JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Non-Discrimination in European Private Law
Book SynopsisThe rapid expansion of non-discrimination provisions through EU legislation and court decisions gives rise to the need to determine the foundations, objectives and limitations of protection against discrimination in relation to freedom of contract. This new challenge in the field of European private law may only be overcome through a discussion of the different legal traditions in Europe. Such a discussion is presented in this volume by legal scholars from a number of European nations.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Das Unrecht der versuchten Tat
Book SynopsisIn allen gängigen Darstellungen zum Allgemeinen Teil des Strafrechts finden sich Hinweise zum "Strafgrund des Versuchs". Ähnlich wie die Ausführungen zu den Straftheorien fristen sie jedoch ein isoliertes, von keinem weitergehenden Erkenntnisinteresse getragenes Dasein im Vorfeld der eigentlich zentralen Gesetzesanalyse. Damit wird der Zusammenhang verschleiert, der zur Lösung dogmatischer Einzelprobleme einerseits und zu den Fragen nach Legitimation und Zweck staatlicher Kriminalstrafe andererseits besteht. Anliegen dieser Untersuchung ist es, die Grundlagen der Versuchsdogmatik systematisch zu entwickeln. Ausgehend von einer straftheoretischen Weichenstellung stellt Matthias Wachter einen allgemeinen Verbrechensbegriff vor, aus dem sich Grenzen für eine legitime Strafbarkeit in unterschiedlichen Versuchskonstellationen ableiten lassen.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Corporate Governance in Deutschland und
Book SynopsisIm Kontext der Wirtschaftskrise wird die Wichtigkeit einer verantwortungsvollen und nachhaltigen Unternehmensführung und -überwachung der börsennotierten Aktiengesellschaften in der politischen und rechtlichen Diskussion immer wieder betont. Im Vordergrund steht die Forderung nach krisenfesten Corporate Governance-Prinzipien und wirksamen Kontroll- und Sanktionsmechanismen, wobei stets auf die richtige Balance zwischen Selbstregulierung des Kapitalmarktes und gesetzlicher bzw. staatlicher Regulierung geachtet werden soll. Dabei spielen die nationalen Corporate Governance-Kodizes als soft law -Mechanismen eine zentrale Rolle. Chloé Lignier untersucht die Gemeinsamkeiten und Konvergenzen der Referenz-Kodizes in Deutschland und Frankreich und hinterfragt die Möglichkeit einer Rechtsangleichung bzw. Rechtsvereinheitlichung. Ferner befasst sie sich mit den de lege lata bestehenden Rechtswirkungen eines Verstoßes gegen die Entsprechenserklärung in den deutschen und französischen Rechtsordnungen. Schließlich werden die Perspektiven de lege ferenda dargestellt und vor allem die Frage der Sanktionswürdigkeit eines Verstoßes gegen die Entsprechenserklärung diskutiert.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Konzessionen in Russland und Kasachstan:
Book SynopsisIn vielen Staaten bezieht die öffentliche Hand zur Erfüllung von Aufgaben der Daseinsvorsorge auch private Unternehmen ein. Azar Aliyev untersucht den Konzessionsvertrag als ein Instrument solcher öffentlich-privater Partnerschaften im russischen und kasachischen Recht. Konzession ist in beiden Staaten gesetzlich als Vertrag über Errichtung, Modernisierung, Betrieb und Rückübereignung von öffentlichen Infrastrukturobjekten durch Private definiert. Ebenso wie in Deutschland spielen dabei Privatrecht und öffentliches Recht zusammen; allerdings liegt der Schwerpunkt der Diskussion in den untersuchten Staaten anders als in Deutschland nicht im Verwaltungs-, sondern im Privatrecht.Die Arbeit diskutiert die Konzession auch als Mittel, im Kontext eher labiler juristischer Infrastruktur "Inseln der Stabilität" für langfristige und komplexe Großprojekte zu schaffen. Dabei werden viele Grundsatzfragen des Zivilrechts sowie des Wirtschaftsprivat- und Wirtschaftsverwaltungsrechts aufgegriffen und analysiert.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Versprechen und Zufall: Eine
