Das vorliegende Sonderheft untersucht, welche Chancen der freie Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Publikationen („Open Access”) in der Rechtswissenschaft bietet und welchen Hindernissen er begegnet. Dabei kommt Wissenschaftsverlagen eine zentrale Rolle zu, ihre Perspektive wird daher zunächst ausgelotet. Dass Open Access sowohl mit als auch ohne klassische Verlage möglich ist, zeigen neun Erfahrungsberichte juristischer Open-Access-Periodika. Weitere Beiträge erörtern die Rolle der akademischen Infrastruktur, insbesondere Bibliotheken und Forschungsförderer. Abgerundet wird das Heft durch einen Stimmungsbericht aus der grenzüberschreitenden Tagung zum Thema im Oktober 2018 (www.jurOA.de). The present special edition investigates which opportunities open access to scientific publications offers to legal studies and which challenges it poses. Scientific publishers play an important role with regard to this issue; their perspective is therefore examined first. Nine reports from legal-scientific open access periodicals show that open access is possible with as well as without traditional publishers. Other contributions explain the role of academic infrastructure, especially of libraries and promoters of research. The publication is rounded off by an opinion analysis from a transnational conference on the subject which took place in October 2018 (www.jurOA.de).

Can privatizations live up to the expectation of reducing the size of the state? Or will the fears be proven true that privatization can push back on democratic principles and the rule of law? This study tackles four question: What requirements does the constitution lay on the execution of the state tasks? In which respects can the execution of state tasks be privatized? Which problems do the constitutional requirements cause for the privatized execution of tasks? Which room for maneuver does the constitutional requirements leave for the privatized execution? This study does not set out to re-invent the legal phenomenon of privatization or to describe it in a novel way. Rather, this study intends to simplify and to categorize. Privatizations are distinguished fundamentally into whether they concern the task-side or the execution-side of state activity. And it applies the constitutions' requirements in a general way, without delving into the specifics of certain tasks with their special dogmatic categories.
