This publication gives an overview of all key aspects of German labour and employment law as well as adjoining fields. Legal professionals with expert knowledge and many years of experience explain the legal basis of these aspects of German law, point out typical practical problems and suggest solutions to those problems. In addition, examples are given on how to best manage legal pitfalls to minimize risks. This book translates employment and labour law for foreign in-house counsels and human resources managers at international companies and provides a clear understanding of the complex legal regulations in Germany. All three editors of the book, Dr. Jens Kirchner, Pascal R. Kremp and Michael Magotsch, are key legal professionals working at the Frankfurt office of DLA Piper, one of the largest legal services providers in the world (www.dlapiper.com), with national and multinational clients. Their experience includes the management of cross-border restructurings, outsourcing and transfer of undertaking measures, as well as the management of national and multi-jurisdictional merger and acquisitions projects, including post-merger integration processes.
The transfer of personal data to the UK raises a multitude of data protection law issues and opens up the view of the key challenges of global data exchange. The study contains an overall view of the regulations on third country transfers under the GDPR and the current state of regulation in the UK. It provides an assessment as to whether and to what extent the UK provides an adequate level of protection within the meaning of the GDPR for personal data transferred from the EU and whether the EU Commission's adequacy decision under the GDPR is compliant with the CJEU’s relevant case law. The examination of the UK’s data protection law as well as the regulations of the Investigatory Power Act and the extensive onward transfer practice to the USA form a main focus of the study. The alternative data transfer mechanisms and bases (Articles 46, 47 and 49 GDPR) are (also) examined with regard to their practicability for companies. The study also looks at relevant emerging developments and the wider context of the third country regimes of the EU’s data protection regime.
This book documents and explains the differences in the ways Americans and Europeans approach the issues of privacy and intelligence gathering.
This book brings together contributions from leading scholars in law and technology, analysing the privacy issues raised by new data-driven technologies. Highlighting the challenges that technology poses to existing European Union (EU) data protection laws, the book assesses whether current legal frameworks are fit for purpose, while maintaining a balance between supporting innovation and the protection of individual’s privacy. Data privacy issues range from targeted advertising and facial recognition, systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, to technologies that enable the detection of emotions and personal care robots. The book will be of interest to scholars, policymakers and practitioners working in the fields of law and technology, EU law and data protection.

This book deals with the question of whether religious worldviews fulfil an explanatory function in the lives of believers. After rebutting some common objections to this claim, the author proposes to understand the explanatory nature of religious belief along the lines of inference to the best explanation. This proposal is qualified in view of the peculiar nature of religious belief: It is stressed that the type of explanation concerned occurs within the bounds of religion alone, and loses its sense apart from the religious form of life. In unfolding his argument, the author draws heavily on ideas of explanation developed in the philosophy of science, pointing to differences and comparisons between religious and scientific explanations. The author concludes by considering some specific things that theism explains.

Die Umsetzung der Europäischen Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) und des BDSG (2018) stellt eine große Herausforderung für Unternehmen dar. Organisation, Dokumente und Prozesse müssen umfassend an die neuen rechtlichen Vorgaben angepasst werden. Dabei zeichnet sich die DSGVO einerseits durch umfassende Regelungen, andererseits aber auch durch sehr abstrakte Vorgaben aus. Die Datenschutzbehörden äußern sich nur sporadisch und dann im Regelfall mit strengen Positionen. Es bleibt also den Unternehmen selbst überlassen, pragmatische und praxistaugliche Lösungen zur Umsetzung der DSGVO-Vorgaben zu entwickeln. Vor diesem Hintergrund richtet sich das Handbuch an alle Datenschutzpraktiker...
