Sovereignty Referendums in International and Constitutional Law
by İlker Gökhan ŞenThis book focuses on sovereignty referendums, which have been used throughout different historical periods of democratization, decolonization, devolution, secession and state creation. Referendums on questions of sovereignty and self-determination have been a significant element of the international political and legal landscape since the French Revolution, and have been a central element in the resolution of territorial issues from the referendum in Avignon in 1791 until today. More recent examples include Quebec, East Timor, New Caledonia, Puerto Rico and South Sudan. The global aim of this book is to achieve a better empirical and legal understanding of sovereignty referendums and related problems in international and national law and politics. Accordingly, it presents readers a comprehensive study of sovereignty referendums from the perspectives of both international and constitutional law.
Sovereignty, Statehood and State Responsibility
by Christine Chinkin Freya BaetensThis collection of essays focusses on the following concepts: sovereignty (the unique, intangible and yet essential characteristic of states), statehood (what it means to be a state, and the process of acquiring or losing statehood) and state responsibility (the legal component of what being a state entails). The unifying theme is that they have always been and will in the future continue to form a crucial part of the foundations of public international law. While many publications focus on new actors in international law such as international organisations, individuals, companies, NGOs and even humanity as a whole, this book offers a timely, thought-provoking and innovative reappraisal of the core actors on the international stage: states. It includes reflections on the interactions between states and non-state actors and on how increasing participation by and recognition of the latter within international law has impacted upon the role and attributes of statehood.
Sovereignty's Entailments: First Nation State Formation in the Yukon
by Paul NadasdyIn recent decades, indigenous peoples in the Yukon have signed land claim and self-government agreements that spell out the nature of government-to-government relations and grant individual First Nations significant, albeit limited, powers of governance over their peoples, lands, and resources. Those agreements, however, are predicated on the assumption that if First Nations are to qualify as governments at all, they must be fundamentally state-like, and they frame First Nation powers in the culturally contingent idiom of sovereignty. Based on over five years of ethnographic research [carried out] in the southwest Yukon, Sovereignty’s Entailments is a close ethnographic analysis of everyday practices of state formation in a society whose members do not take for granted the cultural entailments of sovereignty. This approach enables Nadasdy to illustrate the full scope and magnitude of the "cultural revolution" that is state formation and expose the culturally specific assumptions about space, time, and sociality that lie at the heart of sovereign politics. Nadasdy’s timely and insightful work illuminates how the process of state formation is transforming Yukon Indian people’s relationships with one another, animals, and the land.
Sowing the Dragon's Teeth: Land Mines and the Global Legacy of War
by Philip C. Winslow[Back Cover[] Each year an estimated twenty-six thousand people are killed or maimed by land mines-- more than 100 million of them sown like the mythical dragon's teeth in over seventy countries. These weapons are designed to maim soldiers, but most victims are civilians, especially the rural poor. Winslow writes about these people and the Campaign to Ban Landmines (which was awarded The Nobel Peace Prize in 1997). He tells about the efforts to pull the dragon's teeth from the earth so that it can be restored to those who live on it. Philip Winslow transports readers to the villages of eastern Angola to witness the daily havoc wreaked by land mines in a country struggling to keep a fragile peace. . .. Sowing the Dragon's Teeth makes a strong case that a ban [on land mines]--championed by the late Princess Diana--is a necessity.
Soziale Netzwerke – Die Familie von heute: Recht und Politik der Regulierung
by Vanessa KirchSoziale Netzwerke haben eine Fülle von Problemen in Bezug auf die Privatsphäre und den Schutz personenbezogener Daten aufgeworfen. Die Nutzung sozialer Netzwerke ist zu einem zentralen Anliegen von Rechtswissenschaftlern, politischen Entscheidungsträgern und den Betreibern sowie den Nutzern dieser sozialen Netzwerke geworden. Dieses bahnbrechende Buch beleuchtet die Bedeutung des Datenschutzes im Zusammenhang mit den neuen elektronischen Kommunikationstechnologien von heute, da es widersprüchliche Ansprüche zum Schutz der nationalen und internationalen Sicherheit, der Freiheit des Internets und wirtschaftlicher Überlegungen aufzeigt. Auf der Grundlage des intellektuellen Rahmens der New Haven School of Jurisprudence stellt der Autor das geltende Recht zum Schutz der Privatsphäre und zu sozialen Medien in internationaler und vergleichender Perspektive dar und konzentriert sich dabei auf die Vereinigten Staaten, die Europäische Union und ihre Allgemeine Datenschutzverordnung von 2018 sowie auf Deutschland, das Vereinigte Königreich und Lateinamerika. Das Buch bewertet das geltende Recht, erörtert Alternativen und gibt Empfehlungen für eine öffentliche Ordnung der Menschenwürde. Übersetzt mit www.DeepL.com/Translator (kostenlose Version)
Sozialklimawandel in der Komfortgesellschaft: Konsumbasierte Verletzungen und Illusionen
by Günther RosenbergerAnlass für dieses Buchs sind die zunehmende Kälte im Umgang der Bürger miteinander und ihre mangelnde Empathie: normenverletzendes Handeln zulasten der Mitmenschen, Hassausbrüche in sozialen Netzen, Übergriffigkeiten jeder Art. Oft wird vor einem Auseinanderfallen des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhangs gewarnt, manche Protestformen gewinnen gar bürgerkriegsähnlichen Charakter. Welche Rolle spielen dabei hedonistischer Konsum, Identitätszweifel, die Suche nach Selbstwert und eskapistisches Verhalten? Wo die Ursachen dieses Sozialklimawandels zu suchen sind, untersucht das Buch anhand zeittypischen Verhaltens.
