East West Review of Labor Law & Social Policy

Labor Law & Social Policy: never a dull moment. This has become more true now that many countries whose economies have been communist or in a very low stage of development, are in a rapid process towards becoming a market economy. But also Western welfare states are in a stage of transition at this time. In these states there are claims that the social legislation is too expensive, that it is contrary to a competitive approach and that social legislation makes people too passive, which in turn causes people to no longer actively seek work. The common interest in the developments in Social Policy in the different regions of the world calls for a new forum to exchange information, experience and practice. Under the guidance of Professor Andrzej Swiatkowski, the East-West Review of Labor Law & Social Policy has established a forum for contributions on Labor Law, Social Security Law and general Social Policy issues.

International Review of Constitutionalism

Constitutionalism is usually regarded as the limitation of government power by a "fundamental" law, or set of laws, beyond the reach of individual governments to amend. Any thorough investigation of the concept, however, quickly shows how the constitutional law, to be operative, must be rooted in a political culture in which the abuse of power will not be tolerated. The concept is as much political and cultural as it is legal. The modern term derives from the imperial Latin constitutio, meaning "establishment," or ordinance, of the emperor. Its first characteristic is the establishment of law and order, and then the control of government power within that order. The exercise of power is as much a guarantee of freedom as is its control. Comprehensive treatments of constitutionalism as a central component of western political culture have been few in recent years. There are many recent discussions of the constitutional traditions of particular countries, as well as monographs and articles on specific aspects of constitutional theory.
