El objetivo de la incorporación de los derechos de participación en la Constitución ecuatoriana del 2008 era la necesidad de establecer una mayor relación entre Estado y sociedad, es decir que el ciudadano sea parte en la toma de decisiones sobre los asuntos de interés público. Específicamente en ese sentido Boaventura de Sousa, plantea que la democracia participativa viene a ser complementaria de la representativa (Santos, 2004). Esto con la finalidad de intentar superar la crisis que sufría el modelo representativo liberal (Santos, 2004). Así, el constituyente ecuatoriano instituyo nuevos derechos, garantías e instituciones con ese propósito. No obstante, a nueve años de esa promesa constituyente, existen muchas críticas, y detractores de esta. En este trabajo, me propongo revisar algunas de estas objeciones, desde una perspectiva analítica y critica.

"Friedensmediation findet nicht im rechtsfreien Raum statt, aber vielfach in einem normkritischen oder sogar normaversen Praxisumfeld. Dem wird in diesem Werk gegenübergestellt, dass Rechtskonformität einen Beitrag zu erfolgreicher und legitimer Mediation leistet und dass die Mediation dieser Legitimität auch bedarf, weil sie selbst nachhaltigen Einfluss ausübt. Diesem Legitimationsbedarf kann jedoch ohne die Berücksichtigung rechtlicher Normen nicht Genüge getan werden. Dieser Umstand wird ebenso dargelegt wie die Legitimationsfragen, denen sich rechtliche Normen selbst ausgesetzt sehen und die somit das legitimatorische Potential für die Friedensmediation begrenzen."--Verl.

"Antiquity is often utilized as a reference to provide a historical dimension for contemporary phenomena. This also holds true for the prevailing scientific discourse on alternative or adequate remedies of dispute resolution. In this context, historical perspectives seem to be in vogue as narratives to legitimize one or another role model, whereas studies on practical examples from ancient legal orders tend not to be given serious consideration in the current debate.Just as in the case of contemporary legal research, ancient legal history also distinguishes litigation at court from other mechanisms of conflict resolution. Nevertheless, where do the boundaries of judicial and extra-judicial mechanisms of dispute resolution lie within the framework of ancient societies? Are they alternatives in a narrower sense? Is there evidence for concerning the reason there was no (or at least no exclusive) judicial decision? This volume offers a selection of studies of pertinent illustrative material pertaining to these questions. While the relevant sources stemming from the prehistorical period, the Ancient Near East, Hellenistic Egypt and Classical Roman law may vary greatly, this just serves to widen our perspective on ancient times.Heidi Peter-Röcher focuses on strategies of conflict resolution in prehistoric times corresponding to different forms of violence. Hans Neumann, Susanne Paulus, Lena Fijałkowska and Alessandro Hirata delve into case studies situated in the Ancient Near East from Sumerian to Neo-Babylonian times. Three other contributions examine Graeco-Roman Antiquity: Marc Depauw considers non-Greek, i.e., demotic, material from a Hellenistic kingdom, Anna Seelentag embraces the phenomenon of public clamour in the Roman Republic, and Christine Lehne-Gstreinthaler provides a fresh look at the classical arbitration from the perspective of ancient legal history."

Through the emergence of several high-profile investment arbitration cases, the effects of IPRs as investments covered under IIAs have finally come to light. The latest award, the only arbitration case dealing with patents as IPRs – the Eli Lilly v. Canada case – has brought up a number of interesting questions. Two of Eli Lilly's patents have been revoked, whereupon the company tried to redeem them through investment arbitration. One of the claims put forward by Eli Lilly is that his legitimate expectations, a standard of protection found in international investment law, have been frustrated by Canada. By allegedly failing to observe its obligations contained in Chapter 17 of the NAFTA, Canada frustrated the legitimate expectations of Eli Lilly. The thesis tries to analyze how the relationship between international IP treaties and legitimate expectations functions.
