Politik und Gesellschaft sind in zunehmendem Maße gezwungen, auf Krisen schnell zu reagieren. Gesetze sind hierfür oft zu schwerfällig und träge. So entstehen in zahlreichen Lebensbereichen Regelwerke, die nicht vom Parlament als typische Gesetze erlassen wurden. Häufig findet sich die diffuse Klassifizierung als unverbindliches Soft Law, das sich den Kategorien von Rechtsdurchsetzung und Zwang entziehen soll. Rechtstatsächlich hingegen entwickeln jene Regeln diverse Formen rechtlicher Relevanz und faktischer Bindung. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Erkenntnis präsentiert das Werk einen neuen Versuch der rechtstheoretischen Einarbeitung atypischer Regeln in die Rechtsquellenlehre. Dabei rückt der Autor von der Dichotomie der Rechtsquellen ab und stellt das Konzept Adaptiver Rechtsquellen vor, um unter Zuhilfenahme eines Beweglichen Systems derlei Regeln dogmatisch belastbar durchdringen zu können.Der Autor ist Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter an der interdisziplinären Forschungseinrichtung Augsburg Center for Global Economic Law and Regulation (ACELR) und beschäftigt sich seit 2008 mit der Erforschung rechtlicher Rahmenbedingungen und Steuerungsmechanismen wirtschaftlicher Prozesse

The Community impact on private international law (PIL) began to be felt in the late 1990s. A phenomenon that would become a visible reality through an exponential increase in legal texts of community origin on issues related to PIL. Such was anchored in the concern to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market and the need to regulate private relationships that went beyond the limits of each state, enhanced by the freedom of movement (people, goods, services and capital), one of the cornerstones of European Union. This study aims to reflect on the creation of the International Law European Private and its impact on state PIL. A literature review will be conducted in order to understand the evolution of this reality after the Treaties of Amsterdam and Lisbon. We will use a deductive and speculative reasoning anchored the views expressed by the doctrine, law and jurisprudence. We will try to demonstrate the disuse of the classic PIL (of state origin) in relation to the community PIL.

The last decade of the twentieth century was a heyday for the development of international norms and agreements. Non-state actors and states joined together in codifying new international standards in areas as diverse as arms control, war crimes, human rights, violations, environmental protection, sustainable development, and trade. The twenty-first century opened with an abundance of international law but a dearth of international institutions for monitoring or implementing it. Thus compliance has become a major challenge of the new millennium, and this volume addresses compliance issues from the most general and theoretical to the specifics of key case studies. From around the world, the distinguished authors of these original essays tackle some of the most urgent challenges to international law today, ranging from child soldiers in Africa to American exceptionalism. ; https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1302/thumbnail.jpg

For many, the end of this week marks the passage of a six-month period of American history characterized by throbbing dystopian existential dread. The pandemic has been the score to a dark production that, when the spotlight was hot, turned out to be a series of character studies that no one asked for nor were particularly interested in watching. With hundreds of thousands dead and millions more left with lives permanently affected by the virus, the richest among us have become much richer not just during the pandemic, but because of it, and many who were thriving at the start of this year now find themselves evicted from their homes with nowhere to go. What's more, police brutality and systemic injustice have packed our streets with protesters demanding meaningful change. Looting and rioting have occurred, which has motivated the federal government to respond with force not just against people violating the law, but against reporters and peaceful protestors as well. Against this backdrop of chaos, the President of the United States clenches his fist and calls for "law and order."

The biannual update on national legislation and case law is an important tool in promoting the exchange of information on national measures for the implementation of international humanitarian law (IHL).

Thomas Hobbes wrote extensively about law, was strongly influenced by legal debates, and is considered by many to be one of the first legal positivists. Larry May presents the first book in English on Hobbes's legal philosophy, offering a new interpretation of Hobbes's views about the connections among law, politics, and morality

The latest development concerning the metaphorical use of the fairy tale is the legal perspective. The law had and has recourse to fairy tales in order to speak of the nomos and its subversion, of the politically correct and of the various means that have been used to enforce the law. Fairy tales are a fundamental tool to examine legal procedures and structures in their many failings and errors. Therefore, we have privileged the term "fables" of the law just to stress the ethical perspective: they are moral parables that often speak of justice miscarried and justice sought.Law and jurists are creators of "fables" on the view that law is born out of the facts (ex facto ius oritur) so that there is a need for narrative coherence both on the level of the case and the level of legislation (or turned the other way around: what does it mean if no such coherence is found?). This is especially of interest given the influx of all kinds of new technologies that are "fabulous" in themselves and hard to incorporate in traditional doctrinal schemes and thus in the construction of a new reality.

Rechtsverstöße sind im Kapitalmarktrecht mittlerweile regelmäßig unter namentlicher Nennung des Rechtsverletzers zu veröffentlichen. Während man darin international häufig einen geschätzten Sanktionsmechanismus sieht, begegnet man diesem Instrument in Deutschland äußerst kritisch und versteht es überwiegend dezidiert nicht als repressive Sanktion, sondern als rein präventive Maßnahme.Der Verfasser unternimmt den Nachweis, dass diese Veröffentlichungen entgegen der bislang vorherrschenden Ansicht repressiver Natur sind. Dazu systematisiert er die einschlägigen Normen und begründet, weshalb die Einordnung anhand der jeweiligen Veröffentlichungszwecke zu erfolgen hat und für die Rechtsanwendung bedeutsam ist. Nach einer Erläuterung des Spektrums denkbarer Ziele und einem Exkurs zur kartellrechtlichen Veröffentlichung von Verstößen widmet der Verfasser sich ausführlich den einzelnen Normen. Abschließend ordnet er das Rechtsinstitut rechtsökonomisch und rechtspolitisch ein.
