Download or read book Lower League Football in Crisis written by Daniel Ziesche and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the field of football studies has produced an abundance of literature on professional, top-league football, there is little research output to do with the non-top level football. This book explores the relationship between the top and lower leagues, laying open the drastic schisms that exist between the different levels. The study links the developments at the top level of English and German football in the past 30 years to transformational processes in lower league football. Illustrating how the hegemonic status of top football weighs hard on the spheres below, it depicts how it also serves as a blueprint for lower league football clubs’ strategies in coping with a threefold dilemma of institutional legitimacy that shows itself in economic, cultural and social dimensions. Taking the different club structures in both national contexts as a starting point, it portrays both the efficacy of institutional frameworks and how these can be challenged from below. This research will be of interest to students and scholars across football studies, sports studies, the sociology of sport, and organisation studies.

Book excerpt: This book explores the contributory liability of Internet intermediaries that arises from trademark infringements committed by third parties on the Internet, providing a comprehensive analysis of the law applicable to the matter in an EU context. It also considers the applicable laws of Germany and England to demonstrate how the rules are implemented in national laws, as the current state of the law is two-tiered. In providing a framework of the law applicable to online contributory trademark liability, the book also addresses ongoing and emerging issues that are specific to trademark law and proposes specific solutions to the issues arising in the context of online contributory trademark liability. The liability of Internet intermediaries has been a popular and lively subject from different substantive rights’ angles. However, trademark law has not received a great deal of attention from either scholars or legislators. As such, this book fills a gap in the literature by undertaking a trademark-specific examination, and will be of great interest to all those involved in the research and legal practice of trademark law.
