Eichler J: An Interdisciplinary Journey
from Non-Discrimination to Collective Ri

An Interdisciplinary Journey from Non-Discrimination to Collective Rights

A Critique of Equality

Global Perspectives on Civil Justice

This book offers a historically grounded study of judicial precedent as a source of law across major stages of Western legal development. Beginning with Roman law, it follows the changing role of judicial decisions through Visigothic law, the ius commune, Hispano-Portuguese legal tradition, and the formation of common law, before turning to modern debates on legal sources, legal reasoning, and the authority of courts. Rather than treating precedent as a phenomenon confined to a single legal tradition, the book examines how it assumes different forms and degrees of force in distinct legal orders, including both binding and persuasive authority. The study also situates these developments within broader transformations in legal thought, engaging with questions raised by codification, legal positivism, and the historical school. Its final chapters connect this long historical trajectory to the Brazilian legal experience and to contemporary discussions on the theoretical status of precedent in civil-law systems. Combining legal history with sustained conceptual analysis, the book develops an integrated account of precedent as a recurring and structurally significant feature of adjudication.

Judicial Precedent as a Source of Law

This book offers an original and interdisciplinary critique of determinism in science, evolution, religion, and legal thought, arguing that chance, contingency, and facticity cannot be reduced to causal necessity, probability, or unknown scientific laws. Moving across philosophy of law, legal theory, philosophy of science, evolutionary theory, eugenics, religion, normativism, and rhetoric, this book examines how modern knowledge systems have repeatedly attempted to deny or control chance through scientific laws, religious belief, evolutionary narratives, and legal norms. It challenges the ambition to transform the humanities into predictive sciences and questions reductionist accounts of human behavior, social order, and legal interpretation. At its core, this book rethinks law not as a closed system of norms governed by a single correct interpretation, but as a rhetorical and social system for treating endogenous conflicts within legal communities. By analyzing determinism, causality, the limits of science, the risks of pre-eugenic reasoning, human exceptionalism, decolonial continuity, customary law, legal norms, precedents, and judicial decision-making, this book develops a distinctive contribution to philosophy of law and legal epistemology. It will be of particular value to scholars and students in jurisprudence, legal theory, philosophy of law, law and humanities, philosophy of science, and interdisciplinary legal studies seeking a rigorous account of how chance and rhetoric shape law, society, and human affairs.

Law and Chance

Völkerrecht, Europarecht und Vergleichendes Öffentliches Recht - International Law, European Law and Comparative Public Law

Der Ukraine-Konflikt hat viele Elemente des modernen Völkerrechts auf den Prüfstein gestellt. In diesem Zusammenhang ist auch die Frage wieder aktuell geworden, ob das völkerrechtliche Neutralitätsrecht noch mit dem modernen Völkerrecht in Einklang zu bringen ist. 
In diesem Band beleuchten Experten und Expertinnen aus Österreich, der Schweiz, Deutschland und Italien diese Frage aus völkerrechtlicher, öffentlichrechtlicher, europarechtlicher und historischer Sicht. Sie kommen zu dem Ergebnis, dass im Friedensrecht der Vereinten Nationen eine Verpflichtung zur solidarischen Parteinahme zugunsten des Opfers einer Aggression besteht. Neutralität kann letztlich auch die Sicherheit der Neutralen gefährden.

Rechtstheorie - Legal Theory

RTh (Mohr Siebeck)

Global value chains exist in the blind spots of legal doctrine and are hence marked by a diffusion of responsibility. For private law, this entails a methodological challenge that is exemplary for dealing with globalisation - that is, to apprehend global value chains in both their economic and societal dynamics.

