The essays in this volume portrays the public debates concerning freedom of speech in the 18th century in France and Britain as well as Austria, Denmark, Russia, and Spain and its American territories. The economic integration of Europe and its offshoots over the past three centuries into a distinctive cultural product, 'the West,' has given rise to a triumphant universalist narrative that masks these disparate national contributions to freedom of speech and other liberal rights.

This book features new perspectives on the ethics and politics of free speech. Contributors draw on insights from philosophy, psychology, political theory, journalism, literature, and history to respond to pressing problems involving free speech in liberal societies. Recent years have seen an explosion of academic interest in free speech. However, most recent work has focused on constitutional protections for free speech and on issues related to academic freedom and campus politics. The chapters in this volume set their sights more broadly on the non-state problems that we collectively face in attempting to realize a healthy environment for free discourse. The volume's contributors share the assumption that threats to free speech do not come exclusively from state sources or bad actors, but from ordinary strategic situations in which all may be acting in good faith. Contributors take seriously the idea that our current cultural moment provides plenty of reason to be concerned about our intellectual climate and offer new insights for how to make things better.　 New Directions in the Ethics and Politics of Speech will be of interest to researchers and students working in ethics, political philosophy, social theory, and law.

Bans on organizations are not part of the traditional range of instruments used in dealing with extremist phenomena in the Swiss legal system. In recent years, however, there has been a paradigm shift in this regard, especially since there has been a general, abstract basis for a ban on extremist organizations in individual cases for the first time since September 1, 2017. This thesis is devoted to the question of the conditions under which a ban on extremist organizations is permissible from a constitutional point of view. To this end, the author examines whether and to what extent extremist efforts enjoy protection under fundamental rights. He also examines the existing legal bases for bans on organisations, specifically Article 74 of the Intelligence Service Act (NDG), for their conformity with the constitution. Organisationsverbote zählen in der schweizerischen Rechtsordnung nicht zum traditionellen Instrumentarium im Umgang mit extremistischen Phänomenen. In den vergangenen Jahren zeichnet sich diesbezüglich allerdings ein Paradigmenwechsel ab, zumal seit 1. September 2017 erstmals eine generell-abstrakte Grundlage für ein Verbot von extremistischen Organisationen im Einzelfall besteht. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich der Frage, unter welchen Voraussetzungen ein Verbot von extremistischen Organisationen unter verfassungsrechtlichem Blickwinkel zulässig ist. Zu diesem Zweck untersucht der Autor, ob und inwieweit extremistische Bestrebungen grundrechtlichen Schutz geniessen. Weiter überprüft er die bestehenden Rechtsgrundlagen für Organisationsverbote, namentlich Art. 74 des Nachrichtendienstgesetzes (NDG), auf ihre Verfassungskonformität hin.
