Mendes-Flohr P: Love Is Strong as Death

Love Is Strong as Death

A Biography of Franz Rosenzweig

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Previously known as Drafting Agreements in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries, this title provides precedent agreements for the main types of commercial transaction encountered in the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to the print version, each precedent is available via an accompanying website in a format which can be easily downloaded and edited. Detailed commentary on legal, commercial and practice issues accompanies every precedent. Provided by specialist lawyers from across Europe, this commentary also highlights important differences between English law and that of other key EU jurisdictions: Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Commentary on specific considerations for the US is also provided. In addition to precedent commentaries, the book also contains detailed commentary and discussion of legal issues common to the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as links to relevant materials (eg regulatory materials on clinical trials). This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Intellectual Property and IT online service.

Judicial Systems of the World

The Israeli judiciary stands as one of the most respected institutions of the country's democratic system—yet also one of its most contested. Its structure, functions, and constitutional foundations shape debates on governance, rights, and the rule of law. This book offers a detailed analysis of the judiciary's historical development, its guiding legal principles, and the challenges it faces in a rapidly evolving legal and political landscape.

Tracing its historical development and the legal principles that underpin its operation, The Judicial System of Israel explores the constitutional and statutory framework that shapes judicial practice. It examines fundamental concepts such as due process and open justice, the jurisdiction of courts and tribunals, and the unique role of the Supreme Court. Readers will gain insight into the sources of law applied by the courts, the character of the legal profession, and the principles of legal culture and process.

Beyond its foundational analysis, the book explores the realities of judicial work, ethics, and discipline, while confronting the challenges posed by a rapidly changing world. From technological innovation to proposals for institutional reform, it considers what the future may hold for the judicial system of Israel. Offering fresh insights into these pressing issues, it is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in comparative law and democratic governance.

Russland, China, USA, NATO – wie geht es weiter in der Welt?Die Zukunft erscheint offener, furchteinflößender als vor wenigen Jahren. Wie sie aussieht, hängt nicht nur von Russland und den USA ab, sondern von einer großen Anzahl von Akteuren. Wir bekommen so das Gefühl zurück, dass auch wir eine Rolle in unserer eigenen Zukunft spielen, indem wir uns bewusst machen, was wir tatsächlich wissen, was wir nicht wissen und durch Annahmen ersetzt haben, und vor allem, welche Handlungsoptionen es gibt.Florence Gaub lädt dazu ein, selbst außenpolitische Entscheidungen zu treffen: Anstatt nur Zuschauer mehr oder weniger plausibler Szenarien zu sein, folgt man unterschiedlichen Entscheidungspfaden. Das Buch vermittelt Einblicke in mögliche Entscheidungsprozesse und ein Gefühl der Selbstbestimmung.So wird Außenpolitik konkret und anschaulich: Krisenherde, Handlungsmöglichkeiten, Folgen

Die Zukunft steht auf dem Spiel | Ein interaktives Buch: Welche Gefahren bedrohen Frieden und Freiheit? | Nominiert für den Deutschen Sachbuchpreis 2026

Szenario

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) actively rebuilds the natural environment, with a conservation approach that transcends the traditional mitigation of environmental impacts, emphasising the enhancement and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. Biodiversity Net Gain Law and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal frameworks and policies that govern the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. This book explores the intersection of environmental, planning, and development laws and highlights how these regulations work together to ensure sustainable development and conservation efforts. It covers key legislation such as the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the National Planning Policy Framework. Through case studies, legal analysis, and policy discussions, this book illustrates the practical applications and challenges of implementing biodiversity laws, and compares their success in the UK, Europe, India, Australia, Japan and South Africa. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.

Die Angst vor einem Atomschlag ist spätestens seit Putins Angriff auf die Ukraine zurück – und damit auch die Frage der atomaren Abschreckung. Nachdem die Atombombe jahrzehntelang als ein Relikt längst vergangener, düsterer Zeiten galt, befinden wir uns plötzlich wieder in einem neuen Nuklearzeitalter, in dem die Bombe Staaten auf der ganzen Welt mehr denn je als Lebensversicherung erscheint.Bekanntlich ist Deutschland keine Atommacht, konnte sich aber seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg unter dem Schutzschirm der USA wähnen. Diese Gewissheit bröckelt in einer Welt, in der Putin, Trump und Xi Jinping das Sagen haben. Wie soll Deutschland darauf reagieren? Der Sicherheitsforscher Ulrich Kühn beleuchtet die wiedererstarkte Anziehungskraft atomarer Bomben und widerlegt sechs populäre Mythen, die in Politik und Gesellschaft zum Thema Atomwaffen noch immer herrschen. Er zeigt, was wirklich hilft in einer unsicheren Welt, was man heute über Atomwaffen wissen muss und welchen Weg Deutschland jetzt gehen sollte.

This classic textbook provides a thorough overview of European private international law. It is essential reading for students and practitioners of private international law and transnational litigation, wherever they may be located: the European rules extend beyond European shores. Opening with foundational questions, the book clearly explains the subject's central tenets: the Brussels I, Rome I and Rome II Regulations (jurisdiction, applicable law for contracts and tort). Additional chapters explore private international law and insolvency, freedom of establishment, and the impact of private international law on corporate social responsibility. The relevant Hague instruments, and the impact of Brexit, are fully integrated in the various chapters. Drawing on the author's rich experience, the new edition retains the book's hallmarks of insight and clarity of expression, ensuring it maintains its position as the leading textbook in the field.
