This paper aims to conduct a descriptive analysis about the conceptual development that Chilean higher education has had from the perspective of Fernando Atria. We will use his texts; "Neoliberalism con rostro Humano" (2013) and "Derechos Socials and Education" (2014), as a starting point. They will be contrasted with some more up-to-date interviews, to determine the existence of any meaningful change around his higher education concept towards a context pre and post social outbreak (October 2019). Thus, it is of special significance to make reflections around the public discussion that involves the new Chilean constitution drafting, where Atria also won its seat as a conventional constituent. Therefore, it is sought in this process to show his transition from academic to political. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to expose how the ideas of social law circulated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries between Europe and America. To do this, this text shows, with some generalizations for reasons of space, the German, French, Italian, Spanish, American and Latin American case, to make clear how this Atlantic communication of academic ideas and social rules operated. Furthermore, this paper aims to demonstrate that, although there was a global circulation of social ideas in law, it cannot be lost sight of how these ideas were received locally, in such a way that one cannot be studied without the other, an aspect that this article called "glocalization" of social law.

Los derechos sociales son considerados mayoritariamente en la Constitución Española como principios rectores de política social, supeditados a la economía presupuestaria, en clara diferencia con los derechos civiles. Esta orientación se basa en unos pactos internacionales que han dado pie a una praxis generalizada de ralentización que han acabado en la práctica con el Estado social, dentro y fuera de España. Este artículo pretende concienciar sobre la necesidad de acabar con esta diferencia entre unos derechos y otros, abogando por una profunda reforma de nuestra Constitución, en lo referente a la distribución de garantías del artículo 53. Pero tal reforma solo cobra sentido si también se toma conciencia de su necesidad a nivel internacional, como causa última de la brecha social que sufren todas las naciones a escala mundial.

Nowadays, citizens are aware of their rights, which, in the public health field has lead to more complaints against medical actions. Hence, it is essential that health professionals, in particular, doctors, have a clear understanding of their responsibilities, obligations and rights; as well as their possibilities of action when they attend, provide a diagnosis and treat their patients. Thus, this knowledge must encompass not only the professional field but also the personal, legal and work fields. The present work makes a general review of the norms and laws that govern the doctor's "duty of care", for the full compliance of the medical profession, the protection of those who make the medical practice possible; and above all, to be able to provide the greatest benefits for the patients.

This article challenges the general thesis on the origin of labor law in Colombia, explaining it as a concession given by president Alfonso López to the workers movement for its support during the coup d'état attempt in 1944. Through a historical analysis based on the revision of primary sources, the article states that there were several academic and political currents early in the 1930's that proposed the development of this branch of law. The article goes deeper in the critical appropriation of translational legal theories by local socialists intended to question the presumable intellectual isolation of the Colombian academicians and particularly this group. The article concludes that the labor law, understood as social right by socialists, was based at least on four sources: antiformalist currents; dialectic materialism and its expression in the Soviet law; the French social constitutionalism; and the English labor movement.

Lorenz von Stein is a German philosopher and jurist who has traditionally been proposed as one of the forerunners of the Social State. However, there are few studies of him in Spanish or English. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how, based on Social Movements and Monarchy, von Stein describes a new dimension of social rights in the Republic of mutual interest that Gurvitch disregarded. With the ideas of solidarity and mutual interests, von Stein builds a new dimension of social rights, which are transformed by the movement of the society and class interests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is a reflection on the food satisfaction problem in Colombia. This is made from a public policy point of view. For this purpose, a question is posed on the tools the Colombian law has developed from 1967 to 2008 before the hunger and malnutrition events. Although public policies in Colombia have been the tools to promote protection of the food right, such statement may seem a paradox in a country where establishment of rights is the basis for their protection.

This article makes an attempt to reflect on the problem of alimentary dissatisfaction of the Colombian population, focused on the constitutional right approach. For reaching this purpose, some questions arise about the mechanisms law has to face hunger and malnutrition. The article focuses on juridical aspects of "right to food" from a construction of a theory of rights, where authors such as Alexy lead the mentioning of this topic and then explore such construction within the Colombian legal system.
