The Public Nature of Science under Assault
Science has development from a self-evident public good to being highly valued in other contexts for different reasons: strengthening the economic competitiveness and, especially in high-tech fields, as a financial investment for future gains. This has been accompanied by a shift from public to private funding with intellectual property rights gaining importance. But in contemporary democracies citizens have also begun to voice their concerns about science and technology related risks, demanding greater participation in decision-making and in the setting of research priorities. The book examines the legal issues and responses vis-à-vis these transformations of the nature of public science. It discusses their normative content as well as the inherent limitations of the law in meeting these challenges.
Forschung als Handlungs- und Kommunikationszusammenhang
Die Forschung als institutionalisierter Kommunikations- und Handlungszusammenhang, die rechtliche Verarbeitung wissenschaftlich-technischer Entwicklungen ebenso wie die Kontextualisierung des Rechts durch eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit unterschiedlichen disziplinaren Beschreibungen und Analysen des Realbereichs stehen im Mittelpunkt des wissenschaftlichen OEuvre von Hans-Heinrich Trute. Aus Anlass seines 70. Geburtstags reflektieren die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes die Themen und grossen Linien seines wissenschaftlichen Wirkens. Sie fragen nach den Veranderungen der Forschung und des Wissenschaftsrechts in den letzten Jahrzehnten sowie deren aktuellen Herausforderungen, nach den Wissensgrundlagen des Rechts und der Rechtswissenschaft sowie nach den Voraussetzungen und Folgen der digitalen Transformation.
Law and Knowledge - Remarks on a Debate in German Legal Science
The relationship between law and knowledge is a new topic in the field of legal science, and it is dealt with in particular in public law as sub-discipline of law. The topic is definitely not new with regard to other scientific domains. Thus law might be seen as a late comer. This article intends to outline some aspects of the current discussion to provide the essential groundwork on the topic, initially by explaining why the interrelation between law and knowledge might be important. This article does not cover aspects of knowledge as an object of law, which is often discussed under this headline but focusses on more basic aspects of the relationship between knowledge and law that may summa...
Lehre der Digitalisierung in der Rechtswissenschaft
Digitalisierung verändert die Rechtswelt; das macht auch Veränderungen der juristischen Ausbildung erforderlich. Der Band widmet sich zentralen Fragen dieses Wandels: Veränderungen des Rechts und seiner Professionen, erforderliche Kompetenzen sowie Lehrkonzepte und ihre curriculare Verankerung. Er enthält die Beiträge einer an der Universität Hamburg veranstalteten Tagung des Zentrums für rechtswissenschaftliche Fachdidaktik in Kooperation mit dem Zentrum für Recht in der digitalen Transformation. Die Autor:innen sind Expert:innen des Rechts und seiner Didaktik aus Wissenschaft und Praxis im In- und Ausland. Sie adressieren Grundlagenfragen ebenso wie Entwicklungen in den juristischen Berufsfeldern und konkrete Beispiele aus der Lehre.

Governance and Performance in the German Public Research Sector
2007b: 115 ff.; Jansen 2007c: 236 ff.). “Governance patterns” here means a chain of interconnected mechanisms which can be observed empirically. “Governance p- terns” can be roughly de?ned as “complex regulatory structures coordinating the actions of interdependent actors”. Governance patterns can relate to hierarchical as well as to lateral coordination mechanisms. Enforcement can be based on law, p- fessional norms or informal and implicit norms or customs. Moreover, the regulatory structures or individual mechanisms inside them can be established and sanctioned by public as well as by private actors. There is in fact not necessarily an actor in charge of controlling outcomes as for instance in market competition. In the next section, I will introduce the reader to the changing role of the state in science policy. The third section presents the governance model for the p- lic research sector which was developed by the research group and underlies the 1 contributions in this anthology. The ?nal section gives an overview of the papers.
The Global Administrative Law of Science
We live in a world of science. Yet this is impossible without a legally guaranteed freedom to practise it. Findings with regard to the elements of such freedom can be deduced from an analysis of international and domestic provisions and principles. There are a plethora of international institutions, legal rules and global norms for the purpose of the international governance of science. The institutions and rules are to be interpreted in light of this freedom to guarantee the continuous existence of the knowledge-based society by means of a global administrative law of science. These aspects were analysed in a research project funded by the German Research Foundation. The book’s purpose is to present the jurisprudential results. In addition, empirical results are collected in a freely available database. The study is composed of 5 parts: The Concept of Science/Global Administrative Law/Constitutional Basis: The Freedom of Science/Institutional Design/Governance Mechanisms.
Privacy and Technologies of Identity
Privacy and Technologies of Identity: A Cross-Disciplinary Conversation provides an overview of ways in which technological changes raise privacy concerns. It then addresses four major areas of technology: RFID and location tracking technology; biometric technology, data mining; and issues with anonymity and authentication of identity. Many of the chapters are written with the non-specialist in mind, seeking to educate a diverse audience on the "basics" of the technology and the law and to point out the promise and perils of each technology for privacy. The material in this book provides an interface between legal and policy approaches to privacy and technologies that either threaten or enha...
Governance of Automated Decision-Making and EU Law
Governance of Automated Decision-Making and EU Law presents a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of the intricate relationship between technological innovation and democratic governance in Europe. Focused on preserving constitutional values within the European Union, the book rigorously examines the profound impact of information technologies on rule-making and decision-making processes. The dual objectives of the volume are to comprehensively explore the impact of innovative information technologies on the EU's public law and to devise future-proof regulatory strategies in the face of rapid technological advancements. Addressing the spread of information technology and automated decision...
Competing Knowledges – Wissen im Widerstreit
Whatever societies accept as ‘knowledge’ is embedded in epistemological, institutional, political, and economic power relations. How is knowledge produced under such circumstances? What is the difference between general knowledge and the sciences? Can there be science without universal truth claims? Questions like these are discussed in eleven essays from the perspective of Sociology, Law, Cultural Studies, and the Humanities.
New Forms of Governance in Research Organizations
This book undertakes to develop a sector specific theory of governance of the public research sector and applies it to the German research system. The book is the outcome of a large interdisciplinary project. It analyzes the reforms in the German research system from an integrated perspective of law, economics and social sciences. The case of Germany is compared to reforms in other European countries such as Austria, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
