Hinter dem Schleier des Beratungsgeheimnisses
Originally presented as the author's thesis (habil.)--Univ. Passau, 2009.
The Max Planck Handbooks in European Public Law
The Max Planck Handbooks in European Public Law describe and analyse public law of the European legal space, an area that encompasses not only the law of the European Union but also the European Convention on Human Rights and, importantly, the domestic public laws of European states. Recognizing that the ongoing vertical and horizontal processes of European integration make legal comparison the task of our time for both scholars and practitioners, the series aims to foster the development of a specifically European legal pluralism and to contribute to the legitimacy and efficiency of European public law. The first volume of the series began this enterprise with an appraisal of the evolution ...
Mächtig oder machtlos?
Bei der vorliegenden Studie handelt es sich um die leicht gekürzte Fassung einer an der Philo sophischen Fakultät der Universität Passau eingereichten Dissertation. Das Prüfungsverfah ren wurde am 15. Dezember 1997 abgeschlossen. Die Konsequenzen eines erfolgreichen Promotionsverfahrens sind vieifliltig. Hingewiesen sei hier nur auf die juristischen Folgen, die der Erhalt des- in Deutschland meist nur virtuel len - Doktorhutes für den frisch Promovierten im Melde- oder im Besoldungsrecht hat bzw. 1 haben kann. Zugleich soll eine Dissertation aber auch neue Erkenntnisse zu Tage fOrdern und somit dem wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt dienen. So korrekt es ist, daß der Forscher für seine Studie verantwortlich zeichnet und sich somit alle ihre Schwächen, Ungenauigkeiten und Fehler zurechnen lassen muß, so zutreffend ist es gleichwohl, daß er allein oft nichts -oder deutlich weniger gutes - zustande brächte. So ist es auch mir Pflicht und Ehre, auf jene hin zuweisen, ohne deren Mithilfe die Arbeit der Kleinfraktionen im Deutschen Bundestag immer noch unerforscht wäre.
Hinter dem Schleier des Beratungsgeheimnisses
Als „ein deutsches Geheimnis“ bezeichnet Heinrich Wefing in seiner im Sommer 2009 in der Wochenzeitung „Die Zeit“ veröffentlichten Reportage das Bundesverfassungsgericht. Kein anderes Verfassungsorgan genieße vergleichbares Vertrauen, doch um so kurioser sei es, „dass fast nichts über dieses Gericht bekannt ist“ (Wefing 2009). Die vorliegende S- die, die im Sommer 2009 von der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Passau als Ha- litationsschrift angenommen wurde, soll einen Beitrag dazu leisten, die Vorgänge in Kar- ruhe transparenter zu machen und den ‘Schleier’ ein wenig zu lüften, der die Willensb- dungs- und Entscheidungsprozesse vor den Augen des Publikums verb...
In the King's Shadow
It is commonly assumed that the rise of modern democracies put an end to the spectacular and ceremonial aspects of political rule that were so characteristic of monarchies and other earlier regimes. The medieval idea that the king had two bodies - a mortal physical body and an eternal political body - strikes us today as alien and remote from our understanding of politics: with the transition from monarchy to modern representative democracy, the idea of the body politic was abandoned. Or was it? In this remarkable and highly original book Philip Manow shows that the body politic, though so often pronounced dead, remains alive in modern democracies. It is just one of the many ideas that we ha...
The Procedural and Organisational Law of the European Court of Justice
How should judges of the European Court of Justice be selected, who should participate in the Court's proceedings and how should judgments be drafted? These questions have remained blind spots in the normative literature on the Court. This book aims to address them. It describes a vast, yet incomplete transformation: Originally, the Court was based on a classic international law model of court organisation and decision-making. Gradually, the concern for the effectiveness of EU law led to the reinvention of its procedural and organisational design. The role of the judge was reconceived as that of a neutral expert, an inner circle of participants emerged and the Court became more hierarchical. While these developments have enabled the Court to make EU law uniquely effective, they have also created problems from a democratic perspective. The book argues that it is time to democratise the Court and shows ways to do this.
Out of the East
What happened to the ruling communist party of East Germany after the collapse of the Berlin Wall? The Left in Germany describes how the communist party's dissolution led to many of its core members founding a new party for a reuinified Germany. Over the last twenty years it has transformed many times, from the Socialist Unity Party to Party of Democratic Socialism to, finally, the successful Left party. Out of the East makes sense of these transitions, and reveals how a pariah party managed to survive and thrive in democracy.
Judges as Guardians of Constitutionalism and Human Rights
There are many challenges that national and supranational judges have to face when fulfilling their roles as guardians of constitutionalism and human rights. This book brings together academics and judges from different jurisdictions in an endeavour to uncover the intricacies of the judicial function. The contributors discuss several points that each represent contemporary challenges to judging: analysis of judicial balancing of conflicting considerations; the nature of courts’ legitimacy and its alleged dependence on public support; the role of judges in upholding constitutional values in the times of transition to democracy, surveillance and the fight against terrorism; and the role of international judges in guaranteeing globally recognized fundamental rights and freedoms. This book will be of interest to human rights scholars focusing on the issues of judicial oversight, as well as constitutional law scholars interested in comparative perspectives on the role of judges in different contexts. It will also be useful to national constitutional court judges, and law clerks aiming to familiarise themselves with judicial practices within other jurisdictions.
