The lecture also develops a revisionist approach to the established preeminence of the American and French constitutional traditions and argue for a more global perspective. http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/tag:2010-11-22:165450:883:socleg/fljs-audio http://media.podcasts.ox.ac.uk/socleg/fljs/fljs-dippel-2010.mp3?CAMEFROM=itunesu This lecture establishes the ten essentials of modern constitutionalism, as first developed in the Virginia Declaration of Rights of 1776 This lecture establishes the ten essentials of modern constitutionalism, as first developed in the Virginia Declaration of Rights of 1776 It shows how these essentials gained ground in the evolving American constitutions up to the mid-nineteenth century and how they spread over to Europe in 1789, where the theoretical foundation of modern constitutionalism was established.

The past few decades have seen a sweeping convergence to constitutional supremacy and a corresponding increase in the political importance of constitutional courts worldwide. This trend is widely perceived as a reflection of progressive social or political change, or simply as the result of societies' or politicians' uncritical celebration of rights. Against this canonical backdrop, a realist approach has emerged that draws on comparative research to provide a richer explanatory account of the causal relationships between constitutional law and various political, social, or economic phenomena. This increasingly prevalent approach goes beyond portrayals of constitutions as aspirational documents or solutions to systemic problems of coordination and commitment. It identifies concrete supply-side factors that are conducive to the establishment, maintenance, and demise of constitutional orders, most notably the changing interests and incentives of pertinent political, judicial, and economic stakeholders. Drawing on various examples of constitutionalization, Professor Ran Hirschl from the University of Toronto will elucidate the analytical foundations of this emerging approach and its main theoretical insights. The lecture will explore the strengths and weaknesses of studying comparatively the socio-political foundations of constitutions and constitutional institutions worldwide. http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/tag:2010-05-24:121732:376:socleg/fljs-audio http://media.podcasts.ox.ac.uk/socleg/fljs/Ran-Hirschl-audio.mp3?CAMEFROM=itunesu This lecture by Professor Ran Hirschl explores the strengths and weaknesses of studying comparatively the socio-political foundations of constitutions and constitutional institutions worldwide.

How can these perpetrators be held accountable? Are international prosecutions effective? Is imprisonment a fitting punishment? This lecture explores the potential and limits of liberal criminal law as a method of accountability in the aftermath of atrocity. Drawing from a variety of case-studies, including Rwanda, Timor-Leste, and Bosnia, the lecture argues that the lexicon of justice should transcend the courtroom and the jailhouse. Although accountability for atrocity is a shared cosmopolitan value, pluralism suggests that the process of accountability could well take different forms in different places, to diversify the post-conflict justice narrative and, it is argued, render it more effective. http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/tag:2009-01-29:102012:013:socleg/fljs-audio http://media.podcasts.ox.ac.uk/socleg/fljs/drumbl-medium-audio.mp3?CAMEFROM=itunesu Why do ordinary people perpetrate genocide and crimes against humanity?

He suggests that a new social contract is required that constitutionalizes social and economic rights. Blair's Third Way agenda was radically different from the early twentieth century political settlement in three respects. First, it was largely uninterested in the distribution of wealth in society; second, it conducted direct regulation of working conditions where that was believed necessary to support policy goals; third there was an acceptance, inherited from the preceding conservative governments, that individual bargaining in the context of competitive market forces would be the primary determinant of pay and conditions. To many people, what seems to be missing are certain guarantees to prevent a return to the simple free market in labour of the nineteenth century. This concern can be expressed as a need to reinvent the social contract, to rebalance the economic constitution, or to constitutionalize labour law. http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/tag:2008-12-02:173927:743:socleg/fljs-audio http://media.podcasts.ox.ac.uk/socleg/fljs/collins_20081029.mp3?CAMEFROM=itunesu Professor Collins argues that New Labour was responsible for the real break from the political settlements of the Trade Disputes Act 1906.

It goes on to explain how the ratification of the European Convention on Human Rights, and its incorporation into domestic law under the Human Rights Act of 1998, has radically altered the position, though the inherent problems involved when regular courts become involved in monitoring the activities of security services in times of crisis have not gone away. http://rss.oucs.ox.ac.uk/tag:2008-08-08:121108:751:socleg/fljs-audio http://media.podcasts.ox.ac.uk/socleg/fljs/fljs_simpson.mp3?CAMEFROM=itunesu Delivered by Prof. AWB Simpson at the Aspen Institute on 7 Jul 08, it gives an account of the response of the courts to detention without trial during WWII.
