A comparative approach to judicial communication offering perspectives on the relationship between national supreme courts and the media covering them.
The Europeanization of Control
In decisions about migration, asylum, justice, and order, the transfer of sovereignty from the Member States to the European Union has been one of the most surprising task expansions in the European project. This book sheds light on these extraordinarily dynamic institutional developments and the resulting policy outcomes. Comprising both conceptual and empirical contributions, the book asks whether established theoretical schools of thought still hold true or whether the institutional conditions induced by the Lisbon Treaty have led to new modes of interaction and given weight to rival explanations.

Material Culture in Modern Diplomacy from the 15th to the 20th Century
The present volume aims at outlining a new field of research with regard to the history of diplomacy: the material culture of diplomatic interaction in early modern and modern times. The material culture of diplomacy includes all practices in foreign policy communication in which single artifacts, samples of artifacts, or else the whole material setting of diplomatic interaction is supposed to be constitutive for creating an intended effect in terms of diplomatic objectives. The chapters of this volume focus on intercultural diplomacy in different regions of the world wherein diplomatic actors of various kinds might have been confronted by a whole universe of unfamiliar artifacts and artifac...
Extending Rights' Reach
Constitutional rights protect individuals "vertically" against government overreach, but may also regulate legal relations "horizontally" among private parties in most legal systems. In every constitutional system with judicially enforceable constitutional rights, courts must make choices about whether, when, and how to give those rights horizontal effect. This book is about those choices and their consequences. It offers three case studies, of Germany, the United States, and Canada, showing how the choices courts make about horizontal rights reflect existing normative and political realities and, over time, help to shape new ones.
Privacy and Power

Routledge Handbook of European Politics
Since the Treaty of the European Union was ratified in 1993, the European Union has become an important factor in an ever-increasing number of regimes of pooled sovereignty. This Handbook seeks to present a valuable guide to this new and unique system in the twenty-first century, allowing readers to obtain a better understanding of the emerging multilevel European governance system that links national polities to Europe and the global community. Adopting a pan-European approach, this Handbook brings together the work of leading international academics to cover a wide range of topics such as: the historical and theoretical background the political systems and institutions of both the EU and its individual member nations political parties and party systems political elites civil society and social movements in European politics the political economy of Europe public administration and policy-making external policies of the EU. This is an invaluable and comprehensive resource for students, scholars, researchers and practitioners of the European Union, European politics and comparative politics.
Deutschland und die westlichen Demokratien
Der Band ist ein Klassiker der neueren Staatstheorie und der Politischen Wissenschaft. Er enthält die grundlegende Formulierung der Theorie des gesellschaftlichen und des politischen Pluralismus. Es ist einer der zentralen Beiträge für die Konkretisierung des Demokratiegebotes des Grundgesetzes. Die Bedeutung des Fraenkelschen Pluralismuskonzeptes beruht darauf, dass es die tatsächlich vorhandenen unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Interessen als Teil des politischen Prozesses anerkennt. Das Pluralismusmodell schützt die Entfaltung von Minderheiten und Alternativen. Es sichert die öffentliche Auseinandersetzung zwischen unterschiedlichen Interessen und fördert eine Fortentwicklung des politischen und gesellschaftlichen Systems, die an den Bedürfnissen der Betroffenen orientiert ist. Fraenkels Pluralismuskonzept ist einer der zentralen Beiträge für die Konkretisierung des Demokratiegebotes des Grundgesetzes.
Law in West German Democracy
Law in West German Democracy relates the history of the Federal Republic of Germany as seen through a series of significant trials conducted between 1947 and 2017, explaining how these trials came to take place, the legal issues which they raised, and their importance to the development of democracy in a country slowly emerging from a murderous and criminal régime. It thus illustrates the central issues of the new republic. If, as a Minister for Justice once remarked, crime can be seen as ‘the reverse image of any political system, the shadow cast by the social and economic structures of the day’, it is natural to use court cases to illuminate the eventful history of the Federal Republic’s first seventy years.
