The book provides a comprehensive legal assessment of four different types of safe pathways to protection in the EU: the asylum visa, resettlement, ad hoc humanitarian admission and sponsorship programs. It investigates the effects these pathways can have on the asylum paradox, that is the paradoxical interplay in current EU asylum policy between the granting of territorial protection on the one hand and the prevention of access to territory on the other.Based on the assumption, that the asylum paradox is the result of a conflict of responsibility principles, the book develops an analytical tool, a responsibility framework, for the analysis and assessment. Overall, the book identifies normative differences, depending on the specific pathway and its details of implementation.

Das öffentliche Recht und seine Wissenschaft interagieren auf vielfältige Weise mit anderen Rechtsbereichen - seien es Normen anderen Ursprungs oder solche, die innerstaatlich typischerweise anderen Bereichen zugeordnet werden - sowie Erkenntnissen anderer Disziplinen. Erst der Blick auf diese Interaktionen ermöglicht es, das öffentliche Recht und seine Wissenschaft in einem größeren Kontext zu sehen. Die Beiträge des Tagungsbandes analysieren Recht auf allen Ebenen, nutzen interdisziplinäre oder rechtsvergleichende Methoden und untersuchen die Interaktionen des Öffentlichen Rechts eingebettet in konkrete Fragestellungen um Demokratie, Lebensgrundlagen, Klimagerechtigkeit und feministische Rechtswissenschaft.Mit Beiträgen vonAnna Berry | Valentina Chiofalo | Dr. Talya Deibel | Jan Dönges | Steliyana Doseva | Dr. Emma M.

Historically and to the present day, social work has been closely intertwined with social movements, both as allies and in opposition to them. This engagement finds its expression in conventions (human rights), cooperation (world conferences) and coalitions (NGOs).This textbook offers an insight into the connections between social movements and social work from an international perspective, teaching their historical and theoretical foundations and illustrating them in a practical way with case studies from around the world. It aims to bring the perspectives of a 'global social work profession and discipline', and thus the international and political dimensions of social work, back to the forefront of the discipline.

In conclusion, the world of M&A in the healthcare industry is a complex and ever-evolving landscape, where the intersection of business strategy and patient care holds profound implications for stakeholders across all levels. The journey the authors have embarked upon in this book has been one of exploration, analysis, and reflection, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities inherent in this dynamic sector.

While the surge of populism in the West has attracted considerable public attention, countries often considered to be on Europe's 'periphery' have largely escaped both scholarly and general interest. Political developments in Armenia, Albania, Bosnia, Georgia, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia are poorly understood politically and often opaque to non-specialists. Yet the societies, economies, politics and the aspirations of the people in these countries remain closely intertwined with the rest of Europe and its development. From the perspectives of scholars from the region, this book offers an informed assessment of the role, causes and political consequences of populism in areas that are important but often ignored parts of the European political landscape.With contributions byAshot Aleksanyan | Nane Aleksanyan | Aneta Cekikj | Simon Clarke | Ruben Elamiryan | Reinhard Heinisch | Despot Kovacevic | Klaudia Koxha | David Matsaberidze | SlaviSa Orlovic | Maja Savic-Bojanic | Avdi Smajljaj | Daniel Smilov | Ruzha Smilova | Nemanja Stankov

The work deals with Digital Commons. These are a case of the new organizational forms developed in the realm of digital economy and fall under the notion of "Network Enterprise", substituting the classical hierarchical forms of firms with horizontal cooperation between independent agents.They are hybrid forms of organization, which reject both markets and hierarchies, as the two mainstream organizational modes of conventional economics. They are based on individual autonomy combined with egalitarian cooperative mechanisms, trying to reap the best of the organizational structure of firms without sacrificing individual autonomy.

From the 1972 Stockholm Declaration to the European Union's Green Deal, the principles of international environmental law have successfully permeated the multilateral discourse. They are also woven into a large patchwork of international treaties, binding the international community and requiring their implementation at the domestic level. This materials collection provides an edited compilation of international and European environmental law documents. Alongside the fundamentals as well as the procedural and liability frameworks, it includes a selection of the most relevant sectoral treaties relating to air, ozone, climate, freshwater, oceans, biodiversity, and hazardous substances.

