EU and Third Countries: Legal Approximation Methodology
|
|
|
|
|
This article covers the topic which is relevant nowadays as a number of third countries for a range of reasons make efforts to approximate their national legislation to that of the European Union (EU). Even though there is a huge practical experience in the approximation issues stemming from the last accessions to the EU, at the same time there is a visible scarcity of theoretic insights into the problem of universal methodology of legal approximation. In most of the cases the elaboration of methodology is left for experts that work with concrete states and the methodology is therefore adapted for each specific case and according to specific needs. In my view this makes the knowledge in the issue quite fragmented. It seems that there is a number of common elements which could be generally derived to form a universal methodology which could be then adapted and applied by all countries wishing to embark upon the legal approximation process. Therefore the current absence of universal methodology of legal approximation process appears to be a shortcoming in this evolving field of law. To the extent possible this article tries at least partially to ill up this gap.

Alien’s Position in the Administrative Proceedings Permitting Working in the Czech Republic
|
|
|
|
|
While working abroad may be attractive, it is obvious that not everybody can manage it. Labour pool is generally limited and immigration is subject to state’s impacts, executed in the frame of employment policy, which aims primarily at avoiding competition with the domestic labour force. Most widely used tools thereby are administrative barriers in the form of permission. Access to the Czech labour market is complicated by three barriers which employers and foreign employees have to overcome before an alien may start to work.

Manifesto of the Belarusian Journal of Law and Political Science "PRAŬNIK" |
|
|
|
|
Belarusian legal journal "Praŭnik" is an initiative of Belarusian law students and young lawyers launched in November, 2004. The main rationale to start the project is an attempt to overcome colonial thinking of a great portion of elder generation of Belarusian lawyers. The new generation of lawyers, who contributes to this journal, tries to build their legal outlook on the "Belarusian-European" legal paradigm rather then on "Russian-Soviet" one.
Belarusians have deep and rich legal tradition which stems from the Statutes of Grand Duchy of Litva (1522, 1569, 1588), written in the old Belarusian language, which were the most progressive examples of medieval codification of law in those time Europe. It is interesting to note that the modern identity of Belarusians as a nation has been formulated to a large extent by professional lawyers: from Kastus Kalinouski and Francisak Bahusevic to Ivan Luckievic, Raman Skirmunt and others.
