nexusstc/Legal Implications of the »Common Heritage« Principle for Atlantic Bluefin Tuna/8ce13acb80b3394ba8459a2edd7b4ac9.pdf

Legal Implications of the "Common Heritage" Principle for Atlantic Bluefin Tuna. Doorn, Erik van Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Veröffentlichungen des Walther-Schücking-Instituts für Internationales Recht an der Universität Kiel; 203, 1, 2021

Many fisheries management systems have individual rights at their basis but are not always successful. The question is what would have to change in fisheries law when community rights form the basis of management. Applying this idea globally, the principle of the common heritage of humankind could provide a future foundation. The principle incorporates intra- and intergenerational justice and has a clear biocentric component but is now only applicable to the ocean floor beyond national jurisdiction and to celestial bodies other than Earth. If this principle would also apply to highly migratory fish species like Atlantic bluefin tuna, not only an analysis of the applicable law but also of the principle ́s roots in environmental ethics, the economic consequences of such application and a comparison with the idea of public trusteeship provide helpful insights. It appears that the common heritage of humankind can enable both utilisation and preservation of natural resources.

nexusstc/Proceedings in absentia in comparative and international criminal law/9d3f027daa49f9fc8f394d590c3c4852.pdf

Proceedings »in Absentia« in Comparative and International Criminal Law Mertins, Lena Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Beiträge zum Internationalen und Europäischen Strafrecht / Studies in International and European Criminal Law and Procedure; 50, 1, 2022

The thesis finds a normative approach to the question whether trial in absentia is suitable for International Criminal Tribunals by applying classical sources of international criminal law and combining institutional aspects of the procedural theory, specifically the goals of the international criminal trial, with the individual frameworks of fundamental rights, namely the right to be present. Through a critical analysis of concepts presented as models for trial in absentia it introduces a new concept for trials ›in absentia‹ which considers both the defendant’s right and duty to be present. The book thereby establishes a connection between legal theory, international criminal procedural law, international human rights law and comparative law on the one hand and – considering the high number of accused of International Criminal Tribunals at large – a highly relevant procedural question on the other hand.The thesis finds a normative approach to the question whether trial ›in absentia‹ is suitable for International Criminal Tribunals by applying classical sources of international criminal law and combining institutional aspects of the procedural theory, specifically the goals of the international criminal trial, with the individual frameworks of fundamental rights, namely the right to be present.

nexusstc/The Legality of Targeted Killings in View of Direct Participation in Hostilities./d47e128674cb0847171667190f102ad2.pdf

The Legality of Targeted Killings in View of Direct Participation in Hostilities. Alkatout, Josef Duncker et Humblot, Beiträge zum Internationalen und Europäischen Strafrecht, Beiträge zum Internationalen und Europäischen Strafrecht / Studies in International and European Criminal Law and Procedure; 22, 1, 2015

In today's asymmetric armed conflicts, military agents carry out targeted killings against civilians that »take a direct part in the hostilities«. This book defines such participation for the purposes of international humanitarian, criminal and human rights law. Additionally, the general framework of the law of war is revisited, in particular under the currently frequent scenario of non-international armed conflicts. Treaty requirements for the recognition of non-state actors (degree of collectivity) are addressed and the legal ethics of a strict status-based approach in international law (combatants/civilians) is opined on. The study at hand analyzes the repertory of applicable legal texts and their authentic versions in the different official languages. It discloses existing incoherencies and gives an overview of their implementation into the national legislation of several countries. The research closes with a fictional case study. Graphs and figures are used for illustration purposes throughout the document.In today's asymmetric armed conflicts, military agents carry out targeted killings against civilians that »take a direct part in the hostilities«.

Die Debatte um ein Widerstandsrecht im frühen elisabethanischen England 1558 – ca. 1587 Elisabeth Natour Duncker & Humblot Gmbh, Duncker und Humblot Verlag, Berlin, 2015

Mit Beginn der elisabethanischen Herrschaft setzte zwischen den konfessionellen Gruppierungen Englands eine rege Debatte um die Ausrichtung der neuen Religionspolitik ein. In Hunderten von gedruckten Streitschriften rangen Exilkatholiken, konforme und nonkonforme Protestanten um Fragen der religiösen Doktrin und Praxis. Doch zugleich kommunizierten die Autoren in diesen Auseinandersetzungen mit dem jeweiligen konfessionellen Gegner ihre religionspolitischen Vorstellungen, sei es zum richtigen Verhältnis von Herrscher und Untertan, zu den Grenzen des Gehorsams- bzw. Widerstandsgebots oder zum Stellenwert von Gewissen, Macht und Recht. Die vorliegende Studie rekonstruiert diese oft verborgene und der Forschung bislang entgangene zweite Ebene der Schriften für die ersten drei Regierungsjahrzehnte als Debatte um ein Widerstandsrecht. Sie erschließt die kontroversliterarischen Quellen als Schlüsseltexte des zeitgenössischen politischen Denkens im Spannungsfeld von Universität, Geistlichkeit, Hofelite und einer sich entwickelnden vormodernen Öffentlichkeit.

nexusstc/Peer Disagreement in Law/8def73ff4e94a3ceb33c3d9bce05f865.pdf

Peer Disagreement in Law. Villanueva Breulmann, Isabell Duncker et Humblot, Schriften zur Rechtstheorie; 295, 1, 2021

Philosophers have been puzzled for quite some time by the fact that intelligent and generally reasonable individuals who are equally well-informed and familiar with the same bodies of evidence still disagree with one another. Legal theorists wonder why this is puzzling for philosophers in the first place as disagreement is the very foundation of their work. This book, placed at the intersection of philosophical epistemology and jurisprudence, deals with the theoretical challenges that disagreements between judges create. The philosophical debate is applied to German and American legal disputes. How can such disagreements be integrated into the general philosophical debate on »peer disagreement« and into the legal theory of judicial decisionmaking? How should one deal with such disagreements under the existing legal framework but also in terms of legal policy? Erscheinungsdatum: 16.12.2020

Applied Economics Quarterly Supplement, 2006: The Effects of Globalization on National Labor Markets: Diagnosis and Therapy, Issue 57 Snower, Dennis J. (editor);Winkelmann, Rainer (editor);Zimmermann, Klaus F. (editor) Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Applied Economics Quarterly. Supplements, Applied Economics Quarterly. Supplements; 57, 1, 2006

