Huang D: The Spirit of Democracy

The Spirit of Democracy

A Speech at Department of Politics, National Taiwan University

Economist Ramaa Vasudevan lays bare the political-economic alchemy—the enchanter’s wand—that transmutes public debt into private wealth. She shows how US-led finance commandeers public powers in its pursuit of returns and how debt usurps authority from peripheral states. Warning that a malignant mutation is underway with the rise of cryptofinance and the tighter embrace of Big-Tech and Big Finance, she points to the possibilities and pitfalls of the Chinese model of partnership, where the state maintains a tight leash on finance. The path forward, she argues, lies in reclaiming public debt as the common property of all and establishing the democratic claims of working people over those of global finance.

The Volatile Partnership at the Heart of Global Finance

The Enchanter's Wand

Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? II offers readers forty-four new accessible essays on the nature of constitutional democracy and constitutional crises, how the democratic recission is being experienced throughout the world, the factors that are providing challenges for constitutional democracy, and the tools being fashioned to maintain constitutional democracy, including the possibility of more global governance. This volume informs readers of the present state of constitutional democracy throughout the world and provides them with a framework for maintaining and improving constitutional governance.

The health of constitutional democracy has not improved substantially since the publication of Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? I. Widespread concern exists about the decline of constitutional democracy around the world, a phenomenon often referred to as 'democratic recession', 'democratic failure' or 'democratic backsliding.' The United States is hurtling toward competitive authoritarianism if not at that destination. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy confront powerful authoritarian movements. Eastern European countries struggle to maintain fragile democracies, while democratic efforts in the Global South confront the legacy of colonialism. Several "feel-good" cases remain: New Zealand and Australia continue as robust constitutional democracies; Poland and possibly Hungary are undergoing democratic "U-turns" after an authoritarian turn; constitutional reform failures have not dampened democratic momentum in Chile; and Brazil's strong democratic culture enabled resistance to and ultimately the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro.

Struggles to establish, sustain, and restore constitutional democracy have not only persisted but accelerated over the past eight years, increasingly blurring the line between "episodic turbulence" and "structural rupture." Global developments now demand not just updated examples, but a re-examination of core assumptions, about what constitutes a constitutional crisis, how rapidly constitutional-democratic systems can be reoriented, which institutions matter most under stress, and what effective repair looks like once democratic injury is normalized. Recent events underscore the need to "pause and reflect on the constitutional project," which appears to be in crisis and perhaps outdated, "incapable of leading us effectively into the planetary epoch."

Constitutional Democracy in Crisis? II

Dieses Buch bietet eine interdisziplinäre und praxisnahe Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema KI-Kompetenz im österreichischen Kontext. Die Autorinnen des Bandes untersuchen, welche individuellen, organisationalen, rechtlichen und gesellschaftlichen Kompetenzen und Rahmenbedingungen erforderlich sind, um den Umgang mit Künstlicher Intelligenz verantwortungsvoll zu gestalten. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie KI-Kompetenz über Bildung, Governance und institutionelle Strukturen hinweg gefördert, vermittelt und nachhaltig verankert werden kann.
Das Herausgeberwerk spannt den Bogen von der nationalen KI-Strategie und dem europäischen Rechtsrahmen (EU AI Act) über Kompetenzmodelle und AI-Literacy-Ansätze bis hin zur Umsetzung in Unternehmen, der öffentlichen Verwaltung, Hochschulen und weiteren gesellschaftlichen Handlungsfeldern. Die Beiträge verbinden wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse mit Praxisperspektiven und beleuchten Fragen der Governance, Qualifizierung, organisationalen Transformation und gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe. Zugleich rückt das Buch die demokratischen, ethischen und gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen von KI-Kompetenz in den Fokus. Medien- und Demokratiekompetenz, Civic AI Literacy sowie Gender- und Diversitätsperspektiven werden dabei als zentrale Dimensionen einer verantwortungsvollen KI-Kompetenz verstanden.
Das Buch richtet sich an Entscheidungsträger:innen in Politik, Verwaltung und Organisationen, an Fachleute aus Bildung, Forschung und Personalentwicklung sowie an zivilgesellschaftliche Akteure. Es bietet theoretische Orientierung, empirische Einblicke und konkrete Gestaltungsperspektiven für alle, die den verantwortungsvollen Einsatz von KI in Österreich aktiv mitgestalten möchten.

Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf Bildung, Organisationen und Gesellschaft

KI-Kompetenz in Österreich

From a renowned legal scholar, a new vision of how the judiciary has reconfigured rights and power. Ambitious and erudite, The Power Revolution is a new challenge to conventional wisdom from one of our most prominent constitutional scholars. Philip Hamburger's prior scholarship initiated the current judicial reconsideration of the administrative state. Here, he makes the broader point that the acclaimed rights revolution has been accompanied by a much more substantial power revolution-a vast judicial expansion of government power and a corresponding judicial erosion of rights. The slant toward power goes much further than has been understood, and because it cuts across much of the Constitution, its effects are sobering. It threatens both our freedom and our government. It even undermines the nation's stability. It's therefore important to understand the contemporary realities of unconstitutional power, not just our old constitutional ideals. In observing the judiciary's responsibility for how we are governed now, The Power Revolution calls upon Americans to push back against unconstitutional power and urges the judges to reconsider what they have done. After so much damage to the Constitution, it is time for repair.

Legal Mobilisation for Equality

This book contains the contributions to the World Law Congress 2025 in Santo Domingo that brings together the legal world to discuss current issues on the Rule of Law. We are living in times of change, in many regards: technologically, ecologically, geo-politically, etc. Established principles of the Rule of Law are under threat. The contributions to this book want to highlight and denominate these risks and challenges and want to offer solutions. The articles are contributed by Presidents of Constitutional and Supreme Courts, renowned scholars, and prominent figures of the (legal) society.

Rule of Law in Times of Change

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

Landmark Cases

From Van Gend en Loos and Costa v ENEL to Cassis de Dijon and Consten and Grundig, Landmark Cases in EU Law explores the most important and well-known EU law cases in two volumes. These volumes show how the European Court of Justice has played a fundamental role in the construction of the European Union in the past 70 years. Many EU 'landmark' cases have been controversial, yet no-one can deny that they have been essential in defining the Union legal order as we find it today. Volume 2 explores the 'substantive' cases that have shaped the Union's internal market, its competition law as well as its internal and external policies. Each of the twenty cases within this volume is placed in its historical and doctrinal context, and each chapter also presents the history of its reception by the Court and academia.

Hart Studies in Constitutional Theory

This book challenges the near-universal acceptance of a US-style, Western constitutional paradigm as the best basis for comparative constitutional studies. It does so on three main grounds: anachronism, 'othering' and cultural specificity. Main pillars of 'convergent constitutional theory' are rooted in the revolutionary, late-eighteenth century - a lost world; constitutional arrangements that deviate from the paradigm are often branded as 'outliers' or even as not constitutional at all; and the foundations of the paradigm in liberal democracy give no space for other forms of constitutionalism. Whatever the attractions of convergent theory as a normative ideal of good government, for the purposes of understanding, analysing and explaining constitutional systems it is far from ideal. This book discusses and questions: convergent theory's weddedness to writing as the technology of constitution-making; its image of a constitution as fundamental law; its idea that a constitution expresses the 'sovereignty of the people'; its use of tripartite separation of powers as the basic principle of institutional design; its relative neglect of administrative law; its association of 'rights' with judicially enforceable bills of rights; and its obsession with a vaguely specified concept of 'democracy'. It makes suggestions for alternative, preferable methods of understanding, analysing and explaining constitutions, and governmental and constitutional systems.

The Distorting Lens of Convergent Constitutional Theory

A significant contribution to discussion of methodology in comparative constitutional law and how to select cases, written by one of the leading scholars of comparative constitutional law of her generation.