Sozialunternehmen
by Sebastian GöseDas Buch unterstützt Unternehmen bei der Integration von Menschen mit Behinderung in den 1. Arbeitsmarkt. So versucht die Case Study ein Grundverständnis dafür zu schaffen, welche Herausforderungen das Management von Sozialunternehmen beinhaltet. Dazu werden insbesondere Themen aus der Personalführung, dem Personalmanagement, der Unternehmenskultur sowie die besonderen Bedürfnisse von Menschen mit Handicap analysiert. Darüber hinaus wird erarbeitet, was ein „Social Business“ von „Social Entrepreneurship“ oder „Social Enterprise“ unterscheidet.

Soziologie der Würde: Eine Einführung in ihre Problemzugänge, Analysen und Befunde
by Friedrich W. StallbergDieses Studienbuch bietet eine soziologische Einführung in die konfliktreiche Welt der Menschenwürde. In Abgrenzung zum vorherrschenden normativen Verständnis von Würde wird diese als eine Achtung und Autonomie anstrebende individuelle Handlungsorientierung beschrieben, die interaktiv und institutionell geformt ist, und deren Erfolgschancen von den umfassenden gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen abhängen. Da sich Würde im Alltag erst in Situationen der Bedrohtheit und Beschädigung als für Lebensführung und Identität unentbehrlich zu erkennen gibt, konzentriert sich auch die Darstellung ihrer Realität auf Risiken, Formen und zentrale Schauplätze ihrer Beeinträchtigung.
Space and Fates of International Law: Between Leibniz and Hobbes (ASIL Studies in International Legal Theory)
by Ekaterina Yahyaoui KrivenkoThe book offers the first analysis of the influence exercised by the concept of space on the emergence and continuing operation of international law. By adopting a historical perspective and analysing work of two central early modern thinkers – Leibniz and Hobbes – it offers a significant addition to a limited range of resources on early modern history of international law. The book traces links between concepts of space, universality, human cognition, law, and international law in these two early modern thinkers in a comparative fashion. Through this analysis, the book demonstrates the dependency of the contemporary international law on the Hobbesian concept of space. Although some Leibnizian elements continue to operate, they are distorted. This continuing operation of Leibnizian elements is explained by the inability of international law, which is based on the Hobbesian concept of space, to ensure universality of its normative foundation.
Space and the Memories of Violence

Space Business: Emerging Theory and Practice
by William W. Baber Arto OjalaThis book is an academic investigation of commercial activities of firms in the space related industries and those utilizing services provided by space technology firms. These firms and their activities are part of the “New Space” concept where space related commercial activities are undertaken and funded by private firms rather than government institutions. New Space is leading to business model innovation and new theory about space business activities including upstream and downstream commercial activities. Upstream value chains include activities prior to turnover of launched systems to operators. Downstream value chains include operation of systems in space as well as the transfer, processing, and sale of space-based data and data services. The commercial activities of space business now reach into everyday lives of most humans from banking and disaster management to resource monitoring to tourism. With such broad reach, the New Space ecosystem is rapidly developing in importance and complexity.
Space Capacity Building in the XXI Century (Studies in Space Policy #22)
by Stefano FerrettiThis book, edited by the European Space Policy Institute, is the first international publication, following UNISPACE+50, to analyze how space capacity building can empower the international community towards fully accessing all the economic and societal benefits that space assets and data can offer. New innovation models are increasingly spreading across various sectors and disciplines, including space, which is becoming an integral part of many societal activities (e.g. telecoms, weather, climate change and environmental monitoring, civil protection, infrastructures, transportation and navigation, healthcare and education). The book helps readers construct their own space capacity building roadmaps, which take into account key stakeholders and also new private actors, NGOs and civil society. Starting from a policy and strategy perspective, it addresses key aspects of capacity building, including innovation and exploration, global health, climate change and resilient societies. It outlines the available options and summarizes the ideal programmatic conditions for their successful implementation. Showcasing reflections from a range of senior space professionals around the world, with their unique perspectives and solutions, it provides a rich mosaic in which various cultural and policy approaches to space are translated into actionable programs and ideas so that space may truly benefit all of humankind.
