Cet ouvrage aborde un champ d'étude relativement nouveau en droit. En effet, la coopération transfrontière est un phénomène apparu dans le courant des années soixante, en Europe principalement. Depuis, les relations transfrontières entre villes, communes ou régions ont pris une importance croissante et constituent aujourd'hui une composante incontournable des relations internationales. Un Accord international a été adopté en 1980 au sein du Conseil de l'Europe : il est aujourd'hui ratifié par 18 États. Mais cette convention, si elle marque la reconnaissance par les États de l'émergence des pouvoirs locaux et régionaux sur la scène des relations internationales, ne résout guère les problèmes juridiques que soulève le développement du phénomène. Cette étude, constatant l'insuffisance du cadre juridique existant, propose par le recours à une terminologie nouvelle, une approche synthétique du phénomène. Située aux confins du droit interne et international, souvent entre droit privé et droit public, l'étude de la coopération transfrontière amène à considérer certains mécanismes fondamentaux du droit selon une perspective nouvelle. Par une réflexion approfondie sur les questions soulevées, cet ouvrage tente de clarifier la portée et les limites des institutions du droit interne et international qui permettent de réguler la coopération transfrontière.

It is an article of faith in America that scientific advances will lead to wondrous progress in our daily lives. Americans proudly support scientific research that yields stunning breakthroughs and Nobel prizes. We relish the ensuing debate about the implications—moral, ethical, practical—of these advances. Will genetic engineering change our basic nature? Will artificial intelligence challenge our sense of human uniqueness? And yet the actual implementation of these technologies is often sluggish and much-delayed. From Star Trek to Jurassic Park, the American imagination has always been fascinated by the power of scientific technology. But what does the reality of scientific progress mean for our society? In this controversial book, Steven Goldberg provides a compelling look at the intersection of two of America's most powerful communities—law and science—to explain this apparent contradiction. Rarely considered in tandem, law and science highlight a fundamental paradox in the American character, the struggle between progress and process. Science, with its ethic of endless progress, has long fit beautifully with America's self image. Law, in accordance with the American ideal of giving everyone a fair say, stresses process above all else, seeking an acceptable, rather than a scientifically correct, result. This characteristic has been especially influential in light of the explosive growth of the legal community in recent years. Exposing how the legal system both supports and restricts American science and technology, Goldberg considers the role and future of three projects—artificial intelligence, nuclear fusion, and the human genome initiative—to argue for a scientific vision that infuses research with social goals beyond the pure search for truth. Certain to provoke debate within a wide range of academic and professional communities, Culture Clash reveals one of the most important and defining conflicts in contemporary American life.

Young interprets codification as part of a larger process that included the collapse of the Lower Canadian rebellions, the decline of seigneurialism, expansion of bourgeois democracy in central Canada, professionalization of the bar, and formation of the institutional state. Central to codification was a profound ideological shift in Lower Canadian society that gave priority to exchange and individual property rights. Young examines the evolution of codification from its nationalist origins in the 1820s and 1830s into a Civil Code that was integral to Confederation and became a flagship of bilingualism in Quebec. The formation of the commission, the work of the codifiers, and the reaction of the anglophone minority and the Roman Catholic hierarchy are considered, as is the Code's meticulous blending of a conservative social vision with the principles of freedom of property. The Politics of Codification will be of great interest to students of law, members of the legal professions, and Canadian social and legal historians.
