Cet ouvrage présente les grands thèmes du droit international public que l'on définit traditionnellement comme le « droit de la société internationale ». Il constitue une synthèse de ses principes et de ses limites en analysant certains défis contemporains majeurs, qu'il s'agisse du terrorisme ou de la protection de l'environnement.

Le droit international public est en permanente évolution, ce qui traduit les hésitations de la communauté internationale face à de nouvelles menaces (prolifération des armes de destruction massive, guerre économique, cyberattaques contre des États...).

Ce livre qui couvre le programme du cours de droit international public dispensé en licence et en master de droit peut également intéresser tous les lecteurs désireux d'actualiser leurs connaissances des règles de fonctionnement de la communauté internationale.

To many observers, European law seems like the endpoint of a mostly random walk through history. Certainly the trajectory of legal systems in the West over the past 2,500 years is far from self-evident. In A Short History of European Law, Tamar Herzog offers a new road map that reveals underlying patterns and unexpected connections. By identifying what European law was, where its iterations could be found, who was allowed to make and implement it, and what the results were, she ties legal norms to their historical circumstances, and allows readers to grasp their malleability and fragility.

Herzog describes how successive European legal systems built upon one another, from ancient times through the establishment and growth of the European Union. Roman law formed the backbone of each configuration, though the way it was understood, used, and reshaped varied dramatically from one century and place to the next. Only by considering Continental civil law and English common law together do we see how they drew from and enriched this shared tradition.

Expanding the definition of Europe to include its colonial domains, Herzog explains that British and Spanish empires in the New World were not only recipients of European legal traditions but also incubators of new ideas. Their experiences, as well as the constant tension between overreaching ideas and naive localism, explain how European law refashioned itself as the epitome of reason and as a system with potentially global applications.

Tamar Herzog is Monroe Gutman Professor of Latin American Affairs and Radcliffe Alumnae Professor in the History Department at Harvard University, and Affiliated Faculty Member at Harvard Law School.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Il volume analizza il processo attraverso il quale, fra la seconda metà dell'Ottocento e i primi anni del Novecento, la scienza giuridica italiana e straniera "costruì" il licenziamento. Per quanto infatti il licenziamento sia un istituto giuridico davvero al centro dei riflettori" esiste ovunque e tutti sanno che cosa significhi e quali conseguenze (non solo giuridiche) produca "la sua genesi è a torto rimasta nell'ombra e non è stata affrontata sistematicamente e nella portata più ampia. Lo scopo, pertanto, è di rispondere alle seguenti domande: quando nacque, in senso tecnico, il licenziamento ? Quali pratiche sostituisce? Quali strumenti furono elaborati per configurarlo? Quali risultati si volevano raggiungere? Quali pericoli si volevano evitare? La ricostruzione della fase estintiva del rapporto di lavoro prende le mosse dal lacunoso sistema della codificazione civile borghese di primo Ottocento, sino a rintracciare i nuovi schemi attraverso i quali legislazione, dottrina e prassi (italiana, europea ed extraeuropea) elaborarono la nozione del recesso e dei contrappesi necessari a contemperare le esigenze di flessibilità dell'impresa e quelle di tendenziale stabilità del posto di lavoro.
