A Sociological Theory of Law
Niklas Luhmann is recognised as a major social theorist, and his treatise on the sociology of law is a classic text. For Luhmann, law provides the framework of the state, lawyers are the main human resource for the state, and legal theory provides the most suitable base from which to theorize on the nature of society. He explores the concept of law in the light of a general theory of social systems, showing the important part law plays in resolving fundamental problems a society may face. He then goes on to discuss in detail how modern 'positive' – as opposed to ‘natural’ – law comes to fulfil this function. The work as a whole is not only a contribution to legal sociology, but a major work in social theory. With a revised translation, and a new introduction by Martin Albrow.

Staat, Politik, Verwaltung in Europa
Als der Tübinger Staatsrechtslehrer Roman Schnur im August 1996 starb, bedeutete dies den Verlust eines Wissenschaftlers, der in Werk und Wirken ungewöhnliche Wege beschritten hatte.

Limitations of religious freedom by privileged state religions (ecclesiae) - particularly in authoritarian states but also in democracies
The volume deals with the topic of Religious Freedom in Europe and North America, although not exclusively.The contributions argue that a clear separation of State and Church prevents privileged religions, as well as evangelical movements supported by state interests, from becoming power-political factors that seek to mould a society according to their own values and to their benefit. All too often, politicians are happy to accept ideological support on behalf of a religious community or a religious grouping, and then seek to further the interests and to promote these groups. Even though the two countries demonstrate differences such constellations may be identified in both the USA and in Russia.
