Legal processes have often been at the core of the public debates. In the West, keeping in mind the political and social chaos between the 18th century and the contemporary world, it is possible to see how circles of opinion often were pervaded and tangled by tales carried out in the courtrooms. The reconstruction of the events as well as of the dynamics that, through these paths, entered into the costume and the society of the time requires the historian to a close analysis of sources as well as of procedures connected to the judicial activity. The essays published in this book aim at providing some elements of reflection about the judicial truth, considering it as a sort of “building” with its epistemological knots and different interpretations, crossing experiences deriving from sociological, historical-juridical, historical-political and politico-logical analysis.

Dans l'avant-propos du Guide des sources de l'histoire du Brésil aux archives du ministère français des Affaires étrangères, publié dans cette même collection en 1987, André Lewin, alors commissaire général du projet France-Brésil, soulignait la place de l'entreprise archivistique, comme témoignage de l'ancienneté des relations entre les deux Etats. L'analyse des dépêches des consuls de France à Bahia, capitale historique du Brésil, contribuera également, au-delà de la sécheresse des analyse...

Rares sont les savants qui, au cours de leur carrière, réussissent à embrasser l'ensemble de leur discipline. Michel Virally fut au nombre de ceux-ci : à sa disparition, à l'âge de 67 ans, il avait élaboré une synthèse du droit international. Dans ce recueil, divisé en cinq parties, sont réunis des écrits épars mais essentiels du professeur Virally. Le parcours intellectuel auquel il nous convie englobe des articles et études sur la Théorie générale du droit qui témoignent du goût de l'auteur...

Central issues in global energy are discussed through interdisciplinary dialogue between experts from both North America and Europe with overview from historical, political, and socio-cultural perspectives, outlining the technology and policy issues facing the development of major conventional and renewable energy sources. We are facing a global energy crisis caused by world population growth, an escalating increase in demand, and continued dependence on fossil-based fuels for generation. It is widely accepted that increases in greenhouse gas concentration levels, if not reversed, will result in major changes to world climate with consequential effects on our society and economy. This is just the kind of intractable problem that Purdue University’s Global Policy Research Institute seeks to address in the Purdue Studies in Public Policy series by promoting the engagement between policy makers and experts in fields such as engineering and technology.
 
Major steps forward in the development and use of technology are required. In order to achieve solutions of the required scale and magnitude within a limited timeline, it is essential that engineers be not only technologically-adept but also aware of the wider social and political issues that policy-makers face. Likewise, it is also imperative that policy makers liaise closely with the academic community in order to realize advances. This book is designed to bridge the gap between these two groups, with a particular emphasis on educating the socially-conscious engineers and technologists of the future.
 
In this accessibly-written volume, central issues in global energy are discussed through interdisciplinary dialogue between experts from both North America and Europe. The first section provides an overview of the nature of the global energy crisis approached from historical, political, and sociocultural perspectives. In the second section, expert contributors outline the technology and policy issues facing the development of major conventional and renewable energy sources. The third and final section explores policy and technology challenges and opportunities in the distribution and consumption of energy, in sectors such as transportation and the built environment. The book’s epilogue suggests some future scenarios in energy distribution and use.
