Die tradierte deutsche Gesetzgebungslehre kann, wie immer man ihre Leistungen ansonsten beurteilt, die gewaltigen Veränderungen ihres Gegenstandes in neuerer Zeit nicht mehr angemessen erfassen. Ein verändertes staatliches Aufgabenverständnis hat die Privatisierung und Hybridisierung der Normierung befördert, Europäisierung und Internationalisierung haben neue Formen nichtstaatlicher Rechtsetzung durch regulierte Selbstregulierung, Standardisierung, Codes of Conduct und andere Formen von sogenanntem "soft law" entstehen lassen. Staat und Recht sind in vielen Bereichen graduell entkoppelt. Diese Veränderungen sind gleichwohl für ein zeitgemäßes Verständnis des Rechts als Steuerungsinstrument von höchstem Interesse. Sie können konzeptionell nur auf der Basis einer Regelungswissenschaft eingefangen werden, die juristische, sozialwissenschaftliche und Governance-Perspektive vereint. Folke Schuppert verdeutlicht an ausgewählten Referenzgebieten – wie der kooperativen Rechtsetzung, der privaten Standardisierung oder der transnationalen Regulierung – die Erkenntnisinteressen, die Leistungsfähigkeit und die Methodik einer solchen Regelungswissenschaft

Climate change poses one of the greatest challenges for human society in the twenty-first century, yet there is a major disconnect between our actions to deal with it and the gravity of the threat it implies. In a world where the fate of countries is increasingly intertwined, how should we think about, and accordingly, how should we manage, the types of risk posed by anthropogenic climate change? The problem is multi-faceted, and involves not only technical and policy specific approaches, but also questions of social justice and sustainability. In this volume the editors have assembled a unique range of contributors who together examine the intersection between the science, politics, economics and ethics of climate change. The book includes perspectives from some of the world's foremost commentators in their fields, ranging from leading scientists to political theorists, to high profile policymakers and practitioners. They offer a critical new approach to thinking about climate change, and help express a common desire for a more equitable society and a more sustainable way of life.
