Las sociedades occidentales cada vez perciben la diversidad o el pluralismo como rasgo característico de su identidad. De ahí que resulte oportuno comparar las respuestas que dan los ordenamientos jurídicos de Canadá y España a las demandas procedentes de la diversidad territorial a través del federalismo o el Estado autonómico, y a los desafíos que se plantean desde el pluralismo social, con particular atención a las minorías religiosas y grupos homosexuales. Muchas veces, las demandas sociales y territoriales inciden en el ejercicio de derechos fundamentales. Este libro se centra sobre todo en la interrelación entre organización territorial del poder y derechos (derechos estatutarios, derechos lingüísticos), en las diversas formas de proteger la libertad religiosa y en las transformaciones del derecho privado, particularmente del derecho de familia. La obra colectiva es fruto de la colaboración entre profesores de Derecho constitucional, Derecho civil y Derecho internacional público, especialmente de la Universidad de Ottawa y de la Universidad de Barcelona. Los diferentes textos están en inglés o castellano, según el idioma en que el autor lo escribió originalmente.

In Diversity and Unity in Federal Countries, leading scholars and practitioners analyse the current political, socio-economic, spatial, and cultural diversity in the countries under consideration before delving into the role that social, historical, and political factors have had in shaping the balance of diversity and unity. The authors assess the value placed on diversity by examining whether present institutional arrangements and public policies restrict or enhance diversity and address the future challenges of balancing diversity and unity in an increasingly populated and mobile world.

The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

He had been raised tough by a poor, single mother in the village before going off with the military. When Pascual comes back, he is changed—both scarred and “enlightened” by his experiences. To his eyes, the village has remained frozen in time. After experiencing alternative cultures in the wider world, he finds that he is both comforted and disgusted by the village’s lingering “indigenous” characteristics.