Die Auswirkungen der Globalisierung werden vielfach als Bedrohung für die nationalen (Arbeits)Märkte angesehen. Die 69. Wissenschaftliche Konferenz widmete sich deshalb dem aktuellen Thema "Auswirkungen der Globalisierung auf nationale Arbeitsmärkte: Diagnose und Therapie". Vor dem Hintergrund hoher Arbeitslosenzahlen wurde mit dieser Konferenz ein Beitrag zur wirtschaftspolitischen Beratung der Bundesregierung geleistet. In den Vorträgen und Diskussionen wurden die Implikationen globalisierter Arbeitsmärkte beispielsweise für die Geld- und Fiskalpolitik, die Bedeutung der (De-)Regulierung in einem globalisierten Arbeitsmarkt und die Arbeitsmarkteffekte durch Outsourcing behandelt. Andere Vorträge widmeten sich dem Thema Einkommensausgleich und Wirtschaftseffizienz, der Förderung des Niedriglohnsektors und der Humankapitalbildung als Bestandteil der Wirtschaftspolitik.Die Vorträge und Diskussionsbeiträge stützten die These, dass die Globalisierung nicht die Hauptursache für die Probleme am deutschen Arbeitsmarkt - insbesondere für die Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit und gering Qualifizierte - darstellt, die Auswirkungen anderer Ursachen aber verstärken. Als Lösungsvorschläge wurden genannt: Flexibilisierungen am Arbeitsmarkt, Ausgestaltung der Sozialleistungen im Zusammenhang mit Arbeitslosigkeit als Hilfen zur Arbeitsaufnahme, Qualifizierung von Arbeitnehmern sowie auch gesteuerte Zuwanderung statt Abschottung der Märkte.

Eichmann in jerusalem - 50 years after : an interdisciplinary approach Ambos, Kai; Pereira Coutinho, Luís; Palma, Maria Fernanda; Sousa Mendes, Paulo de Duncker & Humblot; Duncker & Humblot Gmbh, Beiträge zum Internationalen und Europäischen Strafrecht, Beiträge zum Internationalen und Europäischen Strafrecht / Studies in International and European Criminal Law and Procedure; 14, 1, 2012

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the end of the Eichmann trial, the Law Faculty of the University of Lisbon organized and hosted an international colloquium on the book »Eichmann in Jerusalem« that took place on April 27–28, 2011, in Lisbon. The main purpose was to evoke Hannah Arendt's oeuvre and to reflect upon the Eichmann trial. »Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil« is indeed an important keystone to understanding Arendt's work as a whole and constitutes a reference point in itself when addressing crucial problems in the fields of criminal law, international criminal law and philosophy of law. The main contributions, recollected for publication in the present English edition, give a rare opportunity for a kaleidoscopic and pluralistic series of views, made possible since her book gives an excellent lesson to experts in law and maintains an astonishing actuality. The present book covers aspects as broad and diverse as facing the evil; the legal and the political in Hannah Arendt; Eichmann in Jerusalem and Hannah Arendt's oeuvre; the Eichmann trial; reflections starting from Eichmann in Jerusalem; and finally, contemporary experiences of transitional justice.On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the end of the Eichmann trial, the Law Faculty of the University of Lisbon organized and hosted an international colloquium on the book »Eichmann in Jerusalem« that took place on April 27–28, 2011, in Lisbon.

Crossroads in Modern Russian History. Translated by Antonina W. Bouis. Gaidar, Yegor; Chubais, Anatoly Duncker et Humblot, 1, 2016

$aThe book uses historical material to examine the most important crossroads in modern Russian history (1921–2009) and shows the circumstances in which they occurred.$zEach chapter deals with a different period of twentieth-century Russian history. The book gives clear and simple explanations of the decisions taken in those fateful years, describing which crossroads in history required decisions and what limitations and obstacles forced the authors to act in one way rather than another. Yegor Gaidar and Anatoly Chubais are not historians, they are the people who elaborated and made the decisions so crucial for Russia in the 1990s and who took all responsibility for the consequences.Based on historical material, the book examines the most important crossroads of Russian history in the period 1929–2009, showing the circumstances that gave rise to them – the choice of political decisions and the consequences, including new institutions. The result of the political decisions made in the late 1920s and early 1930s was the Soviet centrally planned economy; its growing crisis led to the crossroads of the 1990s. The decisions of 1992–1993 led to the creation of the market economy in Russia, a new stage in the country's development.

nexusstc/Cosmos, Cosmopolitanism and Cosmopolitics throughout History/725e52b4da8f4ca9ecb5a3c28f029775.pdf

Cosmos, Cosmopolitanism and Cosmopolitics throughout History. Nour Sckell, Soraya; Ehrhardt, Damien Duncker et Humblot, Cosmos, Cosmopolitanism and Cosmopolitics throughout History, Beiträge zur Politischen Wissenschaft; 200, 1, 2022

The relationship between human beings and the cosmos has developed in divergent mythological, poetic, religious, philosophical, scientific, political-juridical, and ecological ways over time. Throughout history the cosmos has been subjected to a scientific perspective as well as to the poetic gaze, both of which contemplate the mysteries of the night, the comets, the king-sun, the moon, and infinity. Several other concepts, such as cosmology, cosmopolitanism, cosmopolitics, cosmopolitan citizenship, cosmopolitan law, and cosmic consciousness are derived from the idea of the cosmos. Cosmopolitanism relates to the ethical ideal of belonging, as a citizen of the world, to a universal community, beyond any links to particular communities. Cosmopolitics corresponds to a dual concern with affording local politics a cosmopolitan dimension and ensuring that global politics has a democratic dimension. This book intends to discuss the various perspectives on the cosmos, cosmopolitanism, cosmopolitics and other related concepts. Erscheinungsdatum: 09.06.2022

