Description
For the first time, a legal text has addressed local government constitutional and administrative law as a subject distinct from the law governing the functions of local authorities. Provides a comprehensive account of the legal and administrative framework of local government today. Examines the rules which govern the way local authorities come into existence: by statute; by reference to their relationship with central and regional government; by reference to the general powers which are common to them; by reference to how they are further defined as the wide variety of different functional authorities. Studies the rules that govern the way in which local authorities operate, including domestic and administrative law; European law - EC and human rights; domestic discrimination law; local government audit law; the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman. Looks at local government constitution, principles of local government and administrative law, decisions, members, officers, finance, performance, property and service provision, and liability and accountability in law.

基于可驳斥性逻辑的法律推理研究
By 陈坤著本书在对法律推理的概念、过程与性质进行全面总结的基础上，揭示了经典逻辑在刻画法律推理时面临的困境，评估了两种不同的可驳斥性逻辑（基于扩展的非单调逻辑与基于论证的论辩逻辑）的优势与不足，并结合法律方法论、非形式论证理论等领域的最新研究成果，提出了一个新的法律逻辑系统的构想。它有逻辑层与论辩层，在逻辑层处理法律例外，在论辩层处理规则冲突，从而能够准确地刻画不同类型的法律推理；它是简洁的、清晰的、易接近的，并具有很强的灵活性与可扩展性。

香港基本法澳门基本法论丛（第三辑）
By 饶戈平, 王振民自基本法制定之时至今的数十年中，有关宪法在特别行政区的适用问题是一个历久而弥新的话题，形成了颇为丰富的理论积淀与驳杂的观点争鸣，并牵引着宪法与基本法的双向互动，但这些探讨基本上还停留在理论思辨层面。在基本法制定20余年、实施10余年的今天，关于宪法在特别行政区的适用问题不应再局限于“单一制”或者“联邦制”的国家结构框架内，也不应局限于“大陆法系”与“英美法系”的法系划分理论内，而是应该看到“一国两制”和特别行政区建立本身就是对于传统政体理论和法系渊源的超越——而这种超越是基于宪法授权的，也是始终受到宪法规范和引导的。所以，对宪法在特别行政区的适用问题的研究应该更新理论基础，不囿于传统理论圈定的框架范围，而是依据实践发展对理论进行完善。同时，应该将视野拓展至世界相似国家和地区的宪法实践上，比如加拿大宪法在魁北克的适用。在此基础上，提出中国宪法适用于特别行政区的一般理论框架、制度改进、技术和方式，展示未来应该如何具体处理宪法在特别行政区的适用问题，利用宪法处理香港日益激烈的分离主义情绪和“港独”言论，形成良性的中央与特区政制关系，以及在“双普选”过程中如何利用宪法实现有序的民主化安排。
