This handbook provides a systematic overview of the legal concept and the meaning of human dignity for each European state and the European Union. For each of these 43 countries and the EU, it scrutinizes three main aspects: the constitution, legislation, and application of law (court rulings). The book addresses and presents answers to important questions relating to the concept of human dignity. These questions include the following: What is the meaning of human dignity? What is the legal status of the respective human dignity norms? Are human dignity norms of a programmatic nature, or do they establish an individual right which can be invoked before court? Is human dignity inviolable? The volume answers these questions from the perspectives of all European countries. As a reaction to the barbaric events during World War II, human dignity (dignitas) found its way into international law. Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states that "[a]ll human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." The starting point for developing the concept on a national level was the codification of human dignity in article 1, paragraph 1 of the German Grundgesetz. Consequently, the concept of human dignity spread throughout Europe and, in the context of human rights, became a fundamental legal concept

Das vorliegende Werk erfreut sich als Einführung in die Ökonomische Analyse des Rechts nach wie vor großer Beliebtheit, weshalb Verlag und Autor übereingekommen sind, eine vierte, überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage herauszugeben. Nach der Vermittlung der Analysemethoden und -konzepte werden Anwendungen aus verschiedenen Rechtsgebieten dargestellt, wobei nebst den Möglichkeiten auch die Grenzen der Ökonomischen Analyse des Rechts reflektiert werden. Zu diesem Zweck werden ihre philosophischen Grundlagen und insbesondere das Verhältnis von Effizienz und verschiedenen Konzeptionen der Gerechtigkeit untersucht. / »Efficiency Instead of Justice? Searching for the Philosophical Foundations of the Economic Analysis of Law«

Der Anarchismus - verstanden als Theorie und Praxis der Herrschaftslosigkeit - verfügt über eine lange und mannigfaltige Geschichte und Tradition. Durch seine Vielfalt und indem er starre Konzepte und Dogmen ablehnt, kann er sich an veränderte äußere Bedingungen anpassen, weshalb er auch im 21. Jahrhundert eine innovative Gesellschaftsphilosophie darstellt. Der vorliegende Band leistet einen Beitrag zur anarchistischen Debatte der Gegenwart, indem er aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln das Verhältnis von Anarchie und Ordnung ergründet. Nebst Texten zu den Grundlagen anarchistischer Organisation und zu klassischen und aktuellen anarchistischen Ordnungsmodellen finden sich Beiträge, in denen die historische Wirklichkeit des politischen Anarchismus als auch seiner Vorläufer erforscht wird. Außerdem enthält der Band Texte zu Anarchie, Ordnung und Herrschaft aus philosophischer Perspektive sowie Texte, die das Verhältnis von Anarchie, Anarchismus und rechtlicher Ordnung beleuchten. / "Anarchism as Order Without Domination?" - The present volume contributes to the anarchist debate of the present by exploring the relationship between anarchy and order from different points of view. In addition to contributions on the foundations of anarchist organization and classic and current anarchist models of order, there are contributions on anarchy, order and domination from a philosophical perspective, as well as articles that illuminate the relationship between anarchy, anarchism and legal order

This book offers an edited volume for all readers who wish to gain an in-depth grasp of the economic analysis of recent developments in energy law and policy in Europe and the United States. In response to waning resources and heightened environmental awareness, many countries are now seeking to redefine their energy mix. Several energy sources are available: coal and oil, natural gas, and a variety of renewables. Yet which of them are capable of addressing core energy-related concerns? Reliability, security, affordability, fairness, and sustainability all have to be taken into account. Further, once a target mix has been identified, two challenges remain for legal scholars: what role does the law play in achieving a specified energy mix, and, how can the law best fulfill that role? The essential energy concerns are just as important in defining the way we shape our energy mix as they are in defining the mix itself. An example of current challenges in energy law and policy can be seen in the pursuit by the German and Swiss governments of the so-called "Energiewende" (energy transition). These policies are intended to enable the transition from a non-sustainable use of fossil and nuclear energy to a more sustainable approach based on renewable energies. On the one hand, the goal is to achieve a decarbonization of the energy economy by reducing the use of fossil energy sources such as petroleum, carbon and natural gas. On the other, and in response to the Fukushima nuclear accident, a phase out is intended to eliminate the dangers of nuclear technologies. Achieving these goals poses tremendous challenges for the two countries' energy policies - partly because the energy transition will not only affect energy production, but also energy consumption. From a Law and Economics perspective, a number of questions arise: to what extent is it justifiable to rely on markets and continued technological innovation, especially with regard to the present exploitation of scarce resources? To what extent is it necessary for states to intervene in energy markets? Regulatory instruments are available to create and maintain more sustainable societies: command and control regulations, restraints, Pigovian taxes, emission certificates, nudging policies, and more. If regulation in a certain legal field is necessary, which policies and methods will most effectively spur the sustainable consumption and production of energy in order to protect the environment while mitigating any potential negative impacts on economic development? Do neoclassical and behavioural economics provide us with a suitable framework for predicting the market's complex reactions to a changing energy policy? This book provides theoretical insights as well as empirical findings in order to answer these vital questions.
