In National Socialist Family Law, Mariken Lenaerts analyses the possible influence of National Socialism on marriage and divorce law in Germany and the Netherlands. As the family was regarded the germ-cell of the nation, the Nazis made many changes in German and Dutch marriage and divorce law to suit their purpose of a thousand-year Aryan Reich. By making extensive use of archival resources, Mariken Lenaerts gives an overview of the most important changes adopted in marriage and divorce law by the Nazis and proves that although daily marital life in both countries was highly influenced by National Socialism, marriage and divorce law did not become National Socialist.

Austria 1867-1955 connects the political history of German-speaking provinces of the Habsburg Empire before 1914 (Vienna and the Alpine Lands) with the history of the Austrian Republic that emerged in 1918. John W. Boyer presents the case of modern Austria as a fascinating example of democratic nation-building. The construction of an Austrian political nation began in 1867 under Habsburg Imperial auspices, with the German-speaking bourgeois Liberals defining the concept of a political people (Volk) and giving that Volk a constitution and a liberal legal and parliamentary order to protect their rights against the Crown. The decades that followed saw the administrative and judicial institution...
Recoge: 1. Human rights - 2. Anti-discrimination laws - 3. Achieving equality through law?
This casebook, the result of the collaborative efforts of a panel of experts from various EU Member States, is the latest in the Ius Commune Casebook series developed at the Universities of Maastricht and Leuven. The book provides a comprehensive and skilfully designed resource for students, practitioners, researchers, public officials, NGOs, consumer organisations and the judiciary. In common with earlier books in the series, this casebook presents cases and other materials (legislative materials, international and European materials, excerpts from books or articles). As non-discrimination law is a comparatively new subject, the chapters search for and develop the concepts of discrimination...
Marriage, Law and Modernity offers a global perspective on the modern history of marriage. Widespread recent debate has focused on the changing nature of families, characterized by both the rise of unmarried cohabitation and the legalization of same-sex marriage. However, historical understanding of these developments remains limited. How has marriage come to be the target of national legislation? Are recent policies on same-sex marriage part of a broader transformation? And, has marriage come to be similar across the globe despite claims about national, cultural and religious difference? This collection brings together scholars from across the world in order to offer a global perspective on the history of marriage. It unites legal, political and social history, and seeks to draw out commonalities and differences by exploring connections through empire, international law and international migration.
Im Fokus dieser Studie stehen der Alltag und die Sexualität während der deutschen Besatzung der Niederlande 1940–1945. Für die spätere Tradierung des Krieges spielte Sexualität keine Rolle. Mit ihren sexuellen Praktiken bestimmten Soldaten aber die ›Ordnung der Straße‹ ebenso mit, wie sie Besatzungspolitik gestalteten. Nicht gegen einen niederländischen Gegner kämpften sie, sondern für eine rassistische Weltordnung und die Verheißung des privaten Glücks. Am Beispiel Holland bietet die Autorin einen Einblick in die Politiken und Praktiken der Inklusion in die nationalsozialistische ›Volksgemeinschaft‹ und zeigt, welche Rolle Sexualität dabei spielte. Sie arbeitet heraus,...

In its detailed examination of how digital platforms that enable supplies of goods through their interfaces are treated for VAT purposes under EU law, the author elucidates such topics and issues as the following: The qualification...