Indem die Rechtswissenschaft das Recht vorandenkt, kann sie am zivilisatorischen Fortschritt mit und durch Recht mitwirken. Dieser Sammelband reflektiert über diese These, die für Prof. Dr. h.c. Heike Jung eine Art Bekenntnischarakter hat, und wirft hierzu Schlaglichter auf herausgehobene Bereiche, in denen sich eine gewichtige Rolle der Rechtswissenschaft bei der Weiterentwicklung des Rechts aufdrängt: Die "tour d'horizon" reicht dabei vom Völkerstrafrecht über die die Rechtswissenschaft als Akteur der Rechtsentwicklung im Bereich der Digitalisierung bis hin zur Rolle der Strafrechtswissenschaft bei der Begrenzung und Bewältigung des menschengemachten Klimawandels.Mit Beiträgen vonProf. Dr. Joxerramon Bengoetxea | Prof. Dr. Michael Bohlander | Prof. Dr. Dominik Brodowski, LL.M.

Introducing ethically controversial (bio)technologies into the public healthcare system inevitably provokes societal and legal conflict. While it is often argued that these choices ought to comply with moral standards, the consideration of ethical and religious concerns raises a serious problem of legitimacy. By adopting the position that the state must act in an ethically neutral manner this book provides a critical legal analysis of the relationship between ethics and law and its implications for the public healthcare system. The ensuing examination combines a comparative, legal-constitutional perspective with the investigation of two case studies: preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).

Die Herausforderungen für das Regieren in Europa und insb. in der EU und in ihren Mitgliedstaaten werden nicht geringer; im Gegenteil, Entwicklungen wie die Finanz- bzw. Schuldenkrise, der Austritt Großbritanniens aus der EU, die COVID-19-Pandemie, starke anti-europäische Tendenzen in einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten oder der Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine waren 2003, dem Jahr der Veröffentlichung der ersten Festschrift für Professor Rudolf Hrbek, kaum denk- und vorstellbar. Die Autorinnen und Autoren nehmen sehr unterschiedliche Perspektiven ein, wenn sie der Frage nachgehen, wie die Europäische Union mit den jüngsten Herausforderungen umgeht und welche Lehren sie daraus zieht.

Der Band ist dem Verhältnis von Informationen, Wahlen und Demokratie gewidmet. Deutschland, aber auch andere Länder in den Blick nehmend, widmen sich die Autor:innen vor allem den Bürger:innen, ihren Einstellungen, Interessen und Wahlentscheidungen. Auch die Rolle von Kontexten wird beleuchtet, insbesondere von Informationskontexten: Wie und mit wem sprechen Menschen über Politik, wie informieren sie sich über neue und alte Medien, welche Rollen spielen intermediäre Instanzen?Mit Beiträgen vonO.

Emotions have always been considered an important element of political communication. Recent research has demonstrated the significance of emotions in individual information-processing and political judgements. Used strategically, emotions thus become an instrument for influencing people. Based on content analyses of TV news and political talk shows in Germany, this book analyses with which emotions television portrays politicians and which techniques are used to trigger emotions in viewers. Using experiments, it investigates how portraying emotional politicians can affect political attitudes against the background of the theory of emotional contagion.

The reference work contains definitions of concepts of international security and peace. It is oriented towards the current state of research, which distinguishes it from the usual keyword collections in traditional and electronic dictionaries. With some 800 terms and over 1000 definitions and associated explanations, readers are provided with a tool to make scientific working definitions easily accessible. On the other hand, the dictionary is intended to give practitioners the possibility to quickly access scientific terms. Helpful for scientific research and practitioners alike are the approximately 5000 cross-references to other terms as well as the comprehensive literature references. This book is aimed primarily at teachers and students of political science as well as researchers and practitioners in politics, administration and journalism.

