The Internet is not an unchartered territory. On the Internet, norms matter. They interact, regulate, are contested and legitimated by multiple actors. But are they diverse and unstructured, or are they part of a recognizable order? And if the latter, what does this order look like?This collected volume explores these key questions while providing new perspectives on the role of law in times of digitality. The book compares six different areas of law that have been particularly exposed to global digitality, namely laws regulating consumer contracts, data protection, the media, financial markets, criminal activity and intellectual property law. By comparing how these very different areas of law have evolved with regard to cross-border online situations, the book considers whether cyberlaw is little more than "the law of the horse", or whether the law of global digitality is indeed special and, if so, what its characteristics across various areas of law are. The book brings together legal academics with expertise in how law has both reacted to and shaped cross-border, global Internet communication and their contributions consider whether it is possible to identify a particular mediality of law in the digital age.Examining whether a global law of digitality has truly emerged, this book will appeal to academics, students and practitioners of law examining the future of the law of digitality as it intersects with traditional categories of law.

Dieser Band enthält die Referate und Diskussionen der Tagung der Deutschen Staatsrechtslehrer in Saarbrücken vom 4.-7. Oktober 2017.

Die Erzeugung, Organisation und Vermittlung von Informationen im Kontext staatlichen Handelns und damit die Herstellung von staatlicher Handlungsfähigkeit in der modernen Wissensgesellschaft ist über weite Strecken rechtlich determiniert. Sie hat in der hergebrachten Verwaltungsrechtsdogmatik aber noch keine hinreichend umfassende Berücksichtigung gefunden, auch wenn im verwaltungsrechtlichen Diskurs Schlüsselbegriffe wie "Information", "Kommunikation" und "Wissen" mittlerweile eine prominente Rolle spielen. Die Autoren der Beiträge in diesem Band thematisieren die rechtliche Regulierung der Generierung und des Transfers von Informationen in den verschiedenen Bereichen des Verwaltungsrechts, wobei sie die Anschlussfähigkeit der vorhandenen informationsrechtlichen Regularien an hergebrachte rechtsdogmatische Ansätze ebenso verdeutlichen wie den bestehenden Bedarf nach der Entwicklung neuer Rechtsfiguren und Systematisierungen.Damit die dabei angestellten Überlegungen aber nicht an dem praktischen Problemlösungsbedarf vorbeigehen, bedarf es des Dialogs mit anderen Disziplinen. Daher konfrontieren Vertreter aus verschiedenen Bereichen der Ökonomie, der Soziologie und der Psychologie die rechtswissenschaftlichen Beiträge mit den Erkenntnissen ihres Fachs und nehmen zugleich die juristischen Darlegungen als Anregungen für ihre eigene Disziplin auf.
