¿Das hohe und dynamische Wachstum der chinesischen Wirtschaft und der erfolgreiche Übergang von einer zentral geplanten Wirtschaft zur Marktwirtschaft in den letzten vier Jahrzehnten gehen mit der rasanten Entwicklung und einer großen Transformation des chinesischen Bankensektors einher. Dies hat zur Folge, dass sich das chinesische Bankenaufsichtsrecht zu einem interessanten Forschungsgebiet entwickelt. Um aussagekräftigere Untersuchungsergebnisse zu erzielen, wurde das deutsche Bankenaufsichtsrecht unter dem Einfluss der europäischen Vorgaben als Vergleichsgegenstand ausgesucht. Die rechtsvergleichende Reise geht von der historischen Entwicklung der Bankenaufsicht aus ins geltende Bankenaufsichtssystem über die Marktzugangsaufsicht hinaus bis hin zur laufenden Aufsicht über die Bankgeschäfte, um die Suche nach einer besseren Bankenaufsicht zu inspirieren. Diese Dissertation wurde mit dem Dr. Feldbausch-Förderpreis im Jahr 2023 ausgezeichnet.

Der Erwerb eines Unternehmens im Krisen- oder Insolvenzumfeld stellt die beteiligten Parteien regelmäßig vor eine Vielzahl rechtlicher Probleme und Risiken, insbesondere im Vergleich zu einer regulären Unternehmenstransaktion.

El gravísimo y traicionero ataque terrorista de Hamás -traicionero como cualquier acto de terror- para cegar la vida y la integridad personal de los habitantes de Israel y sus ejecutores lo celebran, como una fase que sigue a la guerra de agresión del presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin contra el pueblo ucraniano, ha motivado al autor de este libro, Asdrúbal Aguiar A., escritor, académico, profesor de derecho internacional, quien fue juez interamericano, embajador, gobernador, ministro y presidente encargado de Venezuela, a releer y editar los ensayos que lo componen. Explica que tales acontecimientos han revivido en él los momentos cruciales de principios del presente siglo, cuando junto a un grupo de intelectuales y diplomáticos, algunos de los cuales han fallecido, se esforzaron, a petición del director general de la UNESCO, por redactar un proyecto frustrado de declaración universal sobre el derecho humano a la paz. Los dos textos, "Perfiles éticos y normativos del derecho humano a la paz" y "La paz, un derecho humano", fueron desarrollados de hecho durante la génesis de este tiempo desligados de los lugares y del tiempo, cultivando la instantaneidad que deslocaliza y deshumaniza, extinguiendo todo sentido de trascendencia. "Tal vez ayuden o sirvan de instrumento de reflexión y crítica para quienes aspiran -según el giro orteguista- a capturar el bosque sin detenerse a mirar los árboles evidentes".

An unprecedented breakdown of the NYPD’s powerful network of policeunions, pro-police lawyers, and top brass who work relentlessly to shield policeofficers from any real accountability.For readers of long-form, hard-hitting journalistic exposés like We Own This City, acompelling look at how we do—and don't—hold police responsible in America, by anaward-winning progressive reporter covering the NYPD police beatIn 2018, reporter Michael Hayes uncovered a major story about how the NYPD was not only turning a blind eye to police misconduct, but also allowing hundreds of officers with severe misconduct charges to remain on the force. In the aftermath of that story, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio attempted to reform the department only to abandon his plans.While de Blasio may have suffered a political setback, it’s New Yorkers who are the true victims of this failure to deliver accountability and transparency. The state has a law that specifically prevents the public from learning about concealed police records. New Yorkers are increasingly distrustful of the police after witnessing their loved ones being targeted, brutalized, and murdered with near impunity.Hayes takes readers inside decades of police corruption and controversial laws, chronicling the stories of the families and activists who have had enough. He makes a compelling case for the limits of reform in the aftermath of the major Black Lives Matter rallies following the murder of George Floyd and growing calls to defund the police.

Be inspired by this grassroots civil rights lawyer's quest for democracy, equality, and justice Born in 1947 and raised in rural South Carolina, Lewis Pitts grew up oblivious to the civil rights revolution underway across the country. A directionless white college student in 1968, Pitts committed to military service and was destined for Vietnam. Five years later--after a formative period in which he underwent an intellectual and moral awakening, was discharged as a conscientious objector, and graduated from law school--he embarked on an unlikely forty-year career as a crusading social justice attorney. The Life of a Movement Lawyer: Lewis Pitts and the Struggle for Democracy, Equality, and Justice chronicles how Pitts positively affected thousands of lives and communities, while working in various social movements and then for legal aid. These grassroots efforts included fights to end nuclear proliferation; seeking justice for victims and survivors of the Greensboro Massacre; restarting the local government in Keysville, Georgia; preserving Gullah culture on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina; and ending corruption in Robeson County, North Carolina. Beyond documenting a life well-lived and shedding light on lesser-known activists and movements, Langberg, in this thoroughly researched biography, explores problems that continue to afflict the United States today: poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, racism, police misconduct, voter suppression, child maltreatment, and corporate power. The Life of a Movement Lawyer will energize, inspire, and compel action by those who seek to continue the pursuit of justice for all.

