Legal Practice in International Law and European Community Law

This work offers a Spanish perspective on contemporary practice in international law and European Community law by genuine practitioners such as registrars, judges and magistrates serving on national and international courts, as well as advocates practicing in these courts, senior international officials, government advisers and academics. In five parts this book deals with the practice in international courts; practice in international organizations; the European Community practice and; Spanish practice in matters of public and private international law. The last part contains an article on evidence in international practice and a general overview for further research. The book offers a very useful insight in matters otherwise available in Spanish, such as the applications against Spain lodged with the European Court of Human Rights, a comparison between the Spanish Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice of the European Communities, public international law before Spanish domestic courts and the Spanish practice on investment treaties.

'Allyson Posks...makes an excellent addition to a growing body of scholarship on the complex interplay between Church efforts at universal reform in the early modern period and the prerogatives of local communities in defense of their own distinct religious and cultural traditions...Poska's study should be read by all who are interested in the interplay between popular and "official"religious pracitce in early modern Europe.' Jennifer D. Selwyn, Sixteenth Century Journal, 1999. 'This well-researched case study offers interesting material for a comparative study, not only between Galicia and Castile but between peripheral and central regions in the world of early modern Catholicism.' R.Po-Chia Hsia, American Historical Review, 2000.
