English summary: Are associations allowed to transfer their head office to another EU Member State and to participate in cross-border mergers, splits and conversions? Max Wesiack explores these questions in the light of the freedom of establishment and the general right to freedom of movement. He arrives at the conclusion that associations are to a large extent entitled to do so as well. German description: Nach traditioneller Auffassung sind grenzuberschreitende Sitzverlegungen und Umwandlungen von Vereinen weitgehend unzulassig. Im Anschluss an die EuGH-Rechtsprechung zur Niederlassungsfreiheit von Gesellschaften hat sich diese Rechtslage innerhalb der EU jedoch weitgehend umgekehrt. Denn ...
Exclusive jurisdiction rules related to intellectual property rights cases are insufficiently supported by the arguments usually invoked in their favor. Benedetta Ubertazzi argues that such rules are even contrary to the public international law provisions on the avoidance of a denial of justice and should therefore be abandoned.--
Buku ini berfokus dalam hukum kontrak, khususnya hukum kontrak jual-beli barang internasional, serta mengkaji kelayakan United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) (UNCITRAL – 1980) untuk digunakan dalam pengembangan hukum jual-beli barang di Indonesia.

The study of semiotics underwent a gradual but radical paradigm shift during the past century, from a glottocentric (language-centered) enterprise to one that encompasses the whole terrestrial biosphere. In this collection of 17 essays, Thomas A. Sebeok, one of the seminal thinkers in the field, shows how this progression took place. His wide-ranging discussion of the evolution of the field covers many facets, including discussions of biosemiotics, semiotics as a bridge between the humanities and natural sciences, semiosis, nonverbal communication, cat and horse behavior, the semiotic self, and women in semiotics. This thorough account will appeal to seasoned scholars and neophytes alike.
The European Society of International Law (ESIL) is known for its particularly dynamic character. After 10 years of existence it has proved that it is one of the most cutting-edge scholarly associations in the field of public international law. At its 10th Anniversary Conference in September 2014, which was held in Vienna, participants assembled in order to discuss 'International law and...', the proceedings of which are published here. Going beyond the usual related disciplines of political science, international relations, economics and history, this conference ventured into less well-trodden paths, exploring the links between international law and cinema, philosophy, sports, the arts and other areas of human endeavour. As the proceedings show, it is clear that international law has long been influenced by other fields of law and other disciplines. They also explore whether the boundaries of international law have been crossed and, if so, in what ways.
In the second half of the 20th century, the body has become a central theme of intellectual debate. How should we perceive the human body? Is it best understood biologically, experientially, culturally? How do social institutions exercise power over the body and determine norms of health and behavior? The answers arrived at by phenomenologists, social theorists, and feminists have radically challenged our cenventional notions of the body dating back to 17th century Cartesian thought. This is the first volume to systematically explore the range of contemporary thought concerning the body and draw out its crucial implications for medicine. Its authors suggest that many of the problems often found in modern medicine -- dehumanized treatment, overspecialization, neglect of the mind's healing resources -- are directly traceable to medicine's outmoded concepts of the body. New and exciting alternatives are proposed by some of the foremost physicians and philosophers working in the medical humanities today.

English summary: The international jurisdiction for group insolvencies in Europe has occupied the courts for more than ten years. Ulrich M. Wolf examines the debtor's centre of main interests as the relevant factor and recommends a practical approach that facilitates a uniform venue for groups of companies. German description: International zustandig fur die Eroffnung des Insolvenzverfahrens sind die Gerichte des Mitgliedstaates der Europaischen Union, in dem der Schuldner den Mittelpunkt seiner hauptsachlichen Interessen hat. Bei Gesellschaften und juristischen Personen wird bis zum Beweis des Gegenteils vermutet, dass dieser Ort an ihrem satzungsmassigen Sitz liegt. Auch zehn Jahre nach de...
Die Kommissionsvorschlage zum Internationalen Eheguterrecht und zum Internationalen Guterrecht fur eingetragene Partnerschaften sollen einen klaren Rechtsrahmen fur grenzuberschreitende vermogensrechtliche Wirkungen einer Ehe bzw. eingetragenen Partnerschaft schaffen. Katja Dengel analysiert die vorgeschlagenen Texte auf der Basis eines Vergleichs aller mitgliedstaatlichen Sach- und Kollisionsrechte. Schwerpunkte sind der Anwendungsbereich, die objektiven und subjektiven Anknupfungsmomente sowie ausgewahlte Fragen des Allgemeinen Teils. Der Vorschlag zur Vereinheitlichung des Internationalen Guterrechts fur eingetragene Partnerschaften wird daruber hinaus unter dem Gesichtspunkt einer moglichen Diskriminierung gleichgeschlechtlicher Paare beleuchtet. Die Arbeit mundet in konkrete Verbesserungsvorschlage.
