Den Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit bildet die Frage, in welchem Umfang die "Universalsukzession kraft Rechtsgeschäft" für den Unternehmensverkehr nutzbar gemacht werden kann. Aktueller Anlass der Untersuchung sind die durch das deutsche Umwandlungsgesetz von 1994 - sowie auf rechtsvergleichender Ebene das Schweizer Fusionsgesetz aus dem Jahre 2003 und das österreichische Unternehmensgesetzbuch aus dem Jahre 2007 - eröffneten Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten.Unter Berücksichtigung des Systems der Verfügungsgeschäfte nach dem Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuch, wird der Versuch einer Gesamtdarstellung sämtlicher universalsukzessiver Übertragungstatbestände unternommen. Dabei wird die Möglichkeit aufgezeigt, die handelsrechtlichen Vorschriften der §§ 25 ff. HGB als Pendant zu den umwandlungsrechtlichen Instituten der Spaltung und Vermögensübertragung aufzufassen.Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden ferner die Auswirkungen auf den Bereich des Schuldrechts. Auf der Grundlage der verschiedenen universalsukzessiven Übertragungstatbestände können Schuldverhältnisse grundsätzlich frei, d.h. ohne Zustimmung des betroffenen Vertragspartners, übertragen werden. Nachgegangen wird den Grenzen einer solchen "freien" Übertragbarkeit, der Funktion der Spaltungshaftung, wie auch den möglichen leistungsstörungsrechtlichen Implikationen einer Rechtsübertragung im Wege der Universalsukzession.

Accident law, if properly designed, is capable of reducing the incidence of mishaps by making people act more cautiously. Scholarly writing on this branch of law traditionally has been concerned with examining the law for consistency with felt notions of right and duty. Since the 1960's, however, a group of legal scholars and economists have focused on identifying the effects of accident law on people's behavior. Steven Shavell's book is the definitive synthesis of research to date in this new field.

Due to its scope and depth, Moore's Causation and Responsibility is probably the most important publication in the philosophy of law since the publication of Hart's and Honoré's Causation in the Law in 1959. This volume offers, for the first time, a detailed exchange between legal and philosophical scholars over Moore's most recent work. In particular, it pioneers the dialogue between English-speaking and German philosophy of law on a broad range of pressing foundational questions concerning causation in the law. It thereby fulfills the need for a comprehensive, international and critical discussion of Moore's influential arguments. The 15 contributors to the proposed volume span the whole interdisciplinary field from law and morals to metaphysics, and the authors include distinguished criminal and tort lawyers, as well as prominent theoretical and practical philosophers from four nations. In addition, young researchers take brand-new approaches in the field. The collection is essential reading for anyone interested in legal and moral theory.

"This book combines conceptual insights into what shapes contemporary accountability mechanisms with a selection of case studies. The volume analyses and discusses issues related to the accountability and transparency of public power. The authors deal with various problems connected to controlling public institutions and incumbents' responsibility in state bodies. The work is divided into three parts: Part I: Law examines the institutional and objective approach. Part II: Fairness and Rights discusses the subject approach, referring to a recipient of rights. Part III: Authority looks at the functional approach, referring to the executors of law. Providing insights into increasing understanding of various concepts, principles and institutions characteristic of the modern state, the book makes a valuable contribution to the area of comparative constitutional change. It will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and policy makers working in the areas of Constitutional Law and Politics"--

This edited volume brings together well-established and emerging scholars of transitional justice to discuss the persistence of amnesty in the age of human rights accountability. The volume attempts to reframe debates, moving beyond the limited approaches of 'truth versus justice' or 'stability versus accountability' in which many of these issues have been cast in the existing scholarship. The theoretical and empirical contributions in this book offer new ways of understanding and tackling the enduring persistence of amnesty in the age of accountability. In addition to cross-national studies, the volume encompasses eleven country cases of amnesty for past human rights violations: Argentina, Brazil, Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Rwanda, South Africa, Spain, Uganda and Uruguay. The volume goes beyond merely describing these case studies, but also considers what we learn from them in terms of overcoming impunity and promoting accountability to contribute to improvements in human rights and democracy.