In the first comprehensive account of the Supreme Court¿s race-related jurisprudence, a distinguished historian and a renowned civil rights lawyer scrutinize a legacy too often blighted by racial injustice.

A powerful and urgent explanation and vindication of our human rights and freedomsAfter the devastation of World War Two, the international community came together to enshrine fundamental rights to refuge, health, education and living standards, for privacy, fair trials and free speech, and outlawing torture, slavery and discrimination. Their goal was greater global justice, equality, and peace. That settlement is now in danger, attacked by opponents from across the political spectrum and populist and authoritarian movements worldwide. We are threatened by wars, inequality, new technologies and climate catastrophe, and we need our human rights now more than ever. In this powerful, accessible book, Shami Chakrabarti, lawyer, parliamentarian and leading British human rights defender, shows us why human rights are essential for our future. Outlining the historic national and international struggles for human rights, from the fall of Babylon, to the present day, Chakrabarti is an indispensable guide to the law and logic underpinning human dignity and universal freedoms. Her intervention will engage both sceptics and supporters, equipping believers in the battle of ideas and persuading doubters to think again. For human rights to survive, they must be far better understood by everyone.

The Supreme Court stands as the most powerful court in the nation and bears the ultimate say on law and the interpretation of the Constitution. As the Court has become a dominant force in political direction, the progression of equal rights has been largely guided by their rulings in monumental cases. These cases outline a broader history of equal rights and how the Court's judicial power has been used to overcome barriers that inhibited blacks, women, and members of the LGBTQ community from accessing the rights established within the Constitution. Despite the progress the nation has made, recent cases outline the importance of continuing this fight for minority populations and the work that remains in the Supreme Court to create a more just society. As said by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, although the Court may bear a blind spot today, with "its eyes open tomorrow" progress can continue to be achieved and U.S. values can be instilled in society.

Her first literary work was a series of stories for children, which appeared between 1864 and 1870 in Our Young Folks and The Riverside Magazine, and in book form as the Ainslee Series; then, in rapid succession, she published: His Grandmothers (1877); Six Sinners (1878); Unto the Third and Fourth Generation (1880) and many others.

THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze and discuss issues raised when law enforcement officers assert the affirmative defense of qualified immunity. Volume 2 of the casebook covers the Sixth through the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. * * * "The doctrine of qualified immunity protects government officials 'from liability for civil damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.'" Pearson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223, 231, 129 S.Ct. 808, 172 L.Ed.2d 565 (2009) (quoting Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818, 102 S.Ct. 2727, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982)). As the Supreme Court has explained, "[q]ualified immunity balances two important interests-the need to hold public officials accountable when they exercise power irresponsibly and the need to shield officials from harassment, distraction, and liability when they perform their duties reasonably." Id. * * * "The qualified immunity analysis entails two general steps, which can be considered in any order." Godawa v. Byrd, 798 F.3d 457, 462-63 (6th Cir. 2015) (citing Pearson, 555 U.S. at 236, 129 S.Ct. 808). "First, taken in the light most favorable to the party asserting the injury, do the facts alleged show that the officer's conduct violated a constitutional right? Second, is the right clearly established?" Seales v. City of Detroit, 724 F. App'x 356, 359 (6th Cir. 2018) (quoting Silberstein v. City of Dayton, 440 F.3d 306, 311 (6th Cir. 2006)). "To qualify as clearly established, [t]he contours of the right must be sufficiently clear that a reasonable official would understand that what he is doing violates that right." Kindl v. City of Berkley, 798 F.3d 391, 398 (6th Cir. 2015) (alteration in original) (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Brown v. Lewis, 779 F.3d 401, 412 (6th Cir. 2015))."[T]he plaintiff bears the burden of showing that an officer is not entitled to the defense of qualified immunity." Courtright v. City of Battle Creek, 839 F.3d 513, 518 (6th Cir. 2016) (citing Johnson v. Moseley, 790 F.3d 649, 653 (6th Cir. 2015)). Rafferty v. Trumbull County, Ohio, 915 F. 3d 1087 (6th Cir. 2019)

