On 22 to 28 July 2018 the International Academy of Comparative Law organized its 20th General Congress in Fukuoka Japan. The General Congresses of the Academy are held every four years and address from a comparative perspective a multitude of topics that appear particularly relevant in our contemporary society. This book gathers a selection of the general contributions to the 20th General Congress dealing with current issues in Comparative Law. This is a premiere for the Academy. It seemed important for the Executive Committee to have access to the general contributions offered during the General Congress which certainly deserve the same attention as the General Reports. Du 22 au 28 juillet ...
"The core animating feature of administrative justice scholarship is the desire to understand how justice is achieved through the delivery of public services and the actions, inactions, and decision-making of administrative bodies. The study of administrative justice also encompasses the redress systems by which people can challenge administrative bodies to seek the correction of injustices. For a long time now, scholars have been interested in administrative justice, but without necessarily framing their work as such. Rather than existing under the rubric of administrative justice, much of the research undertaken has existed within sub-categories of disciplines, such as law, sociology, publ...
This detailed Commentary provides an authoritative interpretation of each provision in the main EU Directive on public procurement - Directive 2014/24/EU, and is rich in its critical analysis of the provisions of the 2014 Directive and the case-law. The Commentary also highlights the application problems and interpretative issues being raised in EU Member States, which in due time will make their way up to the CJEU or even require further legislative interventions.
Disaster losses in the context of natural hazards continue to rise, despite a growing understanding of disaster risks and measures to reduce them. One obstacle to enhancing private and public disaster risk reduction is the influence of the distorted risk perception of laypeople. The book argues for the necessity of public regulations and explores means to mitigate the consequences of such distorted risk perception through legal measures and adjustments to political decision-making in Council of Europe member states, while respecting the value of autonomy and democratic principles. In terms of collective decision-making, the book advocates for the implementation of deliberative fora in the de...
English summary: Risks are uncertain future threats, which present the law with a multitude of challenges. Anika Klafki develops abstract measures for risk regulation and applies them to a hitherto under-appreciated field of reference - the law of pandemics. German description: Risiken bezeichnen zukunftige Schadensereignisse, deren Eintrittswahrscheinlichkeit und Folgenschwere ungewiss sind. Daraus ergeben sich besondere Herausforderungen an das Recht. Anhand der Bewertungsparameter Effektivitat, demokratische Legitimation und rechtsstaatliche Grundsatze entwickelt Anika Klafki konkrete Massgaben fur die Risikoregulierung im Mehrebenensystem. Dabei tritt sie sowohl technokratischen Ansatzen...
The city as an independent subject of theorisation and investigation is an underexamined area of constitutional law. Although in recent years scholars have started to explore the legal dimension and place of urban areas, the study of cities as constitutional subjects remains very new, with a solid theoretical foundation yet to be established. Against this backdrop of general under-theorisation of cities in constitutional law and federalism, Cities in Federal Constitutional Theory seeks to offer a fresh theoretical account of cities as federalism subjects, exploring the increased importance they have acquired from political, economic, socio-cultural, and demographic perspectives. This volume directly addresses the relationship between cities, federalism, and localism (or subsidiarity), and responds to concerns about the scarcity of innovative theoretical discussion on the topic, while at the same time redefining accepted concepts like subsidiarity. Bringing together theoretical reflections on the city from established scholars, this edited collection significantly enriches the field of federal constitutional theory.
This casebook studies the law governing judicial review of administrative action. It examines the foundations and the organisation of judicial review, the types of administrative action, and corresponding kinds of review and access to court. Significant attention is also devoted to the conduct of the court proceedings, the grounds for review, and the standard of review and the remedies available in judicial review cases. The relevant rules and case law of Germany, England and Wales, France and the Netherlands are analysed and compared. The similarities and differences between the legal systems are highlighted. The impact of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights is considere...
This comparative book explores the dynamics driving how courts across Europe and beyond understand and analyse scientific information in nature conservation. The Habitats and the Birds Directives-the core of EU nature conservation law-are usually seen as the most 'uniform' parts of EU environmental law. This book analyses the case law from 11 current and former EU Member States' courts and explores the dynamics of how, and crucially why, their understandings of scientific uncertainty on the one hand, and EU environmental principles on the other, vary. The courts' scope and depth of review, access to scientific knowledge, and scientific literacy all influence such decisions-as does their interpretation of norms and principles. How have the courts evaluated scientific evidence, encompassing its essential uncertainties? This book answers this and many more questions pertinent to EU environmental law, comparative environmental law, administrative law, and STS studies. Co-edited by experienced leaders in the field, and with outstanding contributors, this book is an essential guide to the dynamics of nature conservation law.

Die 16. Auflage des renommierten Lehr- und Handbuchs zum Allgemeinen Verwaltungsrecht zeichnet die aktuellen Entwicklungen in Gesetzgebung, Rechtsprechung und wissenschaftlicher Diskussion bis Ende 2021 nach. Dem wachsenden Einfluss des europäischen und internationalen Verwaltungsrechts wird stets Rechnung getragen. Unverändert geblieben ist die Grundkonzeption des erstmals im Jahr 1975 von Hans-Uwe Erichsen und Wolfgang Martens herausgegebenen Werkes, das bis zur 15. Auflage im Verlag DeGruyter erschienen ist. Nach wie vor geht es zum einen darum, Studierenden und Referendar:innen eine gut lesbare Darstellung des Verwaltungsrechts auf systematischer Grundlage zur Verfügung zu stellen, um sie in die Lage zu versetzen, alte und neue verwaltungsrechtliche Fragen zu verstehen und zu beantworten. Zum anderen bietet das Buch den in der Praxis – insbesondere in der Justiz, der Rechtsanwaltschaft und der Verwaltung – mit dem Verwaltungsrecht befassten Personen und denjenigen, die sich wissenschaftlich mit verwaltungsrechtlichen Problemen beschäftigen, eine Orientierungshilfe und Anregungen.
