Hans Kelsen on Constitutional Democracy: Genesis, Theory, Legacies
This volume challenges conventional interpretations by demonstrating that Hans Kelsen was far from being a purely formalist thinker. Instead, it highlights his profound and enduring engagement with the threats facing constitutional democracies. The political and institutional upheavals of interwar Europe significantly influenced Kelsen's evolving vision of democracy, as this volume shows. His contributions to twentieth-century democratic theory i…
From Textual Hermeneutics to Law: The Genesis and Development of Law and Rights in Ricœur
The article traces the distinctive genesis and development of law and rights in the work of Paul Ricœur. The distinctiveness of the Ricœurian approach rests upon a process of hermeneutical enquiry which insists upon the connection of law and rights with ethics and morality. The manner in which this relationship is determined renders Ricœur’s analysis equally distinctive as it is elaborated beyond the confines of legal positivism and the modern na…

Between social science and cognitive science: Gunther Teubner on fundamental rights
Teubner’s theory of law and fundamental rights, between social science and cognitive science, originates in the transfer of the neurobiological notion of autopoiesis to the domain of social science in the social systems theory of Niklas Luhmann. This transfer involves the fundamental reconsideration of the framework of classical sociology for the analysis of society and social life. The further Teubnerian development of social systems theory aris…

Perceptions, preferences and barriers: A qualitative study of greenspace and under‐representation in Leeds, UK
Greenspaces facilitate well‐being benefits for humans in several ways including through cognitive restoration, physical exercise and social interaction. However, some groups are under‐represented in greenspaces, including women, older people, those with health conditions, people with lower socioeconomic status and people from ethnic minority backgrounds, and so are less likely to accrue these benefits. Using thematic analysis and semi‐structured …
Introduction: Affinity and divergence
The underlying presumption of a reconstruction the notion of the juridico-political is organized into four analytical parts. Each part concentrates upon a particularly indicative element, within the notion of the juridico-political, through which to trace a theoretical process of reconstruction and, thus, specific aspects of affinity and divergence. The pertinence arises, in the first path of reflection, through the consideration of the concept o…
The Foundation of the Juridico-Political: Concept Formation in Hans Kelsen and Max Weber
Hans Kelsen and Max Weber are conventionally understood as initiators not only of two distinct and opposing processes of concept formation, but also of two discrete and contrasting theoretical frameworks for the study of law. The Foundation of the Juridical-Political: Concept Formation in Hans Kelsen and Max Weber places the conventional understanding of the theoretical relationship between the work of Kelsen and Weber into question. Focusing on …
The Reconstruction of the Juridico-Political: Affinity and Divergence in Hans Kelsen and Max Weber
Hans Kelsen and Max Weber are conventionally understood as the original proponents of two distinct and opposed processes of concept formation generating two separate and contrasting theoretical frameworks for the study of law. The Reconstruction of the Juridico-Political: Affinity and Divergence in Hans Kelsen and Max Weber contests the conventional understanding of the theoretical relationship between Kelsen’s legal positivism and Weber’s sociol…

