Get PDFEpisode #3 of the Borderlines CJEU Series features CJEU Vice President Thomas von Danwitz in conversation with Professor Katerina Linos (Berkeley) and Professor Mark Pollack (Temple University). Vice President von Danwitz has been a Judge at the Court of Justice since his nomination by Germany in 2006. Elected as President of Chamber by fellow Judges, he sat at the Court in that function between October 2012 and October 2018. In October 2024, Judge von Danwitz was elected by his peers to serve as Vice President of the Court of Justice.As the first guest welcomed back to conduct a second Borderlines interview, Vice President von Danwitz further develops his incisive observations regarding the CJEU’s fundamental role in Europe’s integration project. His renowned expertise on cases involving surveillance and the regulation of technology, and the role of the German Constitutional Court in dialogue with CJEU decisions, gives listeners a unique look behind recent impactful rulings. Vice President von Danwitz also reviews key Court concepts and functions such as judicial independence, injunction procedures, and the ongoing evolution of competences undertaken by Europe’s highest court.Vice President von Danwitz read law, politics and modern history at the universities of Bonn and Geneva, completed his doctorate in law in Bonn in 1988, then graduated from the National School of Administration in Paris, France with an international diploma in public administration in 1990. He joined the Faculty of Law and Political Science at Bonn University in 1996 and was appointed to professor of public law and European law at the Ruhr University Bochum in the same year, where he later served as dean of the Faculty of Law. He taught German public law and European law at the University of Cologne, where he also directed the Institute of Public Law and Administrative Science. Vice President von Danwitz has held several visiting professorships, including at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and the University of Paris I, Panthéon-Sorbonne. In 2005, he completed a teaching and research fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley. From 2004–2014, he was a member of the Executive Committee of the Association of German Jurists (Ständige Deputation des Deutschen Juristentags). He has published numerous scholarly works in the field of German public law and European law. Among many accolades, Vice President von Danwitz was made a French Republic Knight of the National Order of Merit in 2002. He is also the recipient of an honorary doctorate from the Université François Rabelais de Tours. </p

Episode #16: Conversations on Europe with ECJ Judge von Danwitz
Get PDFEpisode 16 of Borderlines features eminent jurist Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Thomas von Danwitz, Judge and former president of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg. Judge von Danwitz discusses the impact and import of the European Union Court of Justice (CJEU) 70 years after its inception in the aftermath of World War II as “a community of law instead of a primacy of politics.” In conversation with Professor Katerina Linos, they recount the ECJ’s vital function in shaping the evolving legal framework for key economic, social, and political developments in Europe and beyond, including its strong influence on supreme and constitutional courts across the globe.Listeners will learn key differences between EU and US court decisions, and hear about the ECJ’s recent rulings regulating the technology industry, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – the toughest privacy and security law in the world – as well discussion on crucial issues like climate change, gender equality, and how the court is responding to threats to the European integration project.Made a French Republic Knight of the National Order of Merit in 2002, von Danwitz has held several visiting professorships. He also served as dean of the Faculty of Law at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany and was a professor of German public law and European law at the University of Cologne, where he directed the Institute of Public Law and Administrative Science.At UC Berkeley Law School to give the 2023 Tragen Lecture in Comparative Law, Judge von Danwitz brings to life the European Court of Justice’s historic and hopeful role in navigating the fundamental human rights, international trade, and environmental challenges of today. Check back soon for a link to the Berkeley Journal of International Law’s forthcoming published article, “The Role of the Court of Justice in the Course of European Integration.” Learn more about the inimitable Mr. Irving Tragen in Episode #9 of Borderlines.</p

Time‐continuous and time‐discontinuous space‐time finite elements for advection‐diffusion problems
No full textWe construct four variants of space-time finite element discretizations based on linear tensor-product and simplex-type finite elements. The resulting discretizations are continuous in space, and continuous or discontinuous in time. In a first test run, all four methods are applied to a linear scalar advection-diffusion model problem. Then, the convergence properties of the time-discontinuous space-time finite element discretizations are studied in numerical experiments. Advection velocity and diffusion coefficient are varied, such that the parabolic case of pure diffusion (heat equation), as well as, the hyperbolic case of pure advection (transport equation) are included in the study. For each model parameter set, the
error at the final time is computed for spatial and temporal element lengths ranging over several orders of magnitude to allow for an individual evaluation of the methods' spatial, temporal, and space-time accuracy. In the parabolic case, particular attention is paid to the influence of time-dependent boundary conditions. Key findings include a spatial accuracy of second order and a temporal accuracy between second and third order. The temporal accuracy tends toward third order depending on how advection-dominated the test case is, on the choice of the specific discretization method, and on the time-(in)dependence and treatment of the boundary conditions. Additionally, the potential of time-continuous simplex space-time finite elements for heat flux computations is demonstrated with a piston ring pack test case and a subtractive manufacturing test case.dtec.bw – Digitalization and Technology Research Center of the Bundeswehr. dtec.bw is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEUUniversity of the Bundeswehr Munic
Good governance in the hand of the judiciary: Lessons from the European example
Get PDFThis note is based on the author’s guest presentation delivered at the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation/North-West University (Faculty of Law) Colloquium on 21 August 2009. Justice von Danwitz was invited to set the scene for further academic discourse on the broad topic of Good Governance and Sustainable Development. This contribution hence draws on the author’s personal views and experience in the European context, and it is shown that the quest for good governance is universal and not specific to our times and that in fact, “(t)he true administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good government”. The contribution considers what Europe has been able to realize in this field over the past 10 years by means of a description of the legal concepts and practical consequences of the quest for good governance in the European Union and some comments on the role of the judiciary in this process. The contribution serves to show that good government is a notion of which the meaningtranscends geographical and jurisdictional borders and that it is possible for different countries and regions to exchange lessons and learning experiences in relation to good government in operation as well as the role of good government towards the achievement of sustainable development.Keywords: good government, good governance, role of judiciary in goodgovernance; European Union perspective

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
