The President of Romania in the Jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Romania

Abstract

The work deals with the issues related to the institution of the President of Romania, highlighted by the decisions of the Constitutional Court, important for the evolution of the institution. In the first part of it are analyzed important theoretical aspects regarding the institution of the president, and in the second part the relevant jurisprudence is presented, meant to explain and emphasize the relevance of the theory.

The work aims mainly to identify legal and jurisprudential issues regarding the role, responsibilities, but also the limits within which they must be exercised, for a thorough understanding of the topic.

The book is addressed to all legal specialists, practitioners, theorists or even students – but also to those outside the field who want to find out about the institution of the President.

Political Institutions

Abstract

Political institutions are institutions through which state power is exercised, these are forms through which political power is externalized. What determines the nature of political institutions is their ability to use power to achieve a general interest. In the absence of political institutions, power is exercised conjuncturally, arbitrarily and sometimes in conflict, by individuals. The true nature of political institutions lies in the place they give to the law, the guarantees of fairness and freedom that protect the lives and interests of citizens.

Constitutional Law

Abstract

„Mr. Ştefan Deaconu wrote a textbook about constitutional law with real scientific and didactic qualities. The effort of developing this work should be especially appreciated, because such a paper involves a difficult work of documentation and scientific construction in a dynamic branch of law, where the explanations involve a very high degree of abstraction.

The development of a constitutional law textbook involves not only information, analysis and construction, but also a great power to understand the constitutional phenomenon, to identify real issues, to maintain a balance between science and politics, being known that dealing with fundamental legal issues it can easily slip into politics, even politics.

If the state and the law are instruments for the realization of the policy, the legalization of the policy implies an ample scientific effort, an effort that supposes a great didactic, scientific and practical experience, and the present compendium rises to the level of these exigencies. The content of the ideas, the legal language used, the logic of the exposition and the clarity of the text are particularly impressive. These make it easier to deal with problems in the field.

We are therefore in the presence of a book of very high scientific level, which is addressed, with priority, to novice students in legal sciences, but which can be just as useful to both researchers and legal practitioners. “

The Use of Foreign Precedents by Constitutional Judges

Ștefan Deaconu, Elena Simina Tănăsescu – Analogical Reasoning as a Dialectical Instrument

Abstract

In 2007, the International Constitutional Law Association set up an Interest Group on “The Use of Foreign Precedents by Constitutional Judges” to conduct a study on the use of foreign precedents by Supreme and Constitutional Courts in resolving constitutional cases.

Its purpose was to determine – by empirical analysis using both quantitative and qualitative indicators – the extent to which foreign jurisprudence is cited. The survey aimed to test the reliability of studies describing and reporting cases of cross-border communication between courts.

The research also provides useful insights into the extent to which progressive constitutional convergence between common law and civil law traditions can take place.

This work includes studies by researchers from African, American, Asian, European, Latin American, and Oceania countries, representing jurisdictions belonging to both common law and civil law traditions, and countries using both centralized and decentralized judicial control. The results, published here for the first time, give us the best evidence so far of the existence and limits of a transnational constitutional communication between courts.

Legal Perspectives on the Institution of Parliament

Abstract

Parliament is a representative and deliberative institution, representative by its composition, deliberative by its mode of functioning; today it is a “common good” that is equally appropriated by the political scene and the legal field.

Their authors present recent or perspective aspects, purely theoretical issues or results directly from parliamentary practice, in an extremely open and imaginative manner.

From the analysis of some details of the new legislative procedure established as a result of the revision of the Romanian Constitution in 2003, to proposals for a law on a voting method that would use state-of-the-art technological means, going through specifying new aspects – results from practice – of legislative delegation and parliamentary immunity, the book even includes a rigorous analysis of a topical issue concerning the internal organization of the permanent offices of the Houses of Parliament.
