Das Medium des Rechts ist seine Sprache: Ohne Wörter und Sätze kein Paragraph und kein Gesetzbuch, kein anwaltlicher Schriftsatz und kein richterliches Urteil. Die Juristerei ist im Kern ein Kampf um Begriffe. Der diesjährigen Aufsatzwettbewerb lädt dazu ein, Rechtssprache einmal aus einer anderen Perspektive zu betrachten: In welcher Sprache sollen Gesetze formuliert sein? Mit welcher Sprache sollen Juristen Recht denken, finden und sprechen? Konkret: Ist die Rechtsprache eine Fachsprache, die nur Eingeweihten zugänglich ist und sein soll? Oder können und...

Manche Auseinandersetzungen innerhalb einer Zivilgesellschaft werden schnell sehr emotional geführt und ziviler Ungehorsam wird als probates und/oder (einzig?) effektives Mittel zum Erreichen oder zur Abwehr bestimmter Ziele angesehen. Hierfür stehen etwa die „68er“, „Brokdorf“, „Gorleben“, „Hambacher Forst“, „Black Lives Matter“, „Fridays for Future“ und ganz aktuell die Aktionen der „Letzten Generation“. Personen mit unterschiedlichen Wertvorstellungen begegnen sich nicht nur friedlich und unvoreingenommen im Diskurs. Die Grenzen des Rechtsstaats werden ausgetestet. Doch wo verlaufen sie? Wahrnehmung berechtigter Interessen durch friedliche Sitzblockade...

The book and the authors remind us that we must finally act together before it's too late is." Marcus Seyfarth, Chairman of the Foreign and Security Policy Study Groups e.V."The...

Argula von Grumbach, née von Stauff, dared to enter public space as a woman. By defending the young Magister Arsacius Seehofer, who was influenced by Lutheran ideas, she challenged not only the scholars of the University of Ingolstadt, but the entire Catholic establishment. The conference volume brings together essays that deal with the first Reformation writer as well as with her family and other female "border crossers". But it also opens numerous windows into an extremely exciting, energetic time, into...

Pharmacoepidemiological databases are a very useful tool, without which well-directed quality improvements and targeted risk management of adverse drug effects would not be possible. Data from such retrospective databases allow investigations into specific subpopulations - e.g., groups with specific diagnoses - thanks to their size and duration of observation. Regarding the quality of such data, it has been proven that carefully planned observational studies can produce results comparable to those of randomized controlled trials. This book presents eight epidemiological and...

As one of the hotspots of the world in the last decade of the 1990s the Western Balkans required energetic Western engagement designed primarily to settle the conflicts and then to guide the nations in the region in creating and sustaining democratic political institutions which were expected to cushion intra-national tensions and to serve to the normalization of inter-state relations. However, despite almost two-decade-long Western guidance, assistance and conditionality, as many experts point out, the Western Balkans is still an...
