Modernisation, National Identity and Legal Instrumentalism (Vol. I: Private Law)
The driving force of the dynamic development of world legal history in the past few centuries, with the dominance of the West, was clearly the demands of modernisation – transforming existing reality into what is seen as modern. The need for modernisation, determining the development of modern law, however, clashed with the need to preserve cultural identity rooted in national traditions. With selected examples of different legal institutions, countries and periods, the authors of the essays in the two volumes Modernisation, National Identity and Legal Instrumentalism: Studies in Comparative Legal History, vol. I:Private Law and Modernisation, National Identity and Legal Instrumentalism: Studies in Comparative Legal History, vol. II: Public Law seek to explain the nature of this problem. Contributors are Michał Gałędek, Katrin Kiirend-Pruuli, Anna Klimaszewska, Łukasz Jan Korporowicz, Beata J. Kowalczyk, Marju Luts-Sootak, Marcin Michalak, Annamaria Monti, Zsuzsanna Peres, Sara Pilloni, Hesi Siimets-Gross, Sean Thomas, Bart Wauters, Steven Wilf, and Mingzhe Zhu.
The Company in Law and Practice: Did Size Matter? (Middle Ages-Nineteenth Century)
This volume brings together nine chapters by specialist legal historians that address the topic of the scale and size of companies, in both legal and economic history. The bundled texts cover different periods, from the Middle Ages, the Early Modern Period, to the nineteenth century.

These features include limited liability and legal personality. A detailed overview is offered of how legal concepts and mercantile practice interacted, leading up to the corporate characteristics that are so important today. Contributors are: Anja Amend-Traut, Luisa Brunori, Dave De ruysscher, Stefania Gialdroni, Ulla Kypta, Bart Lambert, Annamaria Monti, Carlos Petit, and Bram Van Hofstraeten.

Die rechtsgeschäftliche Sukzession
English summary: Against the backdrop of continuing efforts to achieve greater European harmonization, Jan Lieder identifies and critically assesses the basic structural and evaluation principles of the legal succession - as exemplified by the assignment of receivables, debt and contract acquisition and the transfer of ownership for movable and immovable property - in German civil law and civil procedural law as well as in international and European private law. German description: Vor dem Hintergrund der anhaltenden Harmonisierungsbestrebungen auf europaischer Ebene unternimmt es Jan Lieder, die grundlegenden Struktur- und Wertungsprinzipien der rechtsgeschaftlichen Sukzession - exemplifizi...
The Development of Commercial Law in Sweden and Finland (Early Modern Period–Nineteenth Century)
The Development of Commercial Law in Sweden and Finland provides a broad perspective on recent research into the history of North European commercial law in a comparative and international framework. The book brings together themes that have previously been considered largely from a national perspective. Despite Sweden's and Finland's peripheral locations in Europe, global legal phenomena took place there as well. These countries were at the crossroads of cultures and commercial interests, allowing us to re-examine them as lively laboratories for commercial laws and practices rather than dismissing them as a negligible periphery. The importance of trade and international transactions cannot be disclaimed, but the book also emphasizes the resilient nature of commercial law. Contributors are: Dave De ruysscher, Stefania Gialdroni, Ulla Ijäs, Marko Lamberg, Heikki Pihlajamäki, Jussi Sallila, and Katja Tikka.

Die Rosenburg
The question of how German government agencies and ministries had been dealing with the Nazi-Past in the immediate aftermath of the war, has most recently attracted a high amount of attention. This development was stimulated by the study "Das Amt", published in 2010, discussing the Nazi-Past of the German Foreign Office. Continuity and changes in terms of institutions and personnel have been put into the focus of the discussion as well as substantive aspects of the policy of the first post-war governments in Germany. Several federal ministries and agencies have established commissions, in order to research their own history through independent scholars. Also the Federal Ministry of Justice h...
Mietmutterschaft
English summary: Hiring out wombs to bear children for childless couples is banned in most of the world, Germany included. But when German would-be parents rent a mother from abroad, how should such a case be dealt with? Chris Thomale offers a solution to this complex and growing legal problem. German description: Die rechtliche Behandlung der Leihmutterschaft beschaftigt in wachsendem Masse Gerichte und Normsetzer auf allen Ebenen. Dabei beruhren sich familienrechtliche mit international-privatrechtlichen, kollisionsrechtliche mit prozessrechtlichen sowie einfachrechtliche mit grundrechtlichen und unionsrechtlichen Anwendungsproblemen. Dieser Oberflache der rechtspositiven Debatte liegen jedoch rechtsethische, rechtstheoretische und vor allem rechtspolitische Fragestellungen zugrunde, die sich erst aus der Regulierungsperspektive eines ausseren Betrachters und hypothetischen Rechtsetzers beurteilen lassen. Chris Thomale bemuht sich darum, beide Herangehensweisen zusammenzufuhren, um die internationale Leihmutterschaft einer umfassenden Fundamentalkritik zu unterziehen.
