Wer entscheidet darüber, wie der Einzelne ein gutes und vernünftiges Leben führt – der Einzelne selbst oder "Vater Staat"? "Governmental Paternalism" entfaltet die rechtlichen Grenzen paternalistischen Staatshandelns anhand von Beispielen aus dem europäischen Datenschutzrecht und der sozial verantwortlichen Vergabe öffentlicher Aufträge. Dabei werden zwei unterschiedliche Typen staatlicher Paternalismen herausgearbeitet, der beschützende und der erzieherische Paternalismus. Für beide Formen greifen je spezifische verfassungsrechtliche Maßstäbe ein, die der Eigenverantwortlichkeit des Einzelnen breiten Raum geben und wohlgemeinten staatlichen Umsorgungen Grenzen setzen. Es zeigt sich: Nur ein selbstbestimmt geführtes Leben ist ein gutes Leben.Das Buch ist aus dem internationalen und interdisziplinären "Enhancing Life"-Projekt der University of Chicago in Kooperation mit der Ruhr-Universität-Bochum hervorgegangen.

Der Digital Services Act (DSA) weist der Europäischen Kommission (KOM) eine zentrale Rolle bei der Beaufsichtigung der sehr großen Online-Plattformen und Suchmaschinen zu. Den Chancen, die eine derart zentralisierte und selbstbewusste europäische Aufsicht mit sich bringt, stehen strukturelle Herausforderungen in Bezug auf die Kapazitäten und Sachkenntnisse der KOM, ihre Vollzugsbefugnisse und die Koordination mit den mitgliedstaatlichen Stellen gegenüber. Der Beitrag untersucht die Frage, wie der Unionsgesetzgeber die Rolle der KOM als Aufsichtsbehörde ausgestaltet hat, und ob und inwieweit er dabei die genannten strukturellen Herausforderungen angemessen adressiert hat.

This entry has been realised in the framework of the H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018 project "LoGov - Local Government and the Changing Urban-Rural Interplay". LoGov aims to provide solutions for local governments that address the fundamental challenges resulting from urbanisation. To address this complex issue, 18 partners from 17 countries and six continents share their expertise and knowledge in the realms of public law, political science, and public administration. LoGov identifies, evaluates, compares, and shares innovative practices that cope with the impact of changing urban-rural relations in five major local government areas: (1) local responsibilities and public services, (2) local financial arrangements, (3) structure of local government, (4) intergovernmental relations of local governments, and (5) people's participation in local decision-making. The present entry addresses local responsibilities and public services in Germany. The entry forms part of the LoGov Report on Germany. To access the full version of the report on Germany, other practices regarding responsibilities and public services and to receive more information about the project, please visit: https://www.logov-rise.eu/. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 823961.

Abstract
The State bears a certain responsibility for the consequences of digitalizing public administration and services. The principles of democracy and the rule of law demand that the state retains effective control over the digitalized performance of ist tasks. This "digital responsibility" of the State also has an impact on the application of public procurement rules governing the procurement of information technologies and services (IT). On the one hand, ensuring digital responsibility will often mean that the contracting authority needs a broad margin of appreciation when interpreting the rules of procurementlaw – for examplewith regard to the legal requirements for choosing special procurement procedures enabling a particulary flexible IT procurement. On the other hand, the contracting authority's digital responsibility can also be turned against it: When involving, for instance, private parties in the preparation of substantial decisions concerning the procurement of IT, the authority must keep itself well informed and may not simply take over prepared decisions. This way, the digital responsibility of the State can be (and should be) used as a distinct legal argument under public procurement law.
