Hope A: Wo wir uns treffen

Wo wir uns treffen

Roman

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.

Key Ideas in Law

This book provides an account of the most important and controversial aspects of the principle of legality in the United Kingdom. The principle of legality describes a method of statutory interpretation that empowers courts to prevent fundamental common law values from being overridden by unclear legislation. However, it makes more sense to think of multiple principles of legality, rather than a single concept. The book provides a fresh and detailed perspective on a controversial aspect of the common law. It will be useful for students of law and politics, legal practitioners and scholars. It explores the many complexities surrounding the historical origins, fields of application, mode of operation, and subject matter of the principle of legality. Despite its long history, the term 'principle of legality' only began to be used in public law cases towards the end of the twentieth century. More recently, judicial references to the principle of legality in high profile constitutional law cases have fuelled broader concerns about judicial overreach. The book argues that these concerns are unfounded, and deeper principles of legality are required.

Handbuch der Testamentsvollstreckung

This is the essential practitioner's guide to animal welfare and animal protection law in the Crown Court and magistrates' courts of England. Animal law is a roughly stitched patchwork of domestic acts, regulations, orders and statutory codes, interlaced with international treaties, regulations and directives. The resultant body of law is immense: with acts still in force today dating back to the 1800s and dozens of enabling clauses permitting the tapestry constantly to evolve. Sometimes prosecutors use the law to protect animals, for instance by prosecuting those thought to have abused them. Other times defence advocates are those protecting animals, for instance by defending allegedly dangerous dogs from destruction. This guide sets out the law and provides practical advice for those on either side of the courtroom. The guide's primary focus is on criminal cases that concern kept animals, farmed animals, animals in science, wild animals, dangerous dogs and animal protection activists. It also features chapters on related civil orders in the magistrates' courts, as well as a practical chapter on funding in animal-related cases. This is the only guide of its kind, written as a handbook for frontline practitioners in England's criminal courts. It draws on decades of experience and is written by two experts, in consultation with an array of specialists in each practice area. This makes it a must-have book for anyone practising or wishing to practise animal welfare or animal protection law.

Animal Welfare and Animal Protection Law - A Practitioner’s Guide

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.

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

Experimental Rural Development in the Global South

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.

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

This book applies the approach and methodology of 'Resilient Property Theory' (RPT), bringing together leading scholars to develop and test new approaches to housing and its relationships to private property and environmental sustainability. RPT analyses problems through multiple lenses, paying attention to the web of intersecting issues and stakeholders involved in contemporary housing studies: individuals (owners, tenants, precariously housed, homeless), aggregated interests (neighborhoods, communities, markets, social movements), and the state itself across its multi-layered actors, agencies and institutions (local/city; regional; national; transnational). It focuses on seeking out solutions that enable the production of resilience for different stakeholders and promote resilience within housing systems. This book focuses on providing greater synergy amongst a diverse range of perspectives, across disciplines (law, economics, history, political science) across a range of jurisdictions (US and Canada, England and Wales, Scotland, Europe, Australia and South Africa) and sets out to find sustainable solutions.

The Future of Housing

Neue Kleine Bibliothek

Der globale Kapitalismus befindet sich in der Dauerkrise. Globale Finanzkrise, Eurokrise, 'Flüchtlingskrise', Corona­krise, Krise im Ergebnis der neuen Kriege von der Ukraine bis Nahost: Kaum scheint ein Krisenherd unter Kontrolle, schlägt die Dauerkrise aus einer unerwarteten Richtung zurück. Durch die Krisen verändert sich jedoch, wie schon immer in der Geschichte, auch der Kapitalismus selbst: Neoliberale Weltordnung und unangefochtene US-Hegemonie waren einmal. In den Konflikten um Aufstieg und Abstieg von Großmächten wird der Kapitalismus postliberal: Ent­demokratisierung, Autoritarismus, (Wirtschafts-)Nationalismus, Militarismus, Imperialismus und (Wirtschafts-)Krieg sind die neue Normalität. Am Horizont zeichnen sich die Konturen eines neuen Kalten Kriegs mit Aussicht auf heiße Stellvertreterkriege und Eskalation ab. Aber können die großen Menschheitsfragen wie Frieden, Sicherheit, soziale Ungleichheit, sozialer Zusammenhalt, Demokratie, Nachhaltigkeit, Klimaschutz und Artensterben warten? Ingar Solty zeigt Ursachen und Hintergründe der Krise auf - und Alternativen für eine bessere Zukunft für alle.
