Die privatisierte Erfüllung staatlicher Aufgaben
Der Staat ist zu gross, zu langsam, zu teuer und zu weit von seinen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern entfernt. Diesen Eindruck vermitteln die zahlreichen Privatisierungsvorhaben, die den Staat reformieren möchten. Können Privatisierungen die Erwartung von weniger Staat einlösen, oder sind umgekehrt die Befürchtungen berechtigt, wonach damit die rechtsstaatlichen und demokratischen Vorgaben zurückgedrängt werden? Was den Staat ausmacht, sind die Aufgaben, die er erfüllen muss. Wer nur die Art und Weise der Aufgabenerfüllung verändert, wird den Staat nicht verkleinern, verursacht aber oft zusätzlichen Kontrollaufwand. Zudem können aufgabenfremde Motive in die staatliche Aufgabenerfüllung einfliessen und die Grenzen des Staates schwieriger zu ziehen sein. Auf der anderen Seite stehen grössere Flexibilität, Erfüllungsweisen, die für den Einzelfall passen, und die erhöhte Akzeptanz seitens der Adressatinnen und Adressaten von staatlichem Handeln. Dieses Buch arbeitet mit Blick auf das schweizerische Verfassungsrecht heraus, wo Probleme und Spielräume auftreten, wenn die staatlichen Aufgaben privatisiert erfüllt werden.
Proportionality and Judicial Activism
This book uses empirical analysis to show that courts refrain from using the proportionality test as a means of judicial activism.
Court Assistance in the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration
Although international arbitration is widely hailed as an efficient, confidential and flexible way of settling commercial disputes, it has its limits. The arbitral tribunal’s lack of coercive power is thrown into particularly stark relief when it comes to the taking of evidence from third parties outside the arbitral proceedings. If they do not comply voluntarily with the request of the arbitral tribunal to testify as a witness or disclose documents, assistance must be sought from state courts. As the success of a case hinges on the evidence that a party can obtain, it is crucial to understand how to obtain evidence through state courts. At the heart of this work is the question of the conditions under which state courts may offer assistance in international arbitral proceedings. With a special focus on Switzerland and comparative aspects, this book provides helpful tactical insights for arbitral practitioners around the world.
Proportionality in Action
A comparative and empirical analysis of proportionality in the case law of six constitutional and supreme courts.
Between Islamic and Secular Law
When describing the legal systems and laws of today’s Muslim-majority states in the Middle Eastern and North African region, two categories of laws are identified: one derived from Islamic and one from non-Islamic law. Following this notion, the literature finds that novel legal areas do not have any connection to Islamic law since they were not regulated by classical Islamic law. In contrast, the topic of organ transplantation is inherently connected to Islamic law because Islam considers itself to encompass all aspects of life. This research based on the analysis of organ transplantation laws of the MENA states encourages to rethink that a strict dichotomy between Islamic and non-Islamic laws does not exist. Organ transplantation laws in MENA states generally follow an international legal standard while also complying with the sharia.
Indeterminacy of International Law?
The most important (in)determinacy theses in international law since the 1920s are scrutinised in this book. As Severin Meier demonstrates, the extent of legal determinacy depends neither on some linguistic essence found in the text nor on theories that allegedly stand above practice. Instead, the (in)determinacy of law is shown to arise purely from practice. This reconceptualisation of a key discussion in legal philosophy provides a new perspective on the frame of meaning of legal norms.
Expedited Procedures in International Commercial Arbitration
International arbitration has enjoyed remarkable success. However, in recent years repeated concerns relating to the efficiency of the proceedings have emerged. These concerns have led to the introduction of provisions for expedited arbitral procedures. Through analysing various arbitration rules, this book will examine the require-ments under which expedited procedures are admissible, what the central char-acteristics of such procedures are, and how such procedures can be classified and described in comparison to a conventional arbitral procedure. A significant part will examine the tension between procedural efficiency on the one hand and on quality of the procedure and award on the other. In an excursus, early determination procedures will be examined to complete the tool box to increase procedural efficiency.
Foreign Electoral Interference: Normative Implications in Light of International Law, Human Rights, and Democratic Theory
Foreign interference in elections may have attracted increased public attention since 2016, but it is a practice virtually as old as modern electoral democracy itself. This book offers the most comprehensive account of its normative implications yet. It discusses relevant standards of international law, human rights, and democratic theory, thereby casting a net wide enough to address the fundamental value of human dignity as well as the conditions of real political autonomy. Ultimately, the book identifies potential deficits of legality, accountability, and legitimacy ensuing from certain types of foreign electoral interference, and it provides ideas on what can and should be done in response.
