In 1970 Belgium established three Communities: the French, Flemish and German-speaking Communities. It was then in 1980 that three regions were set up: Walloon, Flemish and Brussels. Further amendments to the Constitution were made on 7 and 15 July 1988, as well as a special law of 8 August 1988 amending the original law of 8 August 1980. It is essential to say that most of the changes and principles governing the organisation and functioning of both the three Communities and the three regions date back to 1970 and 1980. The international nature of the Community's role in 1970 is significant. In 1980, an Arbitration Court was provided for by the Constitution and established to settle conflicts between the laws and decrees of the Communities and the Regions. The Federal State is characterised by two features: autonomy and co-operation. In 1988, the Arbitration Court continued the work of constitutional justice and verifies the conformity of laws or decrees with the provisions of international law and in particular European law. ; En 1970 la Belgique a instauré trois Communautés : les Communautés française, flamande et germanophone. Puis c'est en 1980 que se sont mises en place trois Régions : wallonne, flamande et bruxelloise. De nouveaux amendements à la Constitution ont été faits le 7 et le 15 juillet 1988, ainsi qu'une loi spéciale du 8 août 1988 qui est venue modifier la loi originale du 8 août 1980. Il est indispensable de dire que l'essentiel des changements et des principes d'organisation et de fonctionnement des trois Communautés aussi bien que des trois Régions datent de 1970 et de 1980. Le caractère international du rôle que les Communautés ont joué en 1970 est significatif. En 1980, une Cour d'arbitrage a été prévue par la Constitution et créée afin de régler les conflits entre les lois et les décrets des Communautés et des Régions. L'Etat fédéral se caractérise par deux traits : l'autonomie et la co-opération. En 1988 la Cour d'arbitrage poursuit l'oeuvre de justice constitutionnelle et vérifie la ...

The article proposes: to group the approach that is common in the classification of state functions (depending on the sphere of social life into political, economic, etc.) with the social functions of the branch; to group the actual legal functions of the branch to adapt one of the approaches proposed by experts in the theory of state and law to classify the functions of law. An appeal to popular Ukrainian textbooks on the theory of state and law allows to summarize: analyzing the functions of law, scientists distinguish between protective and regulatoryfunctions (including regulatory static and regulatory dynamic). In general, almost none of the specialists -authors of educational and methodical publications in this discipline does not ignore the classification of the functions of the right to regulatory and security. Sometimes the authors detail this classification, sometimes they integrate it into the author's systems of legal functions. But it is unlikely that there is now a publication that covers theoretical issues related to the grouping of legal functions, and does not mention the regulatory and protective functions. Based on this, it is hardly appropriate not to apply this classification when grouping the functions of the field of constitutional law. One of the classifications of legal functions, which should be borrowed to group the functions of the constitutional law of Ukraine, is the classification of legal functions depending on their special legal nature into regulatory and protective. Given that this classification reflects the functions inherent in law in general, it is clear that they are also inherent in the field of constitutional law of Ukraine. Therefore, it is advisable to recommend not just to apply this classification when distinguishing the functions of the branch of constitutional law, but to refer to it as a potential element of a complex classification of functions of the branch of constitutional law of Ukraine. The analyzed classification will indicate the kind of special legal characteristics of a function inherent in the branch of constitutional law. Thus, its classification should be combined with one or more classifications of a less general nature, which will reveal the features inherent in the functions of the branch of constitutional law. ; У статті запропоновано: для угруповання соціальних функцій галузі адаптувати підхід, що є поширеним при класифікації функцій держави (залежно від сфери соціального життя на політичні, економічні тощо); для угрупування власне юридичних функцій галузі адаптувати один із підходів, який пропонується фахівцями з теорії держави і права для класифікації функцій права. Звернення до популярних українських підручників із теорії держави та права дозволяє резюмувати: аналізуючи функції права, вчені виділяють охоронну та регулятивну функції (у т. ч. регулятивну статичну та регулятивну динамічну). Загалом майже жоден із фахівців - авторів навчально-методичних видань із цієї дисципліни не оминає увагу класифікацію функцій права на регулятивну й охоронну. Інколи автори деталізують цю класифікацію, інколи інтегрують її в авторські системи функцій права. Але навряд чи зараз є видання, у якому висвітлюються теоретичні питання, пов'язані з угрупуванням функцій права та не згадувалося б про регулятивну й охоронну функції. Виходячи з цього, навряд чи доцільно не застосовувати цю класифікацію при угрупуванні функцій галузі конституційного права. Одною з класифікацій функцій права, яку доцільно запозичити для угрупування функцій галузі конституційного права України, є класифікація функцій права залежно від їх спеціально-юридичного характеру на регулятивну й охоронну. Враховуючи, що ця класифікація відображає функції, притаманні праву загалом, зрозуміло, що вони притаманні також і галузі конституційного права України. А тому доцільно рекомендувати не просто застосувати цю класифікацію при виокремленні функцій галузі конституційного права, а й звернутися до неї як до потенціального елементу складної класифікації функцій галузі конституційного права України. Аналізована класифікація вказуватиме на різновид спеціально-юридичної характеристики тієї чи іншої функції, притаманної галузі конституційного права. Отже, її класифікацію доцільно поєднати з однією чи кількома класифікаціями менш загального характеру, які будуть розкривати особливості, притаманні функціям саме галузі конституційного права.

