manifestations. This volume provides an innovative and engaging format by giving established and emerging scholars from diverse jurisdictions the opportunity to discuss and reflect upon what they consider to be a ‘leading work’. The collection offers a unique, multi-perspectival reconsideration of the intellectual history of the field whilst also addressing issues that are at the core of interdisciplinary legal research. Contributions shed light on the changing nature of cross-disciplinary research and collaboration, trace how disciplinary understandings of normativity have cross-fertilised each other, and reflect on choices taken within research on law and anthropology along a continuum of theoretical reflection, critique, engagement, and practical application. The book elaborates on the nature and the boundaries of law and anthropology research, as well as on its likely future development in light of the insights shared by contributors on their chosen leading works. The book will make fascinating reading for researchers and academics in both law and anthropology.
