During my lifetime, I have always found the idea of a third party as abhorrent, seeing this as a threat to the two-party system which made the U.S. more functional than the European systems with their frequent change of government.
I was born a Democrat - heck, there was nothing else in Louisiana in the 1930s and 1940s. I became a Republican for Barry Goldwater and am now an Independent. But the present gridlock in our national government, reflecting the almost uncompromising character of the two parties, makes me think it is time to reconsider a third party.

The European Energy Market is currently under construction. In this complex process Member States have traditionally retained the power to secure each State's energy supply as a matter of national security. However, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has recently issued several judgments in which national policies are declared to be in breach of core European Union (EU) principles: free movement of capital and freedom of establishment. The article explores the risks of adopting this approach (negative integration) without a clear European regulatory framework (positive integration). Dismantling national regulatory controls without providing a true European alternative can result in a critical precedence of free market over national administrative law.

Rida accused secularists of immorality and treason;126 al-Qaradawi portrays them as an elite rejected by the people and wonders who is behind them.127 For Rida, Christian Ethiopia's independence proved that the western colonial powers targeted Muslim lands;128 for al-Qaradawi, western support for Ethiopia against Eritrea was one of the examples that proved the fallacy of claims that the west is interest-driven, not anti-Islam.129 Despite his criticisms of Mu'awiya, Rida idealized the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates;130 al-Qaradawi consecrated his book Our Calumniated History to defend them against their detractors.131 Both attributed the end of the caliphate to a Jewish conspiracy,132 and contrasted the tolerance of the Qur'an with the bloodthirstiness of the Torah,133 and so on.

Economies that rank high on the strength of investor protection index have extensive disclosure requirements and give shareholders broad access to information both before and during trials to determine director liability. New Zealand and Singapore, which top the rankings on the index with 29 and 28 of 30 possible points, both require immediate disclosure of a related-party transaction and of the conflict of interest (table 7.1). They require prior approval of the transaction by the other shareholders. They enable the shareholders to hold the directors liable and to have the transaction voided if it damages the company. And in New Zealand shareholders can inspect all internal documents before deciding whether to sue.
Twelve economies strengthened investor protections in 2007/08 (table 7....

This paper reflects on the literature on courts and politics in Europe and the United States. US-American Political Science has dealt for several decades already with the role of courts and judges as political actors, whereas this perspective has only recently emerged in Europe. The debates differ not only with regard to the number of articles, but also with regard to their content. This paper discusses the different research perspectives that are being pursued on both sides of the Atlantic. While a major part of the US-American literature investigates the politics of judicial action and the politicization of the legal system, research on European courts confines itself to analyzing the effects of judicial action, often describing them in terms of juridification. Based on a review of th...