Heidegger Studies is an annual publication dedicated to promoting the understanding of Heidegger's thought through the interpretation of his writings. Heidegger Studies provides a forum for the thorough interpretation of the whole of Heidegger's work (including works published during his lifetime) that is called for by the publication of his Gesamtausgabe. In keeping with its international character, Heidegger Studies publishes articles in English German, and French. Die Heidegger Studien sind eine einmal im Jahr erscheinende Zeitschrift, die der Förderung des Verständnisses des Heidegger'schen Denkens durch die Interpretation seiner Schriften gewidmet ist. Ihr Ziel ist, ein Forum zu bilden, das der gründlichen Interpretation des ganzen Werkes Heideggers (einschließlich der zu seinen Lebzeiten veröffentlichten Schriften) dient. Die Existenz eines solchen Forums ist ein Erfordernis, das sich aus der fortlaufenden Veröffentlichung der Gesamtausgabe ergibt. Spannbreite und Bedeutung der erstmalig in der Gesamtausgabe erscheinenden Texte machen in der Tat eine erneute Aneignung von Heideggers Denken unumgänglich. Gemäß der Internationalität der Heidegger Studien werden in ihnen Beiträge in englischer, deutscher und französischer Sprache veröffentlicht. Les Etudes Heideggeriennes sont une publication annuelle, consacrée à promouvoir l'entente de la pensée de Heidegger grâce à l'interprétation de ses écrits. Elles s'offrent comme lieu de débat servant à la réinterprétation de l'œvre complète de Heidegger (y compris les textes publiés de son vivant) ce qu'appelle d'ailleurs la publication en cours de l'Edition intégrale. Elles répondent ainsi à l'exigence suscitée par l'ampleur et l'importance des inédits que publie l'Edition intégrale. Les Etudes Heideggeriennes sont une revue délibérément internationale.

nexusstc/Professional Guilds and the History of Insurance: A Comparative Analysis/c086360e74fa85e9d5c9ced140e5f370.pdf

Professional Guilds and the History of Insurance: A Comparative Analysis (Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law) (German Edition) Hellwege, Phillip (editor) Duncker & Humblot Gmbh, Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law / Studien zur vergleichenden Geschichte des Versicherungsrechts; 7, 1, 2020

German literature claims that modern insurance (law) has three roots: marine insurance, the co-operative protection provided by medieval and early modern guilds, and state-run insurance schemes. By contrast, English scholars suggest that there is only one root for modern insurance (law): marine insurance (law). The literature on the developments in other European countries follows similar narratives. It seems that in these countries, guilds have had no influence on the formation of insurance. The aim of the present volume is to test these different narratives. More specifically, the objective is to assess from a comparative perspective (i) whether it is possible to analyse in terms of insurance the support offered by medieval and early modern professional guilds to members in need and (ii) whether guild support had a lasting impact on the development of modern insurance and insurance law. To this end, the present volume covers various European countries followed by a comparative analysis. Erscheinungsdatum: 17.09.2020

Can Germany Stand Up to International Locational Competition? Winkelmann, Rainer; Zimmermann, Klaus F. Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Applied Economics Quarterly. Supplements; 56, 1, 2005

Unternehmen konkurrieren um Kunden, während Regionen und Staaten um Unternehmen, um deren Arbeitsplätze und Steuerzahlungen konkurrieren. Bei der Standortwahl müssen die Unternehmen weder absatz- noch input-orientiert sein. Vielmehr können sie auch - als "footloose industries" - allein Lohnkostenvorteile nutzen. Für Hochlohn-Standorte wie Deutschland kommt es somit umso mehr darauf an, den Unternehmen attraktive Standorteigenschaften zu bieten.International und einschlägig ausgewiesene Wissenschaftler der Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitute CEPII (Paris), Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft (Köln), ifo Institut (München), Institut für Weltwirtschaft (Kiel) sowie HWWA (Hamburg) legen die Ergebnisse aktueller v.a. empirischer Studien vor, die u.a. aufzeigen, welche Standorteigenschaften für international orientierte Unternehmen von besonderer Bedeutung sind, in welche Richtung in Deutschland ein Programm zur Standortstärkung und zur Überwindung der Wachstumsschwäche zielen müsste, welche Auswirkungen Investitionen deutscher Firmen im Ausland auf die Beschäftigung in Deutschland haben.Enterprises compete for clients, whereas regions and states compete for enterprises, jobs and tax revenues. Enterprises selecting where to locate do not have to orient themselves towards markets or inputs: as "footloose industries"", they can simply move to where they find the lowest wages. For high-wage countries like Germany it is, thus, all the more important to offer enterprises attractive locational conditions.Internationally renowned economists from the research institutes CEPII (Paris), IW (Cologne), Ifo (Munich), IfW (Kiel) and HWWA (Hamburg) present results of recent, mainly empirical studies. They discuss the most important locational conditions for enterprises, the central objectives of a program to stimulate growth and improve Germany's attractiveness as a business location, and the net effects of outgoing investment on the German labour market.

Essays on a Comparative History of Fire Insurance. Hellwege, Phillip Duncker et Humblot, Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law / Studien zur vergleichenden Geschichte des Versicherungsrechts; 16, 1, 2021

The aim of the present volume is to reassess the history of fire insurance and fire insurance law in selected European countries from comparative perspectives. Its point of departure is the observation that today’s state of research is unsatisfactory. Foremost, the history of fire insurance and fire insurance law presents itself differently in the various European historiographies. German authors usually assert that modern fire insurance is rooted in medieval and early modern guild support, and German literature further claims that state-run fire insurance schemes as first established towards the end of the seventeenth century were of particular importance for the development of modern fire insurance. By contrast, English literature often treats fire insurance and fire insurance law as being the offspring of marine insurance. Research in many other European countries follows English literature in treating fire insurance as being firmly rooted in marine insurance. The present volume revisits these different narratives.

The Application of the Doctrine of Intertemporality in Contentious Proceedings. Martin, Edward Duncker et Humblot, Schriften zum Völkerrecht; 245, 1, 2021

The doctrine of intertemporality prohibits the retroactive application of norms of international law in contentious proceedings and obliges the deciding court to positively ascertain the applicable historic rules. In situations in which the historic interaction between a European and a non-European entity needs to be litigated, problems arise. International law is lacking a universally recognised methodology, particularly regarding its unwritten rules. Also, the historic non-European peoples were often relied on oral tradition and did not produce any documentary evidence of their historic legal orders. Historically, different regions of the world produced independent legal regimes. »Meta law« governing the interactions between entities of different regimes was non-existent since no regional order did claim global rule. Hence there were no rules governing the interactions between European and non-European entities. The applicable historic law is presently ascertained by recourse to specific European phenomena. In contentious proceedings, this methodology leads to a situation of »différend« – a situation in which the method of solving the dispute already vindicates the position of one of the parties to the dispute.

