Social Rights and Democracy

Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)

We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.

Wages, labour markets, solidarity in European construction since the end of the 1960s

The financial crises faced by Greece, Italy and Spain since 2010 have caused a vast movement of reforms both at European and national levels. Three aspects are of particular importance : increasing public financial transfers through the institution of intervention funds to support the economies of the States in difficulty ; the reduction of the deficits and debts of Member States ; reforms of labour markets and social protection in the States in difficulty. It is on this last point that this working Group intends to focus in a historical perspective. This working Group will seek to consider how patterns of negotiation among European States have emerged from the late 1960s and early 1970s on this issue.

The Memory of the Great Strike, Winter 1960-1961 in Belgium

De gedachtenis van de grote Winterstaking 1960-1961 in België

En Belgique, cinquante ans après ce que certains ont appelé la « grève du siècle », la mémoire de l’événement laisse lentement mais sûrement la place, du fait de la disparition de la plupart des témoins et acteurs directs, à l’histoire de celui-ci. Le temps de la réflexion scientifique critique sur ce qui constitue incontestablement un moment clé dans l’histoire contemporaine de la Belgique et l’un des plus grands conflits sociaux et politiques du siècle passé peut trouver un nouvel élan en regard des problèmes généraux qu’a connus la Belgique depuis lors.
