Analyses of three legal cases involving religion in the public sphere are used to illuminate this trend: a municipal council chamber; a town hall; and town board meetings. Each case involves a different national context—Canada, France and the United States—and each illustrates something interesting about the shape-shifting nature of religion, specifically its flex...

This research review assembles work that is of immediate interest to both public and private international lawyers, and more broadly to all those interested...

This volume shows not only the strengths and weaknesses of such argumentation,...

Such government control pertains to the establishment of an ex-ante review regime of FDI in the host state in sectors that are considered as ‘sensitive’ or ‘strategic’, with an aim to mitigate the security-related implications. This book conducts a syst...

"Weil Wir frei sein wollen" beantwortet die Frage, warum wir den Staat brauchen. Die Antwort thematisiert ihn als Republik oder - in korrekter UEbersetzung des lateinischen Lehnwortes - als Freistaat.

Was der betreffende Freiheitswille vermag, hat die Welt am 9. November 1989 gehoert und gesehen: "Wir sind das Volk" war die Parol...
