Constitutionalism in Islamic Countries: Between Upheaval and Continuity examines the question of whether something similar to an "Islamic constitutionalism" has emerged out of the political and constitutional upheaval witnessed in many parts of North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and Southern Asia in order to identify its defining features and to assess the challenges it poses to established concepts of constitutionalism. This book offers an integrated analysis of the constitutional experience of Islamic countries, drawing on the methods and insights of comparative constitutional law, Islamic law, international law and legal history. European and United States experiences are used as points of reference against which the peculiar challenges, and the specific answers given to those challenges in the countries surveyed, can be assessed. Whether these concepts can be applied successfully to the often grim political and social realities of their countries will provide invaluable insights into whether such a fusion can be sustained, and may even pave the way for a new era of constitutionalism in Islamic countries.

Constitutionalism in Islamic Countries: Between Upheaval and Continuity examines the question of whether something similar to an "Islamic constitutionalism" has emerged out of the political and constitutional upheaval witnessed in many parts of North Africa, the Middle East, and Central and Southern Asia. In order to identify its defining features and to assess the challenges that Islamic constitutionalism poses to established concepts of constitutionalism, this book offers an integrated analysis of the complex frameworks in Islamic countries, drawing on the methods and insights of comparative constitutional law, Islamic law, international law and legal history. European and North American experiences are used as points of reference against which the peculiar challenges, and the specific answers given to those challenges in the countries surveyed, can be assessed. The book also examines ways in which the key concepts of constitutionalism, including fundamental rights, separation of powers, democracy and rule of law, may be adapted to an Islamic context, thus providing valuable new insights on the prospects for a genuine renaissance of constitutionalism in the Islamic world in the wake of the "Arab spring."

International financial relations have become increasingly important for the development of global and national economies. At present these relations are primarily governed by market forces, with little regulatory interference at the international level. In the light of numerous financial crises, this abstinence must be seriously questioned. Starting with an analysis of the regulatory problems at the international level, with only minimal powers entrusted to international organisations, this book develops various possibilities for reform. On the basis of an historical analysis, the book first adopts a comparative approach to national attempts to regulate international financial markets, then outlines the potential of relevant institutions and finally develops a policy perspective. It seeks to provide a framework for analysing options for the regulation of international financial markets from a public international law and comparative law perspective.

This comprehensive Research Handbook offers an in-depth examination of the most significant factors affecting compliance with international human rights law, which has emerged as one of the key problems in the efforts to promote effective protection of human rights. In particular, it examines the relationships between regional human rights courts and domestic actors and judiciaries.Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the Research Handbook explores the legal and political considerations that shape compliance, using a combination of both international and comparative law analysis in the assessment of regional human rights regimes. Chapters written by leading scholars and practitioners from around the globe cover a wide range of jurisdictions from Europe, Latin America and Africa and their interactions with regional human rights courts. The Research Handbook also discusses the limits of, and possible alternatives to, compliance as a framework for analysis, offering a fuller understanding of the effectiveness of international human rights law.Scholars, students and practitioners of public international law, international human rights law and comparative law will find this Research Handbook an invaluable resource. It will also benefit officials and lawyers working with international organisations who deal with human rights issues on a regular basis.

Fragen nach dem Inhalt und den Grenzen religiöser Betätigung in der säkularisierten Gesellschaft haben in den letzten Jahren vermehrt die Gerichte und die Öffentlichkeit beschäftigt. Die Autoren des Symposiumsbandes diskutieren in völkerrechtlicher und rechtsvergleichender Perspektive die Probleme, die mit der Verwirklichung der Religionsfreiheit als universalem Konzept an der Schnittstelle von Individual- und Minderheitenschutz in einer von ethnisch-religiösen Gegensätzen geprägten Welt verbunden sind. Die überkommenen grundrechtlichen und staatskirchenrechtlichen Lösungsmuster werden einer kritischen Überprüfung daraufhin unterzogen, inwieweit sie einen wirksamen Beitrag zur Bewältigung der Konflikte leisten können, die sich unter den Bedingungen multireligiöser Gesellschaften zwischen den normativen Anforderungen des säkularisierten Rechts- und Verfassungsstaates und dem Selbstverständnis der Religions- und Weltanschauungsgemeinschaften in wachsender Zahl ergeben.

Die Edition "Ius Publicum Europaeum" behandelt das Verfassungsrecht und das Verwaltungsrecht im Lichte des gemeinsamen europäischen Rechtsraums. Dargestellt werden die Grundstrukturen der nationalen Verfassungen und deren Wissenschaft in repräsentativ ausgewählten Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union.Der vorliegende Band VII vergleicht die europäische Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit in der Perspektive des europäischen Rechtsraums. Er untersucht die Strukturen der Organisation, der Richterernennung, der Verfahren und der Argumentations- und Auslegungsmethoden, ihr Wirken in Staat und Gesellschaft, ihre Legitimität oder ihre Rolle in der Gewaltengliederung und komplettiert damit das Bild nach den Länderberichten in Band VI. Zu dieser vergleichenden Perspektive tritt eine Betrachtung hinzu, die das Verhältnis zum EuGH, zum EGMR und zur Venedig-Kommission sowie deren (verfassungsgerichtliche) Funktion beleuchtet. Der Band widmet sich schließlich den Herausforderungen, mit denen sich die Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit im europäischen Rechtsraum aktuell konfrontiert sieht. Es werden historische, politische und theoretische Grundlagen und dogmatische Grundzüge der Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit so dargestellt, dass die Diskussion um deren Rolle und weitere Entwicklung in diesem Rechtsraum nachhaltig befruchtet wird.

Keine ganze EwigkeitDer neue Roman von Rainer GroteIst dies das Ende der Welt?"Was wäre, wenn…?" lautet die Kernfrage dieses spannenden Romans, dessen Handlung in der brisanten Zeit, die wir gerade durchleben, gar nicht so weit hergeholt zu sein scheint, denn auf Knopfdruck könnte alles ein jähes Ende nehmen.

Rainer Grote zeichnet zunächst die Entwicklung und Funktion der im staatsrechtlichen Positivismus und in Auseinandersetzung mit ihm vertretenen Organlehren für die Interpretation staatsorganisatorischer Grundstrukturen nach. Anschließend erstellt er eine umfassende Bestandsaufnahme der Hauptanwendungsgebiete verfassungs- und verwaltungsrechtlicher Organstreitverfahren im geltenden Recht unter Einbeziehung rechtsvergleichender und europarechtlicher Aspekte. Auf dieser Grundlage wird im dritten Teil der Versuch einer Klärung von Inhalt, Funktion und Durchsetzungsmodalitäten subjektivierter innerorganisatorischer Rechtspositionen unternommen. Der Autor untersucht, ob und in welchem Umfang konkrete innerorganisatorische Berechtigungen sich materialen Organisationsprinzipien wie dem Demokratie- und dem Gewaltenteilungsprinzip zuordnen lassen, die über ihre kompetenzielle Ausformung im Staats- und Verwaltungsorganisationsrecht den zuständigen Verfassungs- und (Selbst-) Verwaltungsorganen ein jeweils abgestuftes Maß an politischer oder zumindest funktionaler Autonomie vermitteln und damit als regulative Prinzipien der intra- und zwischenorganschaftlich ablaufenden Kommunikationskreisläufe fungieren. Er zeigt auf, welche Folgerungen sich daraus für eine Weiterentwicklung der prozessualen Grundlagen des Organstreits ergeben.
