The law governing unilateral declarations of intention by states is far from clear. This monograph fills a gap in international legal scholarship by raising and answering the question of the precise legal value of such pledges in the realm of public international law.

Introduction -- Delimiting the subject : promise as a unilateral act -- A history of promises -- The law on promises -- Looking ahead : a 'promising' future?

Those of us who work on the Indian princely states sometimes seem to share a certain marginalization, a certain
distance from the debates shaping the writing of South Asian history today. We also share, more positively, views
of that history that do not focus on British colonial rule and are not based on colonial sources, views that arguably
offer more continuity with pre-British history and alternative visions of the South Asian past, present, and future.

The power of the government rather than limiting it), human rights and democracy. Therefore, this paper will explore the following research questions: 1. Is the current macro legal framework in Peru and Ecuador consistent with what is generally defined as Rule of Law or is it more related to what is known as Soft Rule of Law? 2. To what extend does a theoretical analysis support the prevailing of a Soft Rule of Law in Ecuador and Peru? This paper has been divided into seven sections. Section one refers to a theoretical revision of the term Rule of Law, section two presents on the concept of soft rule of law, section three focuses on human rights as an essential element of the Rule of Law, section four explores the interaction between democracy and the Rule of Law, section five refers to the challenges faced by the Rule of Law in a consolidated democracy, section six presents, as an example, a brief reflection on the current problems of Peru and Ecuador and finally the paper's conclusions are submitted. ; Campus Lima Centro

This book addresses the current crisis that threatens the rule of law and has led to the need for its adjustment as normative concept, legal principle and pragmatic guideline for the behaviour of political players. Rule of law is a pillar of the constitutional orders and a key principle of national, international and EU law. Yet, rule of law is subject to pressure for change in the face of emergency, crisis and transition. This book explores how constitutional crisis, emergency constitutionalism and constitutional polycrisis assert pressures for the transformation of rule of law and thus produce a state of flux. It examines the rule of law from the viewpoint of constitutional imaginaries, memory politics and identity politics. It critically assesses the responses given by the EU and its member states to the current crisis. The work also provides an analysis of the most important challenges to rule of law stemming from the performance of constitutional courts, including the risks of judicial activism, politicization of the courts and judicialization of politics. The book will be an invaluable resource for researchers, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of Constitutional Law and Political Science.