The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine represents a Zeitenwende - a turning point - in German foreign and security policy, which requires a complete redefinition of Germany's role within the future European security order. Through contributions by renowned experts, this anthology provides information on the causes, developments and foreseeable consequences of the Russian war of aggression. This open access book will appeal to scholars, decision-makers, students, and anyone interested in international politics, conflict studies, and military-strategic dimensions of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

TTIP is not "dead". The author demonstrates why many of the TTIP negotiating content is more relevant today than ever before in connection with the ongoing EU-US trade negotiations that have been picking up new speed. From the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) to the Trump administration's trade war, this book examines the transatlantic trade relationship between the European Union and the United States and the political implications on both sides of the Atlantic. This book also provides policy recommendations for both sides on how to move forward based on the analysis. An outlook for trade in the 21st century is provided drawing on trade history between the two entities over the years up until the current 2023 trends.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Europäischem Rat und Europarat? Wo liegen die Ursachen für die zahlreichen Krisen, die Europa gemeistert - oder noch vor sich - hat? In seiner 4., überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Auflage erklärt das Buch, wie unser neues Europa funktioniert, welche ungeahnten Freiheiten und Chancen es uns bietet - und warum es mitunter nicht funktioniert. Anschaulich analysiert der Autor das gesamte Spektrum aktueller Themen - von den Turbulenzen um den Euro, die Flüchtlingspolitik, den Brexit und Fridays for Future bis hin zum "Green Deal" und dem Angriffskrieg Russlands auf die Ukraine.Europa ist kein Elite-Projekt. Dieses bewährte, leicht lesbare Taschenlexikon lädt Einsteiger wie Europa-Kenner gleichermaßen ein, mitzumachen, zu kritisieren und zu diskutieren. Europa ist zugegeben unperfekt, aber es ist das Erstaunlichste, was wir auf unserem Kontinent in den letzten Jahrhunderten auf die Beine gestellt haben.

Despite peacebuilding efforts between Ukraine and Poland, the author shows that the conflict between the two nations, with its violent zenith in the 20th century, remains unresolved. Looking at Andrei Sheptyts'kyi, Ukrainian Greek Catholic metropolitan between 1901 and 1944, as well as the insights from conducting qualitative research with contemporary representatives of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the author argues that Sheptyts'kyi must be considered a peacebuilder, and that, following his example, representatives of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church are uniquely situated to be peacebuilders in the Polish-Ukrainian conflict. Lastly, the author suggests several avenues for future peacebuilding.

The 2008 financial crisis brought the far-reaching influence of credit ratings on capital markets into focus and confirmed doubts about the quality of ratings published by rat-ing agencies. In the context of regulatory efforts to limit the influence of ratings, Marius Müller addresses the question to what extent investment funds are obliged to sell bonds that no longer comply with investment guidelines following a rating downgrade. Results of a statistical analysis of 200 European and U.S. fund prospectuses are evaluated in the light of regulatory objectives. Subsequently, a structural proposal for the formulation of investment guidelines is developed, accounting for the protection of investor interests and market functioning.

This book challenges assumptions prevalent among development experts that participatory forums and mechanisms enhance democracy in a highly unequal setting. These assumptions ignore the pernicious ways in which social and economic status and political standing differentiate citizenship. The book develops a counter-narrative from below, starting from the manifold ways in which people engage with the state in a South African township and the structures of power they encounter. By doing so, it reveals that political participation, as imagined in the Global North, is a privilege not only of individuals but also of societies, and (re-)discovers a profound epistemological gap between elite assumptions and the perspectives of the governed.

When it comes to the question of the legal significance of the so called bellum iustum doctrine, i.e. the idea of a just war, international lawyers start to feel uneasy. A large part of contemporary legal scholarship maintains the opinion that this doctrine was never part of international law. However, the subject remains controversial. The work in hand casts a new light on the longstanding bellum iustum - bellum legale controversy while taking into account the more recent narrative turn in international law with particular consideration of its implications on international legal theory. It is shown that any categorical denial of the just war doctrine in international law is flawed from the outset, since law is value-related.

The central question of Transition 2.0 is this: what (and how) may a new government do to re-establish constitutional democracy, as well as repair membership within the European Union, without breaching the European rule of law? This volume demonstrates that EU law and international commitments impose constraints but also offer tools and assistance for facilitating the way back after rule of law and democratic backsliding. The various contributions explore the constitutional, legal, and social framework of 'Transition 2.0'.With contributions byMatej Avbelj | Michal Bobek | Adam Bodnar | Armin von Bogdandy | Dario Castiglione | Pawel Filipek | Diego García-Sayán | Christophe Hillion | Sara Iglesias Sánchez | András Jakab | Maryhen Jiménez | David Kosar | Zdenek Kühn | Angelika Nußberger | Jirí Pribán | Kim Lane Scheppele | Werner Schroeder | Katarína sipulová | Pál Sonnevend | Luke Dimitrios Spieker | Maciej Taborowski | Miroslaw Wyrzykowski