The analysis of the relationship between law and policy is based on current legal theories, which build their models on the basis of the interaction of these two phenomena as in the process of state formation, so in the management of the state and the civil society. Legal theories correlate with the constitutional process in Ukraine, which gives reason to speak about the growing of the influence of political mechanisms on national legislation, the state, society and citizens' justice. This raises the question of the relation of the archetypes of legal culture with the direct political and legal experience of the nation-state, which over time is crystallized into theoretical doctrines and the corresponding political and legal practice of their implementation. Legal theories, as well as the positions of national scholars regarding the law and politics, also did not go beyond the definitions of the influence of national factors on the interaction of law and policy. The autonomous model (legal positivism), the insertion model (natural law theory), and the intersection model (American and Scandinavian legal realism) always had a common field from which different (in our case Ukrainian) national systems of law development ware sprouted. In this field law and politics are two (to a greater or lesser extent) different phenomena that interact with one another (with lesser or greater frequency) in the light of national interests and what the social sciences call the «spirit of the nation». In a transitional period, the positioning of the law in Ukraine is too closely linked to the political realities and interests of the political elites, which in most cases are still very far from the generally accepted principles of law. This is also the case today, in particular during the discussion and adoption of the bills on amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine proposed by the President in August 2019. It is clear that the issues of interaction of the law (law) and politics in Ukrainian realities are at the stage of their ...

The present book invites the reader to rethink some questions raised in EU external relations law in the light of recent developments in the case law of the Court of Justice, from the perspective of the constitutional foundations of the Union. The various chapters invite the reader to take a look at the balance between the specific legal regime for EU external action and the constitutional fundamentals of the EU legal order such as: the principles of conferral, loyalty, and institutional balance, as well as the rule of law, democracy, and fundamental rights protection. The accommodation between specificity and fundamental principles is, thus, a transversal constitutional issue.

The present thesis proposes to return to the place of fiction within constitutional law. It will be a question here of considering fiction as a tool used by the constitutional judge in order to respond to the specificities of the supreme norm. Although fiction is never invoked by the judge, it remains present in his reasoning. The research work that has been written attempts to come back to the constituent's relations with regard to fiction, which allows the constitutional text a certain flexibility, necessary to be part of a logic of sustainability. The Constitution occupies a special place within the legal order. It would have such a value that it would become unalterable. Nevertheless, this specificity would have an impact on its practice, in particular when the supreme standard would be confronted with the evolutions of the company. Fiction would offer an alternative to the constitutional judge to apply the values provided for by the standard, while allowing him to free himself from the rigidity imposed by the written word.However, there is no question of proposing a cataloging of different fictions, which would potentially be used. It will be a question here of observing the logics, which can animate, for example, the constitutional judge, when he uses, consciously or not, fiction. The place of fiction within the supreme norm appears to be revealing of the very nature of law. An opposition would thus be created, between the law which is considered as the representation of the real and the fiction, which leads the constitutional judge on more uncertain grounds. Fiction, however, appears to be a necessity since it makes it possible to transcribe and support the logic of the constitutional judge. This thought becomes intelligible in order to allow a better understanding of constitutional law. ; La présente thèse se propose de revenir sur la place de la fiction au sein du droit constitutionnel.

Any branch of law, private or public, has a system of sources of law, which is somewhat standard. This system became "set in stone" for many law systems around the world, starting with Constituion, legal acts of goverment and ending with brief overview of legal traditions in some branches of law. However, this system completely forgets about legal doctrine. But after legislation took over, legal doctrine lost meaning which it had before and was cast aside into shadow of legislation and basic system of sources of law. Furthermore, legal doctrine was an instrument which provided unity for any law system. The idea in its core is simple – greatest and most known legal works of different authors became rulebooks for diffenret branches of law, which were used not only for education, but as a source of law to resolve dispute, when there was missing link in legislation and when judge cannot settle dispute using law of state. This is the case, when doctrine was used as a source of law and a source for regulation. Same can be said about legal doctrine, as core for any law, passed by a parliament. In ideal case, scientists and authors of legal dontrine works should consult lawmakers regarding theoretical and doctrinal basis of any decision or action they are planning to take. So, any legal action will have strong core in it and won't be decided only on experience and opinions of lawmakers, but also with strong theoretical background for such decision. In conclusion, we think that legal doctrine requires further analysis and this topic is very important for legal studies in Ukraine. Core of legal doctrinal works becomes bigger and bigger with increasing number of scholars in this sector of science. From the nature of legal doctrine, it is clear that it can provide better understanding of law and improve connection between scientists and lawmakers. Keywords: source of law, Constitution, natural law, legal system, concept of legal doctrine, system of sources of law.

The issue of empiricism and conceptualism has been studied in administrative law. It refers to the possibility for academics to infer general and abstract categories from case law. Such reasoning by induction aims to facilitate the knowledge of administrative law, which essentially consists of case law. Studying this issue in constitutional law is justified by the changes which have occurred in the discipline since the birth of the Conseil Constitutionnel in 1958. Specifically, the development of constitutional case law has led to the assumption that constitutional law has a more empirical dimension and that new relations are being established between academics and judges. In practice, the alternation between empiricism and conceptualism in constitutional law goes beyond the relation between legal scholars and case law. Thus, this study attempts to capture the systematization of law in all stages of the discipline and whatever the sources. The analysis is not only following the changes in the mode of thinking concerning constitutional law by respecting a chronological sequence, it also aims at identifying periods.The conceptualism of the past, inherited from the first treatises on constitutional law at the end of the nineteenth century, has developed the main principles of French constitutional law. Since then, the evolution of doctrinal methods, throughout the twentieth and the early twenty-first century, in conjunction with the development of law itself, subjects these principles to more empirical approaches, bringing them closer to the reality of constitutional law. More precisely, three empirical periods can be identified. The first period emerged after Word War II and is described as "political empiricism" in this study. The second time appeared in the 1970's and advocates a "legal empiricism". Finally, the development of the jurisprudence of the Conseil constitutionnel opens the way for "case law empiricism", widely discussed in this analysis. ; Connu en droit administratif, le thème de l'empirisme et du ...