Zur sozialen Aufgabe des Rechts der Globalisierung

Rechtsverfassung globaler Produktion

This innovative deeply researched book, critically examines the failures of international law in addressing severe human rights violations, particularly enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions. This book argues that international law in a variety of areas, is ineffective and in need of reform. Through the lens of enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions in international law, the book explores the weaknesses of the state-centric human rights system, emphasizing that states-often the primary violators-are responsible for ensuring compliance and enforcement. The book first examines the recent scourge of enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions in a number of states, particularly those that have occurred transnationally. Through a detailed analysis of comparative state practice, including rising rates of transnational repression, the book highlights systemic deficiencies and later proposes various reforms to strengthen global human rights protection. The book advocates for an integrated approach, merging international humanitarian law, human rights law, and international criminal law to enhance enforcement and accountability. The book reviews why using an integrated approach to tackling violations will result in far better protections, arguing that abandoning a silo approach to international law and applying international human rights law and international humanitarian law together, especially in the context of international criminal law, will yield far better results. How greater integration can be achieved in theory, is examined. Also reviewed, are how international bodies that work on arbitrary detentions and enforced disappearances, do so in practice. The key challenge that is taken up is how international law can be improved to ensure that the worst violators can be made to comply with international law. For that reason, a series of recommendations are made in the conclusion about what can be done to remedy the deficiencies noted throughout the book. The book argues that much needs to be done to reform international law as well as the processes and mechanisms that provide oversight and accountability.

Remedying International Law and Institutions

Enforced Disappearance and Arbitrary Detention

Palgrave Studies in Marketing, Organizations and Society

This book examines the historical evolution from marking or branding products for ownership purposes to branding products in order to promote the brand itself. In the extreme, some modern brands so strongly promote their brand image or personality that there is little emphasis on promoting the branded products themselves. Central to this evolution is the development and protection of brand identifiers, such as names, logos, and more, as well as the development of registration and conflict-resolution systems to resolve disputes regarding brand identifier similarities. 


The author meticulously navigates the historical evolution of brand marketing, elucidating the manner in which this practice has evolved over time. To get a sense of how much brand marketing has grown, he examines advertising expenditures, the scholarly and professional literature, a few case studies, and the growing number of brand identifier registrations and disputes. He examines several legal areas including trademarks, unfair competition, copyrights, design patents and even antitrust law. In modern times, the legal system not only enables brand marketing but sets limits on it as well. The book concludes by examining some modern developments that are testing the limits. 


Catering to researchers vested in the realms of advertising and marketing history as well as law, this landmark text provides a thorough survey of brand marketing and its regulatory landscape.

A Legal Perspective on the History of Brand Marketing

From Marking Products to Marketing Brands

This book examines how a mandatory UN oversight mechanism can influence State behaviour and legal reform in one of the world’s least studied regions. It reveals that the Human Rights Committee’s (hereafter: HRCtee) State reporting procedure is far more than a formal obligation: it operates as a sustained process of dialogue, persuasion, and normative pressure.

By following the reporting cycles from the late Soviet era through the post-independence submissions of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan over nearly five decades, the monograph uncovers how the process has shaped domestic debate, made room for civil society engagement, and contributed to legislative and institutional change. Drawing on a combination of field research, documentary evidence, interviews with government officials, civil society activists and experts, as well as direct observation of HRCtee sessions, the book highlights both the visible — such as references to the Committee’s interpretation in legal acts — and more subtle forms of influence, including gradual shifts in discourse, expectations, and administrative practice.

What distinguishes this book is its exclusive focus on the reporting mechanism itself, rather than the more frequently analysed individual complaints procedure. It shows how structured dialogue, interpretative guidance, and reputational incentives can lead to the gradual internalisation of norms, even in contexts marked by political sensitivity, limited transparency, and post-Soviet bureaucratic legacies. Spanning the USSR’s ratification of the ICCPR in 1973 to the contemporary engagement of the Central Asian states with the UN treaty body system, the volume traces a narrative of resistance, adaptation, and institutional learning.

The book is intended for scholars, experts, practitioners, and policy actors interested in how international oversight influences domestic change, and offers practical insights for those seeking to engage with treaty bodies, strengthen domestic reforms, or assess the real-world effects of international human rights monitoring.

Palgrave Studies on Sentencing

Exploring Regional Characteristics and Common Challenges

Sentencing in Latin America

This book offers new perspectives on two key themes: the criminal law of sexual consent and the temporalities of law. It uses detailed feminist analysis to investigate how the kinds of time produced by statutes and court decisions are vital to constructing the gendered, liberal, legal subject. By shedding light upon a contested and multi-faceted legal issue, it demonstrates that more expansive temporalities are the precondition for a richer, relational understanding of consent. This book's fresh approach to sexual consent is developed using the law of England and Wales but is relevant to all jurisdictions where consent is an element of sexual offences law. Its distinctive approach to legal temporalities has the potential to be applied to other areas of law, providing insight into both current law and possibilities for reform.

Explores law’s constructions of time, illuminating key problems for sexual consent law and offering potential solutions.
