Die Lizenz ::Eine Einordnung in die Systemzusammenhänge des BGB und des Zivilprozessrechts /
No full textDie Lizenz stellt die zentrale Verwertungsform für Rechte des Geistigen Eigentums dar. Bisher scheitert eine dogmatisch konsistente Einordnung in das Rechtssystem jedoch an der in Deutschland tradierten Abweichung vom Allgemeinen Zivilrecht sowie der starken Differenzierung nach der Art des Schutzgegenstands. Die daraus resultierenden dogmatischen Brüche und Unsicherheiten sind aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive unbefriedigend und belasten die Vertragspraxis. Mary-Rose McGuire arbeitet die Lizenz als ein Rechtsinstitut an der Schnittstelle zwischen Allgemeinem Zivilrecht und dem Recht des Geistigen Eigentums heraus und integriert dadurch die Lizenzerteilung in das Allgemeine Zivilrecht. Die Lizenz wird als verdinglichte Obligation erfasst, der Lizenzvertrag nach dem Vorbild der Vertragstypen des BGB als einheitliches Modell konzipiert. Die Konsequenzen der Anwendung des Allgemeinen Schuldrechts werden ebenso erörtert, wie die Behandlung des Lizenzvertrags in Zwangsvollstreckungs-, Insolvenz- und Kollisionsrecht

No full textStructural Indeterminacy and the Separation of Powers
No full textDespite ongoing disagreement about how the Constitution allocates powers among the different branches, the two dominant schools of thought in American separation-of-powers debates— formalism and functionalism—agree on three premises: Certain powers inhere in certain government branches, some powers are vested exclusively in one or another branch, and the judiciary is the final arbiter of separation-of-powers disputes. Disagreement is largely about how powers should be parsed and which should be shared. Yet over the long lifespan of our constitutional tradition, momentous doctrinal upheavals are relatively commonplace. This Article describes four tectonic shifts in separation-of-powers doctrine: Founding-era debates about how to define and blend powers, nineteenth-century debates about the constitutionality of the nascent civil service, Lochner-era debates about legislatures’ authority to define and regulate public utilities, and mid-nineteenth-century debates about the sources of international law. The first, which we call the Inherency Theory, assumes that certain powers and functions are vested by force of the Constitution, are core to a single branch, and are discernible by the judiciary. This is a taxonomical theory of how the Constitution allocates powers, and it animates nearly all of today’s separation-of-powers debates. The second, an Antidomination Theory, denies that the words executive, legislative, and judicial imply any new or distinct powers and instead creates formal separation between the three branches based on the procedures federal actors deploy to enact, enforce, and interpret policy. The third, a rights-based Public Utility Theory, distinguishes between a public sphere that is subject to congressional, presidential, and administrative control, and a private sphere that is not. Recently, this public-private distinction has been marshalled to define the judicial power. Historically, however, it was used to deduce a whole panoply of structural limits, including the constitutionality of agency adjudication and deference. And the fourth, a General Law approach, discerns the limits of government power by reference to the eclectic authority of the common law and right reason. Recovering these theories reveals a rich set of tools for resolving interdepartmental disputes, highlights that current receptions of past settlements are nearly unintelligible without understanding the theoretical context in which they emerged, and suggests that, while different theories have risen and fallen, no one theory of separation of powers has been liquidated in our constitutional tradition
Nationality and statelessness in Europe ::European law on preventing and solving statelessness /
No full textStatelessness remains an issue of concern in Europe. Stateless people are without any nationality and often experience problems with accessing basic rights, despite the proclamation of human rights and a right to a nationality for all. Various attempts have been made to address statelessness specifically, for instance by the adoption of the United Nations Statelessness Conventions, but also by European regional cooperation mechanisms. This research therefore analyses and places into context the legal approaches that states have taken together in the context of the Council of Europe and the European Union to prevent and solve statelessness from a human rights perspective. In understanding the contribution of European law to preventing and solving statelessness, the study also reflects on what this adds to the legal concept of nationality and ways in which to move forward
Politiques et pratiques foncières en Afrique de l'Ouest /
No full text"L'analyse comparative a laissé apparaitre des préoccupations communes et des défis à relever. Les préoccupations communes sont liées à la résolution des conflits liés à l'accès à la terre, au devenir des droits coutumiers toujours vivaces en dépit de leur suppression officielle dans certains pays, au phénomène nouveau des acquisitions de terres à grande échelle constitutives de menaces sur les exploitations familiales et la sécuité alimentaire, à l'exode rural difficilement maitrisable et qui entraine un entassement à la périphérie des villes, à la réduction des espaces pastoraux entrainent des conflits permanents entre agriculteurs et éleveurs. Le défi essentiel est la mise en place de nouvelles politiques foncières qui est ressentie comme préalable nécessaire pour faire jouer à la terre toutes ses utilités et créer les conditions de sortie de situation d'insécurité alimentaire dans laquelle presque tous les pays sont plongés."--Page 4 of cover

No full textThe road to reconciliation? ::optimizing the legitimacy and efficacy of the International Criminal Court within the African Union and Africa /
No full text"It is close to a decade now that tensions continue to obstinately persist between the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the African Union (AU) to the point of numerous threatened en masse withdrawals by African States from the Rome Statute. The latter of which have been vociferously outed and spurred on by the African Union. This, automatically following in the wake of an all exclusive African caseload comprising influential African Heads of State, all of whom have been indicted by the ICC. As a result of these ongoing tensions a legitimacy crisis of the ICC in Africa has been predicated on this basis with the foremost accusation labeling the ICC as a neocolonialist organization bent on derailing peace and sovereignty in Africa. Hurled accusations like these, against the Court, has propelled a negative perception of the ICC in Africa which accordingly and likewise brings with it the question whether the ICC is able to effect legitimate, meaningful and effective justice in Africa?"-
