Die religiöse und weltanschauliche Landschaft in Deutschland ist von einem vielfältigen Pluralismus geprägt. Neben den traditionellen Religionen haben sich eine Vielzahl von weiteren Gruppierungen gebildet, die den Anspruch haben, Religions- oder Weltanschauungsgemeinschaft zu sein. So sind Gruppen wie Scientology, Osho und viele andere seit längerer Zeit auf dem religiös-weltanschaulichen Markt im Angebot. Unter diesen finden sich auch Spaßreligionen und satirisch geprägte Gruppen wie die ¿Kirche des Fliegenden Spaghettimonsters Deutschland e.V.". Es stellt sich die Frage, ob solche Gruppen den Schutz der Religionsfreiheit des GG genießen können, also ob diesen tatsächlich eine Religion und Weltanschauung zugrunde liegt und sie sodann auch Religions- oder Weltanschauungsgemeinschaft im Sinne des Grundgesetzes sein können. Mit den Voraussetzungen dafür setzt sich dieses Werk anhand des Beispiels der ¿Kirche des Fliegenden Spaghettimonsters Deutschland e.V." auseinander.

In this pioneering monograph based upon extensive primary research, Gottschalk and Hamerton explore and evaluate the developing global field of internal investigations within complex organizations. Applying an offender-based perspective, the authors explore the central role of convenience in seeking to inform, improve and develop policy and practice. A comparative interdisciplinary work, with extensive coverage of European, North American, African and Asian paradigms, The Internal Review of Corporate Deviance presents empirical fieldwork supplemented by the detailed analysis of a large number of internal reviews produced on completion of internal investigations. The aggregate research gathered considers offender motive, conformance, potential damage and recovery of the corporate social license, and convenience themes, while critically assessing investigation effectiveness and review maturity - as both successful and deficient practice. In doing so, the book presents a close analysis of the field to identify, position, and reveal the strategic role of internal review and impact of the social license on contemporary conceptions of white-collar deviance and crime. This book will be of interest to scholars of criminology, business management, law and sociology, along with practitioners and professionals within allied disciplines.

"Anger was the engine of justice in the ancient Greek world. It drove quests for vengeance which resulted in a variety of consequences, often harmful not only for the relevant actors but also for the wider communities in which they lived. From as early as the seventh century BCE, Greek communities had developed more or less formal means of imposing restrictions on this behaviour in the form of courts. However, this did not necessarily mean a less angry or vengeful society so much as one where anger and revenge were subject to public sanction and sometimes put to public use"--

This book examines the constitutional treatment of national security in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. These four states share their Commonwealth heritage and are members, alongside the USA, of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance. The book takes a comparative approach to the institutions through which, and tools with which, these four states seek to protect their national security against the threats of both terrorism and hostile state activity and how they have evolved over time. It identifies and examines the various specialised institutions, inside and outside of legislatures, which have grown up to oversee the exercise of public power for national security purposes while maintaining the required secrecy. It argues that the extent of the borrowing and sharing between these jurisdictions in the domain of national security, now and in the past, permits us to talk about a Commonwealth model of national security constitutionalism.

This book provides histories of company law, uniting a variety of approaches from law, business and management, economics, and history.What were the origins of company law? How did it begin? Why did it change? There is no single answer to these questions. Each discipline, and sub-discipline, has a different approach and method that brings different facets of study to the fore. This multidisciplinary endeavour is immensely valuable for debates taking place now among policy-makers in the UK and US about returning to historic modes of company regulation. The book brings together Anglo-American scholarship that will not only shed greater light on the history of company law but also influence contemporary debates about our ability to return to, or learn from, the past. Historical research has great value here because it not only generates new insights into the evolution of present legal rules, but also corrects misunderstandings and misapprehensions about them. The book shows how this body of law developed to become the rules with which we are now familiar. It showcases antecedents of present debates, reveals regulatory lessons from previous legal regimes, identifies instances of path dependency, unpicks pivotal legal events, and explains drivers for legal change. The chapters reevaluate the history of company law, and the knowledge gathered here will inform the law-making and policy-making agenda.
