Vollenweider S: Das Rad des Fortschritts

Das Rad des Fortschritts

Vom Hochrad zum Benz-Motor

This book provides an overview of male violence against women and the failure of the legal system. 

Male violence against women is pervasive. From the bedroom to the boardroom; from the home to the hospital; from the court to the care home, women are subject to male violence. The legal response to this is weak. The violence is either invisible or downplayed. This book explains why and how the law can do better. 

It explores how violence in different settings reinforces and magnifies the abuse in others. Too often violence against women is considered in silos (sexual assault; domestic abuse; street harassment, etc.). The book argues that they must be seen on a continuum. It brings out the common themes, but also the subtle differences in context between the scenes of violence. In doing so it argues that we cannot understand an incident of male violence against women without understanding the broader context within which that takes place. The book claims that the legal response to male violence against women downplays the severity of the harm or even fails to recognise it. 

This is a must-read for those interested in criminal law, gender politics, and feminist approaches to law. It is only when the true nature of the problem is grasped that the law can start to provide an effective response to it. This book shows how a better and more effective law can be found.

Flannery O'Connor on Writing

Providing everything you need to know about the law governing gambling in the UK, an expert team offers practical guidance covering all key areas.

Smith and Monkcom on the Law of Gambling

In recent decades, doctrinal, theoretical, and sociological legal research on women's rights - as well as, more broadly, on law and gender from an intersectional perspective - has increasingly come into focus. The requirements of protection, the scope for action, and the equality of women, as well as the legal conceptualization of womanhood, are the subject of intense debate, with differing emphases across legal systems. Time and again, these fundamental rights to freedom and equality have been denied, and they are currently being questioned worldwide, particularly by illiberal and authoritarian regimes. Against this backdrop, the volume brings together current research topics on women's fundamental rights: their theoretical reconstruction, their doctrinal implementation, their enforcement in different legal contexts, and their intersectional dimensions. The contributions are organized into four thematic sections and stem from the legal conference "Female Fundamental Freedoms," held in November 2025 as a symposium of the Research Center for Fundamental Rights at the University of Bayreuth. The aim is not to provide a comprehensive account of this complex discourse, but rather to offer impulses for reflection on key contemporary questions of Female Fundamental Freedoms and to encourage further inquiry. 
 The volume first explores the historical and theoretical foundations of fundamental rights from a feminist and intersectional perspective. It then addresses the fundamental question of womanhood as a legal category and as a point of reference for fundamental rights, drawing on selected examples from current debates. Third, it examines fundamental issues of equality in the workplace, with particular attention to experiences of intersectional discrimination. Finally, it highlights key aspects of the far-reaching legal field of reproductive rights and situates them within an international context.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book undertakes a unique enquiry into the puzzling doctrine of undisclosed agency. Following an introduction to the doctrine and those issues that its conceptual uncertainty poses for commerce, it then charts a course through the core categories of obligations: contract, equity, tort, and unjust enrichment. In each case, various theses are explored in detail in order to identify the most robust, compelling, and commercially-appropriate rationalisation of undisclosed agency. It brings much needed clarity to a complex field of private and commercial law.

Fire Safety Law and Practice provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the legislative framework that governs fire safety in England and Wales. Taking into account the significant amendments that have followed the tragic events of Grenfell Tower, it explains who is subject to duties under the order and what those duties are. It then deals with enforcement, covering the duties on enforcing authorities and the investigatory powers available to them, before looking at both the bringing of criminal proceedings and the powers to issue alteration, prohibition and enforcement notices. Accessible to both those new to the field and experienced legal practitioners, and to fire safety inspectors as well as risk assessors, it serves not only as a reference work, but also provides a detailed practical guide for those working in this area on a daily basis. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Company and Commercial Law online service.

Bainbridge on Information Technology and Intellectual Property Law

Warum gibt es keine verpflichtenden Regelungen, die für ein ausgeglichenes Verhältnis von Frauen und Männern in deutschen Parlamenten sorgen? Thüringen und Brandenburg hatten sie eingeführt. Die Landesverfassungsgerichte kippten die Beschlüsse 2020 wieder. Dabei öffnet das Grundgesetz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland einer verpflichtenden Parität in allen Parlamenten eigentlich Tür und Tor. Es regelt in Art. 3 Abs. 2, dass der Staat zur Verwirklichung der tatsächlichen Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern in allen Rechts- und Lebensbereichen verpflichtet ist und bestehende Nachteile beseitigen muss. Für viele Juristinnen und Juristen sowie Politikerinnen und Politiker ergibt sich hieraus die Verpflichtung des Gesetzgebers, für eine Erhöhung des Frauenanteils in den Parlamenten zu sorgen. Seit einigen Jahren erreichen erste Klagen die Verfassungsgerichte - bislang noch ohne Erfolg. 
Die erfahrene Gutachterin und Klägerin im juristischen Ringen um ein Paritätsgesetz, Prof. Dr. Silke R. Laskowski, erklärt in dieser Studie, warum ein paritätisches Wahlgesetz auf der Grundlage von Art. 3 Abs. 2 S. 1 und S. 2 GG in Verbindung mit dem Demokratiegebot in Art. 20 GG nicht nur verfassungsrechtlich zulässig, sondern zur Stabilisierung und Weiterentwicklung der Demokratie auch 'geboten' und 'zwingend erforderlich' ist. Rechtsvergleichend richtet sie den Blick auch auf Europa. Sie ermutigt den Gesetzgeber, im Rahmen der aktuellen Wahlrechtsreform auch die Parität zu verankern.

Verfassungsrechtliche Diskussion über wahlrechtliche Paritätsgesetze. Ein Rechtsgutachten

Wächter der Ungleichheit?

This landmark collection provides new insights, concepts and techniques to understand and respond to tort claims based on illegal conduct. It is the first comparative study of this difficult field, which has remained contested despite numerous decisions of the highest courts in the common law world. The collection draws on scholars from common law and civilian jurisdictions spanning Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa and Sweden. Together they set out fact patterns, and justifications for tort liability to illustrate the coherence and unity that exists when courts address such claims. While common law legal systems have developed a specific defence of illegality for some of those fact patterns, civilian jurisdictions tend to see illegality operating, if at all, through the existing components of tort liability. The book explains how these different approaches have been reached, how they work, and what they reveal about reasoning in tort.
