The book provides a comprehensive legal assessment of four different types of safe pathways to protection in the EU: the asylum visa, resettlement, ad hoc humanitarian admission and sponsorship programs. It investigates the effects these pathways can have on the asylum paradox, that is the paradoxical interplay in current EU asylum policy between the granting of territorial protection on the one hand and the prevention of access to territory on the other.Based on the assumption, that the asylum paradox is the result of a conflict of responsibility principles, the book develops an analytical tool, a responsibility framework, for the analysis and assessment. Overall, the book identifies normative differences, depending on the specific pathway and its details of implementation.

Das öffentliche Recht und seine Wissenschaft interagieren auf vielfältige Weise mit anderen Rechtsbereichen - seien es Normen anderen Ursprungs oder solche, die innerstaatlich typischerweise anderen Bereichen zugeordnet werden - sowie Erkenntnissen anderer Disziplinen. Erst der Blick auf diese Interaktionen ermöglicht es, das öffentliche Recht und seine Wissenschaft in einem größeren Kontext zu sehen. Die Beiträge des Tagungsbandes analysieren Recht auf allen Ebenen, nutzen interdisziplinäre oder rechtsvergleichende Methoden und untersuchen die Interaktionen des Öffentlichen Rechts eingebettet in konkrete Fragestellungen um Demokratie, Lebensgrundlagen, Klimagerechtigkeit und feministische Rechtswissenschaft.Mit Beiträgen vonAnna Berry | Valentina Chiofalo | Dr. Talya Deibel | Jan Dönges | Steliyana Doseva | Dr. Emma M.

Historically and to the present day, social work has been closely intertwined with social movements, both as allies and in opposition to them. This engagement finds its expression in conventions (human rights), cooperation (world conferences) and coalitions (NGOs).This textbook offers an insight into the connections between social movements and social work from an international perspective, teaching their historical and theoretical foundations and illustrating them in a practical way with case studies from around the world. It aims to bring the perspectives of a 'global social work profession and discipline', and thus the international and political dimensions of social work, back to the forefront of the discipline.

In conclusion, the world of M&A in the healthcare industry is a complex and ever-evolving landscape, where the intersection of business strategy and patient care holds profound implications for stakeholders across all levels. The journey the authors have embarked upon in this book has been one of exploration, analysis, and reflection, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges and opportunities inherent in this dynamic sector.

The new Data Act is not only the centrepiece of the new EU data regulation, but probably also the most complex piece within the mosaic created by the EU Data Strategy. The regulation establishes b2b and b2c data access rights, stipulates rules for 'fair' data contracts, and tackles b2g data access in exceptional circumstances. The new rules are especially directed at IoT devices, smart contracts, and cloud services. The work offers an introduction to the new rules. Genealogy, structure, and practical consequences of the new Act are laid down - nonetheless with regard to the existing legal framework (e. g. data protection law). The authors' research is dedicated to European and International Information and Data Law.Dr. Gordian Konstantin Ebner | Prof. Dr. Moritz Hennemann, M.Jur.

While the surge of populism in the West has attracted considerable public attention, countries often considered to be on Europe's 'periphery' have largely escaped both scholarly and general interest. Political developments in Armenia, Albania, Bosnia, Georgia, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia are poorly understood politically and often opaque to non-specialists. Yet the societies, economies, politics and the aspirations of the people in these countries remain closely intertwined with the rest of Europe and its development. From the perspectives of scholars from the region, this book offers an informed assessment of the role, causes and political consequences of populism in areas that are important but often ignored parts of the European political landscape.With contributions byAshot Aleksanyan | Nane Aleksanyan | Aneta Cekikj | Simon Clarke | Ruben Elamiryan | Reinhard Heinisch | Despot Kovacevic | Klaudia Koxha | David Matsaberidze | SlaviSa Orlovic | Maja Savic-Bojanic | Avdi Smajljaj | Daniel Smilov | Ruzha Smilova | Nemanja Stankov

The work deals with Digital Commons. These are a case of the new organizational forms developed in the realm of digital economy and fall under the notion of "Network Enterprise", substituting the classical hierarchical forms of firms with horizontal cooperation between independent agents.They are hybrid forms of organization, which reject both markets and hierarchies, as the two mainstream organizational modes of conventional economics. They are based on individual autonomy combined with egalitarian cooperative mechanisms, trying to reap the best of the organizational structure of firms without sacrificing individual autonomy.

From the 1972 Stockholm Declaration to the European Union's Green Deal, the principles of international environmental law have successfully permeated the multilateral discourse. They are also woven into a large patchwork of international treaties, binding the international community and requiring their implementation at the domestic level. This materials collection provides an edited compilation of international and European environmental law documents. Alongside the fundamentals as well as the procedural and liability frameworks, it includes a selection of the most relevant sectoral treaties relating to air, ozone, climate, freshwater, oceans, biodiversity, and hazardous substances.

