On 10 March 2023, John Vervaele retired as professor of Economic and European criminal law at Utrecht University. On the occasion of that farewell, this liber amicorum was presented to him. It comprises 85 contributions, written in a variety of languages by friends, colleagues and former colleagues from all over the world.00In keeping with the tradition of the Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology, the contributions are arranged around the following themes, which have also been central to John's work: criminal justice, core values and human rights; crime, criminology and criminal justice; criminal justice and European integration; corporate crime and the enforcement of socio-economic law; and conflicts and transitional justice.00The contributions are very worthwhile for an academic audience, as well as for legal practitioners

Verlagsinfo: "Queer Ear brings together for the first time a collection of music theorists who issue queer challenges to both music theory and musicology. To queer musicology, which has often presumed that music theory has nothing valuable to contribute to queer music studies, we demonstrate how music theory can be appropriated for queer ends. We show that queerness is integral to our music-theoretical practice, and can change the field of music theory. Queers have always listened widely, repurposing straight sounds for the "queer ear," a concept which stands in contrast with queer soundings, by queer composers, who are also investigated in this volume. Privileging provisional, idiosyncratic, and nonnormative listening practices, a queer ear enables us to counter music theory's hoary and continuing tendencies towards rationality, unity, unilinearity, teleology, and logical certainty. What unites the investigation of queer ear and queer soundings is the repurposing of "hard" music-theoretical apparatuses, as well as "soft" apparatuses like narratology and cultural theory, for queer ends. These repurposings contribute to the search for general principles-or a "theory"-of queering that counters mainstream music theory's proclivities, encouraging everyone to experiment with queer ways of listening instead. But ultimately, the queer ear is an expression of what queers have always had to do, often learning from a young age to collect scraps from our families's heteronormative table, recycling and reusing bits and pieces of an often hostile world to build habitable futures for ourselves. Through the lenses of queer temporality, queer narratology, and queer music analyses, we examine a wide variety of sounds from Sun Ra to Cowell, Czernowin, and Henze, as well as Schubert and Schumann; theories ranging from Schenker to queer shame, disability studies, and posthumanism; and writings from Edward Cone to Edward Prime-Stevenson"--

"All human societies, from prehistory through to today, have been characterized by some degree of economic inequality. Arguably, complex societies would not have thrived if they had been unable to concentrate and redistribute resources effectively. We frequently talk about the top 5% or 1% today but, as Guido Alfani explains in this book, concerns about the rich and super-rich and their potential to influence contemporary politics and society are nothing new - just take the Medici family and Renaissance Tuscany as one example. The medieval theologian Nicole Oresme's fear of the super-rich individual acting "as God among men" resonates with much of what present-day economist Thomas Piketty cautioned against in his landmark Capital in the Twentieth Century. As Gods Among Men represents the first scholarly attempt to provide a general overview of role and significance of the rich and the super-rich in the long run of history. With a focus on the West, particularly Europe and North America, Alfani's research spans a thousand years of history. He draws from a wealth of comparative data, as well as insights gleaned from the latest research in economic history, sociology, and anthropology, to show how society's problematic relationship with the super-rich cannot be fully understood without a careful analysis of the ways in which they have built their enormous wealth, and how they have used that wealth to gain influence. Alfani highlights important aspects of their behavior, such as their attitudes toward saving and consumption, or their propensity to act as patrons of the arts and of the sciences or as benefactors of the weakest part of society, to build up a profile of the richest members of our society and to trace patterns throughout history, underlining elements of both continuity and change over the period."

Der Tagungsband dokumentiert die Vorträge, die auf dem JuWissDay 2022 in Hamburg gehalten wurden. Die Beiträge nehmen die Notwendigkeit größerer Klimaschutzambitionen für Städte in den Blick und verbinden zwei dynamische Regelungsfelder: die Technikentwicklung mit der zunehmenden Autonomisierung technischer Komponenten und das Umwelt-, Klima(schutz-) und Nachhaltigkeitsrecht. Aktuelle Entwicklungen mit einem Fokus auf Städte werden in den Referenzgebieten des Energie-, Bau-, Fachplanungs-, Verkehrs- und Infrastrukturrecht ebenso betrachtet wie grundlegende Fragen zu Klimaschutz und Innovationen.

Klappentext: DER SPIEGEL-BESTSELLER IN EINER AKTUALISIERTEN UND ERWEITERTEN NEUAUFLAGE. Mit Russlands Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine hat der spätestens seit der russischen Annexion der Krim im Jahr 2014 schwelende Konflikt zwischen beiden Staaten die höchste Eskalationsstufe erreicht. Seit dem 18. Jahrhundert zeigte sich im Verhältnis dieser eng miteinander verbundenen Völker zunehmend eine Asymmetrie. Sie gipfelte darin, dass Russland im 19. Jahrhundert die "Kleinrussen", wie die Ukrainer damals offiziell hiessen, nicht als eigenständige Nation mit einer von Russland getrennten Geschichte anerkannte. Diese Sicht hat sich in Russland bis heute erhalten und ist auch im Westen verbreitet. Dagegen erzählt Andreas Kappeler die Geschichte dieser ungleichen Brüder als Wechselspiel von Verflechtungen und Entflechtungen. Nicht zuletzt trägt es zum Verständnis der aktuellen Eskalation bei. Mit einem neuen Kapitel, das die Entwicklungen von der russischen Annexion der Krim 2014 bis heute nachzeichnet.(Verlagsinformation)
