development of the political economy of domestic nonunitary
market jurisdictions and vice versa. Its objectives
are twofold: one, to study the difference between
unitary market jurisdictions and non-unitary market
jurisdictions and the constitutional significance of that
difference; two, to study the constitutionalisation of
the principle of free trade by constitutional courts. The
paper argues for a reconceptualization of preferential
trade agreements and economic integration agreements
as economic constitutions.
Fulvio Costantino: Simplification without borders:
World Bank and national reforms
World Bank publishes annualy a report, Doing Business,
to identify the difficulties in starting an economic
activity around the world. The research compares parameters
such as regulations, length of the proceedings,
costs involved, it also provides guidelines, as well
as gives advice and examines best practices. Economic
operators look at these rankings to decide in
which country is better to start their business, and bad
ratings may result in a shifting of capital from a country
to another, so that national leaders are interested in
revising regulation according to the findings of the
research. The paper examines what Doing Business is
and its impact on national politics, and tries to predict
future developments of simplification.

Ali Aghahosseini Dehaghani: Beyond Juridical
Approaches: The Role of Sociological Approach
in Promoting Human Rights of Migrants
Many questions from a human rights point of view
have been raised about how the phenomenon of migrants
should be managed in the host countries. Given
the multiplicity of factors that affect the application of
these rights what is needed is an interdisciplinary approach
which combines both juridical approaches and
perspective from other disciplines, such as sociology.
This paper is an attempt to show how sociology can
promote human rights of migrants. To this end the article
first explores the usefulness of an interdisciplinary
approach to realize how and to what extent sociology
may promote the human rights of migrants in the destination
country. It then examines mechanisms which
help to reach to a systematic integration of law and
sociological discipline to advance migrants’ rights as
well as to encourage legal scholars to consider societal
structures in their works.

Aleksandra Chiniaeva: International Parliamentary
Assemblies as Guardians of Human Rights
During the Migrant Crisis
The proposed paper includes the comparative
analysis of two international parliamentary assemblies
of the European region: the Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe (PACE) and the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation
in Europe (OSCE PA). The paper describes the
structure and activity of the PACE and the OSCE PA. In
addition the comparative analysis of these international
parliamentary assemblies demonstrates the response
of the parliamentarians from different countries to the
current migrant crisis readiness to cooperation and
their attempts to find solutions not only at national but
also at international level.
Shun Kaku: Constitutional Democratic Obligation
to Outsiders
This paper will argue that the political ideal of constitutional
democracy (PICD) imposes external as well
as internal constraints on states. More precisely, the
commitment for the PICD requires us to respect collective
self-determination and human rights of all people.