Hans Kelsen's Theory of Legal Monism. A Critical Engagement with the Emerging Legal Order of the 1920s
This article concentrates upon Hans Kelsen’s theory of legal monism, as presented in his Lecture delivered at the Académie de droit international, The Hague, in 1926. This Lecture propounds a legal theory which enables a critical engagement with the emerging legal order of the 1920s. The article draws upon recent scholarship regarding the international legal agreements adopted in 1924 (the London Accords) and 1925 (the Locarno Accords) to demonst…
Benchmarking work practices and outcomes in Australian universities using an employee survey
The purpose of the current study was to benchmark a broad range of work practices and outcomes in Australian universities against other industries. Past research suggests occupational stress experienced by academic staff is worse than experienced by employees in other industries. However, no other practices or outcomes can be compared confidently. Using a well-validated and normed employee survey, responses were collected from 26 226 academic and…
The Development of the Concept of Development
Examination of the way in which children conceive the development of animals showed the following. There exist parallels among concepts of development both to the concepts of Piaget’s period of concrete operations thinking and to the concepts of his period of formal operations thinking. It is suggested that conceptions of development proceed to advance further in the subsequent period of dialectical thought, though this is achieved at present by …
Extradition and fundamental rights: The perspective of the European Court of Human Rights
This paper provides a critical examination of the approach of the European Court of Human Rights to the process of extradition. It focuses upon the application of the European Convention of Human Rights to the processes of extradition, in the recent cases of Mamatkulov and Abdurasulovic v. Turkey and Shamayev and Others v. Georgia and Russia, in order to reveal the inconsistencies and difficulties of the position of the European Court of Human Ri…
The Rwandan Path to Genocide: The Genesis of the Capacity of the Rwandan Post-colonial State to Organise and Unleash a project of Extermination
This article focuses on the link between the capacity to unleash a programme of extermination between 1 January and 31 December 1994 and the particular development and structure of the post-colonial state in Rwanda. It traces this ability to plan, organise and implement such a programme to the character of the institutional framework of the Rwandan state. This premeditated and organised campaign of extermination is the result of the cumulative ra…
The Self-Reflection and Insight Scale: A New Measure of Private Self-Consciousness
Private self-consciousness and the subordinate constructs of self-reflection and insight are key factors in the self-regulatory process underpinning the creation of behavior change, both in clinical practice with clinical populations, and in performance enhancing coaching with nonclinical populations. This paper reports the construction and validation of the Self- Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS) which is designed to be an advance on the Priva…
Obligation Conditionals in a Nonstandard Conditional Selection Task: General versus Specific Reasoning Strategies as a False Dichotomy
The paper reports a study comparing performance on obligation and causal conditionals in the explicit standard order conditional selection task. Analysis indicated that both general and specific reasoning strategies are used when a request is given to disprove obligation conditionals, contradicting the prevalent view that only one of the two kinds of strategy is used and confirming the 1993 suggestions of Evans and later ones by Evans and Over. T…

A Neglected Window on Hypothesis Testing in Adolescence: Explicit Standard Order Conditional Selection Tasks
The paper reported four experiments on explicit standard order conditional selection tasks, which permit more direct inference of subjects' strategies than do other conditional selection tasks. The experiments allowed plausible rational support-seeking strategies to be reduced from nine to three, disproof strategies from six to three. The main strategy in early adolescence was either (1) models-based deduction, as suggested by Johnson-Laird and B…

Refining a Non-Kohlbergian Decision-Making Approach to the Production of Justifications for Moral Judgements
This paper reports two studies primarily designed to refine understanding of the influence of interview topic on the proportions of major types of justifications for moral judgements encountered during moral judgement interviews. It was assumed that subjects will tend to report the use of information that supports their decisions when a definite decision is made and will report all kinds of relevant information when they are uncertain what to dec…
Evaluation Strategies for Some Nonstandard Conditionals During Adolescence
380 adolescents and young adults between the ages of 11 and 29 years participated in three experiments in which they were asked to evaluate both universally quantified nonstandard and standard conditionals using items of information bearing upon them. Subjects found it much easier to avoid a biconditional interpretation with the nonstandard than with the standard conditionals, which throws doubt on the explanation of desire for symmetry of bicond…

Intellectual and Moral Development in Adolescence
S ummary . 65 girls between 12 and 15 years of age were presented with four of Kohlberg's ‘moral dilemma’ stories and Inhelder and Piaget's ‘floating bodies' problem. The relation between level of moral judgment and formal operations was found to change from negative in Kohlberg's earlier stages to positive for the later stages of moral judgment. It was concluded that reasoning at the stage of formal operations is a precondition for progress to K…

A Test of a Two-Stage Model of the Evaluation of Hypotheses from Quantified First-Order Predicate Logic in Information Use Tasks
480 adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12 and 29 years participated in an experiment in which they were asked to evaluate hypotheses from quantified first-order predicate logic specifying that certain classes of event were necessarily, possibly, or certainly not included within a universe of discourse. Results were used to test a two-stage model of performance on hypothesis evaluation tasks that originated in work on the evaluation …