Book SynopsisInwieweit sind Vertragsparteien an ihre Versprechen gebunden, obwohl der Zufall ihre Pläne durchkreuzt hat? Diese Frage nach der Gefahrtragung zielt auf Grundprobleme des Vertragsrechts. Susanne Zwirlein analysiert die Genese der Regeln zu Unmöglichkeit und Gefahrtragung beim Kauf beweglicher Sachen im englischen und deutschen Recht in ihrem ideengeschichtlichen Kontext. Flankierend unternimmt sie einen kritischen Ausblick auf Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer Rechtsvereinheitlichung auf diesem Gebiet. Sie zeigt auf, welche erheblichen Unterschiede die historische Entwicklung und die dogmatischen Tiefenstrukturen von Unmöglichkeit und Gefahrtragung im englischen und deutschen Recht aufweisen. Die Verfasserin gewinnt ihre Ergebnisse durch eine historisch-vergleichende Analyse, die Quellen von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart umfasst.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Materialisierung des Zivilverfahrensrechts: Der
Book SynopsisUnter dem Schlagwort der "Materialisierung" wird diskutiert, wie materiellrechtliche Sonderwertungen zugunsten der schwächeren Partei auf den Zivilprozess Einfluss nehmen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt hier auf verbraucherschützenden Regelungen im weiteren Sinne, welche die Privatautonomie einschränken. Im Erkenntnisverfahren hat dies zur Folge, dass ohne prozessuale Rechtfertigung von Verfahrensgrundsätzen des Zivilprozessrechts wie dem Grundsatz des Beklagtengerichtsstandes und der Parteiherrschaft abgewichen wird. Anhand des ehemaligen Abzahlungsrechts, des Verbraucherrechts, des Versicherungsrechts, des Wohnraummietrechts und des Fernunterrichtsrechts untersucht Friederike Jurczyk den Status quo und die Bedeutung dieser Entwicklung. Anschließend setzt sie diese in Relation zu Forderungen nach mehr Verbraucherschutz im Zivilprozess und Neuerungen im Recht der alternativen Streitbeilegung.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Der apokryphe Nietzsche: Auf den Spuren des
Book SynopsisWährend Friedrich Nietzsche als eine der bedeutendsten Figuren innerhalb der deutschen Kulturgeschichte gilt, wird sein Einfluss auf den juristischen Diskurs als marginal beurteilt. Es scheint, als hätten sich die Rechtsphilosophen und -theoretiker einer vertieften Auseinandersetzung mit dem Denker enthalten. Sophia Gluth hinterfragt diesen Umstand und beleuchtet, ob und wie theoretisierende Juristen mit Nietzsche umgegangen sind. Dabei deckt sie ein Phänomen auf, das bisher weder gesehen noch beschrieben wurde: die konstante Rezeption Friedrich Nietzsches in der Rechtswissenschaft. Untersucht werden die Rezeptionsansätze vom Kaiserreich bis in die Gegenwart. Die juristischen Nietzsche-Lektüren u.a. des Freirechts, der "Konservativen Revolution", der Nationalsozialisten sowie der Postmoderne werden dabei stets eingebettet in ihre kulturelle und soziologische Umwelt. Erzählt wird so eine - nicht zuletzt bedrückende - juristische Ideen- und Mentalitätsgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Anlegerschutz durch Produktverbote auf
Book SynopsisVor allem Kleinanleger treffen ihre Anlageentscheidung unter dem Einfluss verschiedenartiger Rationalitätsdefizite. Aus Sicht des Gesetzgebers genügt es deshalb nicht, sie allein durch Maßnahmen des Informationsmodells vor nachteiligen Anlageentscheidungen zu schützen. Mit dem Instrument der Produktintervention kann die BaFin seit 2015 daher das Inverkehrbringen bestimmter Finanzprodukte zum Zwecke des Anlegerschutzes untersagen. Martin Gerding weist nach, dass dieser paternalistische Regelungsansatz mit dem marktrational-optimistischen Verständnis des Informationsmodells vereinbart werden kann. Dazu analysiert er die Systematik des neuartigen Produktinterventionsregimes, ergründet die Legitimation paternalistisch motivierter Marktzugangsbeschränkungen für Kleinanleger vor dem Hintergrund verhaltensökonomischer Erkenntnisse und erarbeitet Hinweise für eine rechtssichere Handhabung der Produktintervention in der behördlichen Anwendungspraxis. Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Wissenschaftspreis der Juristischen Gesellschaft Osnabrück-Emsland 2021 ausgezeichnet.