Essays on Money and Finance: Evidence for China. Huang, Jiajin Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Volkswirtschaftliche Schriften; 571, 1, 2019

This book investigates and resolves some financial and monetary questions regarding Chinese economy. The first chapter examines the role of informal financing in China using a firm-level dataset of manufacture industry, and finds that low-risk informal finance exerts a positive effect on firms’ performance. The second and third chapter focus on the measurement and effect of Chinese monetary policy. The autor establishes a new index by using a state space method, reflecting changes in various monetary instruments, which has both theoretical and empirical advantages. Then he investigates the effect of China‘s monetary policy shocks on its close trading partners in developing Asia with the GVAR method. China’s influence has highly expanded even by monetary policy perspective. Erscheinungsdatum: 03.04.2019

Fire and Life Insurance in the Dutch Republic. : Development and Legal Aspects. Sirks, Delphine Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law - Studien zur vergleichenden Geschichte des Versicherungsrechts, 18, 1. Auflage, Berlin, 2022

The thesis researches the influence of marine insurance law on the development of fire and life insurance law in the Dutch Republic (1581–1795). Fire and life insurance are often seen as offspring of marine insurance, following the latter’s principles and rules ›mutatis mutandis‹. However, this theory of marine insurance as a single starting point for other types of insurance is rebutted by the various mutual fire insurance contracts found in the Zaanstreek and other parts of the Dutch Republic. This study reviews sources already known and hitherto unknown sources. As most of the sources consist of contracts, the research deals with insurance contract law. These contracts were concluded throughout the Dutch Republic at different times by varying parties. Therefore, instead of resorting to a uniform and doctrinal approach, the study takes on a casuistic approach. Instances of fire and life insurance are treated on a case-by-case basis within their own relevant circumstances. Erscheinungsdatum: 17.02.2022

Translated by Matthew Cunningham (Anthropology, Existence and Individuals) Piette, Albert Duncker & Humblot; Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Anthropology, Existence and Individuals, Anthropology, Existence and Individuals; 1, 1, 2015

This book is an anthropology book, not a social and cultural anthropology book, but an existential anthropology book. It presents a critique of the theories and methods of the social sciences, which Albert Piette reproaches for side-stepping human beings, their modes of being and more generally the fact of existing. The book also offers an original combination of methods for exploring the details of existence: the particularities of each person in a group, the succession of situations in a day, and the subtlety of moments of presence. It gives rise to new theoretical propositions on what constitutes the specificity of human existence and social life.This book is an anthropology book, not a social and cultural anthropology book, but an existential anthropology book.

Participatory Rights in the Environmental Decision-Making Process and the Implementation of the Aarhus Convention: a Comparative Perspective. Lohse, Eva Julia (editor);Poto, Margherita (editor) Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Schriften zum Internationalen Recht, Schriften zum Internationalen Recht; 205, 1, 2015

Öffentlichkeitsbeteiligung in Umweltangelegenheiten beruht auf der Idee, dass Bürger und Behörden eine ökologische Verantwortung haben, auf die Erde zu achten. Rechtlich wird diese Idee durch Beteiligungsrechte in Verwaltungs- und Gerichtsverfahren einerseits und in rechtlichen Pflichten für die Behörden andererseits zum Ausdruck gebracht. Trotz gemeinsamer internationaler (Aarhus Convention) und supranationaler (EG-/EU-Richtlinien) Verpflichtungen unterscheiden sich diese Rechte und Pflichten in den europäischen Rechtsordnungen aufgrund von unterschiedlichen Rechtsvorschriften sowie (Rechts-)Traditionen. Ziel ist es, einen rechtsvergleichenden Überblick über die Beteiligungsrechte für Bürger und die Pflichten der Behörden in Deutschland und Italien als Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union zu geben. Dies trägt zur besseren Umsetzung der völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtungen ebenso wie zur Herausbildung eines sich gerade entwickelnden gemeinsamen europäischen Rechts zur Öffentlichkeitsbeteiligung in Umweltangelegenheiten bei.The book provides a comparative overview of the implementation of participatory rights in environmental decision making. The core idea was to explore the legal cultures of various EU member states, where the principles of the Aarhus Convention have been implemented in national law with a focus on German and Italian environmental law. Our project aims to contribute to the knowledge of whether European Union law is on the right way to establish such an approach.

Deliberative Diplomacy: Performing Democracy Beyond Borders. : An Analysis of the American Embassy’s »Going Green« Project. Burmester, Svea DUNCKER & HUMBLOT GMBH, Beiträge zur politischen Wissenschaft -- Band 196, Beiträge zur politischen Wissenschaft -- Bd. 196., Berlin, Germany, 2019

Extending democratic processes beyond borders is possible, particularly in civil society settings. This research project identifies deliberative diplomacy as a promising format, a new form of public diplomacy based on deliberative discourse, i.e. relying on the force of the better argument in favor of the common global good. A comprehensive analysis of the »Going Green« sustainability school project of the Embassy of the United States of America in Berlin, Germany, provides empirical evidence. Furthermore, the analysis identifies a specific window of opportunity in transatlantic relations that allowed this new phenomenon of international democratic exchange to evolve and also elaborates on its theoretical underpinnings in democratic and IR theory. Thanks to its rare insight on the attitudes of adolescents concerning transatlantic relations, environmental sustainability, and deliberation, this book is a significant contribution to the study of deliberation and civic education.

(editor) Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Applied Economics Quarterly. Supplements, Applied Economics Quarterly. Supplements; 58, 1, 2007

This supplement to Applied Economics Quarterly reports on the 70th Annual Meeting of the Association of German Economic Research Institutes (ARGE-Institute), which took place in Berlin on April 19, 2007. The topic was "Energy Markets - Investment, Competition, and Regulation."Energy markets pose a major challenge for the economy, politics, and society: the entire structure of power generation is on the verge of a fundamental renewal. By dealing with the important current question of how regulation will affect investments in generation and transmission capacities within liberalized electricity and gas markets, the conference offered useful contributions for policy advice to the federal government. Keynote speaker Carl Christian von Weizsäcker discussed investments in energy markets, while Jean Michel Glachant, the second keynote speaker, considered the choice between a "Vibrant European Market and Industry or a Bunch of National Energy Champions." The other lectures focused on alternative strategies for renewable energies, biofuels as a climate policy strategy, as well as innovation, competition, and asymmetric strategic investment.From the editorial by Wolfgang Franz / Rainer Winkelmann / Klaus F. Zimmermann

nexusstc/Widows and the History of Insurance/bc8b5f61cc4fdd22f6b7d6f432d58bc5.pdf

Widows and the History of Insurance. Hellwege, Phillip Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law / Studien zur vergleichenden Geschichte des Versicherungsrechts; 14, 1, 2021

