Rethinking the Relationship Between International, EU and National Law
The interdisciplinary embedding and novel conceptual approach offered in the book to address the relationship between legal orders offers a significant and original contribution to the literature. The first part of the book provides a critical account of dominant approaches to explain this relationship where theories of Kelsenian monism, dualism, legal pluralism and constitutionalism are criticized. In the second part, Kirchmair engages with an innovative idea by applying insights from social contract theory to the relationship between international, EU and Member State law and establishes his theoretical approach: Consent-Based Monism. The book focuses on the most important structural characteristics of the external relations law of the EU as well as the primacy of EU law in lieu of national constitutional identity which is demonstrated in part three.
Annual of German and European Law
Complementing the highly successful online German Law Journal, this new publication aims to deepen and develop some of the issues discussed in the Journal as well as to take up new questions and directions of commentary. Focusing on pressing legal questions of socio-political relevance, it offers scholarly articles, reports, book reviews and selected statutes or court decisions in English translation in all fields of German and European Law. The main objective is to offer border-transcending and interdisciplinary research into fast moving areas of the law, often involving a complex array of institutional, political, and private actors.
Perspectives on Corporate Governance
The events that began with the collapse of Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and Adelphia and continued into the financial crisis of 2008 teach us an important lesson: corporate governance matters. Although it is widely acknowledged that good corporate governance is a linchpin of good corporate performance, how can one improve corporate governance and its impact on corporate and overall economic performance. This book offers a diverse and forward-looking set of approaches from experts, covering the major areas of corporate governance reform and analyzing the full range of issues and concerns. Written to be both theoretically rigorous and grounded in the real world, the book is well suited for practicing lawyers, managers, lawmakers, and analysts, as well as academics conducting research or teaching a wide range of courses in law schools, business schools, and economics departments.
Learning from Franz L. Neumann
A labor lawyer and publicist of weight in the Weimar Republic, Franz Neumann devoted his 21-year exile, after 1933, to understanding the failure of arrangements supposed to be in the line of social progress. He sought to delineate a new conception of democracy as a vehicle of social change. A remarkably effective teacher in the last years of his life, Neumann was also a gifted learner, whose negotiations with a series of forceful thinkers enabled him to work toward a promising intellectual strategy in political thinking. Learning from Franz L. Neumann examines Neumann’s social and political theory in the context of his career as a practitioner, learner and teacher

The Remnants of the Rechtsstaat
This book offers an intellectual history of Ernst Fraenkel's classic The Dual State (1941), recently republished by OUP, and one of the most erudite books on the theory of dictatorship ever written. It was the first comprehensive analysis of the nature and rise of Nazism, and the only such analysis written from within Hitler's Germany.
The Constitution of Algorithms
A laboratory study that investigates how algorithms come into existence. Algorithms--often associated with the terms big data, machine learning, or artificial intelligence--underlie the technologies we use every day, and disputes over the consequences, actual or potential, of new algorithms arise regularly. In this book, Florian Jaton offers a new way to study computerized methods, providing an account of where algorithms come from and how they are constituted, investigating the practical activities by which algorithms are progressively assembled rather than what they may suggest or require once they are assembled.
The Dual Penal State
In The Dual Penal State, Markus Dubber addresses the rampant use of penal power in Western liberal democracies. The interference with the autonomy of the very persons upon whose autonomy the legitimacy of state power is supposed to rest is systemically normalized, rather than continuously scrutinized. The fundamental challenge of the penal paradox-the prima facie illegitimacy of modern punishment-remains unaddressed and unresolved. Focusing on the United States and Germany, and drawing on his influential account of the patriarchal origins of police power, Dubber exposes the persistence of a two-sided criminal justice regime: the dual penal state. The dual penal state combines principled puni...
Künstliche Intelligenz und Gefährdungshaftung im öffentlichen Recht
KI ist eine hoch innovative, aber zugleich risikoreiche Technologie. Aufgrund ihrer Lernfähigkeit und Autonomie sind ihre Entscheidungen aus ex ante Sicht kaum vorhersehbar. Auch aus ex post Perspektive bleibt ein Transparenzdefizit bestehen. Aufgrund der mit dem Einsatz von KI-Systemen verbundenen spezifischen Risiken stellt sich die Frage, ob und inwieweit der Staat gegenüber dem Bürger KI einsetzen darf. Dabei hängt das »Ob« des hoheitlichen KI-Einsatzes entscheidend von der Reichweite der Haftung des Staates auf Sekundärebene ab. Das überkommene Staatshaftungsrecht bietet hierfür de lege lata keinen ausreichenden Sekundärrechtsschutz. Der hoheitliche KI-Einsatz wäre ohne die I...
La dignità umana dopo la "Carta di Nizza". Un'analisi concettuale
Nel pieno del dibattito politico-giuridico sullo statuto dell'Unione Europea, sul tipo di entità che vuole essere e sul tipo di valori su cui intende fondarsi, diviene attuale il rilancio dello studio della Carta di Nizza, la Carta dei Diritti fondamentali dell'Unione Europea, proclamata a Nizza nel 2001 ed entrata in vigore con il Trattato di Lisbona nel 2009. In particolare diviene fondamentale lo studio del primo valore su cui la Carta dei Diritti Fondamentali, parte integrante della Costituzione europea, si fonda, il valore della dignità umana. Il libro svolge un'analisi concettuale di questo principio-valore, con la lucidità e il rigore che una disamina a distanza (un'analisi dopo la...