Springer International Publishing AG Introduction to Law
Book SynopsisThis book is exceptional in the sense that it provides an introduction to law in general rather than the law of one specific jurisdiction, and it presents a unique way of looking at legal education. It is crucial for lawyers to be aware of the different ways in which societal problems can be solved and to be able to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different legal solutions. In this respect, being a lawyer involves being able to reason like a lawyer, even more than having detailed knowledge of particular sets of rules. Introduction to Law reflects this view by focusing on the functions of rules and on ways of arguing the relative qualities of alternative legal solutions. Where ‘positive’ law is discussed, the emphasis is on the legal questions that must be addressed by a field of law and on the different solutions which have been adopted by, for instance, the common law and civil law tradition. The law of specific jurisdictions is discussed to illustrate possible answers to questions such as when the existence of a valid contract is assumed.Table of Contents1 Sources of Law by Jaap Hage.- 2 Legal Reasoning by Jaap Hage.- 3 Basic Concepts of Law by Jaap Hage.- 4 The Law of Contract by Jan Smits.- 5 Property Law by Bram Akkermans.- 6 Tort Law by Jaap Hage.- 7 Criminal Law by Johannes Keiler, Michele Panzavolta, and David Roef.- 8 Constitutional Law by Aalt Willem Heringa.- 9 Administrative Law by Chris Backes and Mariolina Eliantonio.- 10 The Law of Europe by Jaap Hage.- 11 Tax Law by Marcel Schaper.- 12 International Law by Menno T.

Springer International Publishing AG Political Asylum Deceptions: The Culture of
Book SynopsisThis book explores the legitimacy of political asylum applications in the US and UK through an examination of the varieties of evidence, narratives, and documentation with which they are assessed. Credibility is the central issue in determining the legitimacy of political asylum seekers, but the line between truth and lies is often elusive, partly because desperate people often have to use deception to escape persecution. The vetting process has become infused with a climate of suspicion that not only assesses the credibility of an applicant’s story and differentiates between the economic migrant and the person fleeing persecution, but also attempts to determine whether an applicant represents a future threat to the receiving country. This innovative text approaches the problem of deception from several angles, including increased demand for evidence, uses of new technologies to examine applicants’ narratives, assessments of forged documents, attempts to differentiate between victims and persecutors, and ways that cultural misunderstandings can compromise the process. Essential reading for researchers and students of Political Science, International Studies, Refugee and Migration Studies, Human Rights, Anthropology, Sociology, Law, Public Policy, and Narrative Studies.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- SECTION ONE: Asylum Fraud.Chapter 1: Asylum Fraud.- SECTION TWO: Evidence: What Counts as Evidence?Chapter 2: Narratives.Chapter 3: Documentary Evidence.Chapter 4: Science and Technology as Determinants of Credibility.SECTION THREE: Misunderstandings and Suspicion.Chapter 5: Your Bribery is My Networking: Understanding the Meaning of Exchange in Asylum Claims.Chapter 6: New forms of Evidence: Membership in a Particular Social Group.SECTION FOUR: Victim or Perpetrator.Chapter 7: A Case Study: from Perpetrator to Victim to Perpetrator.Chapter 8: Victim or Perpetrator?.- Conclusion.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Sociology of Law: A Study of Cultural Contextualism
Book SynopsisThis book, based on extensive ethnographic material, analyzes the complex relationships between the law and various social controls, helping to answer the question of how social order is formed. Formal law exists in a web of complex structures and meanings. Accordingly, legal study must take into account multiple types of order, allowing us to understand in depth the strengths and weaknesses, reasonable and absurdity, and successes and failures of the law. In addition, the interactions of numerous actors shape the structure and context of the law. Exploring these aspects—while also highlighting diverse informal/non-state norms that influence day-to-day social practices, and which have never been replaced by modern laws—the book offers an insightful resource for all readers who are interested in the practice of Chinese law or in the connections between culture, society, and the law.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Observing Law and Order.- Action, Culture and Order.- Law Pluralism, Social Control and Order.- Conclusion: Constructing a Legal Theory Centered on Chinese Issue.

Marshall Cavendish International (Asia) Pte Ltd Karpal Singh: Tiger of Jelutong: The full
Book SynopsisKarpal Singh is widely regarded as Malaysia’s best criminal and constitutional lawyer. His sudden death on 17 April 2014 in a horrific car accident – just a month after he was convicted of sedition in the High Court – shocked and saddened Malaysians to the core and left a deep void in the country’s legal and political landscape. Karpal was a fearless advocate for justice and a defender of human rights in South East Asia and has appeared in the Privy Council in London on a number of occasions before such appeals were abandoned by Malaysia. He is renowned for his defence of many people from many nations who have faced the death penalty under Malaysia's Dangerous Drugs Act. In recent years, one of his biggest achievements was his successful defence of former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on two charges of sodomy in 2012. On the night he died, Karpal was still fighting for Anwar, who had been convicted once again of sodomy, and seeking to reassure him. He told the Opposition leader in a telephone call he would do his best in the prosecution’s `fast-tracked’ Federal Court of Appeal. Indeed, Karpal had Anwar’s files with him in his vehicle when the fateful crash occurred. In this edition with a new foreword by Karpal’s son, Gobind Singh Deo, veteran journalist Tim Donoghue completes the biography of Malaysia’s tenacious and principled lawyer-politician

De Gruyter The Convenience of Corporate Crime: Financial
Book Synopsis As documented in a number of case studies (from Telia Telecom in Sweden to Wirecard in Germany) in this book, recidivism seems to be of a substantial magnitude in corporate crime. Corporations tend to repeat white-collar offenses such as financial crime and environmental crime in various forms as long as they find it convenient. A minor fine from time to time and dismissal of some executives as scapegoats do not prevent corporations from committing and concealing new offenses as long as there is a convenient financial motive, a convenient organizational opportunity, and a convenient willingness for deviant behavior. Businesses and their executives tend to be recidivists who get away with light punishment in most jurisdictions. The relevant audiences for this book include law students, business students, sociology students, and criminology students. Fraud examiners, defense attorneys, compliance officers, police investigators, as well as prosecutors can find the structural model of convenience to be an ideal template in preparing corporate crime case narratives.

