Kann man durch feinmaschigere Regelungen eine mögliche Instrumentalisierung des Rundfunks für machtpolitische Zwecke in den Griff bekommen?Nur begrenzt. Politischer Erfolg hängt in starkem Maß von dem Bild ab, welches das Fernsehen von der Politik und den Politikern vermittelt. Deswegen wird die Politik immer in Versuchung sein, Einfluss auf das Fernsehen zu nehmen. Der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk als vom Staat geschaffene Einrichtung ist dafür anfälliger als der private. Dieser ist anderen Instrumentalisierungsgefahren ausgesetzt. Das Recht kann die Gefahr nicht beseitigen. Es kann sie aber eindämmen.
Aktuell wird darüber diskutiert, ob das Sexualstrafrecht noch zeitgemäß ist. Unterschiedliche Bemühungen, die Vorschrift § 177 StGB (sexuelle Nötigung; Vergewaltigung) zu reformieren, stoßen auf heftigen Widerstand. Insbesondere geht es um die Frage, ob für die Erfüllung des Tatbestandes ein fehlendes Einverständnis ausreichend sein kann und darf. Erstaunlich ist, dass bei dieser Debatte europäische und internationale Ansätze völlig ignoriert werden. Dabei ist für Deutschland nicht nur seit dem 1. August 2014 das Übereinkommen des Europarats zur Verhütung und Bekämpfung von Gewalt gegen Frauen und häuslicher Gewalt (Istanbuler Konvention) in Kraft getreten, sondern auch der Ausschuss der Frauenrechtskonvention der Vereinten Nationen (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women – CEDAW) hat zum wiederholten Mal in der Sache R.P.B v. the Philippines zum Ausdruck gebracht, dass nicht einverständliche sexuelle Handlungen unter Strafe zu stellen sind.
In der Debatte über die Entscheidung des EGMR zum Burka-Verbot in Frankreich läuft einiges gerade ziemlich schief. Viele Liberale – an vorderster Stelle im Verfassungsblog selbst – empören sich geradezu über die Entscheidung, während diese andererseits im Namen der Geschlechtergleichheit von Leuten verteidigt wird, die man bislang nicht gerade als deren Vorkämpfer in Erinnerung hatte. [...]
Ich möchte dem Direktor, Herrn Professor Thomas Duve, meinen aufrichtigsten Dank dafür sagen, dass ich die Rede zum Beginn einer neuen Phase im mittlerweile langen Leben des Frankfurter Instituts halten darf. Für einen Rechtshistoriker handelt es sich um eine wirkliche Ehre, hat doch das Max-Planck-Institut für europäische Rechtsgeschichte seit 1964, seinem Gründungsjahr, dank seiner Leiter – u.a. Helmut Coing, Dieter Simon, Michael Stolleis und Thomas Duve, die allesamt herausragende, allgemein anerkannte Wissenschaftler waren (und sind) – die Studien zur mittelalterlichen und neuzeitlichen Rechtsgeschichte wesentlich vorangetrieben und sich damit weltweit als wichtigstes Forschungszentrum durchgesetzt. ...
The article aims to investigate, under the aspect of translation, the process of legal appropriation and reproduction of international law during the course of the 19th century. An occidental understanding of translation played an important role in the so-called process of universalization in the 19th century, as it made the complexity of global circulation of ideas invisible. Approaches proposed by scholars of Postcolonial, Cultural and Translation Studies are useful for re-reading histories of the circulation of European ideas, particularly the international law doctrines, from a different perspective. The great strides made in Translation and Cultural Studies in the last decades, as well as the discernment practiced in the scholarship of Postcolonial Studies, are important for a broader and more differentiated understanding of the processes of appropriation and reproduction of the doctrines of international law during the 19th century. The present article begins by tracing the connection between translation and universalization of concepts in 19th century international law; after a short excursus on the Western idea of translation, the attention is focused on the translation of international law textbooks. The conclusive section is dedicated to a comparison between Emer de Vattel’s Droit des gens and Andrés Bello’s Principios de Derecho de Jentes.
