Maritime Security Law in Hybrid Warfare
‘This is the essential book today for understanding maritime security law” -Prof. James Kraska (US Naval War College & Harvard Law School) The recrudescence of great power competition at sea raises several legal problems. Maritime Security Law in Hybrid Warfare brings together authors from various fields of international law to address such challenges in the legal intersection between naval war, military activities, maritime law enforcement, and hybrid warfare. This book explores the means for increasing legal resilience against the emerging trend of weaponization of commercial ships, underwater cables and pipelines, lawfare, and migration by hybrid adversaries.
Transnationalisation and Legal Actors
Transnational tendencies have led to a pluralistic legal environment in which emerging and established legal actors, regulatory levels and types of legal norms co-exist, compete and interact in complex ways. This challenges and changes not only how legal norms are created, applied and enforced but also when these actors, norms and processes are considered legitimate. The book investigates how states and non-state actors interact in transnational settings and pays attention to the understudied question of what effect transnational tendencies have on the legitimacy of legal actors, norms and processes. It seeks to confront three fundamental questions: Has legitimacy significantly changed? Who ...
Judicial Review in Greater China
This book examines the judicial review systems in the four areas of Greater China – China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau – and uncovers judicial review activities of the apex courts of each region. It provides a comparative assessment of judicial activism and deference. The development of modern judicial review is one of the key elements of the twentieth century’s legal heritage. By enforcing the principles of constitutionalism, the rule of law, and human rights protection, many courts have been vested with unprecedented powers and have played an essential role in supervising the exercise of government power through constitutional and administrative review. This work investigates the mo...
Global Legal Indicators and Comparative Law
In recent times, comparative law has moved towards a new type of visualisation of the law, which is mainly based on indexes and indicators. Through these, legal scholars and practitioners measure legal systems against specific benchmarks; they no longer search for commonalities among legal systems but are interested in assessing how the law performs in economic terms. This book critically analyses this ‘quantitative turn’ in comparative law. The work focuses on the role played by social indicators in general, and legal indicators in particular, in contemporary societies. It presents the evaluation of indicators as a pattern of governance as well as a driver promoting a change in the law ...
Legitimationsdefizite im europäischen Kartellermittlungsverfahren
Das EU-Kartellverfahren hat ein Legitimitätsdefizit. Dies wird aufgrund der inzwischen milliardenschweren Kartellsanktionen behauptet. Zur Überprüfung dieser These wird eine Legitimitäts- und Legitimationskontrolle des Eingriffs- und Verteidigungsregimes des EU-Kartellverfahrens vorgenommen. Untersucht werden die Rechtsnatur der Kartellbuße und die Unternehmereigenschaft der Sanktionsadressaten als Legitimationsbasis der Reduktion strafrechtlicher Verfahrensrechte im EU-Kartellverfahren. Der Legitimationsmaßstab hierzu wird aus den gemeinsamen Verfassungsüberlieferungen aller EU-Mitgliedstaaten entwickelt – anhand eines strukturell-funktionalen Rechtsvergleichs der Ermittlungs- und Verteidigungsrechte der Unternehmens- und Verbandssanktionsverfahren, insbesondere des nemo-tenetur-Grundsatzes. Die Untersuchung gelangt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Reduktion strafrechtlicher Verfahrensrechte de lege lata nicht legitim ist und das EU-Kartellverfahren ein Legitimitätsdefizit aufweist.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) has for four decades been considered by many to be one of the most important legislative achievements of international law. It is revered as a "constitution of the oceans", providing the legal framework for the governance of the oceans. This volume explores how the UNCLOS is functioning in various complex settings, how it adapts to new, emerging developments, as well as how it interacts with other regulation, both within the law of the sea regime and outside. Engaging in themes such as law and order at sea, UNCLOS’ interaction with human rights and the role of private actors, the book raises complex questions in the applicat...
