“…Morally or ideologically, CL11 often foregrounds respect for difference, even its celebration. CL11 often involves an aim of understanding foreign legal systems 'on their own terms' (Valcke, 2012: 25 (emphasis removed)). Unlike practitioners of the more nakedly instrumental, reformist varieties such as CL6 and CL7, practitioners of CL11 may aver that they undertake comparative law as an 'entirely academic' enterprise 'in the spirit of "Art for Art's Sake"', like cultural studies or comparative literature (Riles, 1999: 247).…”

“…Although the mismatch between administrative law and regulatory law is a handicap for any legal inquiry focused on regulation, even purely domestic regulation, it is especially so in the global context. Comparing administrative law falls into the trap of comparing the proverbial apples and oranges (Dannemann, 2008;Valcke, 2012). At best, comparative administrative law risks being relatively uninformative on how the law governs the regulatory function in different jurisdictions: in some countries, regulation may be handled by legal actors other than administration, such as legislators and criminal prosecutors, while in other countries there may be very little regulation at all.…”

When individuals post their photographs, shopping habits, and other personal data to social networking sites they are tracked and potentially harassed by the scores of corporate actors with access to their data. As governments worldwide have sprung into action to address this regulatory problem, industry groups and consumer advocates have also mobilized. To give but one example, in the past three years, the world's leading social networking company has defended lawsuits claiming unfair consumer tracking in the United States and the European Union (EU), has settled administrative and civil enforcement actions brought by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the Belgian Data Protection Authority, and the Hamburg Data Protection Authority, and has lobbied for looser consumer-tracking rules in the European Union, the United States, Latin American countries, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation system. 1 Although there are substantial limits on what social networking sites can do with personal data in the European Union and many Latin American countries, there are relatively few restrictions in the United States and various Asian jurisdictions. Parabens are a group of chemicals widely used in cosmetics and personal care products. Although they significantly extend the shelf life of creams and sprays, they have also been linked to cancer and other types of health concerns. The regulatory battle over whether to ban or restrict their use is occurring in legislatures, administrative agencies, and international organizations throughout the world. Multinational corporations, members of the scientific community, and environmental and consumer groups have sparred over parabens in a vast array of venues-to name just a few, the

“…Metodologicamente, a comparação jurídica é a operação intelectual do contraste entre ordenamento jurídicos, institutos e normativas de diferentes sistemas, a fim de oferecer uma autorreflexão ou o desenvolvimento de valores cosmopolitas (VERGOTTINI, 2004;HIRSCHL, 2014). Desse modo, a partir do método funcionalista, busca-se compreender as principais características do constitucionalismo não escrito do common law, desde uma perspectiva interna dos autores/as, inseridos no contexto do civil law (VALCKE, 2012). Portanto, buscamos analisar os contrastes e peculiaridades entre os dois sistemas, isto é, apontar os principais encadeamentos entre o constitucionalismo escrito com o não escrito.…”

Resumo O presente trabalho discute os modelos de constitucionalismo não escrito do common law, e suas principais características que instituem novas possibilidades representativas da constituição. Usualmente, cria-se uma distopia divisória do elo entre o escrito com o não escrito, enxergando o texto constitucional como um dogma e uma previsibilidade nas decisões judiciais. Contudo, se os direitos humanos e fundamentais são abertos e abstratos, a mera codificação não restringe seu entendimento. Desse modo, este trabalho busca apresentar novos caminhos interpretativos da constituição, a partir da ênfase nos princípios não escritos, da coerência aos precedentes judiciais, e na possibilidade de uma constituição viva. O método de pesquisa foi funcionalista do direito constitucional comparado. Os resultados alcançados demonstram que a dimensão não escrita do texto constitucional permite definir a constituição como um instrumento vivo, e em constante evolução.
