Therefore, it was decided to create a dedicated collection, the Léon Duguit Library, which will strive to reprint the author's most important texts, whether complete works or collections of articles and lectures. \"The principle of the entire modern system of public law is summarized in the following proposition: those who actually hold power do not possess a subjective right to public authority; rather, they have a duty to use their power to organize public services, to ensure and oversee their operation. Their actions are binding and have legal force only if they are directed toward this goal.\" Public law is no longer a set of rules applying to legal subjects of different orders, one superior, the others subordinate, one having the right to command, the others the duty to obey. All wills are individual wills; all are equal; there is no hierarchy of wills. All wills are equal if one considers only the subject. Their value can only be determined by the goal they pursue. The will of the ruler has no force as such; it only has value and force insofar as it pursues the organization and operation of a public service. Thus, the notion of public service replaces that of sovereignty. The State is no longer a sovereign power that commands; it is a group of individuals possessing a force that they must use to create and manage public services. The notion of public service becomes the fundamental notion of modern public law. The facts will demonstrate this.

Yet this is precisely what this book offers, presenting lectures delivered by Léon Duguit at Spanish and Portuguese universities. While these lectures were transcribed into Spanish at the time, their texts were largely never published in French. These lectures are not only unpublished, but they are also essential to Duguit's oeuvre. Indeed, they represent the only text by the Bordeaux dean analyzing the legal pragmatism that was then spreading from English and American universities to those of continental Europe, and also the only text in which he confronts his doctrine with this new current of thought. These texts are characteristic of the later Duguit, often uncompromising and not hesitating to repeatedly present similar ideas in order to ensure clarity. But, at a time when American pragmatism is regaining strength through the lens of \"law and economics,\" this radical and salutary critique by an old master must finally be made available to the public. Simon Gilbert, who translated and presented these lectures, is a Senior Lecturer in Public Law at the University of Paris-Est and a member of the research team in public procurement and contract law at that university.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963179172187,"sku":"3122","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/3122-1.jpg?v=1766930482"},{"product_id":"3168-les-nouvelles-transformations-du","title":"NEW TRANSFORMATIONS IN PUBLIC LAW Edited by Matthieu CONAN and Béatrice THOMAS-TUAL Proceedings of the study day organized on June 20, 2008 in Brest Centre for Administrative Research EA 3150 of the University of Western Brittany","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e, Paris, 2010, 12 X 19 cm., paperback, 304 p.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “Transformations of Public Law,” the same title a century apart, designates two profoundly different states. Where Léon Duguit heralded the construction of a new law founded on emerging principles and a new dogmatic framework, the authors of the symposium held in Brest in 2008 examine the deconstructions of public law, its trivialization, and its reconfigurations. The focus is no longer on the search for a new system, but rather on complexity, new territories, reclaimed spaces, and the weaving together of heterogeneous legal regimes. If Duguit’s work was inspiring, the work of the authors of this symposium is captivating, for it constitutes one of the richest points of entry toward this new public law, once again in transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963205124443,"sku":"3168","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/3168-1_82d75fc3-f090-47d0-abc2-4f5d99654b89.jpg?v=1766931268"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/collections\/edition-bibliotheque-leon-duguit.oembed","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
