De Jure and De Facto Validity in the Logic of Time and Modality

Do Constitutional Rights Matter? The Relationship between De Jure and De Facto Human Rights Protection∗

The critique of constitutions as mere parchment barriers is as old as the practice of writing them down. Yet states put a good deal of energy into drafting constitutions and, in some cases, do so with the intention of limiting their subsequent behavior. At least some, then, appear to view constitutions as more than merely parchment. The purpose of the following article is to explore this possib...

De Facto and De Jure Property Rights : Land Settlement and Land Conflict on the Australian , Brazilian

We present a conceptual framework to better understand the interaction between settlement and the emergence of de facto property rights on frontiers prior to governments establishing and enforcing de jure property rights. In this framework, potential rents associated with more exclusivity drives “demand” for commons arrangements but demand is not a sufficient explanation; norms and politics mat...

De Facto Versus de Jure Political Institutions in the Long-Run: A Multivariate Analysis, 1820–2000

In this paper we use the components of the PolityIV project's polity2 and Vanhanen's Index of Democracy indicators to analyse the relationship between de jure and de facto political institutions from 1820 until 2000 with a canonical correlation method corrected for the sample selection bias. We find considerable fluctuation in the relationship between the two measures. After a moderate positive...

de FACTo nucleosome dynamics.

The factors required for the delivery of RNA polymerase II to class II promoters using naked DNA were all identified by 1998, yet their exact mechanisms of action were not fully understood in all cases, and in some instances, their precise function still remains unknown. Nonetheless, a complete understanding of the complexity of the RNA polymerase II transcription cycle necessitated the develop...
