Fundamentals of Roman Private Law

Knowledge of Roman law, therefore, constitutes an essential component of a sound legal education as well as the education of the student of history. This book begins with a historical introduction, which traces the evolution of Roman law from the earliest period of Roman history up to and including Justinian's codification in the sixth century AD. Then follows an exposition of the principal institutions of Roman private law: the body of rules and principles relating to individuals in Roman society and regulating their personal and proprietary relationships. In this part of the book special attention is given to the Roman law of things, which forged the foundations for much of the modern law of property and obligations in European legal systems.

Funding Religious Heritage (Cultural Diversity and Law in Association with RELIGARE)
by Anne FornerodThis collection brings together a group of highly respected law and religion scholars to explore the funding of religious heritage in the context of state support for religions. The importance of this state support is that on the one hand it illustrates the potential tensions between secular and religious values, whilst on the other it constitutes a relevant tool for investigating the question of the legitimacy of such financial support. The funding logically varies according to the national system of state-religion relationships and this is reflected in the range of countries studied, including: Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. The book provides clarity in the assignment of funds to religious heritage, as well as seeking to define the limit of what relates to the exercise of worship and what belongs to cultural policy. It is clear that the main challenge for the future lies not only in managing the dual purpose of religious monuments, but also in re-using these buildings which have lost their original purpose. This collection will appeal to those interested in cultural heritage management, as well as law and religion scholars. The views expressed during the execution of the RELIGARE project, in whatever form and or by whatever medium, are the sole responsibility of the authors. The European Union is not liable for any use that may be made of the information contained therein.

Funktionale Politisierung als informelle Institution: Eine „Grounded Typology“ politikzentrierter Handlungsentscheidungen (Interdisziplinäre Organisations- und Verwaltungsforschung)
by Jana Marleen WalterEin Desiderat der Verwaltungsforschung betrifft die Frage, welchen Mechanismen politisch-responsives Verhalten unterliegt. Einerseits soll eine normgebundene öffentliche Verwaltung gewährleistet werden, zugleich soll sie die Umsetzung des politischen Willens garantieren. Anhand des Forschungsprojektes erfolgte die Hinwendung zur wissenschaftlich unterrepräsentierten ministeriellen Arbeitsebene. Mithilfe der „Grounded Typology“ ist ein qualitativ-rekonstruktives Verfahren gewählt worden, das einen innovativen Zugang zu funktionaler Politisierung ermöglicht. Anhand theoriegenerierender Expert:inneninterviews werden Beschäftigte des gehobenen und höheren Dienstes zu ihren Handlungsentscheidungen befragt, um zu beantworten, wie funktionale Politisierung in ihrer geistigen und materiellen Welt verankert ist. Erkennbar ist, dass funktionale Politisierung ein graduelles Konzept darstellt, das aus organisationaler Sozialisierung und einer motivationalen Komponente resultiert, wobei die Verhaltenserwartungen des politisch-administrativen Systems bekannt und beherrscht sein müssen und eine Motivation vorliegen muss, den politischen Willen zu erfüllen.
