It is then only natural that a periodical based at the University of Bordeaux, aiming to communicate with the English-speaking world and prepared to uphold the fundamental values of democracy and the rule of law, would use the name of the Baron de la Brède et de Montesquieu, who was and remains one of the most remarkable figures in Bordeaux’s history. Now, what is the purpose of this “Montesquieu Law Review”, of which you are discovering the first issue? The answer is quite simple: it is to give English-speaking lawyers curious to be regularly informed about the main events occurring in French Law – whether in written law, case law or doctrine - direct access, in the language of Shakespeare. The promoters of this review, most of them involved in comparative work, are conscious that while French Law continues to attract the attention of some international audience because of its specific past and current features, the number of foreign lawyers who are able to work in the language of Molière is in steady decline. This, they believe, has to be taken into consideration in legal literature by spreading information about major developments in French law, on the internet and in English. Of course, among the scientific benefits they expect from the enterprise, there is not only the creation of flows of information from French legal sources to English-speaking readers, but also an encouragement to intellectual dialogue between the French legal tradition –which is part of the continental one, but possesses its own peculiarities - and other, more or less different, legal traditions. Most contemporary lawyers and analysts of legal globalization are driven to observe a lot of amazing convergences caused by various harmonization phenomena, ranging from formal international legislation or jurisprudence to a more inconspicuous cross-fertilization or spillover effects. These convergences certainly have their limits, and national legal idiosyncrasies still have a strong say, but they are an important characteristic of this period, and a fundamental contextual change for all comparative work. Moreover, what the observation of legal globalization shows is that the differences between the common law world and the civil law one are not, or perhaps are no longer, this enormous gap that they were traditionally supposed to be. In fact, some forerunners have already, some time ago, discerned that legal distances created by the Channel then by the Atlantic Ocean had, to some extent, been exaggerated. Let us just quote here F.H. Lawson, who wrote in “A Common Lawyer looks at the Civil Law” (1953): “The more one 4 studies French law, the more ones realizes that in many ways it resembles the Common Law”. All lawyers belonging to democratic systems, whether they come from the Anglo-Saxon tradition or from the continental one, share at least some basic values in the core of which one finds the separation of powers and the rule of law, of which Montesquieu was one of the main advocates in history. It is in the chapter of The Spirit of Laws dedicated to the British Constitution that he wrote: “When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty; because apprehensions may arise lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner. Again, there is no liberty if the judiciary power be not separated from the legislative and the executive. Were it joined with the legislative power, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control, for the judge would then the legislator. Were it joined to the executive power, the judge might behave with violence and oppression". Here are some of the principles on which our readers will certainly converge. Let us be clear: we do not mean to say that the review will intend to concentrate on constitutional issues: on the contrary, it will try and inform in all sectors of French law. But these fundamental principles are certainly their cup of tea, be they public lawyers or private lawyers. To all of them, present and future, we bid a warm welcome. To those who will join us now, we add our wishes for a happy 2015. 5 MONTESQUIEU LAW REVIEW Issue No.1 January 2015 Editorials Professor Olivier Dubos A review is a collective adventure. This first issue is obviously not the beginning of that adventure, but it is its first expression. It was in the course of a conversation on the future of French law faculties that Marie-Claire Ponthoreau floated this idea, which I hastened to seize upon. It quickly emerged that, for the Montesquieu Law Review to be a publication in the spirit of Bordeaux – i.e. cosmopolitan – it could not be produced exclusively by the city’s legal academics. Professors Jean- Bernard Auby and Mireille Delmas-Marty, both of whom have worked so tirelessly in promoting French legal culture, graciously agreed straightaway to chair the Scientific Board. But a review, like a child, does not just need parents; it must also have godparents. Leading personalities in France and overseas, known throughout the legal world, have agreed to stand as the review’s “godparents”. Yet more will join their ranks over time. The review will therefore have to take up the challenge that such a gift represents. In order to guarantee its quality, the MLR had to have a Scientific Board composed of both French and foreign colleagues, all acknowledged specialists in their chosen fields, tasked with ensuring the accuracy and relevance of the information and discussions contained in the articles; those asked were generous enough to answer the call. A review also consists of a group of authors. My colleagues at the University of Bordeaux’s Faculty of Law and Political Science have shown the greatest enthusiasm for this inaugural issue: some have contributed articles themselves, while others approached colleagues for papers. In order for the MLR to publish two general issues and two special issues every year, this momentum must be maintained, and it is our hope that many French and foreign authors will contribute to subsequent editions. The review would not have seen the light of day without a project manager, Rachael Singh, whose linguistic and legal skills serve in the translating and editing of articles submitted by authors. I offer my wholehearted and sincere thanks to all those who have agreed to embark on this adventure, which is also very efficiently supported by IdEx Bordeaux.

