Abstract This article examines how global constitutional norms are received and reconfigured by South Asian judiciaries. It makes two central claims. First, it argues that India, as the largest state in the region, acts as a filter through which Bangladesh and Sri Lanka receive both structural and rights-based global norms. Second, it contends that Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan courts adopt distinct approaches to the Indian case law. While Bangladesh mostly converges with the Indian jurisprudence, Sri Lanka engages with it but does not wholly adopt its conclusions. The article puts forward a preliminary explanation for these distinct approaches based on differences in the constitutional structures and political histories of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka vis-à-vis India.
摘要本文探讨了南亚司法机构如何接受和重新配置全球宪法规范。它提出了两个主要主张。首先,它认为,作为该地区最大的国家,印度扮演着过滤器的角色,孟加拉国和斯里兰卡通过它接受结构性和基于权利的全球规范。其次,它认为孟加拉国和斯里兰卡法院对印度判例法采取了不同的做法。虽然孟加拉国在很大程度上与印度的法理学趋同,但斯里兰卡参与其中,但并未完全采纳其结论。本文根据孟加拉国和斯里兰卡与-à-vis印度在宪法结构和政治历史上的差异,对这些不同的方法提出了初步的解释。

Abstract This article examines the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines’ provisions on social and economic rights and welfare. It considers how the 1987 Constitution fits within the post-liberal paradigm of ‘transformative’ constitutional texts that emerged during democratic transitions in the 1980s and 1990s. It then analyses how the Supreme Court of the Philippines responded to the constitutional call for egalitarian socio-economic reform in the first fifteen years after the People Power revolution. The article highlights how the 1987 Constitution envisions far-reaching, progressive socio-economic change, and incorporates both social and economic rights as well as open-ended policy goals in this regard. The article argues that this hybrid approach to distributive justice creates a distinctive set of interpretive challenges for the judiciary. It then argues that the Philippine Supreme Court’s approach to these provisions in the years following the transition to democracy was perfunctory and somewhat inchoate. The court affirmed its jurisdiction over these provisions, but did not develop meaningful standards or principles in relation to them. The article points out that transformative constitutional texts place difficult demands on the judiciary in relation to social and economic rights. They prompt the judiciary into unfamiliar domains. At the same time, institutional legitimacy – including legitimacy on questions of distributive justice – requires judges to sustain the sense of a cogent boundary between constitutional law and politics. The article argues that these challenges were heightened in the Philippines by the textual ambiguity of the 1987 Constitution as well as the relative dearth of jurisprudential resources at the time. It concludes by considering the implications of the Philippines experience for the design of transformative constitutions.
摘要本文考察1987年菲律宾宪法中关于社会经济权利和福利的规定。它考虑了1987年宪法如何适应20世纪80年代和90年代民主转型期间出现的“转型”宪法文本的后自由主义范式。然后分析了菲律宾最高法院在人民力量革命后的头15年里是如何回应宪法要求平等的社会经济改革的。文章强调了1987年宪法如何设想深远的、渐进的社会经济变革,并将社会和经济权利以及这方面的开放式政策目标纳入其中。本文认为,这种分配正义的混合方法给司法部门带来了一系列独特的解释挑战。然后,它辩称,菲律宾最高法院在向民主过渡后的几年里对这些条款的处理是敷衍了事的,而且有些不成熟。法院确认其对这些规定的管辖权,但没有就这些规定制定有意义的标准或原则。文章指出,变革性宪法文本对司法机关在社会和经济权利方面提出了困难的要求。它们促使司法部门进入不熟悉的领域。与此同时,制度的合法性——包括在分配正义问题上的合法性——要求法官保持宪法与政治之间有明确界限的意识。本文认为,菲律宾1987年宪法的文本含糊不清,以及当时法律资源的相对缺乏,加剧了这些挑战。最后,它考虑了菲律宾的经验对改革宪法的设计的影响。

The contestation and construction of global governance authorities: A study from the global business and human rights regime 全球治理权威的争论与建构:基于全球商业与人权机制的研究

The contestation of global governance institutions can strengthen or weaken, as well as transform, them. This article analyses the productive potential of contestation and justification of global governance institutions by examining the multiple authorities that are invoked as auxiliaries in the process. It studies the (re-)construction of these authorities by dissecting authority into three components: power, legitimacy and connection to public interests. Empirically, the article focuses on the issue area of business and human rights, examining the highly contested process of drafting a binding instrument in the United Nations Treaty Process. The analysis shows that the success of the Treaty Process not only hinges on its direct reaction to contestation, but also on its ability to (re-)construct the multiple related authorities. Ultimately, the article argues that the contestation of global governance institutions involves (re-)constructing multiple authorities. This demonstrates how contestation can also affect global governance institutions, actors and norms beyond the specific field of deliberation.
全球治理机构之争可以加强或削弱它们,也可以改变它们。本文通过考察在这一过程中被作为辅助手段调用的多个权威机构,分析了全球治理机构的争论和正当性的生产潜力。本文将权力划分为权力、合法性和与公共利益的联系三个部分,研究权力的重构。从经验上看,本文侧重于工商业与人权的问题领域,审查了在联合国条约进程中起草具有约束力的文书的高度争议的进程。分析表明,条约进程的成功不仅取决于其对争议的直接反应,还取决于其(重新)构建多重相关权力的能力。最后,本文认为全球治理制度之争涉及(重新)建构多重权威。这表明,争论也可以影响特定审议领域之外的全球治理机构、行为体和规范。

The contractualization of fiscal and parliamentary sovereignty: Towards a private international finance architecture? 财政和议会主权的契约化:走向私人国际金融架构?

