This book reassesses A V Dicey's legacy in political and legal thought through the reflections of leading scholars who consider his importance not only in today's British constitutional and legal culture but also in other foreign constitutional cultures.Every student in law and in politics, every law faculty and most legal practitioners s in the world are aware of who Albert Venn Dicey (1835-1922) was and what he wrote. Yet, this fame does not mean that Dicey's legacy is not controversial and debated in the present world. This book considers why Dicey's late Victorian constitutional and political thinking is still alive. In spite of all the transformations that have taken place in public law in the UK in the last hundred years, the book argues that Dicey managed to grasp and to crystalise something of the British political identity and culture. Hence the long-lasting fire-power of his constitutional and political thinking. The book also considers that there is something even more prescient in Dicey's writings, for the UK but also for countries that have adopted his understanding of the rule of law and/or of parliamentary government. Dicey identified one of the most fundamental political issues at stake: the nature of the relationship between public law and democracy. The book looks closely at the alliance between public law and democratic spirit. This alliance needs to be reassessed from a legal, historical and comparative perspective. This edited collection, gathering authors from different countries, from various legal systems and from diverse backgrounds, tackles this task.

This book examines the role, impact, and limitations of regulation as a tool for shaping innovative markets.It contends that the current supply-centred approach is suboptimal in the context of digital innovation and proposes a blueprint for a more demand-conscious approach to regulation. The focus on the demand-side is prompted by the evolving role of consumers within the innovation process in the digital and data-driven economy, the regulatory implications of which are underexplored in legal scholarship.The book features in-depth case studies of the most recent regulatory initiatives in the EU, including Open Banking, the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and the AI Act. It dismantles innovative regulatory instruments, and critically examines their underlying assumptions from an innovation perspective. The new demand-based approach informs the design and use of supply-side market centred tools, behaviourally-informed demand-side instruments, and technological regulation, by introducing a coherent set of demand-centred considerations.The book offers a regulatory toolbox recalibrated for the digital age and serves as a practical guide for academics, policymakers, regulators, and legal practitioners seeking to understand and engage with the regulation of innovative markets.

Non-Western perspective on the international history of intellectual property rightsPolitics in Publishing focuses on Japan's involvement in shaping international copyright law over a seventy-year period following the country's 1899 accession to the Berne Convention, the first multilateral copyright treaty. During this time, Japanese state officials collaborated with various stakeholders such as publishers, translators, and legal experts to strategically influence the international revision process of the treaty. The involvement of these actors in international organizations such as the League of Nations and the United Nations affected global copyright norms even as Japan advanced its imperial - national after 1945 - and capitalist interests. Taking a previously lacking non-Western perspective on the history of international copyright law, Politics in Publishing highlights the complex interplay between state and private actors and between domestic and international power relations, as well as administrative transformations in the formation of the modern, global international order. Grounded in an impressive body of primary source material, this book will make a substantial contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship on intellectual property, and copyright history in particular. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

Stiftungen werden immer häufiger zur langfristigen Vermögensplanung genutzt. Regelmäßig versuchen Stifter, sich oder den Destinatären einen größtmöglichen Einfluss auf die Stiftung vorzubehalten, um auch nach der Stiftungserrichtung die Geschicke ihres ehemaligen Vermögens bestimmen zu können. Diese Einflussnahme auf die Stiftung als eigentümerlose juristische Person wirft jedoch verschiedene Probleme auf und lädt dazu ein, den Schutz von Gläubigern, Ehegatten und Pflichtteilsberechtigten zu unterlaufen. Gleichsam wird dem Einfluss bei der steuerrechtlichen Einkünftezurechnung ggf. nicht angemessen Rechnung getragen. Daher untersucht diese Arbeit verschiedene Einflussmöglichkeiten sowie die sich hieraus ergebenden Probleme und geht der Frage nach, ob und in welchem Umfang Stiftungen transparent behandelt werden können. Da die liechtensteinische Stiftung schon lange als Prototyp der beeinflussten Stiftung gilt, wird das deutsche Recht mit dem liechtensteinischen Recht verglichen.

Ein Prozess im kollektiven Rechtsschutz endet regelmäßig mit einem Vergleich, der einer vorherigen Genehmigung durch das Gericht bedarf. Das Verfahren der gerichtlichen Genehmigung des Musterfeststellungsvergleichs ist hierbei weitestgehend unerforscht und bedarf der Konkretisierung durch Wissenschaft und Rechtsprechung. Der Autor untersucht in seiner Arbeit, welche Aufgabe das Gericht im Rahmen der gerichtlichen Genehmigung übernehmen muss und verfolgt dabei das Ziel, den noch unbekannten Prüfungsprozess des Gerichts zu ermitteln. Hierbei wird mithilfe eines rechtsdogmatischen Ansatzes unter anderem erforscht, unter welchen Voraussetzungen eine gerichtliche Genehmigung erfolgen darf, welche Mittel dem Gericht bei seiner Prüfung zur Verfügung stehen und welche Grenzen dem Gericht durch das Gesetz vorgegeben werden. Die hierdurch gewonnen Erkenntnisse dienen als Grundlage zur Konkretisierung des gerichtlichen Prüfungsumfangs für Vergleiche nach dem Verbraucherrechtedurchsetzungsgesetz.

In einer zunehmend vernetzten und globalisierten Weltwirtschaft gewinnt das Peer-to-Peer Lending (P2P-Lending) als alternative Finanzierungsform für Verbraucher und Unternehmer an Bedeutung. Eva Katharina Dauke widmet sich der Thematik des P2P-Lending im Internationalen Privatrecht und unterstreicht die Relevanz dieses Forschungsfeldes, da es grundlegende Fragen aufwirft, die die Schnittstelle zwischen Finanzdienstleistungen und grenzüberschreitender Rechtsgestaltung betreffen. Neben der Betrachtung ausgewählter nationaler Rechtsordnungen und der EU Verordnung über Schwarmfinanzierungsdienstleister untersucht die Autorin, wie die komplexe grenzüberschreitende Natur des P2P-Lending das internationale Privatrecht vor neue Herausforderungen und Probleme stellt. Die analysierten Probleme werden abschließend in Lösungsvorschläge überführt, mit dem Ziel, eine rechtssichere und einheitliche kollisionsrechtliche Betrachtung des grenzüberschreitenden P2P-Lending zu gewährleisten.
