Manfred Weiss – författare

Der 2023 verstorbene, national und international hochgeschätzte Rechtswissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Spiros Simitis war nicht nur Pionier des Datenschutzrechts, sondern hat auch in anderen Rechtsgebieten wie etwa im Arbeits-, Familien- und Produkthaftungsrecht, in der Rechtsgeschichte und -theorie, im Europarecht und in der Rechtsvergleichung wichtige Weichen gestellt. Diese weisen in ihrer Aktualität weit über seinen Tod und den Zeitpunkt der Erforschung hinaus. Das Werk versammelt die ergänzten und überarbeiteten Beiträge renommierter Wegbegleiter:innen, die auf der zentralen Gedenkveranstaltung im Januar 2024 an der Goethe-Universität präsentiert wurden. Die Beiträge stellen eindrucksvoll Simitis‘ weit verzweigtes Lebenswerk dar und würdigen seine Persönlichkeit. Sie arbeiten vor allem die Zukunftsperspektive in den verschiedenen Bereichen heraus und verweisen auf die besondere Qualität der rechtswissenschaftlichen Arbeit von Spiros Simitis, dem interdisziplinären Zugriff, der sozialwissenschaftliche, ökonomische, psychologische und philosophische Überlegungen mit einbezieht. Kurzum: Der Band trägt dazu bei, die überragende Bedeutung dieses Universalgelehrten für die Entwicklung gegenwärtiger und zukünftiger Rechtswissenschaft zu verstehen.Mit Beiträgen vonProf. Dr. Gerhard Dilcher | Prof. Dr. Klaus Günther | JustizMin a.D. u RiBVerfG a.D.

Substantial progress has been made in the last 15 years in the areas of European economic, social and monetary integration, aided by social dialogue on employment and industrial relations at the international level. To be truly effective, the social dialogue has to be underpinned by an awareness of the different national industrial relations systems.

This two-volume series sets out to provide information on the varied systems found across the EU, describing and analysing the key elements and concepts of industrial relations in the different Member States, from a comparative perspective.

The contributions focus on three principal aspects of comparative industrial relations: an analysis of the strikingly similar pressures for industrial relations in each country; the degree to which the institutional arrangements have retained their national identities despite such pressures; and the evolution of industrial relations within this context.

Countries covered in this volume are: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain.

Thirty-three distinguished authorities in the field of labour and industrial relations law gather here to enhance and complement the work of the late Marco Biagi, a man who, at the time of his violent and untimely death, had shown himself to be the most insightful and committed international scholar in this complex and controversial – and, as it proved, even dangerous – field.

The topics covered range over many of Professor Biagi’s special interests, including the following:

There is a lot of insight, innovation, and just clear thinking in this wide-ranging and far-reaching book. It will be of exceptional value to scholars, lawyers, and others concerned with the extensive and unpredictable changes under way in today’s world of work.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on Germany not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting.

Both individual and collective labour relations are covered in ample detail, with attention to such underlying and pervasive factors as employment contracts, suspension of the contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as well as international private law. The author describes all important details of the law governing hours and wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade union activity, employers’ associations, workers’ participation, collective bargaining, industrial disputes, and much more.

Building on a clear overview of labour law and labour relations, the book offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It will find a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with interests in Germany, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations.