Academic Studies Press Being a Nation State in the Twenty-First Century:
Book SynopsisSince the founding of the Zionist movement until today, the question of the relationship between “church” and state in Israel remains unresolved, resulting in a continuous legal and social conflict among Israelis. The tension that arises from Judaism acting not only as a religion and culture but also as a national entity constitutionally underpinning an entire state—resulting in the “Jewish and democratic state” of Israel—manifests in major aspects of daily life for Israelis, such as marriage and divorce, conversion, and Shabbat. This book presents a crucial piece of scholarship in understanding the history and current dynamics of the relation between state and religion in Israel, and, in doing so, provides a unique perspective on the future potential solutions to this social rift. Trade Review“Judaism is a unique entity. It is a religion and a culture, but it is also a national entity. The State of Israel, the fulfillment of a dream of two millennia, when without a foothold in the promised land, Jewish continued existence depended on religious, spiritual, and intellectual values. But, how can this state, Jewish and democratic, relate to state and religion matters? … Shuki Friedman, in his concise but very informative, balanced, and well-organized book, surveys the issues systematically and describes the development of state and religion issues since the establishment of Israel.” — Justice Elyakim Rubinstein, from the preface“The book is a fascinating read for readers outside of Israel that may not understand the basics of, and the inherent complexities of how the government of Israel operates, its laws, and the many tensions between the secular and religious communities.”— Ben Rothke, The Times of IsraelTable of ContentsPersonal Introduction and Acknowledgments Introduction: Jewish and Democratic—On Church-State Relations in Israel 1.

Nevertheless, this rhetorical commitment to children''s rights is not necessarily realised in practice. Now in its fourth edition, Fortin''s Children''s Rights and the Developing Law explores the extent to which law and policy in England promotes or undermines the rights of children. Fully revised and updated, this textbook uses current research on child development and welfare to reflect on the extent to which the law fulfils children''s rights in a wide range of areas, including medical law, education and child poverty. These developments are measured again the domestic law and the UK''s international obligations under, for example, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC More Posthuman Glossary
Book SynopsisThe notion of the posthuman continues to both intrigue and confuse, not least because of the huge number of ideas, theories and figures associated with this term. More Posthuman Glossary provides a way in to the dizzying array of posthuman concepts, providing vivid accounts of emerging terms. It is much more than a series of definitions, however, in that it seeks to imagine and predict what new terms might come into being as this exciting field continues to expand. A follow-up volume to the brilliant interventions of Posthuman Glossary (2018), this book extends and elaborates on that work, particularly focusing on concepts of race, indigeneity and new ideas in radical ecology. It also includes new and emerging voices within the new humanities and multiple modes of communicating ideas.This is an indispensible glossary for those who are exploring what the non-human, inhuman and posthuman might mean in the 21st century.Trade ReviewMore Posthuman Glossary provides a significant set of framework concepts and topics that navigate through the abundance of innovative methodological tools generated by posthumanist practices, and enables ways to think with the complex conditions of the world. * Felicity Colman, Professor of Media Arts, University of the Arts, London, UK *How are we to navigate the world today? The editors of More Posthuman Glossary adopt the Stengerian strategy of forming relays. The question is no longer whether to render explicit or clarify what would remain implicit. It is about “consolidating just a little more”, always a little more with every new entry in the glossary. Encore! * Andrej Radman, Assistant Professor of Architecture Philosophy and Theory, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands *Table of ContentsContributors Preface, Donna Haraway Introduction, Rosi Braidotti, Emily Jones and Goda Klumbyte Glossary Acting as country, Daryle Rigney Agrarian (Post-)Humanities, Sophie von Redecker Algoritmic governmentality, Antoinette Rouvroy and Goda Klumbyte Art and Bioethics, Sarah Boers Collaborative Politics, Simone Bignall Collapse, Christopher F.
