  • Fundamental Labour Rights and the Constitution

    Taylor & Francis Ltd Fundamental Labour Rights and the Constitution

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe book reflects on constitutional balancing from the perspective of fundamental labour rights. It draws on neo-constitutional theories and builds on the assumption that fundamental labour rights, understood as rights aimed at protecting workers during their working life or after retirement, are the normative expression of founding values and can be balanced against equally axiological constitutional principles. The balancing of constitutional labour rights can be conducted by various institutional actors and by applying different techniques. This volume reviews the theoretical debates on judicial balancing and the approaches adopted by the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, to proceed with a closer assessment of Italian and Spanish judicial traditions. In particular, it addresses the main profiles of the case law of the Italian and Spanish Constitutional Courts on labour and social law reforms adopted in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis,Table of ContentsList of abbreviations Introduction: From the EU crisis to constitutional balancing 1 Constitutional balancing of fundamental labour rights 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Constitutional balancing as a method and its theoretical justifications 1.2.1 Against constitutional balancing 1.2.2 The balancing actors 1.2.3 The axiological nature of fundamental labour rights 1.3 Balancing technique(s) 1.3.1 The proportionality test, a critique 1.4 Balancing in fundamental social rights’ adjudication and the essential content dilemma 1.4.1 Italian and Spanish insights on the notion of essential content 1.5 Conclusions 2 Constitutional balancing techniques in the world: A glimpse 2.1 Introduction 2.2 A worldwide panoramic of constitutional balancing 2.3 Balancing in supranational courts 2.3.1 The CJEU way of balancing: a labour reading 2.3.2 The ECtHR way of balancing: a labour reading 2.3.3 On reasonableness 2.3.4 Around values, balancing and proportionality in supranational courts 2.4 A reappraisal of constitutional balancing in Italy and Spain 2.4.1 Balancing in the Italian constitutional case law 2.4.2 Applied balancing in the Spanish constitutional case law and the principle of proportionality 2.4.3 Financial and economic factors in the Constitutional Courts’ case law 2.5 Conclusions 3 Italian and Spanish post-crisis case law and “its” fundamental labour rights 3.1 Introduction 3.2 The relevant Italian post-crisis case law 3.2.1 Public employees’ wage reduction before the Court 3.2.2 Retirement benefits revaluation and the modulation of the Court 3.2.3 On compensation for unjustified dismissal 3.3 The relevant Spanish post-crisis case law 3.3.1 The first and comprehensive judgment on the 2012 labour reform 3.3.2 The second and consistent judgment, one year later 3.4 Fundamental labour rights in the balance 3.4.1 The right to work 3.4.2 The right to collective bargaining 3.4.3 The right to a sufficient and proportionate remuneration and the principle of adequacy of pensions in the Italian case law 3.5 Conclusions 4 Constitutional balancing in the Italian and Spanish post-crisis case law 4.1 Introduction 4.2 The role of the Courts 4.3 The technique applied to supervise the legislator’s balancing 4.3.1 The principle of reasonableness that permeates the Italian constitutional post-crisis case law 4.3.2 The stone guest of the Spanish constitutional post-crisis case law: the principle of proportionality 4.4 The terms balanced 4.4.1 The Italian post-crisis case law and the public financial contingencies 4.4.2 The Spanish post-crisis case law and the overriding fight against unemployment 4.4.3 The economic crisis argument, in the balance? 4.4.4 An uncontroversial axiological term: the freedom to conduct a business 4.5 Conclusions Conclusions Bibliography Index

  • Human Rights and the Digital Divide

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Internetâs importance for freedom of expression and other rights comes in part from the ability it bestows on users to create and share information, rather than just receive it. Within the context of existing freedom of expression guarantees, this book critically evaluates the goal of bridging the 'digital divide' â the gap between those who have access to the Internet and those who do not. Central to this analysis is the examination of two questions: first, is there a right to access the Internet, and if so, what does that right look like and how far does it extend? Second, if there is a right to access the Internet, is there a legal obligation on States to overcome the digital divide?Through examination of this debateâs history, analysis of case law in the European Court of Human Rights and Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and a case study of one digital inclusion programme in Jalisco, Mexico, this book concludes that there is indeed currently a legal right to IntTable of Contents1.

  • British Media and the Rwandan Genocide

    Taylor & Francis Ltd British Media and the Rwandan Genocide

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThroughout the 1990s, humanitarian interventionism sat at a crossroads, where ideas about rights and duties within and beyond borders collided with an international reality of civil conflict where the most basic human rights were violated in the most brutal manner. This growing awareness of humanitarian crises has been enabled by a more globalized media which increasingly shapes public perceptions of distant crises, public opinion, and political decision-making. Clarke examines the extent to which the public discourse, and particular concepts, including those of an ethical and legal nature, influenced British newspaper coverage of the 1994 crisis in Rwanda, and, in turn, the extent to which that coverage influenced the British Parliamentâs response to the crisis. Through his development and application of a broader methodological approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the book offers a fuller understanding of the relationship between media cTrade Review"...one of the great things about Clarke’s book: he does open a long line of questions for possible future inquiry. Application of his methodology to news coverage of other humanitarian crises may also yield important results. Such findings could change how the media deals with stereotyping, pressuring governments, and perceptions of objectivity." - Samantha Stevens, Concordia University, in the Journal of Communication 2019"...a complex and considered study, which adds much to our understanding of media responses to the Rwandan tragedy and should ultimately become an important read for those with an interest in a variety of related fields. ...scholars with an interest in a variety of fields—media and human rights, international relations, British politics—will find this book to be a worthwhile addition to their library." - David Patrick, The International Journal of Press/Politics."As Clarke emphasizes in his book, the liberal interventionist ideals of the decade he captures may not have endured; nonetheless, this work illustrates the value of methodological research to challenge the historical narratives they wove. Such methodologies could be used to challenge other assumptions or examine falsehoods." - Catherine Bond in African Affairs 2022. Table of ContentsPart IIntroduction1.
