"The fourth volume of the Max Planck Handbooks in European Public Law series compares European constitutional jurisdiction in the perspective of the European legal space. It examines the structures of the organization, the appointment of judges, the procedures and the methods of argumentation and interpretation, their impact on state and society, their legitimacy or their role in the division of powers, and thus completes the picture following the country reports in Volume III. This comparative perspective is supplemented by an examination that illustrates the relationship to the ECJ, the ECtHR and the Venice Commission as well as their (constitutional) function. Finally, the volume is devoted to the challenges currently facing constitutional jurisdiction in the European Legal Space. The historical, political, and theoretical foundations as well as the basic doctrinal features of constitutional jurisdiction are presented in such a way that the discussion about its role and further development in this legal space is sustainably stimulated"--

For decades, countries have pursued nuclear weapons by taking many different paths toward or away from the bomb. Those paths have been difficult to predict because they are defined not by security or wealth, but by the decisions leaders make to accelerate or reverse their nuclear weapons programs. Nuclear decisions are made within a complex political information environment that affects how security concerns and the value of a nuclear weapons programme are understood. By examining nine fascinating country case histories, this book elucidates the key factors that shape the decision-making environment.

Mit vorliegendem Buch wird im Rahmen nicht nur eines von der EU aus dem ISF geförderten Projektes ein polykriminelles Konglomerat adressiert, das sich zuvörderst auf illegale Ausgrabungen, den Handel mit diesen Kulturgütern sowie insbesondere auf Fälschungen von Artefakten - Originalfälschungen - bezieht. Dass illegale Ausgrabungen und vor allem transnationaler Handel mit derart erlangten Objekten nicht einhergehen mit geltendem Recht, ist unzweifelhaft. Zugleich kann dies, ebenso wie die Anfertigung vermeintlicher originaler Kulturgüter, Gegenstand des Gewinnstrebens - mittels Geldwäsche - krimineller Netzwerke und/oder terroristischer Gruppierungen sein, mag jedoch in Teilen politische Hintergründe haben. Insbesondere wird auf den westlichen Balkan eingegangen, namentlich Albanien, basierend auf projekt- und ermittlungsbezogenen Erkenntnissen aus den Jahren 2013-2023.Durch diese thematische Mehrschichtigkeit sowie Auswirkungen auf die geschichtlich-gesellschaftlichen Dimensionen der Ausbeutung und Verfälschung von Kulturgütern wird ein (nicht nur strafvollzugsbezogenes) Tätigkeitsfeld definiert, auf das die EU aus einer Vielzahl darzulegender Gründe verstärktes Augenmerk legt

'Living with the Invisible Hand' explores the crucial role the market plays in how institutions shape our lives. Waheed Hussain demonstrates how markets, just like states, act as systems of governance. The market coordinates activities of production and consumption, constantly readjusting to changing circumstances. In doing so, it changes the option sets open to individuals, drawing them into patterns that can bypass their private judgments about the merits these patterns hold. This text provides a starting point for a different way of thinking about economic life.

Almost one hundred years have passed since Walter Lippmann and John Dewey published their famous reflections on the "problems of the public," but their thoughts remain surprisingly relevant as resources for thinking through our current crisis-plagued predicament. This book takes stock of the reception history of Lippmann's and Dewey's ideas about publics, communication, and political decision-making and shows how their ideas can inspire a way forward.Lippmann and Dewey were only two of many twentieth-century thinkers trying to imagine how a modern industrial democracy might (or might not) come to pass, but despite that, the "Lippmann/Dewey debate" became a symbol of the two alleged options: an epistocracy, on the one hand, and grassroots participation, on the other. In this book, distinguished scholars from rhetoric, communication, sociology, and media and journalism studies reconsider this debate in order to assess its contemporary relevance for our time, which, in some respects, bears a striking resemblance to the 1920s. In this way, the book explains how and why Lippmann and Dewey are indispensable resources for anyone concerned with the future of democratic deliberation and decision-making.In addition to the editor, the contributors to this volume include Nathan Crick, Robert Danisch, Steve Fuller, William Keith, Bruno Latour, John Durham Peters, Patricia Roberts-Miller, Michael Schudson, Anna Shechtman, Slavko Splichal, Lisa S. Villadsen, and Scott Welsh