Abstract A state should be deemed to be enjoying fiscal sovereignty where it is effectively empowered, without pressure or coercion, to make all policy decisions required to run the state machinery and satisfy the fundamental needs of its people (at the very least), both individual and collective. A state’s effective policy and decision-making power is effectively curtailed where: (1) it has been substituted in these functions by a third state or an organ of that state; (2) it is prevented from taking a particular action, such as unilateral default; (3) it is forced to violate fundamental domestic laws, including its constitution or the result of a referendum; or (4) external pressure is exerted against its government and institutions, with the aim of creating volatility and uncertainty concerning its finances so it succumbs to such pressure.
当一个国家被有效授权,在没有压力或胁迫的情况下,做出运行国家机器所需的所有政策决定,并满足其人民(至少)个人和集体的基本需求时,应被视为享有财政主权。在下列情况下,国家的有效政策和决策权受到有效限制:(一)由第三国或者第三国的机关代替国家的有效政策和决策权;(二)被阻止采取特定行动,如单方面违约;(三)被迫违反基本国内法,包括宪法或公民投票的结果;或者(4)对其政府和机构施加外部压力,目的是制造其财政的波动性和不确定性,从而使其屈服于这种压力。

Towards a theory of neoliberal constitutionalism: Addressing Chile’s first constitution-making laboratory 迈向新自由宪政理论:智利第一个制宪实验室
Q3 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2021-04-23 DOI: 10.1017/S2045381721000058

Abstract Before neoliberalism became global, it was an intellectual project that had a particular view of the power of constitutions to limit sovereign states, anchor economic freedoms and protect markets from democratic pressures for greater equality. In Latin America and the developing world, neoliberalism has long been identified with the political economy of the Washington Consensus. However, the comprehensive study of its legal foundations and institutional arrangements is still an area of limited scholarly attention. This article attempts to advance in that direction. By examining the work of Friedrich A. Hayek, Milton Friedman and James M. Buchanan, it explores a theory of neoliberal constitutionalism within Chile, the so-called first neoliberal laboratory. These authors visited the country during the Pinochet dictatorship (1973–90), and were connected with top Chilean authorities as part of their global ambitions to implement their theoretical agendas in real-world scenarios. The article argues that Chile’s constitution-making process between 1973 and 1980 offered an on-site experiment in introducing neoliberal’s radical economic transformation. It addresses how the dictatorship’s natural law-based rule of law principles were compatible with the neoliberal constitutional ideology by supporting a distinctive view of the state’s role and designing the innovative institutional arrangements necessary to guarantee the market’s priority in the structural and rights dimension of the 1980 Constitution. In the wake of Chile’s recent constitutional change agenda, this article not only contributes to the existing debate by reflecting on the ideological origins of the still-persistent constitutional neoliberal features, but also works as a case study for evaluating new global turns towards authoritarian neoliberal politics.
在新自由主义走向全球之前,它是一项智力工程,对宪法的力量有着特殊的看法,认为宪法可以限制主权国家,巩固经济自由,保护市场不受民主压力的影响,从而实现更大的平等。在拉丁美洲和发展中国家,新自由主义长期以来被认为是华盛顿共识的政治经济学。然而,对其法律基础和制度安排的全面研究仍然是一个学术关注有限的领域。本文试图朝这个方向推进。通过考察弗里德里希·a·哈耶克、米尔顿·弗里德曼和詹姆斯·m·布坎南的著作,本书在智利——所谓的第一个新自由主义实验室——探索了一种新自由主义宪政理论。这些作者在皮诺切特独裁时期(1973-90)访问了智利,并与智利高层当局建立了联系,作为他们在现实世界中实施其理论议程的全球野心的一部分。本文认为,智利1973年至1980年的制宪过程为引进新自由主义激进的经济转型提供了一个现场实验。它通过支持国家角色的独特观点,并设计必要的创新制度安排,以确保市场在1980年宪法的结构和权利维度中的优先地位,阐述了独裁政权基于自然法的法治原则如何与新自由主义宪法意识形态相兼容。在智利最近的宪法改革议程之后,本文不仅通过反思仍然存在的宪法新自由主义特征的意识形态起源来为现有的辩论做出贡献,而且还作为评估全球转向威权新自由主义政治的案例研究。