Hvad er kunstnerisk frihed? Noget, man kan tage for givet i de nordiske lande? Ja, vil de fleste sikkert svare. Men måske er det slet ikke sådan. For føles friheden egentlig helt fri, når man som udøvende kunstner gerne vil tækkes store fonde eller veletablerede museer? Hvordan ytrer man sig kunstnerisk, når tiden er hyperfølsom? Og hvor bevæger kunsten sig hen i en digital tidsalder?Det og meget mere udforsker denne antologi gennem en lang række forskellige tekster. Alle bidragydere har berøring med den kunstneriske frihed – men på hver deres måde, der spænder fra det lovmæssige og praktiske til det personlige og erfaringsbaserede. Som et kalejdoskop viser antologien forskellige muligheder at anskue emnet på.Bag antologien står a/nordi/c – en tænketank, der i 2021-2023 arbejdede på at bringe kunstverdenens praksis og den politiske virkelighed tættere på hinanden.Følgende personer har skrevet bidrag i bogen: CARSTEN STAURANNI SYRJÄLÄINENSARA WHYATTFREDERIK TYGSTRUPADELHEID ESHITOK SEYFARTH GULBRANDSENKHALED BARAKEHJENNI LAITISANDRA WEILOLE REITOVHEIKI RIIPINENANNA JUULCHRISTIAN VILLUMKRISTOFFER ØRUMSTINA GUSTAFSSONELINE SIGFUSSONSIGNE WULFF

This book examines the Islamic headscarf cases of the Court of Justice of the European Union and places these in context of the Islamophobia existing across Europe. It assesses how EU law can best protect women who want to wear headscarves at work for religious reasons and why this protection is important not only for the women but also for the EU.

Zunehmend komplexe Vertragsstrukturen führen dazu, dass mehrere Verträge umfassende Streitigkeiten auch auf Ebene der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit an Relevanz gewinnen. Die Durchführung schiedsgerichtlicher Mehrvertragsverfahren bringt indes Herausforderungen mit sich, welche nicht zuletzt in der privatautonomen Natur der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit wurzeln. Die Autorin greift dieses praxisrelevante Thema auf und bewertet die Chancen und Risiken derartiger Verfahren. Dies geschieht durch wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit den spezifischen Herausforderungen schiedsgerichtlicher Mehrvertragsverfahren (auch unter Beteiligung Mehrerer), der Erörterung erforderlicher Verfahrensanpassungen sowie vergleichender Analyse der nationalen sowie institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen und Bestimmungen hierzu.

Johann Konrad Dippel var en eventyrlig skikkelse: pietist, mystiker, alkymist, fritænker, oplyser, provokatør – og bestseller. Hans skrifter om både teologi, lægevidenskab og filosofi og hans provokerende pamfletter gjorde ham berømt over landegrænserne.I de første årtier af 1700-tallet levede han et omflakkende liv i Nordeuropa og måtte ofte flygte eller blev forvist for sine synspunkter. Flere gange blev han smidt i fængsel og hans skrifter brændt.I 1719 var han i Altona – dengang det danske riges næststørste by – for at gøre guld. Så blev der rejst en sag imod ham, der endte med livslang forvisning til Bornholm. I sagen stillede Dippel, der var en af Europas førende intellektuelle, op til kamp imod greveparret Reventlow, det mægtigste adelspar i Danmark-Norge.Alkymist i lænker udforsker sagens detaljer som midtpunkt i en skildring af Dippels hæsblæsende liv, der aldrig før har været grundigt beskrevet på dansk. Bogen udkommer 10. august 2023 på 350-årsdagen for Johann Konrad Dippels fødsel.

The notion of academic freedom dates back to the creation of universities and has long been understood to be central to their vocation. This freedom has come under attack by different actors throughout its history. In the current context, rising threats to democracy and human liberties, the corporatization of research, concerns about diversity and increased societal polarization, are putting a considerable pressure on its exercise. However, academic freedom is also a concept that suffers from persistent ambiguities associated with the general notion of freedom as well as debates about the function of universities. This edited collection addresses the question of academic freedom by situating it in its broader global context. More conceptual treatments contribute to an understanding of academic freedom as distinct and separate from, although related to, freedom of expression, or student rights. These conceptual treatments are combined with studies of actual struggles over the scope of academic freedom in specific universities. The contributions come from a broad variety of sites seek to deprovincialize the conversation beyond North America or the English-speaking world.

Mit der Einkunftsartenabgrenzung widmet sich die Autorin einem klassischen Thema, das jedoch an Aktualität nicht verloren hat. Im Gegenteil: Die moderne Arbeitswelt stellt das Steuerrecht vor immer neue Herausforderungen. Einführend werden die verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die mit der Einkünftequalifizierung einhergehenden Rechtsfolgenunterschiede, erarbeitet. Im Rahmen der Abgrenzung zum nicht steuerbaren Bereich steht die Überzeugungskraft der Markteinkommenstheorie im Fokus. Im Rahmen der Einkunftsartenabgrenzung, dem Kernstück des Werkes, erarbeitet die Autorin unter Rückgriff auf vorhandene Literatur und Rechtsprechung sowie mittels Parallelen zu anderen Rechtsgebieten allgemeingültige Kriterien, die einkunftsartenübergreifend Anwendung finden können.

According to NBC Miami news channel, there have been several reports of abuse within the Miami Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department. In 2022 alone, over 398 reports of abuse by inmates were filed, yet none of the staff were terminated in the last three years. This lack of accountability for staff members has allowed the problem to persist, with only 33 officers being disciplined but not terminated. The jails are also 98% full as of 2022, which further exacerbates the issue.
