Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit in Singapur und Indien

European Union and its Neighbours in a Globalized World

This book presents an in-depth, comparative analysis of the legal and social policy challenges arising from EU accession in Central and Eastern European countries, promoting a comparative understanding of the impacts on labour and social security law resulting from participation in the EU.&nbsp;Membership in the European Union has profoundly influenced the development of labour and social security law in the countries that joined it in 2004. Key areas such as anti-discrimination law, working time regulations, rules on posting workers, and work-life balance have undergone significant transformations. EU accession has also reshaped how social security regulations work, while fundamental aspects of employee-employer relations, including collective bargaining and occupational health and safety, have seen notable changes as well.
The book not only addresses the main characteristics and current dynamics of social law regulations in an ever-evolving Europe but also provides valuable insights into methods for addressing these challenges through improved labour regulations.
This book offers an essential resource for understanding the complexities and dynamics of labour and social security law in the context of EU enlargement, offering critical perspectives on both historical developments and future trends.

Großes Lehrbuch

Zum Werk Dieses große Lehrbuch bietet eine umfassende, aktuelle und wissenschaftlich vertiefte Darstellung der Rechtsvergleichung. Als Grundlagenwerk ist es sowohl für Studierende und Doktoranden zur Einarbeitung und Vertiefung geeignet als auch für Wissenschaftler und Praktiker, für die es wichtige Erkenntnisse, Strukturen und Diskussionsbeiträge bereithält. Nach einer allgemeinen Einführung in die Rechtsvergleichung, ihre Vorgehensweise, ihre Beziehung zu Nachbargebieten und ihre Ziele befasst sich das Buch umfassend mit der aktuellen Methodendebatte, die weite Teile der allgemeinen Diskussion über Rechtsvergleichung beherrscht. Dabei wird Wert auf Aktualität gelegt und die große Bedeutung des öffentlichen Rechts ebenso berücksichtigt wie die des Privatrechts. Es erfolgt eine umfassende Darstellung der hauptsächlich rechtsvergleichenden Kontexte:<ul><li>Kontext des common law (mit Betonung der Unterschiede zwischen USA und England und einem Ausblick in andere Länder des common law);</li><li>Grundkontext des kontinentaleuropäischen Rechts (mit Schwerpunkt Deutschland und Frankreich);</li><li>Vielfalt des kontinentaleuropäischen Kontexts (mit Österreich, Schweiz, Spanien, Osteuropa, Skandinavien, Lateinamerika und der Frage der Konvergenz);</li><li>Kontext afrikanischen Rechts (mit staatlichem Recht und einem Schwerpunkt beim traditionellen afrikanischen Recht in seiner heutigen Bedeutung);</li><li>Kontexte in Asien (mit China, Japan/Taiwan/Südkorea, Indien, Indonesien);</li><li>Kontext islamischen Rechts (mit klassischem islamischem Recht und der Rolle islamischen Rechts heute, Exkurs zum jüdischen und kanonischen Recht);</li><li>Kontexte transnationalen Rechts (mit Völkerrecht, Europarecht, lex mercatoria).</li></ul> Vorteile auf einen Blick<ul><li>umfassende und vertiefte Behandlung auch der nord- und osteuropäischen, lateinamerikanischen und nichtwestlichen Rechtsordnungen</li><li>berücksichtigt gleichermaßen Privatrecht und öffentliches Recht</li><li>zur Einarbeitung und Vertiefung gleichermaßen geeignet</li></ul> Zur Neuauflage Für die Neuauflage wurde das Werk umfassend aktualisiert, wurden neue Literatur und Daten berücksichtigt und neue Entwicklungen aufgegriffen. Insbesondere der Abschnitt zu den Methoden der Rechtsvergleichung wurde umgestaltet und um neuere methodische Tendenzen ergänzt, gerade auch um die Grundgedanken der kontextuellen Rechtsvergleichung noch weiter zu verdeutlichen. Neuere Rechtsentwicklungen etwa im kontinentaleuropäischen Recht oder im common law wurden aufgegriffen, die Überlegungen zum russischen Recht deutlich erweitert, der Brexit ebenso berücksichtigt wie etwa Chinas neues Zivilgesetzbuch oder die Rolle Xi Jinpings. Zielgruppe Für mit ausländischem Recht und Fragen der Rechtsvergleichung befasste Hochschullehrerinnen und Hochschullehrer, Rechtsanwaltschaft, Notariate und Richterschaft sowie Studierende und Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden der Rechtswissenschaften.

