The "European Yearbook" promotes the scientific study of nineteen European supranational organisations and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Each volume contains a detailed survey of the history, structure and yearly activities of each organisation and an up-to-date chart providing a clear overview of the member states of each organisation. In addition, a number of articles on topics of general interest are included in each volume. A general index by subject and name, and a cumulative index of all the articles which have appeared in the "Yearbook," are included in every volume and provide direct access to the "Yearbook"'s subject matter. Each volume contains a comprehensive bibliography covering the year's relevant publications. This is an indispensable work of reference for anyone dealing with the European institutions.
Continuing the very successful first edition, this book reviews the most recent changes to the legal situation in Europe concerning genetically engineered food and labeling. Due to the extremely rapid developments in green biotechnology, all the chapters have been substantially revised and updated. Divided into three distinct parts, the text begins by covering applications and perspectives, including transgenic modification of production traits in farm animals, fermented food production and the production of food additives using filamentous fungi. The second section is devoted to legislation, while the final part examines methods of detection, such as DNA-based methods, and methods for detecting genetic engineering in composed and processed foods. From the reviews of the first edition: "This work promises to be a standard reference in the detection of genetically engineered food. I believe this work will find a valued place for any scientist, regulator or technical library that deals with biotechnology or detection of genetically engineered food organisms." —James J. Heinis, Journal of Agricultural & Food Information
Natural and man-made risks have long been recognised as vital conditioning factors in the formation of social institutions and the conduct of social life. In this volume internationally recognised experts examine in detail the implications in practice of the modern concept of risk in particular legal fields. The chapters explore the ways in which the law in its many branches can accommodate, manage and reduce the extent of risk in the modern "Risk Society", matters of pressing importance for the development of all branches of law in all jurisdictions. The fields of activity affected by the issues discussed include law, medicine, insurance, state security and public health. The collection als...
Recht lebt in und von der Sprache. Daher ist der juristische Diskurs elementar für die Entwicklung rechtlicher Ordnung, auch der Europarechtsordnung. Jan Kalbheim analysiert zunächst die Diskurssituation des Europäischen Gerichtshofs als eines gewichtigen Diskursteilnehmers innerhalb der offenen Gesellschaft der Europarechtsinterpreten sowohl in personeller, als auch in institutioneller Hinsicht. Sodann untersucht er, ausgehend vom Kampf um die Änderung der EuGH-Rechtsprechung, diesen Diskurs in sechs exemplarischen Fallstudien. Damit erschließt er einen neuen Zugang zum Verständnis der Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs und verdeutlicht die Aufgabe der anderen Diskursteilnehmer, insbesondere der nationalen Höchstgerichte und der Rechtswissenschaft, den europäischen juristischen Diskurs durch konstruktive Kritik dieser Rechtsprechung offen zu halten.
English summary: The European Union is seen as being a federal body, the specific characteristics of which are reflected in infringement proceedings as a means to legally review member states' compliance with treaties. A central role--besides the internal relationship between the union and member states--is played by each individual citizen affected by rulings. Emanuel C. Ionescu examines the concrete consequences of an infringement verdict under these premises. German description: Viele Versuche sind unternommen worden, um die Europaische Union zu beschreiben. Emanuel C. Ionescu will keine neue Beschreibung hinzufugen, sondern deutet die EU als foderale Ordnung und beleuchtet die rechtliche...
Die Reihe "Münchener Reden zur Europäischen Integration" widmet sich einzelnen Vorträgen und Tagungen, die sich mit den verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen der Europäischen Integration in den Mitgliedstaaten, den Strukturen des Unionsrechts und der Europäisierung des nationalen öffentlichen Rechts befassen. In dieser Reihe erscheinen auch die Dokumentationen der seit 2007 regelmäßig stattfindenden "Münchener Kolloquien zum Öffentlichen Wirtschaftsrecht", die ebenso wie eine Vortragsreihe von der Forschungsstelle für das Recht der Europäischen Integration an der Juristischen Fakultät der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München veranstaltet werden.
This is the first academic book on Dutch colonial aspirations and initiatives during WWII. Between the summers of 1941 and 1944, some 5,500 Dutch men and women left their occupied homeland to find employment in the so-called German Occupied Eastern Territories: Belarus, the Baltic countries and parts of Ukraine. This was the area designated for colonization by Germanic people. It was also the stage of the "Holocaust by Bullets," a centrally coordinated policy of exploitation and oppression and a ruthless anti-partisan war. This book seeks to answer why the Dutch decided to go there, how their recruitment, transfer and stay were organized, and how they reacted to this scene of genocidal violence. It is a close-up study of racial monomania, of empire-building on the old continent and of collaboration in Nazi-occupied Europe.
While the legal systems of the United Kingdom and Germany differ in essential respects, the current process of 'constitutionalisation' is well recognised on both sides of the Channel. 'Constitutionalisation' manifests itself in the evolution of a constitution and the influence of existing constitutional principles on the ordinary law. Human rights law provides one of the best examples of this process, and the aim of this book is to provide a comparative UK-German perspective on recent developments. First, it addresses human rights questions which arise in both jurisdictions in a similar way such as the tension between liberty and security, absolute rights such as human dignity and the prohib...
