The most violent places in the world today are not at war. They are instead buckling under a maelstrom of gangs, organized crime, political conflict, corruption, and state brutality. Such devastating violence can feel hopeless, yet some places—from Colombia to the Republic of Georgia—have been able to recover. Taking on existing literature and popular theories about war, crime, and foreign intervention, A Savage Order is a blistering yet inspiring investigation into what makes some countries p...

It also contributes towards governance theory-building efforts through the development of an empirically relevant analytical framework. In so doing it provides a firm underpinning for assessing whether, to what extent and in what ways there has been a transiti...

Over 17 chapters, Regulation in Australia provides a comprehensive analysis of the nature of regulation, its histo...
Tim Bremke untersucht in seiner Abhandlung, ob Kommunen bei stadtebaulichen Kooperationsvorhaben sich ihren Partner frei aussuchen durfen oder aber im Rahmen einer wettbewerblichen Ausschreibung ermitteln mussen.

Juni 2007 schlagartig virulent geworden ist und trotz nachfolgender nationaler und vor allem auch europaischer Rechtsprechung bis heute nicht in ihren Einzelheiten verlassl...

Das Zusammentreffen von Kultur und Kunst auf der einen, Recht und Verwaltung auf der anderen Seite fuhrt zwangslaufig zu Reibungen und Konflikten. Besonders deutlich wird die Gegensatzlichkeit der durch Autonomie, Freiheit und Eigengesetzlichkeit charakterisierten Kultur und der Begrenzungen und bindenden Handlungsvorgaben des Normensystems im Bereich der Kulturverwaltung. Diese Schrift hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die hier auftretenden Schwierigkeiten aufzuzeigen, die wesentlichen rechtlichen Gru...