Rechtsvergleichung

This volume brings together the revised and peer reviewed scientific contributions presented at the 5th Conference on Comparative and International Law (27 June 2025), jointly organized by the Law Center of the Catholic University of Petrópolis (Brazil) and the Society of Juridical and Administrative Sciences.
The book explores the intersections between law, ethics, and human vulnerability through a transnational and comparative lens, addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time: technological risks, equality and responsibility in evolving legal frameworks, and the pursuit of justice in the fields of human rights and international criminal law.
The volume is structured into three thematic parts: (1) Technology, Risks and Global Governance – examining how global administrative law, artificial intelligence, and medical innovations such as xenotransplantation generate both opportunities and existential risks, thereby calling for renewed forms of international regulation and ethical responsibility. (2) Responsibility, Equality and Comparative Legal Perspectives – engaging with philosophical and legal perspectives on responsibility, analysing authority and social hierarchies within civil law traditions, and evaluating the principle of equal opportunities between women and men in electoral law from comparative angles. (3) Justice, Human Rights and International Criminal Law – addressing forgotten or ongoing struggles for justice, the contested authority of the International Criminal Court, and the strengths and limitations of climate change litigation as a mechanism for advancing environmental justice.
The central theme of the book is how legal and governance frameworks can address human vulnerability in a rapidly changing global context, where ethical dilemmas, technological disruptions, and structural inequalities converge. Its relevance lies in its ability to connect theoretical insights (legal philosophy, comparative analysis, ethics) with practical challenges (international justice, technological governance, gender equality), thereby offering both critical reflection and policy oriented perspectives.
The volume aims to contribute to addressing the tension between global responsibility and local governance by providing comparative knowledge and highlighting pathways toward more equitable and accountable systems of law and regulation. The target readership includes academics, researchers, PhD candidates, practitioners in international and comparative law, and policymakers interested in the evolving interplay of ethics, vulnerability, and governance in shaping law’s response to contemporary global challenges.

China Arbitration Yearbook (2024)

This book addresses perhaps the most pervasive, topical and unsettled collection of themes and questions in the contemporary legal world, subsisting in private law and emergent technologies such as digital assets,&nbsp;blockchain and cryptocurrency. Private law frameworks across the globe are struggling to keep pace with rapid technological developments that typify the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This sluggishness is triggering a swathe of important but unanswered practical and theoretical legal questions. These questions concern critical matters of legality, practicality, utility, appropriate regulation, and the underlying theoretical basis for state intervention.This book uniquely combines a variety of themes which have not been the subject of significant writing and which are sure to inform live discourse and regulatory efforts in the space of digital assets and infrastructure,&nbsp;blockchain, cryptocurrency and related emerging technologies. Private law currently finds itself at a crossroads, and governments and courts are frantically searching for guidance as to how to approach the themes and questions addressed in this book. Legal practitioners, scholars and students of the law are equally perplexed as to private law's current and future directions in this space. The book therefore offers essential perspectives that will appeal to legislators, regulators, judges, lawyers, scholars, and students alike.

Private Law, Digital Assets, and Infrastructure

In Europe, the digital landscape is undergoing significant transformations, driven by both technological advancements and regulatory changes. The primary challenges lie in managing the influence of dominant large platforms while striving to create a fairer, more accessible, and competitive European digital market. In response, the European Union has initiated a regulatory revolution with major legislative acts such as the Artificial Intelligence Act (Ai Act), Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA). The book deals with the impact of these regulatory systems in selected Eu Member States.
Given the significance and cross-disciplinary nature of the topic, the book is divided in two main sections. The first section addresses the recently approved Artificial Intelligence Act and its impact on the regulatory framework and administrative systems of the specified Member States. In light of the increasing integration of artificial intelligence within the public sector across Europe, this section examines the existence of national legislation in the relevant countries and its relationship with the AI Act. Furthermore, this section investigates the organizational and institutional changes in the selected countries, as well as the reinterpretation of traditional principles of administrative law or the creation of new ones to align with the provisions of the Regulation. The second section delves into the complex landscape of the newly introduced DMA and DSA, focusing on the various institutional arrangements adopted by Member States and their national competent administrations to support this new EU legal regime. &nbsp;It provides a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the national-level implementation of these regulations and their implications, highlighting the institutional interplay and the complexities of effective regulation in the digital age.

Schriftenreihe Recht der Internationalen Wirtschaft

Die Europäische Insolvenzverordnung hat seit ihrem Inkrafttreten immer mehr an Bedeutung gewonnen; ihre 2017 in Kraft getretene Neufassung wie auch viele Entscheidungen des EuGH zeigen dies deutlich. 

Die mittlerweile 7. Auflage des Standardwerkes berücksichtigt insbesondere die Fülle von Gerichtsentscheidungen - auch und gerade - des EuGH, die seit der letzten Auflage ergangen ist. Die zur Europäischen Insolvenzverordnung veröffentlichte Literatur ist ebenfalls eingearbeitet; mögliche Überlappungsbereiche zu den neuen präventiven Restrukturierungsmechanismen sowie der "öffentlichen Restrukturierungssache" sind eingearbeitet. 

