Professor Olivares (Postdoktorand an der Universität Girona; Spanien) hält einen englischsprachigen talk (SKYPE!):

 

In this talk we will focus on analyzing a complex and relevant politica institution: constitutional control. In general terms, we will evaluate its democratic legitimacy from a normative philosophical perspective. In particular terms, we will

analyze this review mechanism from a contemporary republican approach. More precisely, we will comparatively analyze the representative republican proposals made by Richard Bellamy and Tom Hickey. In summary, we will provide arguments in

defense of a third possible approach of the foundations and institutional designs of constitutional control which commits us to a reflexive republican conception.