Indem die Rechtswissenschaft das Recht vorandenkt, kann sie am zivilisatorischen Fortschritt mit und durch Recht mitwirken. Dieser Sammelband reflektiert über diese These, die für Prof. Dr. h.c. Heike Jung eine Art Bekenntnischarakter hat, und wirft hierzu Schlaglichter auf herausgehobene Bereiche, in denen sich eine gewichtige Rolle der Rechtswissenschaft bei der Weiterentwicklung des Rechts aufdrängt: Die "tour d'horizon" reicht dabei vom Völkerstrafrecht über die die Rechtswissenschaft als Akteur der Rechtsentwicklung im Bereich der Digitalisierung bis hin zur Rolle der Strafrechtswissenschaft bei der Begrenzung und Bewältigung des menschengemachten Klimawandels.Mit Beiträgen vonProf. Dr. Joxerramon Bengoetxea | Prof. Dr. Michael Bohlander | Prof. Dr. Dominik Brodowski, LL.M.

Die Herausforderungen für das Regieren in Europa und insb. in der EU und in ihren Mitgliedstaaten werden nicht geringer; im Gegenteil, Entwicklungen wie die Finanz- bzw. Schuldenkrise, der Austritt Großbritanniens aus der EU, die COVID-19-Pandemie, starke anti-europäische Tendenzen in einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten oder der Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine waren 2003, dem Jahr der Veröffentlichung der ersten Festschrift für Professor Rudolf Hrbek, kaum denk- und vorstellbar. Die Autorinnen und Autoren nehmen sehr unterschiedliche Perspektiven ein, wenn sie der Frage nachgehen, wie die Europäische Union mit den jüngsten Herausforderungen umgeht und welche Lehren sie daraus zieht.

The reference work contains definitions of concepts of international security and peace. It is oriented towards the current state of research, which distinguishes it from the usual keyword collections in traditional and electronic dictionaries. With some 800 terms and over 1000 definitions and associated explanations, readers are provided with a tool to make scientific working definitions easily accessible. On the other hand, the dictionary is intended to give practitioners the possibility to quickly access scientific terms. Helpful for scientific research and practitioners alike are the approximately 5000 cross-references to other terms as well as the comprehensive literature references. This book is aimed primarily at teachers and students of political science as well as researchers and practitioners in politics, administration and journalism.

The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine represents a Zeitenwende - a turning point - in German foreign and security policy, which requires a complete redefinition of Germany's role within the future European security order. Through contributions by renowned experts, this anthology provides information on the causes, developments and foreseeable consequences of the Russian war of aggression. This open access book will appeal to scholars, decision-makers, students, and anyone interested in international politics, conflict studies, and military-strategic dimensions of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

TTIP is not "dead". The author demonstrates why many of the TTIP negotiating content is more relevant today than ever before in connection with the ongoing EU-US trade negotiations that have been picking up new speed. From the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) to the Trump administration's trade war, this book examines the transatlantic trade relationship between the European Union and the United States and the political implications on both sides of the Atlantic. This book also provides policy recommendations for both sides on how to move forward based on the analysis. An outlook for trade in the 21st century is provided drawing on trade history between the two entities over the years up until the current 2023 trends.

The 2008 financial crisis brought the far-reaching influence of credit ratings on capital markets into focus and confirmed doubts about the quality of ratings published by rat-ing agencies. In the context of regulatory efforts to limit the influence of ratings, Marius Müller addresses the question to what extent investment funds are obliged to sell bonds that no longer comply with investment guidelines following a rating downgrade. Results of a statistical analysis of 200 European and U.S. fund prospectuses are evaluated in the light of regulatory objectives. Subsequently, a structural proposal for the formulation of investment guidelines is developed, accounting for the protection of investor interests and market functioning.

This textbook provides a systematic, comprehensive and historically embedded introduction to the formation, functioning and development conditions of today's non-democratic regimes. It disseminates the results of international autocracy research, familiarises readers with its concepts and methods, provides information about the most important types of autocracy and illuminates the conditions for their stability. System transformations are also examined from the perspective of autocratic regimes. The book integrates approaches, findings and perspectives from different research traditions and aims to encourage an interdisciplinary view.The author works at the Hannah Arendt Institute for Totalitarianism Studies at the University of Dresden.

