Die Repräsentation von Non-Voice-Partys in Demokratien: Argumente zur Vertretung der Menschen ohne Stimme als Teil des Volkes
by Lukas KöhlerLukas Köhler untersucht anhand zweier Argumente, dem des Eigeninteresses und dem der menschlichen Würde, wie die grundlegende Legitimation demokratischer Staaten definiert werden kann. Die Fragen werden anhand theoretischer Überlegungen und praktischer Beispiele aus dem Bereich der intergenerationellen Gerechtigkeit ausgeführt. Anhand zukünftiger Personen zeigt der Autor dabei auf, dass im Bereich der funktionalen Legitimation eine Repräsentation dieser nötig und möglich ist, wobei somit eine neue Definition des Volks vorgeschlagen wird, die sich anhand von Betroffenheit durch Staatshandlungen ausdrückt.

Die Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit in der vernetzten Weltordnung: Rechtsprechungskoordination in rechtsordnungsübergreifenden Richternetzwerken (Beiträge zum ausländischen öffentlichen Recht und Völkerrecht #293)
by Andrej LangDieses Buch analysiert grundlegend die Rechtsprechung nationaler und supranationaler Verfassungsgerichte in Mehrebenenordnungen. Anknüpfend an den Verfassungspluralismus und die Netzwerktheorie entwickelt es mit „Konstitutionalismus im Netzwerk“ ein verfassungstheoretisches Modell der Rolle der Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit jenseits des Nationalstaats. Es erklärt, wie sich Verfassungsgerichte durch richterrechtliche Normbildungsprozesse auf ein europäisches und globales Gemeinverfassungsrecht verständigen. Auf dieser Folie untersucht das Buch rechtsvergleichend rechtsordnungsübergreifende Rechtsprechungsentwicklungen zum Verhältnis zwischen den Rechtsordnungen, etwa zur Bindungswirkung internationaler Gerichtsurteile, zur Kontrolle völkerrechtlicher Gründungsverträge, zur Verfassungsidentität, zum Solange-Grundsatz und zur Ultra-Vires-Kontrolle und erörtert, inwieweit sich diese als Bausteine für eine nach den Prinzipien des Konstitutionalismus zu gestaltende vernetzte Weltordnung eignen.
Die verkäufliche Apothekenkonzession nach preußischem Recht
by Hermann LewinskyDieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
Die Vermutung unmittelbarer Wirkung des Unionsrechts: Ein Plädoyer für die Aufgabe der Kriterien hinreichender Genauigkeit und Unbedingtheit (Beiträge zum ausländischen öffentlichen Recht und Völkerrecht #254)
by Christian WohlfahrtDas Werk belegt die Vermutung der unmittelbaren Wirkung des Unionsrechts. Es propagiert hiermit eine Dogmatik, die der inhaltlichen Unklarheit der bisher in der Rechtsprechung und Wissenschaft gebräuchlichen Kriterien zur Bestimmung der unmittelbaren Wirkung, namentlich der hinreichenden Genauigkeit und Unbedingtheit, abhilft. Die Vermutung unmittelbarer Wirkung wird sowohl mit der Rechtsprechung des Gerichtshofs der Europäischen Union als auch dogmatisch begründet. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Gründe, die im Hinblick auf das Völkerrecht eine Zurückhaltung bei dessen unmittelbarer Anwendbarkeit durch nationale Gerichte und Verwaltungsbehörden rechtfertigen, sich jedenfalls nicht auf das primäre und sekundäre Unionsrecht übertragen lassen.
Die Vollstreckungsimmunität der Staaten im Wandel des Völkerrechts (Beiträge zum ausländischen öffentlichen Recht und Völkerrecht #271)
by Anja HöfelmeierDieses Buch behandelt die völkerrechtliche Immunität von Staaten und ihren Untergliederungen gegen hoheitliche Zwangsmaßnahmen anderer Staaten. Solche Maßnahmen umfassen jegliche Zugriffe auf staatliches Vermögen, die in gerichtlichen Vollstreckungs- und Anspruchssicherungsverfahren vorgenommen werden. Diese Immunität hat mit einem sich wandelnden Souveränitätsverständnis im Völkerrecht kontinuierlich Modifikationen erfahren, die sich zunächst in Ausnahmen für privatwirtschaftliches Handeln des Staates und später in Ansätzen zur normativen Einschränkung der Immunität nach schweren Völkerrechtsbrüchen äußerten. In diesem Buch werden die Entstehung und der aktuelle völkerrechtliche Gehalt der Vollstreckungsimmunität und ihrer Einschränkungen aus verschiedenen Quellen ermittelt. Zuvorderst wird die nationale Gesetzgebungs- und Spruchpraxis verschiedener Staaten untersucht und verglichen. Auch internationale Kodifikationen zur Staatenimmunität, vor allem die United Nations Convention on Jurisdictional Immunities of States and Their Property, und das Urteil des Internationalen Gerichtshofs im Fall "Jurisdictional Immunities of the State" aus dem Jahre 2012 werden im Zusammenhang dargestellt. Anders als die kommerzielle Ausnahme zur Vollstreckungsimmunität lässt sich eine Ausnahme für die Aufarbeitung schwerer Völkerrechtsbrüche nicht auf eine gewachsene Staatenpraxis stützen, sondern wird in der Literatur mit dogmatischen Argumenten begründet. Hierzu zählen die Heranziehung einer Normenhierarchie, übergreifender Gerechtigkeitsargumente oder des völkerrechtlichen Instruments der Gegenmaßnahme ebenso wie die Darstellung, die der Staatenimmunität eine Kollision mit fundamentalen Menschenrechten attestiert und diesen Normenkonflikt zulasten der Immunität auflöst. Diese Ansätze werden im vorliegenden Buch eingehend auf ihre Stichhaltigkeit nach dem geltenden Völkerrecht untersucht und auf die besondere Situation einer Geltendmachung der Vollstreckungsimmunität übertragen. Schließlich gibt das Werk einen Überblick über die Völkerrechtsentwicklung und das aus ihr jeweils folgende Souveränitäts- und Immunitätsverständnis. Aus dieser Analyse heraus werden Prognosen und Vorschläge dafür erarbeitet, wie sich die Staaten- und Vollstreckungsimmunität - als Ausfluss der staatlichen Souveränität - zukünftig im völkerrechtlichen Gefüge positionieren kann und welche Ansätze dazu genutzt werden könnten, auftretende Adjudikations- und Vollstreckungsdefizite völkerrechtskonform zu bewältigen.

