Download or read book Funktionen des Rechts in der pluralistischen Wissensgesellschaft written by Christian Brünner and published by Böhlau Verlag Wien. This book was released on 2007 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Publikation beschaftigt sich mit den Funktionen des Rechts in einer zunehmend wissensbasierten Gesellschaft. Recht ist zugleich Motor und Regulator in den derzeitigen Transformationsprozessen sowohl in der Wissensproduktion als auch in der Rezeption dieses Wissens auf okonomischer und gesamtgesellschaftlicher Ebene.Eines der umfangreichsten Kapitel ist dem Themenbereich Bildungsrecht und Bildungspolitik in der Wissensgesellschaft gewidmet. Im Bereich des Bildungsrechtes spannt sich der analytische Bogen vom Schulrecht uber das Fachhochschul- bis hin zum Universitatsrecht. Von besonderem Interesse sind dabei u. a. Fragen betreffend Staatsverantwortung und Hochschulsystem und die Umbauprozesse im Hochschulzugang bzw. in der Hochschulzulassung.Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die Frage nach den Funktionen des Rechts in Staat und Wirtschaft. Auch in diesen Bereichen mussen wissensbasierte Veranderungen in ihren rechtlichen und okonomischen Implikationen wissenschaftlich durchdrungen werden. Einerseits hat die Wirtschaft schnelllebige und veranderte Anspruche an die Wissensproduktion (Umweltrecht, Energierecht, Weltraumrecht etc.). Andererseits gerat auch die staatliche Aufgabenbesorgung hinsichtlich der Anwendung wissensbasierter Technologien zunehmend unter Dynamisierungsdruck. Dies bezieht sich nicht nur auf klassische Bereiche des E-Government, sondern auch auf die Bereiche der finanziellen Kontrolle und der politischen Willensbildung. Auf der Ebene der politischen Willensbildung ist daruber hinaus noch ein weiterer signifikanter Veranderungsdruck gegeben, namlich die Verwirklichung geschlechterdemokratischer Strukturen.Minderheiten in einem veranderten gesellschaftlichen Umfeld sind Inhalt eines dritten Themenschwerpunktes. Analysiert werden einerseits die Vorteile fur eine Gesellschaft, die sich dem "diversity"-Gedanken verpflichtet fuhlt, andererseits aber auch die Herausforderungen, die mit der Umsetzung dieses gesellschaftspolitischen Ansatzes verbunden sind. Im Zentrum dieser Uberlegungen stehen insbesondere Religionsvielfalt und Multikulturalitat.
Download or read book Symbolic Constitutionalization written by Marcelo Neves and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this book is the social and political meaning of constitutional texts to the detriment of their legal concretization. Focusing on the discrepancy between the hypertrophically symbolic function of constitutions and their insufficient legal concretization, it offers a critical counterpoint to constitutional theory that treats constitutional texts as a panacea to solving political, legal, and social problems. In contrast to the premises of Niklas Luhmann's systems theory regarding law and constitution in world's society, symbolic constitutionalization is approached here in both a comprehensive and far-reaching perspective. Chapter 1 sets out the debate about symbolic legislation. Chapter 2 explains the notion of symbolic constitutionalization as a problem embracing the whole legal system. Chapter 3 approaches the issue in terms of allopoiesis of law, characterizing it primarily as a problem in peripheral modernity and referring to the Brazilian experience. The final chapter discusses the tendency to a symbolic constitutionalization of world society in the scope of a paradoxical peripheralization of the centre.
Download or read book A Theory of Constitutional Rights written by Robert Alexy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In any country where there is a Bill of Rights, constitutional rights reasoning is an important part of the legal process. As more and more countries adopt Human Rights legislation and accede to international human rights agreements, and as the European Union introduces its own Bill of Rights, judges struggle to implement these rights consistently and sometimes the reasoning behind them is lost. Examining the practice in other jurisdictions can be a valuable guide. Robert Alexy's classic work reconstructs the reasoning behind the jurisprudence of the German Basic Law and in doing so provides a theory of general application to all jurisdictions where judges wrestle with rights adjudication. In considering the features of constitutional rights reasoning, the author moves from the doctrine of proportionality, procedural rights and the structure and scope of constitutional rights, to general rights of liberty and equality and the problem of horizontal effect. A postscript written for the English edition considers critiques of the Theory since it first appeared in 1985, focusing in particular on the discretion left to legislatures and in an extended introduction the translator argues that the theory may be used to clarify the nature of legal reasoning in the context of rights under the British Constitution.

Download or read book A Sociological Theory of Law written by Niklas Luhmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niklas Luhmann is recognised as a major social theorist, and his treatise on the sociology of law is a classic text. For Luhmann, law provides the framework of the state, lawyers are the main human resource for the state, and legal theory provides the most suitable base from which to theorize on the nature of society. He explores the concept of law in the light of a general theory of social systems, showing the important part law plays in resolving fundamental problems a society may face. He then goes on to discuss in detail how modern 'positive' – as opposed to ‘natural’ – law comes to fulfil this function. The work as a whole is not only a contribution to legal sociology, but a major work in social theory. With a revised translation, and a new introduction by Martin Albrow.

Download or read book Law and Governance in Postnational Europe written by Michael Zürn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2005 book argues that Europeanization and globalization have led to ever-more intensive legalization at transnational level. What accounts for compliance beyond the nation-state? The authors tackle this question by comparing compliance with regulations that have been formulated in a very similar way at different levels of governance. They test compliance with rules at the national level, at the regional level (EU), and at a global level (WTO), finding that in fact the EU has higher levels of compliance than both international and national rules. The authors argue that this is because the EU has a higher level of legalization, combined with effective monitoring mechanisms and sanctions. In this respect it seems that the European Union has indeed achieved a high level of legalization and compliance, though the authors add that this achievement does not settle the related queries with the legitimacy of transnational governance and law.

Download or read book Crime and Criminal Justice in Modern Germany written by Richard F. Wetzell and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of criminal justice in modern Germany has become a vibrant field of research, as demonstrated in this volume. Following an introductory survey, the twelve chapters examine major topics in the history of crime and criminal justice from Imperial Germany, through the Weimar and Nazi eras, to the early postwar years. These topics include case studies of criminal trials, the development of juvenile justice, and the efforts to reform the penal code, criminal procedure, and the prison system. The collection also reveals that the history of criminal justice has much to contribute to other areas of historical inquiry: it explores the changing relationship of criminal justice to psychiatry and social welfare, analyzes representations of crime and criminal justice in the media and literature, and uses the lens of criminal justice to illuminate German social history, gender history, and the history of sexuality.