Altered microRNA (miRNA) expression is a hallmark of many cancer types. The combined analysis of miRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression profiles is crucial to identifying links between deregulated miRNAs and oncogenic pathways. Therefore, we investigated the small non-coding (snc) transcriptomes of nine clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) and adjacent normal tissues for alterations in miRNA expression using a publicly available small RNA-Sequencing (sRNA-Seq) raw-dataset. We constructed a network of deregulated miRNAs and a set of differentially expressed genes publicly available from an independent study to in silico determine miRNAs that contribute to clear cell renal cell carcinogenesis. From a total of 1,672 sncRNAs, 61 were differentially expressed across all ccRCC tissue samples. Several with known implications in ccRCC development, like the upregulated miR-21-5p, miR-142-5p, as well as the downregulated miR-106a-5p, miR-135a-5p, or miR-206. Additionally, novel promising candidates like miR-3065, which i.a. targets NRP2 and FLT1, were detected in this study. Interaction network analysis revealed pivotal roles for miR-106a-5p, whose loss might contribute to the upregulation of 49 target mRNAs, miR-135a-5p (32 targets), miR-206 (28 targets), miR-363-3p (22 targets), and miR-216b (13 targets). Among these targets are the angiogenesis, metastasis, and motility promoting oncogenes c-MET, VEGFA, NRP2, and FLT1, the latter two coding for VEGFA receptors.
In this article, I review select institutional and analytical traditions of Legal History in 20th century Germany, in order to put forth some recommendations for the future development of our discipline. A careful examination of the evolution of Legal History in Germany in the last twenty-five years, in particular, reveals radical transformations in the research framework: Within the study of law, there has been a shift in the internal reference points for Legal History. While the discipline is opening up to new understandings of law and to its neighboring disciplines, its institutional position at the law departments has become precarious. Research funding is being allocated in new ways and the German academic system is witnessing ever more internal differentiation. Internationally, German contributions and analytic traditions are receiving less attention and are being marginalized as new regions enter into a global dialogue on law and its history. The German tradition of research in Legal History had for long been setting benchmarks internationally; now it has to reflect upon and react to new global knowledge systems that have emerged in light of the digital revolution and the transnationalization of legal and academic systems. If legal historians in Germany accept the challenge these changing conditions pose, thrilling new intellectual and also institutional opportunities emerge. Especially the transnationalization of law and the need for a transnational legal scholarship offers fascinating perspectives for Legal History.
For centuries, it may have seemed as if standards of normative thinking now valid across the globe had first been instituted in Europe. These normative orders form the foundations of our verdicts that define and distinguish right and wrong, good and bad or even beautiful and ugly. But in order to better understand the global presence of such normative orders that evolved from within the European horizon, the history and implications of European expansion in the early modern era cannot be swept under the rug. ...
In the article the state of forming of communicative competence of future lawyers in higher education of Ukraine and Germany is analyzed. There is made the comparative description of preparation of the students of law faculty with an accent on forming of communicative competence on the example of the University of modern knowledge (Ukraine) and Frankfort university is named after Goethe (Germany).
It is drawn the conclusion, that the structure of professional preparation of future lawyers is folded educational and cognitive, research constituents, and also productive practice. A main place is taken to conception of communicative preparation of the future lawyers, the essence of it consists in integration of the special courses of the special and professional disciplines, in continuous perfection of skills of the verbal and writing broadcasting, receptions of analytical mental work, that need knowledge. It is also outlined the aim of productive practice of future lawyers in Ukraine that begins from the second course: the forming of professional abilities and skills of acceptance of independent decisions; the education of necessity systematic to proceed the knowledge, to promote a legal culture and professional legal consciousness; to teach to apply knowledge in practical activity. In Germany the practice for future lawyers begins from the first course and lasts two years in legal establishments (from civil cases, court from criminal cases or office of public prosecutor, administrative and managerial establishments, advocacy). The sign line of studies is an active collaboration with the faculties of law of the foreign states. All these factors assist the forming of communicative competence of lawyers.
Die Welt des Rechts lässt sich heute nicht mehr so leicht in nationale oder internationale Sphären ordnen. Wo Lawmaker als private Akteure in einer globalisierten Ökonomie die Normen häufig nachhaltiger bestimmen als staatliches Recht, da ändern sich auch die Anforderungen an die Rechtswissenschaft.

Das Verhältnis zwischen den Frankfurtern und ihrer Universität ist ein wechselvolles: gestiftet und großzügig unterstützt von Bürgern und Stadtpolitikern, gepflegt in den harten Jahren der Inflation, gleichgeschaltet und wissenschaftlich ausgehungert während des Nationalsozialismus, entfremdet und abgelehnt nach der Studentenrevolte in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren, wiederentdeckt ab den 1980er Jahren, geschätzt und gefördert seit der (Rück-)Verwandlung in eine Stiftungsuniversität (2008).