Die Wirklichkeit aus neuer Sicht: Für eine andere Naturphilosophie
by Koo van der WalDie ökologische Krise hängt mit einem bestimmten modernen Naturverständnis zusammen, nämlich dem sogenannten mechanisierten Weltbild. Aus dieser Sicht ist die Natur ein Ensemble toter, inerter Dinge ohne Innenseite und eigene Aktivität und infolgedessen ein Inventar von Ressourcen. Die ‚Lösung’ der genannten Krise erfordert also ein neues Naturbild. Dem entsprechen rezente Anschauungen in den Natur- und Lebenswissenschaften, die Umrisse einer dynamischen, kreativen, offenen und vielfältigen Natur aufscheinen lassen. Ein solches Naturverständnis könnte auch die Grundlage für die Anerkennung eines intrinsischen Wertes natürlicher Gegebenheiten bilden. Die nähere Darstellung dieser neuen Sicht der Natur ist der Kern des Buches.
Different Kinds of Specificity Across Languages (Studies in Linguistics and Philosophy #92)
by Cornelia Ebert and Stefan HinterwimmerThis anthology of papers analyzes a range of specificity markers found in natural languages. It reflects the fact that despite intensive research into these markers, the vast differences between the markers across languages and even within single languages have been less acknowledged. Commonly regarded specific indefinites are by no means a homogenous class, and so this volume fills a gap in our understanding of the semantics and pragmatics of indefinites. The papers explore differences and similarities among these specificity markers, concentrating on the following issues: whether specificity is a purely semantic or also a pragmatic notion; whether the contribution of specificity markers is located on the level of the at-issue content; whether some kind of speaker-listener asymmetry concerning the identification of the referent is involved; and the behavioral scope of these indefinites in the context of other quantifiers, negation, attitude verbs, and intensional/modal operators.

Digital Fabrication in Architecture
by Nick DunnWith the increasing sophistication of CAD and other design software, there is now a wide array of means for both designing and fabricating architecture and its components. The proliferation of advanced modelling software and hardware has enabled architects and students to conceive and create designs that would be very difficult to do using more traditional methods. The use of CAD technologies in the production of physical models, prototypes and individual elements is increasingly widespread through processes such as CAD/CAM, CNC milling and rapid prototyping. This translation of computer-generated data to physical artefact can also be reversed with devices such as a digitiser, which traces the contours of physical objects directly into the computer. This book focuses on the inspiring possibilities for architecture that can be explored with all the different technologies and techniques available for making complete designs or their components.
Digital Government At Work: A Social Informatics Perspective
by Ian McLoughlin Rob Wilson Mike MartinOver the past decade, putting public services on-line has been a focus of huge policy and financial investments aimed at providing more joined-up service delivery. For some this is part of a transformation that is bringing about a new era of integrated digital government. For others digitalization means threats to privacy and security and a strengthening of bureaucracy. In the UK and beyond, front-line service providers and citizens have been slow to take up digital services whilst major projects have floundered. This book takes a fresh look at this vital area for public policy and practice. Informed by over ten years of original research on the 'inside' of projects to put local services on-line, the authors combine cross-disciplinary insights to provide a new social informatics perspective on digital government. Experiences in areas such as health and social care are used to illustrate the dangers of 'over-integration' when key decisions are left to system designers, as they seek to integrate information in centralized systems. The authors argue for a new 'architectural discourse' to change the way that systems are deployed, evolve, and are governed. This leads to the conclusion that increased coordination of public services in a digital economy is better achieved through federated rather than integrated services that recognize the infrastructural nature of information systems and the essential role of co-production in their future evolution

Digital Paper: A Manual for Research and Writing with Library and Internet Materials (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing)
by Andrew AbbottToday’s researchers have access to more information than ever before. Yet the new material is both overwhelming in quantity and variable in quality. How can scholars survive these twin problems and produce groundbreaking research using the physical and electronic resources available in the modern university research library? In Digital Paper, Andrew Abbott provides some much-needed answers to that question. Abbott tells what every senior researcher knows: that research is not a mechanical, linear process, but a thoughtful and adventurous journey through a nonlinear world. He breaks library research down into seven basic and simultaneous tasks: design, search, scanning/browsing, reading, analyzing, filing, and writing. He moves the reader through the phases of research, from confusion to organization, from vague idea to polished result. He teaches how to evaluate data and prior research; how to follow a trail to elusive treasures; how to organize a project; when to start over; when to ask for help. He shows how an understanding of scholarly values, a commitment to hard work, and the flexibility to change direction combine to enable the researcher to turn a daunting mass of found material into an effective paper or thesis. More than a mere how-to manual, Abbott’s guidebook helps teach good habits for acquiring knowledge, the foundation of knowledge worth knowing. Those looking for ten easy steps to a perfect paper may want to look elsewhere. But serious scholars, who want their work to stand the test of time, will appreciate Abbott’s unique, forthright approach and relish every page of Digital Paper.
