Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project tackled the theoretical problems entailed in the concept of the modern state and in its public law systems, by using both analytical and historical methods. The concepts of representation, sovereignty and legal personality were chosen as the specific objects of the analysis, because they were all at the core in the thoughts of Jean Bodin and Thomas Hobbes, each of whom was one of the founding fathers of the modern state notions, and in the development of this notions in later days up until now. The key findings of the research are the two basso continuo, the intuitionism and expressionism, underlying those three concepts, which gave rise to different interpretations miutually exclusive in several public law issues. Through the publications of the analysis of current debates over now and future public law legislation, based on that finding, this research contributed to academic discussions as well as the public law interpretative practices.