Courts as Guarantors of Democracy 法院是民主的保证人

This chapter discusses the judicial oversight of democracy. Three cases indicate how courts act as guarantors of constitutional democracy, suggesting ways they could react to current populist challenges. First, from India, the basic structures decisions set forth the principle that certain constitutional changes, even if procedurally proper, can go too far in undermining the fundamental character of a democratic order. This series of decisions also claims for the judiciary the power and duty to judge when an amendment oversteps this line. Next, the South African Constitutional Court's decision rejecting the draft constitution to replace the apartheid system establishes that protections against untrammelled majority rule are among these basic features of constitutional democracy. Last, a decision of the Constitutional Court of Colombia to disallow a president from running for a third term goes to how courts can protect competition in the political process. Rejecting a properly enacted constitutional amendment that would have permitted a president to run for a third term, the Court feared lack of rotation in office would chill political debate and contestation. Together, these decisions articulate a distinct challenge for apex courts confronting a challenge to the democratic process itself.
本章论述了民主的司法监督。有三个案例表明,法院是如何充当宪政民主的保证人的,暗示了它们应对当前民粹主义挑战的方式。首先,从印度来看,关于基本结构的决定提出了一项原则,即某些宪法改革,即使在程序上是适当的,也可能在破坏民主秩序的基本特征方面走得太远。这一系列的决定也要求司法部门有权力和义务在修正案超越这条界限时进行判断。其次,南非宪法法院驳回取代种族隔离制度的宪法草案的决定确立了防止不受限制的多数统治是宪政民主的基本特征之一。最后,哥伦比亚宪法法院禁止总统竞选第三任期的决定涉及法院如何保护政治过程中的竞争。最高法院否决了一项允许总统竞选第三任期的宪法修正案,因为它担心总统职位不轮换会使政治辩论和争论降温。这些判决加在一起,对面临民主程序本身挑战的最高法院构成了明显的挑战。

Constitutionalism, Liberalism, and Democracy 宪政、自由主义与民主
Q3 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2021-03-11 DOI: 10.1093/oso/9780192896759.003.0002

This chapter describes the tension between democratic decision-making procedures and constitutional judicial review. It shows that the liberal values that justify a democratic self-government may also vindicate some limits on majoritarian decision-making procedures, but not necessarily in the form of the current constitutional regimes. The chapter argues that constitutional courts are not a necessary feature of a liberal regime. It also acknowledges that democratic decision-making has many defects. These defects concern the fate of persistent vulnerable minorities, the tendency towards short-sightedness, a similar tendency to downplay people's rights and liberties for the sake of greater economic gains or in the force of external threats, and finally the dangers of populism and anti-liberal politics gaining ground within a democratic system. The chapter then depicts courts as essentially conservative institutions which are not — and cannot be — as counter-majoritarian as depicted by legal scholars, mainly because their legitimacy and the acceptance of their decisions depends on the people. It contends that the acceptance and efficacy of judicial review is context dependent, but that some fights still need to be fought in the political, not the legal arena.
本章描述了民主决策程序与宪法司法审查之间的紧张关系。它表明,为民主自治辩护的自由主义价值观也可能证明对多数主义决策程序的某些限制是正确的,但不一定以当前宪政制度的形式出现。这一章认为,宪法法院不是自由政体的必要特征。它也承认民主决策有许多缺陷。这些缺陷涉及持续存在的弱势少数群体的命运,短视的倾向,为了更大的经济利益或外部威胁的力量而轻视人民权利和自由的类似倾向,以及民粹主义和反自由政治在民主制度中取得进展的危险。然后,本章将法院描述为本质上保守的机构,它不是——也不可能是——法律学者所描述的反多数主义,主要是因为它们的合法性和对其决定的接受取决于人民。它认为,司法审查的接受程度和效力取决于具体情况,但有些斗争仍然需要在政治领域进行,而不是在法律领域。

This chapter illustrates the role of international and foreign law in domestic constitutional law. Through the case analysis of South Africa (a post conflict state) and the United States (often seen as a country that is not too friendly to international and foreign legal systems), it discusses the role of international and foreign law in reconciling the regional development of the rule of law in a country, by working closely together with domestic constitutional law. The domestic courts both in the United States and South Africa, whenever they deem it appropriate, do consider international and foreign law in the resolution of disputes before them. The conditions under which each jurisdiction may resort to foreign or international law, as well as the criteria used for taking them into consideration, vary. However, most importantly, this practice should be encouraged as it promotes the uniform interpretation of international law and the progressive advancement of norms world-wide, which are aspects that are especially important in the field of human rights.
本章阐述了国际法和外国法在国内宪法中的作用。通过对南非(冲突后国家)和美国(通常被视为一个对国际和外国法律体系不太友好的国家)的案例分析,本文讨论了国际法和外国法在协调一个国家法治的区域发展方面的作用,通过与国内宪法法密切合作。美国和南非的国内法院在它们认为适当的时候,在解决它们面前的争端时确实考虑到国际法和外国法。每一司法管辖区援引外国法律或国际法的条件以及用于考虑这些条件的标准各不相同。然而,最重要的是,应该鼓励这种做法,因为它促进对国际法的统一解释和世界范围内规范的逐步进步,这些都是人权领域中特别重要的方面。
