A separação de poderes e direitos fundamentais: algumas reflexões a partir de exemplos emblemáticos vindos dos Países Baixos
Get PDFThe article outlines a brief constitutional-institutional scenario of the Netherlands as background to analyze two paradigmatic cases, the Urgenda case and the childcare allowance scandal. These two cases bring to light different behaviours of the judge in offering legal protection to fundamental rights. The analysis of these cases in the Dutch model, in which there is no judicial constitutional review, is enlightening about the new challenges faced by the State -climate change and the advent of the digital era- and the need to rethink the theory of separation of powers aiming to offering effective legal protection to fundamental rights.The Legitimacy and Effectiveness of Law & Governance in a World of Multilevel Jurisdiction

Resisting the allure of future generations’ rights: the ECtHR’s approach to climate action in KlimaSeniorinnen
Get PDFKlimaSeniorinnen - a historic decision: without relying upon future generations’ rights, the European Court of Human Rights answered to climate change by seriously addressing climate action as a legal duty.Without disregarding the complexity of the matter, let us reflect on the imagery the KlimaSeniorinnen decision evokes. The case presented by elderly women led to a groundbreaking judgment on climate change, while climate litigation has been dominated by arguments in favor of future generations. The Court distanced itself from seductive discourses and centered its reasoning on State obligations required for intergenerational burden-sharing.In this post I want to shed light on the following aspect of the KlimaSeniorinnen decision: the fact that the Court did not rely on future generations’ rights, but instead sketched a meaningful shift towards identifying positive duties to tackle a proportional intergenerational burden-sharing imposed by rights. The KlimaSeniorinnen decision seems to constitute an important landmark in the discussion about future generations.The Legitimacy and Effectiveness of Law & Governance in a World of Multilevel Jurisdiction
Hoe serieus moeten we het internationaal recht nemen?: over de relatie tussen artikel 90, 93 en 94 Grondwet
Get PDFHoe serieus moeten we het internationaal recht nemen? Over de relatie tussen artikel 90, 93 en 94 GrondwetDeze kwestie lijkt mij actueel en dringend in Nederland, waar rechtstreeks werkend internationaal recht fungeert als een kader van “hoger recht”. De concrete vraag die ik in deze bijdrage wil stellen luidt: is er een plicht voor de regering, om zich coherent tot dit “hoger recht” te verhouden? Mijn conclusie is dat artikel 90 Grondwet deze plicht onvermijdelijk maakt.Hier schets ik eerst een beeld van hoe grondwetten doorgaans de rol van hoger recht vervullen (en waarom dit belangrijk is). Vervolgens kijk ik naar Nederland en de rol van het internationaal recht. Ten slotte maak ik duidelijk waarom het belangrijk is om internationaal recht serieus te nemen – de oplettende lezer herkent hierin ongetwijfeld de invloed van Ronald Dworkin, van wie ik ook het idee van coherentie geleend heb.The Legitimacy and Effectiveness of Law & Governance in a World of Multilevel Jurisdiction
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