The aim of the present volume is to analyse the genesis of modern life insurance by focusing on one specific purpose which life insurance serves: seeking provision for widowhood. This focus follows from the understanding that the evolution of life insurance can only be understood if its genesis is embedded in the history of the many competing and often insufficient strategies for the support of widows and the many strategies which widows employed to support themselves. This general framework was different across Europe. By contrast, the fact that life insurance is said to have been banned in some European countries, the different advancement in actuarial science, and the distribution of wealth cannot fully explain the late arrival of modern life insurance in some European countries. Finally, the approach taken in this volume allows to compare English life insurance products to traditional Continental European pension products. Erscheinungsdatum: 07.07.2021

The German Yearbook of International Law, founded as the Jahrbuch für Internationales Recht, provides an annual report on new developments in international law and is edited by the Walther Schücking Institute for International Law at the Kiel University. Since its inception in 1948, the Yearbook has endeavored to make a significant academic contribution to the ongoing development of international law. Over many decades the Yearbook has moved beyond its origins as a forum for German scholars to publish their research and has become a highly-regarded international forum for innovative scholarship in international law. In 1976, the Yearbook adopted its current title and began to publish contributions written in English in order to reach the largest possible international audience. This editorial decision has enabled the Yearbook to successfully overcome traditional language barriers and inform an international readership about current research in German academic institutions and, at the same time, to present international viewpoints to its German audience. Fully aware of the paramount importance of international practice, the Yearbook publishes contributions from active practitioners of international law on a regular basis. The Yearbook also includes critical comments on German state practice relating to international law, as well as international reactions to that practice.

The German Yearbook of International Law was founded in 1948 as the "Jahrbuch für Internationales Recht" by Rudolf Laun and Hermann von Mangoldt and is now edited by the Institute for International Law at the University of Kiel. Since its inception it has endeavoured to contribute to the development of international law. Originally it has done this mainly by providing German scholars with an opportunity to publish the results of their works, but increasingly also by offering an international forum.In view of the desirability of obtaining for the Yearbook the largest possible international audience, the editors in 1976 have decided to use the present English title and to accept for publication preferably contributions written in English, or - to a lesser degree - in French. Naturally, the Yearbook also contains contributions written in German. This policy to overcome traditional language barriers appears to have proven successful both in informing the international law community about research done in German academic institutions and in presenting international viewpoints on various topics to the German audience.The Yearbook provides an annual report on the work of international organizations and bodies including the International Court of Justice and the European Court and Commission of Human Rights. Fully aware of the paramount importance of practical aspects in this field, the editors from the beginning also have sought to include contributions from practitioners of international law.

Das Eigentum als eine Bedingung der Freiheit / Property as a Condition of Liberty. Anton Rauscher; Duncker und Humblot Duncker & Humblot; Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Duncker und Humblot Verlag, Berlin, 2013

Das 12. Deutsch-Amerikanische Kolloquium, das vom 21. bis 26. Juli 2012 in Chicago stattfand, befasste sich mit der Frage, welche Bedeutung dem Eigentum zukommt, damit die Freiheitsrechte nicht auf dem Papier stehen, sondern die Bürger Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Kultur mitgestalten. Im Bewusstsein der Bevölkerung in den USA ist der Zusammenhang zwischen Eigentum und Freiheit und der damit verbundenen Bereitschaft zur Übernahme von Risiken und Verantwortung lebendig. In Deutschland wächst – trotz eines stark ausgebauten Sozialstaats – die Diskussion um Armut und Reichtum. Ursache des Sozialneids in einer Wohlstandsgesellschaft ist die ungleiche Verteilung des Produktivkapitals und die geringe Neigung der Mehrheit der Bevölkerung, die Risiken und die Verantwortung zu tragen, von denen die strukturelle Entwicklung der Industriegesellschaft abhängt.

A Critical Archaeology of Cosmopolitan Thinking. : Return to the Interwar Years. Meyer, Daniel; Raulet, Gérard Duncker & Humblot GmbH, A Critical Archaeology of Cosmopolitan Thinking, Beiträge zur Politischen Wissenschaft; 202, 1, 2023

In the period between World Wars, the shock of World War 1 and the trauma caused by the conditions of the peace treaties generated an abundance of works on cosmopolitism and supranationalism. In the very period that witnessed the rise of nationalisms, pacifism and cosmopolitan thinking underwent a thorough renewal. While the Socialist International, bolstered by the progress of the Bolshevik revolution, claimed to offer an alternative to the weakness of Western democracies, these experienced a readjustment in the issues linked to cosmopolitanism, fuelled by the leading intellectual theories. Practically all the schools of thought and all the major intellectual figures played a part in this. Important turning points in theory were achieved. This enquiry into the intermediate period between both World Wars aims at outlining an archaeology of models and paradigms in contemporary cosmopolitan thought. / In the period between World Wars, the shock of World War 1 and the trauma caused by the conditions of the peace treaties generated an abundance of works on cosmopolitism and supranationalism.

Development Cooperation - Evaluation and New Approaches. Ahrens, Heinz (editor) Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Schriften des Vereins für Socialpolitik, Schriften des Vereins für Socialpolitik; 308, 1, 2005

This volume represents some of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Research Committee on Development Economics (Ausschuss für Entwicklungsländer) of the German Economic Association (Verein für Socialpolitik) held in Cologne, Germany, in July 2004. The meeting focused on the effectiveness of, and new approaches in, development cooperation. Both issues have become increasingly important in recent years in view of the declining volume of budget funds allocated to development cooperation. The papers discussing the effectiveness of foreign aid shed new light on the issue at a crucial moment where economists have begun to question the recent consensus that the productivity of aid mainly depends on the recipient country's policy environment. As far as the contributions dealing with new approaches in development cooperation are concerned, these are centred on a closer integration of the private sector, by joint action with so-called lead firms in production networks on the one hand, and the mobilization of additional financial resources from international capital markets for bilateral development cooperation, on the other. The authors also make suggestions concerning critical aspects relevant for implementation. The last part of this volume is dedicated to an assessment of low-income countries' pension schemes based on the human capital approach.This volume represents some of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Research Committee on Development Economics (Ausschuss für Entwicklungsländer) of the German Economic Association (Verein für Socialpolitik) held in Cologne, Germany, in July 2004.

