The Making of a German Constitution
The Making of a German Constitution is one of the first books to explore the important place of the theory and practice of private law (civil law) in the transformation of Modern Germany's fin-de-siècle constitutional arrangements. Reading sources from early nineteenth-century private law scholarship, the book offers a thought-provoking and novel understanding of German political development. The author argues that the German idea of sovereignty grew out of a dual conception of law not only as the product of socio-political transformation, but also as a means to it. In the short term, a modern social and political system in Germany was attained through non-violent means and the domestic authority of the Kaiser was severely limited by law. However, the exclusive bourgeois socio-political arrangements that were installed in this era led to considerable discontent in German society, particularly with regard to gender and class tensions. The "slow Bürgerliche Revolution" thus contributed to the traumatic ruptures that mark German history in the first third of the twentieth century.
Infertility in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
This book examines discourses around infertility and views of childlessness in medieval and early modern Europe. Whereas in our own time reproductive behaviour is regulated by demographic policy in the interest of upholding the intergenerational contract, premodern rulers strove to secure the succession to their thrones and preserve family heritage. Regardless of status, infertility could have drastic consequences, above all for women, and lead to social discrimination, expulsion, and divorce. Rather than outlining a history of discrimination against or the suffering of infertile couples, this book explores the mechanisms used to justify the unequal treatment of persons without children. Exploring views on childlessness across theology, medicine, law, demonology, and ethics, it undertakes a comprehensive examination of ‘fertility’ as an identity category from the perspective of new approaches in gender and intersectionality research. Shedding light on how premodern views have shaped understandings our own time, this book is highly relevant interest to students and scholars interested in discourses around infertility across history.
Catholic Reform in the Age of Luther
In his portrait of Duke George of Saxony (1471–1539) Christoph Volkmar offers a fresh perspective on the early Reformation in Germany. Long before the Council of Trent, this book traces the origins of Catholic Reform to the very neighborhood of Wittenberg. The Dresden duke, cousin of Frederick the Wise, was one of Luther's most prominent opponents. Not only did he fight the Reformation, he also promoted ideas for renewal of the church. Based on thousands of archival records, many of them considered for the first time, Christoph Volkmar is mapping the church politics of a German prince who used the power of the territorial state to boost Catholic Reform, marking a third way apart from both Luther and Trent. This book was orginally published in German as Reform statt Reformation. Die Kirchenpolitik Herzog Georgs von Sachsen, 1488-1525.
Models of Implementation of Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)
This book examines the implications of Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), its resulting standard of protection for persons with disabilities and the way it is understood and implemented in its diverse signatory states. Its overarching theme is to assess the impact of CRPD Article 12 on the private law concept of legal capacity and its limitations, the significance of which carries over into the realm of penal law regulations. Its impact is analysed primarily from the legal point of view, but with due regard for its psychological and psychiatric ramifications. Recognising the importance of these disciplines is important when implementing CRPD Ar...
Capacity, Participation and Values in Comparative Legal Perspective
With contributions from an international team of experts, this collection provides a much-needed international, comparative approach to mental capacity law. The book focuses particularly on exploring substantive commonalities and divergences in normative orientation and practical application embedded in different legal frameworks. It draws together contributions from eleven different jurisdictions across Europe, Asia and the UK and explores what productive or unproductive values and practices currently exist. By providing a detailed comparison of how legal and ethical commitments to persons with disabilities are framed in capacity law across different national systems, the book highlights the values and practices that could lead to changes that better respect persons with disabilities in mental capacity regimes.
Dictatorship, Democracy, and Transitional Justice in Global Legal History
The anthology presents the lectures given on the symposium »From Dictatorship to democracy« at the House of the Wannsee Conference on 13–14 September 2021. The aim of the organizers was to show what problems existed during the transition from dictatorship to democracy in several countries around the world. They all enacted laws or other measures to ensure that fundamental rights and the rule of law would resist anti-democratic ideologies, anti-Semitism, racism, and war crimes in the future. However, the legal system and law in these countries themselves often had their origins in dictatorship. Thus, there were and are obvious and hidden anti-democratic continuities that influence law and the legal system up to the present. Scientifics and jurists from Italy, Japan, Poland, Spain, South Africa, and Germany examine these continuities in their contributions.

Das Recht der DDR als Gegenstand der Rechtsgeschichte
Band 1 der Reihe "Jenaer Schriften zum DDR Recht" beinhaltet Aufsätze, die im Oktober 2019 anlässlich der Eröffnung der Forschungsstelle unter der Schirmherrschaft und mit Förderung des Thüringer Ministeriums für Migration, Justiz und Verbraucherschutz in Jena in Vortragsform präsentiert worden sind. Die hier versammelten Aufsätze fragen nach aus rechtshistorischer Perspektive bestehenden Forschungsdesideraten, was einen - bis hierhin noch nicht unternommenen - Überblick über das bisher schon Geleistete nötig macht, nach Grundbegriffen des sozialistischen "Rechts", nach dem ideologischen Rahmen/Korsett, in dem "Recht" in der DDR stattfand bzw. gestaltet wurde, nach den Strukturen, in denen in der DDR juristisches Wissen erworben wurde, weil das das Design, die Zwecksetzung und die Anwendung von Rechtsregeln durch Experten besonders prägt sowie nach dem engen Nexus zwischen "Recht" und Arbeit, der die gesamte "Rechts"-Wirklichkeit der DDR grundiert hat. Abgeschlossen wird der Band durch einen kurzen Überblick zur Arbeit der Forschungsstelle DDR-Recht an der Rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Friedrich Schiller-Universität Jena.