Mit dem Schwerpunktthema "Faktor Mensch" will das Jahrbuch Technikphilosophie 2023 zum einen die vielfältigen Ausprägungen des Mangels im technischen Bereich (und insbesondere bei den "neuen" Technologien) untersuchen: Wie modellieren, kompensieren oder parodieren Maschinenwelten, Benutzeroberflächen, Implementierungsstrategien oder gar ganze großtechnische Ökosysteme "den" Menschen - mithin "ihre" Version von uns selbst? Wie diskriminiert Technik? Wie bildet sie? In welchem Maß kann sie den Menschen "reduzieren"? Zum anderen gilt es, einen neuen Blick darauf zu werfen, was "Menschsein" in diesem Kontext eigentlich bedeutet, und die Anthropologie als Teil von Techniktheorien und Technikdiskursen neu zu beleuchten. Technikkritik muss also auch als Kritik am Menschen verstanden werden.Mit Beiträgen vonFabian Anicker | Petra Gehring | Axel Gelfert | Martina Heßler | Andreas Kaminski | Ruth Karl | Katerina Krtilova | Joachim Landkammer | Kevin Liggieri | Felix Maschewski | Nicola Mößner | Anna-Verena Nosthoff | Felix Reda | Jean-Paul Sartre | Björn Schembera | Stefan Schöberlein | Marcel Siegler | Florian Sprenger | Martin Warnke

Sprache und Politik stehen in einem konstitutiven Zusammenhang: Sprache ist Voraussetzung, Medium und Resultat von Politik. Die Untersuchung dieses Verhältnisses braucht einen auch interdisziplinären Blick auf Grundlagen, Manifestationen und Kontexte von Sprache und Politik, denen sich dieser Band mit unterschiedlichen Perspektiven widmet. Die Studien und Beispiele stammen dabei aus allen Bereichen der Politikwissenschaft, von der politischen Theorie über die Regierungslehre bis hin zu den Internationalen Beziehungen und sind verbunden mit Wissensbeständen aus der Linguistik, Phonetik und Literaturwissenschaft. Die Beiträge repräsentieren dabei sowohl die Relevanz als auch unterschiedliche Perspektiven zur Erforschung des Zusammenhangs von Sprache und Politik.Mit Beiträgen vonDaniel Beck | Angelika Braun | Manuel Fröhlich | Marta Kozlowska | Laura Panne | Michael Roseneck | Gabi Schlag | Johannes Schmoldt | Alexander Spencer | David Teiner | Martin Wengeler | Julia Zhorzel | Alexandra Zierold

Until a few years ago, nothing seemed impossible in terms of the further development of European Private Law. Important projects such as the Common Frame of Reference and a Common European Sales Law were discussed, even a European Civil Code seemed to be within reach.With the failure of these ideas, however, the great visions for European Private Law have become silent, which does not take away from the fact that it is nevertheless developing steadily, only in a more small-scale and fragmentary manner than originally envisioned. This book aims on the one hand to show the state of development of European Private Law in all its facets, and on the other hand to answer the question of what the acquis communautaire of the future should look like.With contributions byEsther Arroyo Amayuelas | Wojciech Banczyk | Christian von Bar | Luigi Buonanno | Michel Cannarsa | Olha O.

An effective protection of minors, whose migration status is not regulated, but whose numbers keep increasing, is an issue in all regions of the globe. Accordingly, one the main areas of reflection in the present volume are legal obligations applicable to children lacking proper documentation, citizenship or registration and thus being in an ¿irregular' situation. Specifically, this problem is examined from general human rights law perspective, Convention of the Rights of the Child, regional responses with special attention to African best practices and implementation of international standards on the national level.With contributions byFaith Kabata, Martyna Laszewska-Hellriegel, Amina Maneggia, Joanna Markiewicz-Stanny, Jacek Mazurkiewicz, Tomasz Milej, Allan Mukuki, Patricia Ouma, Magdalena Póltorak, Caterina Rohde-Abuba, Piotr Szymaniec, Ratemo Tom Junior, Alessia Valongo, Emmah Wabuke and Agnieszka Wedel-Domaradzka.