Twenty years of economic reconstruction in East Germany : [this supplement ... reports on the 72nd annual meeting of the Association of German Economic Research Institutes (ARGE-Institute), which took place in Berlin on April 23, 2009 Wey, Christian (editor);Zimmermann, Klaus F. (editor) Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Applied Economics Quarterly. Supplements, Applied Economics Quarterly. Supplements; 60, 1, 2009

This year marks the 20th anniversary of German reunification. The events of autumn 1989 revealed that the GDR was not just politically but also economically bankrupt. Given the large-scale emigration to the West after the fall of the Wall, the D-Mark was introduced quickly, despite widespread rejection of this measure by the leading economist of the time. Rapid wage increases intensified the pressure on businesses, and the adjustment shock made it necessary to rebuild the foundations of the economy at a rapid pace and an extremely high cost. With the creation of the economic and currency union, a dynamic process of growth and development was launched in many areas of society. Twenty years later, the questions arise: Where do we stand today, what implications can be derived for the future, and what remains to be done in the policy realm? This AEQ Supplement addresses the following issues: - Structural convergence and regional development: Should policy makers really attempt to counteract convergence? How far is East Germany currently lagging behind? What strategic decisions do policy makers need to make? - Old-age poverty: Is there an increasing risk of old-age poverty in East Germany? What are the results of societal aging in East Germany? - Returns to education for full-time employees: The East has caught up - Dramatic demographic changes in Thuringia: Will Thuringia face a shortage of skilled labor up to 2015?

Hellwege, Phillip; Rossi, Guido Duncker et Humblot GmbH, Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law / Studien zur vergleichenden Geschichte des Versicherungsrechts, 11, 1st ed, Berlin, 2021

Insurance is a legal, an actuarial and a financial product, and it is one out of many risk management strategies. It follows that its history can only be studied in the broader context of the development of such strategies, applying an interdisciplinary approach. The theme of the present volume is maritime risk management. After an overview over the history of insurance, the contributions to the present volume examine different maritime risk management strategies by adopting a variety of methodological approaches. Some contributions focus on normative provisions, others contrast practice with legal scholarship, or focus on the emergence of insurance companies as opposed to individual insurers. Again, other contributions give insights in marine insurance practice in specific cities or analyse insurance practice through the lens of specific insurance litigation. As to the time frame, the different contributions span from antiquity to the nineteenth century. Erscheinungsdatum: 21.04.2021

Cosmopolitanism. : From the Kantian Legacy to Contemporary Approaches. Consani, Cristina Foroni; Klein, Joel T.; Nour Sckell, Soraya Duncker & Humblot Gmbh, Beiträge zur Politischen Wissenschaft; 198, 1, 2021

This book investigates several dimensions of the concept of cosmopolitanism since Kant. The first of these dimensions is a world vision that considers the construction of a »cosmopolitan self« as a question of justice. The second is the idea that a local political-legal order is fully democratic only if it respects the environment and the human rights of all people of the world, regardless of their citizenship. The third dimension concerns the practice of crossborder associations between individuals, institutionalized or not (cosmopolitics, as Balibar called it). The fourth considers individuals as subjects of international law, as in the case of individual petitions concerning human rights through the European Court of Human Rights and individual responsibility in international criminal law. Finally, the fifth dimension is a form of ecological consciousness based on the relationship between the self and the cosmos, which would imply a profound revision of modern anthropocentric concepts.

Existence in the Details: Theory and Methodology in Existential Anthropology. Translated by Matthew Cunningham (Anthropology, Existence and Individuals) by Albert Piette; translated by Matthew Cunningham Duncker & Humblot; Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Duncker und Humblot Verlag, Berlin, 2015

This book is an anthropology book, not a social and cultural anthropology book, but an existential anthropology book. It presents a critique of the theories and methods of the social sciences, which Albert Piette reproaches for side-stepping human beings, their modes of being and more generally the fact of existing. The book also offers an original combination of methods for exploring the details of existence: the particularities of each person in a group, the succession of situations in a day, and the subtlety of moments of presence. It gives rise to new theoretical propositions on what constitutes the specificity of human existence and social life..

Europa tut sich schwer mit wirtschaftspolitischen Strukturreformen. Oft widersetzen sich vor allem größere EU-Länder ganz dem Druck zur Veränderung, oder es werden nur partielle Reformen durchgeführt. Doch Verzögerungen von Reformen sind mit hohen volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten verbunden: Dazu gehören Wachstums- und Beschäftigungsverluste. Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft deutscher wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Forschungsinstitute hat darum anlässlich ihrer 67. Wissenschaftlichen Tagung Gründe für und Wege aus dem "Reformstau in Europa" gesucht. Erstmalig wurde die Tagung in Kooperation mit einem anderen Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitut, dem Centre for European Policy Studies (Brüssel), durchgeführt.Druck zum Wandel ergibt sich allein schon aus der demographischen Entwicklung in Europa. Die Alterung der Bevölkerung wird zu weniger Steuereinnahmen für die Staaten und zu geringeren Beiträgen für die Sozialversicherungen führen. Ein Beitrag dieses Heftes widmet sich dem deutschen "Sozialstaatsdilemma".Doch das Thema "Economics of Reform" wird nicht nur themenspezifisch, sondern auch aus einer allgemein theoretischen Perspektive betrachtet. Welche Faktoren erschweren resp. erleichtern wirtschaftspolitische Reformen? Wie kann der Erfolg von Reformen (am Beispiel der Arbeitsmarktpolitik in Deutschland) beurteilt werden? Gibt es einen Reformstau im Gesundheitswesen in Europa? Und warum sind Reformen zur Privatisierung kommunaler Leistungen - trotz Wohlfahrtsgewinnen - in den letzten Jahren zum Stillstand gekommen? Die Referate werden jeweils in einem Korreferat kritisch beleuchtet.

Classification and Clustering in Business Cycle Analysis. Heilemann, Ullrich (editor);Weihs, Claus (editor) Duncker et Humblot GmbH, Schriften des Rheinisch-Westfälischen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung, Schriften des Rheinisch-Westfälischen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung; 79, 1, 2007

The analysis of cyclical macroeconomic phenomena is an important field of econometric research. In the recent past, research interests have de-emphasized quantitative forecasting exercises and have addressed the qualitative diagnosis of the relative stance of the economy regarding »upswing«, »recession«, or »boom« periods, i. e. the classification of the state of the economy into a limited number of discrete states. In this context the principal challenge is to reduce the multifaceted and sometimes abundant quantitative information about the business cycle to such qualitative statements in an efficient way. For more than six years this task was the focus of the project »Multivariate determination and analysis of business cycles« within the SFB 475 »Reduction of complexity in multivariate data structures«, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The necessity for complexity reduction is, of course, not unique to business cycle analysis but is studied in many fields and in a number of ways. This broad interest in the reduction of problem dimensionality and in the appropriate combination of data and of theory caused the RWI Essen and the Statistical Department of the University of Dortmund in January 2002 to hold a workshop at the RWI Essen where the findings of this and similar projects were presented and discussed. The present publication collects revised versions of the papers presented at this workshop. Although the workshop took place some five years ago, these papers mark an importent juncture in the development of business cycle research.