  • Socio-Legal Studies in France
    Socio-legal studies in France: beyond the Law Faculty Introduction Setting out to explain the presence - or in this case the relative absence – of the ‘socio-legal’ in a particular jurisdiction requires some attempt to set out an understanding of what remains a notoriously malleable concept. This is all the more important given that one striking difference between France and the United Kingdom is the very absence of a body of knowledge explicitly conceptualized and characterised in terms of the label ‘socio-legal.’ Furthermore, in Anglo-American scholarship, there are not only diverse ways of characterising the ‘socio-legal’ but there are tensions and even contradictions at the heart of the concept which flow in part from different ways of viewing its relationship to more traditional forms of legal scholarship. 1 The ‘socio-legal’ can be seen as a supplement or even complement to the doctrinal analysis of primary legal sources that is made desirable - or indeed even necessary - by the need to maintain law as a functioning social institution (law in action) as opposed to pure text (law in books). Effective decisions about legal reform may be seen to require some analysis of the practical effects of law on society or parts of society and some analysis of the social interests and claims in play. This is the kind of socio-legal work sometimes associated with the term ‘law in context’ and with the kind of policy-oriented research based on empirical social science that is often fostered and financed by Governments. But the rise of the ‘socio-legal’ since the 1960s has also been associated with various explicit and radical challenges to law as a social institution in general and doctrinal analysis as a disciplinary practice in particular.

  • The Decline of Civil Nuclear Power Programs
    The decline of civil nuclear power programs: Why state-owned enterprises hold the key to success in the Post-Fukushima Era. John Lambert A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies University of Washington 2021 Committee: Christopher Jones Halvor Undem 2021 Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies ©Copyright 2021 John Lambert ii | Page University of Washington Abstract The decline of civil nuclear power programs: Why state-owned enterprises hold the key to success in Post-Fukushima Era. John Lambert Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Christopher Jones Department of International Studies Civil nuclear power is declining in Canada, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and rapidly expanding in China, France, India, Russia, and South Korea. The disaster at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant changed the future of nuclear power. For some states that means drastic shifts away from nuclear, and for others it means that the future of nuclear just became more difficult and expensive. This paper seeks to examine the role that state-owned enterprises play in advancing nuclear programs, and the difficulties that states without state-owned enterprises will face in this new future. A state-owned enterprise is a corporation that conducts the business of the state, and is either wholly owned by the government, or controlled by a government ownership of majority shares in a private corporation. (e.g., Amtrak, Freddie Mac, etc.) I posit that the presence of state-owned enterprises, or a government’s controlling interest in a private nuclear energy corporation, enables governments to advance their state’s civil nuclear power programs.

  • Alstom: Et Soudain Siemens Vint / 27 Avril 2014 | Par Martine Orange À La
    Alstom: et soudain Siemens vint / 27 avril 2014 | Par martine orange À la dernière minute, l’allemand Siemens a fait une proposition pour contrer l’offre de l'américain General Electric sur Alstom. C'est un vrai soulagement pour le gouvernement français, tétanisé par la succession de faillites industrielles. Déjà, on parle d’un Airbus de l’énergie et d’un Airbus des transports. Cette perspective de sortie honorable ne peut masquer des faiblesses réelles. Retour sur vingt ans de liquidation industrielle. C’est le plan B sur lequel ne comptait plus le gouvernement. À quelques heures d’un conseil d’administration qui devait entériner la cession de la branche énergie d’Alstom à son concurrent américain, General Electric (GE), pour quelque 12,7 milliards de dollars (autour de 10 milliards d’euros), le concurrent allemand Siemens a fait une contre-proposition. Selon Le Figaro – informations qui nous ont été confirmées –, le groupe allemand a proposé d'ouvrir des négociations en vue de procéder à des échanges d'actifs entre les deux groupes. Il reprendrait les activités d’énergie d’Alstom : turbines, centrales à charbon et au gaz, hydro-électricité, énergies renouvelables, réseaux. La branche représente environ 70 % du groupe et est convoitée aussi par GE. En contrepartie, Siemens apporterait à Alstom une partie de son activité ferroviaire, afin de conforter le dernier métier du groupe (TGV, trains, tramways, métro). Une soulte devrait être aussi versée à Alstom afin de compenser le déséquilibre dans les échanges d’actifs. La réaction rapide de Siemens face à la proposition de GE en dit long sur les enjeux qui entourent Alstom.

The country won its independence from the UK in 1910. It has three capital cities: Pretoria is the administrative capital, Cape Town the legislative capital and Bloemfontein the judicial capital. South Africa accounts 4% of Africa’s surface area, 5.5% of its population and 25% of its GDP. Since its first free and multi-racial elections in 1994 South Africa has been a parliamentary democracy and the stability of its democratic bodies – as witnessed at each election - is solid proof of the peaceful political and social climate. Nelson Mandela saw through the transition from the apartheid regime. His successor, Thabo Mbeki, promised to continue in the same vein for political and economic affairs, while accelerating social reforms. The African National Congress (ANC) widely dominates the political scene.