Until a few years ago, nothing seemed impossible in terms of the further development of European Private Law. Important projects such as the Common Frame of Reference and a Common European Sales Law were discussed, even a European Civil Code seemed to be within reach.With the failure of these ideas, however, the great visions for European Private Law have become silent, which does not take away from the fact that it is nevertheless developing steadily, only in a more small-scale and fragmentary manner than originally envisioned. This book aims on the one hand to show the state of development of European Private Law in all its facets, and on the other hand to answer the question of what the acquis communautaire of the future should look like.With contributions byEsther Arroyo Amayuelas | Wojciech Banczyk | Christian von Bar | Luigi Buonanno | Michel Cannarsa | Olha O.

An effective protection of minors, whose migration status is not regulated, but whose numbers keep increasing, is an issue in all regions of the globe. Accordingly, one the main areas of reflection in the present volume are legal obligations applicable to children lacking proper documentation, citizenship or registration and thus being in an ¿irregular' situation. Specifically, this problem is examined from general human rights law perspective, Convention of the Rights of the Child, regional responses with special attention to African best practices and implementation of international standards on the national level.With contributions byFaith Kabata, Martyna Laszewska-Hellriegel, Amina Maneggia, Joanna Markiewicz-Stanny, Jacek Mazurkiewicz, Tomasz Milej, Allan Mukuki, Patricia Ouma, Magdalena Póltorak, Caterina Rohde-Abuba, Piotr Szymaniec, Ratemo Tom Junior, Alessia Valongo, Emmah Wabuke and Agnieszka Wedel-Domaradzka.

The author takes the reader on a swift and sweeping ride through different aspects of defence. What is the core of defence in general? And what is defence today for the most prominent of all defensive alliances, for NATO, which is in the midst of a reflection process on what its role in the future should be?The notoriously vague and shadowy term "defence" is illuminated from different angles, culminating in the newly introduced model of "strategical analysis". The historical perspective comprises examples varying from China's Great Wall to the Israeli-Arab Six Days War and NATO's history with a specific focus on its understanding of defence from its foundation, through all three ages of its existence and into today's still and again changing world. More insights are drawn from the application of the prevalent judicial, political and military strategic approaches and terms.From this kaleidoscopic view, the author draws practical conclusions and formulates clear and pointed recommendations for the persistent and particularly in NATO very current discussion about how the understanding of defence should - or should not - evolve.

Der intensiv diskutierte Begriff Transformation bezeichnet den umfassenden Umbau gesellschaftlicher Strukturen, um gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen durch tiefgreifende Veränderungen der Energie-, Verkehrs-, Produktions- und Agrarsysteme zu adressieren. Da solch komplexe Transformationen stets mit Unsicherheiten über Effekte und Folgen einhergehen, setzen sich die Beiträge kritisch mit den Chancen und Risiken dieser Prozesse auseinander und diskutieren Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Technikfolgenabschätzung im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Transformationsprozesse. Der Band versammelt die wissenschaftlichen Beiträge der 8. internationalen Konferenz des Netzwerks Technikfolgenabschätzung, die vom 7. bis 8. November 2018 in Karlsruhe stattfand.Mit Beiträgen vonFabian Adelt, Marius Albiez, Annika Arnold, Walaa Bashary, Anja Bauer, Richard Beecroft, Alexander Bogner, Stefan Böschen, Tanja Bratan, Simone Colombo, Michael Decker, Rico Defila, Antonietta Di Giulio, Marion Dreyer, Elisabeth Ehrensperger, Philipp Ellett, Lorenz Erdmann, Ali Abdelshafy Ezzat, Erik Fisher, Michael Friedewald, Livia Fritz, Daniela Fuchs, Maryegli Fuss, Armin Grunwald, Niklas Gudowsky, Kristin Hagen, Simeon Hassemer, Alexandra Hausstein, Nils B.

Die Zeit von Modernitätstheorien philosophisch-soziologischen Zuschnitts ist keineswegs abgelaufen, wie manchmal vermutet wird. Im Gegenteil - unsere Gegenwart scheint solche Theorien geradezu zu benötigen und nach ihnen zu verlangen. Die Suche nach einer Standortbestimmung und nach Orientierung mit Blick auf die Zukunft ist allgegenwärtig. Hartmut Rosa erhebt hier seine Stimme und mit seinem Buch "Resonanz. Eine Soziologie der Weltbeziehung" hat er eine umfassende Positionierung vorgenommen. Die Resonanz auf sein Resonanz-Buch war und ist enorm. Offenbar hat Rosa einen Nerv getroffen. Trotz ihres akademischen Gewichts hat diese Publikation eine große, über das Fachpublikum hinausgreifende Leserschaft gefunden. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten, hat Rosa Diskussionen ausgelöst, in denen sich das Für und Wider hinsichtlich seiner Thesen spiegeln. Dieses Buch liefert einen substanziellen Beitrag zu diesem Disput.