Macroeconomic Causes of Unemployment: Diagnosis and Policy Recommendations / : Makroökonomische Ursachen der Arbeitslosigkeit: Diagnose und Therapievorschläge. Filc, Wolfgang (editor);Köhler, Claus (editor) Duncker et Humblot GmbH, Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Empirische Wirtschaftsforschung, Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Empirische Wirtschaftsforschung; 36, 1, 1999

This conference volume deals with one of the most severe economic, social and political problems major European economies face since the early nineties, the problem of lasting high unemployment. Contrary to the current German discussion, solely concentrating on microeconomic explanations and therapy recommendations, this volume presents papers based on various macro-economic points of view, showing different ways out of the employment crisis. Apart from renowned German economists, some well-known international academics participated in the 1998 Berlin symposium, to learn from experience in other countries. -- The first chapter contains the main standard textbook models and paradigms explaining lasting high unemployment. The question in the second chapter is if it is possible to fight unemployment with the help of macro policy on a purely national basis in the presence of global markets. The third chapter indicates possible effects of misalignments in financial markets on economic growth and employment. The contributions of the fourth chapter present experiences of other countries, which have succeeded in recent years in lowering their unemployment rates. The question at issue is, if these concepts can be transferred to Germany. The topics of the concluding chapter are practical macroeconomic starting points for sustainable employment growth in Europe. The methods contradict supply side arguments for the stabilisation of employment predominant in the German discussion. Attention is focused on relations between the role of monetary and fiscal policy in close conjunction with wage policy. Furthermore it is made evident that in global markets a theoretical macroeconomic concept as a base for sustainable employment is not very promising without enhanced international co-operation

From Guild Welfare to Bismarck Care: Professional Guilds and the Origins of Modern Social Security Law and Insurance Law in Germany (Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law) Hellwege, Phillip Duncker & Humblot Gmbh, Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law / Studien zur vergleichenden Geschichte des Versicherungsrechts; 8, 1, 2020

German literature on the history of insurance stresses the importance of professional guilds for the shaping of insurance and insurance law. Similarly, scholars researching the genesis of Germany’s social security claim the importance of guilds as predecessor of social security. However, there is a problem with both narratives: the impact of guilds is commonly asserted but has never been analytically established. Against this background, the present contribution offers an analysis of the support offered by professional guilds from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. Its overall conclusion is that modern literature is correct in holding that Germany’s social security is rooted in guild welfare. However, medieval guild support had to go through two phases of transformation in the early modern period and in the nineteenth century before it was apt as a model for Bismarck’s social security legislation. By contrast, professional guilds had no direct impact on modern insurance and insurance law. Erscheinungsdatum: 29.10.2020

Internationally Administered Territories -- International Protectorates?: An Analysis Of Sovereignty Over Internationally Administered Territories With Special Reference To The Legal Status Of Post-war Kosovo Analysis Of Sovereignty Over Internationally Administered Territories With Special Reference To The Legal Status Of Post-war Kosovo Smyrek, Daniel Sven. Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Tübinger Schriften zum internationalen und europäischen Recht; 80, 1, 2006

The author begins his survey by offering the reader an overview of the concepts of "physical control over a territory"" and "territorial sovereignty"". He then moves on to examine different scenarios in which territories have been administered by an organ representing the international community and explains how the issue of sovereignty was dealt with in each of these cases. In this context, the author offers a fascinating review of the recent case of Kosovo under UN administration describing the intricacies associated therewith. After thoroughly examining both the legal and factual situations, he evaluates the impact of the conclusions developed in the preceding chapters on the present and future status of this province. The author finally explores the relationship between the principle of democracy and the phenomenon of international territorial administrations, which he considers to be an example of "international governance".

The German Yearbook of International Law was founded in 1948 as the "Jahrbuch für Internationales Recht" by Rudolf Laun and Hermann von Mangoldt and is now edited by the Institute for International Law at the University of Kiel. Since its inception it has endeavoured to contribute to the development of international law. Originally it has done this mainly by providing German scholars with an opportunity to publish the results of their works, but increasingly also by offering an international forum.In view of the desirability of obtaining for the Yearbook the largest possible international audience, the editors in 1976 have decided to use the present English title and to accept for publication preferably contributions written in English, or - to a lesser degree - in French. Naturally, the Yearbook also contains contributions written in German. This policy to overcome traditional language barriers appears to have proven successful both in informing the international law community about research done in German academic institutions and in presenting international viewpoints on various topics to the German audience.The Yearbook provides an annual report on the work of international organizations and bodies including the International Court of Justice and the European Court and Commission of Human Rights. Fully aware of the paramount importance of practical aspects in this field, the editors from the beginning also have sought to include contributions from practitioners of international law.

nexusstc/Musa: An essay (or experiment) in the anthropology of the individual/8905cd20404a7599cea8709172533ee4.pdf

Musa. : An Essay (or Experiment) in the Anthropology of the Individual. Heiss, Jan Patrick Duncker & Humblot; Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Anthropology, Existence and Individuals, Anthropology, Existence and Individuals; 2, 1, 2015

Anthropology does not usually select a person and try to empirically research, describe, analyse and explain their present life. However, this is the main objective pursued in this book. The field subject who becomes a theme in it is Musa, a Hausa peasant from Niger. This study thus provides an account of his present life and tries to explain it by drawing on the literature on peasants and on Islam in the region. This book also tries to show that the study of individuals »as such« is a topic for anthropology which deserves more attention. It argues that anthropology could benefit from an explicit discussion of the notion of the individual by providing more differentiated accounts of individuals as it tries to contribute to a development of an appropriate notion of the individual for anthropology. Furthermore, it makes the point that the study of individuals contributes to a better understanding of the interrelationship between different social fields, e.g. religion and economy.

