Im ›Zeitalter der Briefe‹ spielte das Korrespondieren eine bedeutungsvolle Rolle, um Liebesbeziehungen anzubahnen, zu vertiefen und eine gemeinsame Zukunft zu gestalten.

"A profound, insightful, extensively researched, sensitive and much needed essay which provides a precious roadmap for traveling together towards a better world" – Mathieu Ricard What would a wisdom-based or “spiritual” approach to politics look like? How can we tap into science to support our collective conscious evolution?

Its unique legal-centric approach sees the consolidation of judicial authority as a universal trend and its broad international appeal makes it essential reading for researchers, practitioners and students alike.
The papers contained in this book reflect the ideas presented at the colloquium held on the same subject. The event, sponsored by the Nordmann Foundation, was organized to the memory of the late Jean Nordmann by Prof. Claude Klein, Jerusalem, and Prof. Thomas Fleiner, Institute of Federalism, University of Fribourg. Jean Nordmann and his family have always supported the good relations between the University of Fribourg and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The Nordmann Foundation was later created to develop further the cooperation between the two universities, thus contributing substantially to the understanding of the Jewish and Christian communities, notably in Switzerland.
An exploration of the distribution of powers and responsibilities in 11 federal systems.
International courts use two key methodologies to determine the degree of deference granted to states in their implementation of international obligations: the standard of review and margin of appreciation. This book investigates how these doctrines are applied in international courts, analysing where their approaches converge and diverge.
