Ein Ziel des internationalen Insolvenzrechts ist die weltweite Wirkungserstreckung, sog. Universalität, von Insolvenzverfahren. Danach sollen im Idealfall zum einen alle Gläubiger an einem Insolvenzverfahren beteiligt werden, ohne Rücksicht darauf, wo sie ansässig sind, und zum anderen alle Vermögenswerte des Schuldners einbezogen werden, unabhängig von ihrer geographischen Belegenheit im In- oder Ausland. Julia Harten untersucht rechtsvergleichend, wie sich der grenzüberschreitende Wirkungswunsch im deutschen, englischen, europäischen und U.S-amerikanischen Recht zeigt und inwiefern ein ausländischer Wirkungswunsch anerkannt wird. Dafür analysiert sie das Insolvenzrecht sowie die Regelungen zur internationalen Zuständigkeit, dem anwendbaren Recht und der Anerkennung und Vollstreckung. Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde mit dem Wissenschaftspreis Insolvenzrecht & Sanierung 2023 des Deutschen Anwaltvereins ausgezeichnet

Internationale Geschichte hat sich im Zuge der Globalisierung zu einem lebhaften Feld der Geschichtswissenschaft entwickelt. 20 namhafte Vertreterinnen und Vertreter dieses Forschungsfeldes zeigen, wie sich die Phänomene internationaler Geschichte in den letzten zwei Jahrhunderten gewandelt haben und wie über sie geschrieben werden kann. Sie behandeln Kriege und Instrumente zur Friedenssicherung, staatliche und gesellschaftliche Akteure, globale und transnationale Entwicklungen, schließlich die Versuche, das Gesamtbild der internationalen Staaten- und Gesellschaftswelt ordnend zu erklären. Die Essays bieten eine Bilanz der Forschungen der letzten Jahre und regen mit begrifflichen und methodischen Präzisierungen zu ihrer Weiterentwicklung an.

International audience ; Opinions tribunals dealing with environmental issues have multiplied over the last several years as a consequence of the rise of international environmental law and its promotion by international networks. Drawing on an ethnographic investigation of one of those tribunals—the International Monsanto Tribunal— this article reflects on the many objectives they often pursue: strengthening political positions, publicizing environmental and health social struggles, and promoting legal theories. In our case, we show that articulating those objectives involved intense work to stage the tribunal's legitimacy. We analyze this work and how it was put to the test during and after the sessions of the tribunal. Our article broadly suggests that environmental opinion tribunals are political arenas where rights and identities are not only asserted but also negotiated and legitimized.

The establishment and maintenance of order—that is, of settled rules and arrangements that regulate actors' behavior—is central to politics at all levels, including the international level. Political order, after all, is a requisite for modern human existence. Given the priority of the problem of order, the most important questions that can be addressed in an introductory International Relations (IR) course are those that concern the sources, nature, and historical evolution of international order. But a survey of conventional introductory IR textbooks reveals that these questions are typically dealt with glancingly or ignored altogether. Thus a strong case can be made that conventional IR textbooks overlook a vital aspect of the subject they are intended to cover. This failure appears to arise from an effort by IR textbook authors to explain international politics in terms of timeless dynamics that exist apart from history. But excluding history as a source of explanation comes at a high cost. In effect, it prevents textbooks from adequately weighing the significance of the historically specific bargains that have provided the foundation for international order in modern times.

Analysing developments across antitrust, criminal and human rights law, this text explains how the principles of sovereignty and territoriality have been undermined, and develops a new theory of international jurisdiction based on the concept of subsidiarity