Dabei orientiert sich die Neuauflage des bewährten Kommentars an der Absicht der Kommission, das Restrukturierungs- und Insolvenzrecht zu einer tragenden Säule der Kapitalmarktunion zu machen. Die konsequente Einhaltung einer transnationalen Betrachtung gewährleistet Problemlösungen, die in hohem Maße kompatibel sind mit jeglichen betroffenen Rechtsordnungen.

Lawfulness and Lawfare in the South China Sea

This open access book presents a thorough, multidisciplinary examination of children’s rights in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) with a focus on Lithuania. Pursuing a comparative approach, it explores various aspects of children’s rights as established in constitutional, civil, administrative and criminal law in the region, while also discussing emerging issues. The book shares unique insights into the challenges and progress specific to individual CEE countries, many of which have undergone significant political, social, and legal transformations in recent decades. The comparative analysis of practices and legal frameworks between Lithuania and other countries in the region and across various CEE countries is a key feature of the book. By comparing practices, case law and legal regulations across different CEE countries, it highlights both the diversity and the common challenges in the region. Moreover, such a comparative perspective is invaluable for policymakers, practitioners, and academics in terms of identifying best practices and learning from different countries’ experiences. The respective chapters offer evidence-based insights and recommendations to guide the development of more effective and rights-based approaches to child protection. While aiming to enhance awareness and understanding of children’s rights, the book also seeks to fill a gap in the literature by focusing on the CEE region, an area often underrepresented and overlooked in global discussions on children’s rights. Bringing together a wide range of theoretical and empirical research from Lithuania and other CEE countries, it features contributions by researchers from the Baltic states, Poland, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, and Romania to provide a more holistic understanding of the challenges and advances in children’s rights in the CEE region.

A Comparative Analysis with a Spotlight on Lithuania

Children's Rights in Central and Eastern Europe

Studien und Beiträge zum Öffentlichen Recht

Fundamental rights in the classical sense are based on a principle of primacy: in the overall consideration of entitlement to and obligation under fundamental rights, the human being must always enjoy a higher degree of protection than the state. Fundamental rights never protect the state against its citizens. Simon Diethelm Meyer examines the principle of primacy underlying fundamental rights in the German 
 Basic Law
 (
 Grundgesetz
 ) from an interdisciplinary and comparative legal perspective. In doing so, he develops a conception of fundamental rights that places the human being at the center: the individual is the bearer, not the addressee, of fundamental rights, whereas the state is bound by them, not entitled to them. Both the entitlement of legal persons to fundamental rights and the horizontal effect of fundamental rights can be justified through this principle of primacy. Within the European system of fundamental rights, it is precisely the diversity of fundamental rights regimes that ensures the highest possible degree of protection for human freedom.
 

 Methodologically, the author proceeds in five steps: first, he lays the interdisciplinary foundations of the principle of primacy of fundamental rights. Second, he elaborates this principle in relation to the dogmatics of fundamental rights under the 
 Basic Law
 . The third step provides a comparative legal analysis of the various manifestations of the principle of primacy in the constitutions of other EU member states, the ECHR, and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Fourth, he examines the impact of Europeanization on the German conception of fundamental rights. The fifth step focuses on the protection of freedom within the European system of fundamental rights. Simon Diethelm Meyer concludes with an appeal for greater "courage to be human" in fundamental rights doctrine.

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

This book traces, assesses and compares the history of conscientious objection – in the cultural context of eight developed democratic nations – from refusal of military service and a range of similar moral dilemmas, to objecting to abortion, to vaccination hesitancy and contemporary warfare. It considers the impact of this form of dissent in relation to social movements, social activists and whistle blowers. It reflects on the relationships between the sacred and the secular, the state and the citizen, in order to better understand the responsibilities of citizenship in our increasingly secular societies. It analyses what defines the conscientiousness of an objection from both legal and ethical standpoints. It explores the increased reliance on “grounds of religion, belief or conscience” as providing justification for excusing some citizens from complying with certain responsibilities – mandated by equality and non-discrimination legislation – that are binding for all others. By conducting a comparative evaluation of national law and judicial rulings on a fixed agenda of issues, this book identifies key jurisdictional differences concerning conscientious objection. In so doing, it highlights the importance of cultural context and constructs a jurisdiction-specific overview of legislation, policies and case law. By tracking policy developments and highlighting crucial judicial rulings – particularly in the US – it provides insights into the probable future direction of developments in national law relating to conscientious objection. Lastly, the book draws attention to some of the potential consequences of manifesting dissent by opting out of performing public services: the possible local breakdown of specific service availability (e.g. abortion); prompting population movements as established democratic civil rights are locally negated; fragmenting society into a geographic patchwork of regions in which some citizens are branded as conservative/reactionary and others as progressive. Conscientious objections carry profound implications for a coherent democratic society.