Dezentralisierung im Vergleich - Kommunale Selbstverwaltung in Deutschland und Südostasien am Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts - Decentralization in Comparison - Local Governance in Germany and South East Asia in the Beginning of the 21st Century. Vorträge und Berichte auf dem 10. Internationalen Speyerer Forum an der DHV Speyer vom 19.-21.9.2005 - Lectures and Reports on the 10th Speyer Panel on Cooperation in Law and Administration (Forum on Municipal Sciences) at the DHV Speyer 19.-21.9.2005. Blum, Ulrich; Wey, Christian; Zimmermann, Klaus F. DUNCKER UND HUMBLOT, Globalization and Competition, Applied Economics Quarterly. Supplements; 59, 1, 2008

This supplement presents the contributions to the 71st Annual Meeting of the Association of German Economic Research Institutes that deal with the contentious issues of "Globalization and Competition." Increased competitive intensity does not serve as a great "equalizer"; in contrast, the book identifies various areas where organizational and institutional differences sustain - a fact, important for the success of business strategies and governmental policies. In "Innovators and the Diversity of Innovation Systems" Uwe Canter and Andreas Meder analyze the determinants of cooperative invention. Regional proximity is a main driver of cooperative innovations so that path dependencies remain important even under globalization. Pio Baake und Christian Wey show that increasing demand-side market integration leads to new anticompetitive effects of mergers. In "Latin versus European Power: A Comparison of Market Reforms in Europe and Chile and Brazil" Tim Mennel and Maria Viecens show that national approaches towards utility regulations reveal persistent differences. Michael Rothgang analyzes the diversity of innovation processes while Christian Rammer and Anja Schmiele highlight the importance of absorptive capacities when innovation processes become more international. Finally, in "Foreign Subsidiaries in the East German Innovation System" Jutta Günther and co-authors show that foreign subsidiaries are often not linked to the local innovation system.This supplement presents the contributions to the 71st Annual Meeting of the Association of German Economic Research Institutes that deal with the contentious issues of "Globalization and Competition."

nexusstc/Law, Politics, and Morality: European Perspectives II. On Knowledge and Adjudication of National and European Law/e4f2365ace475f7c426e85bbef0d6c79.pdf

Law, Politics, and Morality: European Perspectives II. : On Knowledge and Adjudication of National and European Law. Ferrer Beltrán, Jordi (editor);Mora, Maribel Narvaéz (editor) Duncker & Humblot Gmbh, Schriften zur Rechtstheorie, Schriften zur Rechtstheorie; 215/II, 1, 2006

Teaching and study of law is based on the premises of formal dogma. Discussion centres on what the law says, and less on the Instruments enabling its application, such as legal argumentation and reasoning. The approach to the new legal and institutional challenges facing the European Union is not immune to this problem. Little public attention is paid to actual law emanating from EU institutions, and even less to its application. However, at least three issues of vital importance can easily be seen to originate in this field: (1) Does legal harmonisation among EU countries also mean harmonisation of criteria and forms of justification of judicial reasoning? (2) What is the relationship between each country's internal laws and European law at the application stage? And (3) what is the relationship between the application of law by European-level legal bodies and national bodies, which may, for example, assume differing levels of protection of individual rights? These and other questions concerning application of the law in the European Union were the objective of a European congress, The Judiciary and its Role in the European Construction Process, held in Girona, Spain, from 14 to 16 November 2002. The congress was funded by the European Commission via the Human Potential Programme within the European Community's 5th Framework Programme. It was part of the PhD Euroconferences in Legal Philosophy: Current Challenges to the European Legal Thought project. This book brings together the results of that congress, yet cannot be termed Proceedings, since the papers presented at the congress were later modified by the authors in light of the discussion.

nexusstc/The Influence of Marine Insurance Law on the Legal Development of Life and Fire Insurance in England/9b59bfe9bc8d95dec41c17c400ac4862.pdf

The Influence of Marine Insurance Law on the Legal Development of Life and Fire Insurance in England. Ogis, Sinem Duncker et Humblot, Comparative Studies in the History of Insurance Law / Studien zur vergleichenden Geschichte des Versicherungsrechts; 4, 1, 2019

This book addresses the question whether English insurance law is in its entirety rooted in marine insurance. English literature and case law indeed assert that life and fire insurance are nothing more than offspring of marine insurance. To describe life and fire insurance law as offspring of marine insurance suggests that the legal rules and principles as developed in the context of marine insurance were simply transferred as a whole to life and fire insurance. However, it is possible that the legal development happened differently. There could rather have been a convergence of the different legal regimes. To speak of a gradual convergence suggests that marine insurance law was transposed into life and fire insurance law only where appropriate. By analyzing this research question, the book unfolds the roots of modern insurance business in England as well as the evolution of English insurance law. Erscheinungsdatum: 14.11.2019

Bilateral and Multilateral Investment Treaties and Their Relationship with Environmental Norms and Measures. Dünnwald, Sonja Duncker & Humblot GmbH, Schriften zum Internationalen Recht, Schriften zum Internationalen Recht; 202, 1, 2015

Investment treaties protect the investments of foreign investors against interference by the host state: The core standards offer protection against discriminatory or unequitable treatment and expropriation. However, the investment activities can impact on the environment of the host state. The state retains its policy space to regulate for an environmental purpose. Some investment treaties refer to concepts of international environmental law, but do not impose a hierarchy of norms. In practice, it often falls to investment tribunals to distinguish between legitimate regulation and the violation of investors' rights. They decide on the scope of the state's policy space by balancing the opposing interests: Investment tribunals focus on the absence of protectionist intent, procedural propriety and the review of scientific evidence. If the regulatory framework is more stringent when the investment is made, there is less potential for subsequent conflict.Investment treaties protect the investments of foreign investors against interference by the host state: The core standards offer protection against discriminatory or unequitable treatment and expropriation.

The German Yearbook of International Law, founded as the Jahrbuch für Internationales Recht, provides an annual report on new developments in international law and is edited by the Walther Schücking Institute for International Law at the University of Kiel. Since its inception in 1948, the Yearbook has endeavored to make a significant academic contribution to the ongoing development of international law. Over many decades the Yearbook has moved beyond its origins as a forum for German scholars to publish their research and has become a highly-regarded international forum for innovative scholarship in international law. In 1976, the Yearbook adopted its current title and began to publish contributions written in English in order to reach the largest possible international audience. This editorial decision has enabled the Yearbook to successfully overcome traditional language barriers and inform an international readership about current research in German academic institutions and, at the same time, to present international viewpoints to its German audience. Fully aware of the paramount importance of international practice, the Yearbook publishes contributions from active practitioners of international law on a regular basis. The Yearbook also includes critical comments on German state practice relating to international law, as well as international reactions to that practice. Erscheinungsdatum: 14.10.2015
