Zum Inhalt: Im Polizeidienst k nnen sich in unterschiedlichster Form Ber hrungspunkte mit dem Umweltrecht ergeben, insbesondere im Abfall-, Bodenschutz-, Gew sserschutz- und Immissionsschutzrecht (z.B. ruhest render L rm), aber auch in anderen Gebieten des Umweltrechts, beispielsweise dem Naturschutz- oder Gefahrstoffrecht. Das deutsche Umweltrecht stellt sich als Querschnitt aus diversen Einzelmaterien dar und wird durch Aspekte wie die Verwaltungsakzessoriet t, aber auch durch zunehmende europarechtliche Einfl sse gepr gt; nicht nur dadurch, sondern auch aufgrund zahlreicher Einzelprobleme gestaltet sich das Umweltrecht als in Teilen schwierige und komplexe Rechtsmaterie. Im vorliegenden Buch wird das Umweltrecht bezogen auf den Polizeidienst systematisch dargestellt und erkl rt. Ziel ist dabei, vor allem ein Gesamtverst ndnis f r die Materie zu erzeugen, dem Umweltrecht zugrunde liegende systembildende Faktoren aufzuzeigen sowie diverse Einzelprobleme n her zu verdeutlichen, zugleich aber auch ein Gesp r f r umweltrechtliche Sachverhalte im Polizeidienst zu wecken. Zu Beginn werden hierzu grunds tzliche Aspekte sowie die relevanten Rechtsnormen im Umweltrecht dargestellt, bevor weiterf hrend im Schwerpunkt das Umweltstrafrecht und das Umweltverwaltungsrecht - mit besonderem Fokus auf das Abfall-, Bodenschutz-, Gew sserschutz- und Immissionsschutzrecht - erl utert und erkl rt werden. Zum besseren Verst ndnis sollen 18 F lle nebst L sungshinweisen beitragen, die sich den generellen Ausf hrungen teilweise anschlie en. Nebenbei enth lt das Buch auch berblicksartige Ausf hrungen zu Abfalltransporten, polizeilichen Grunds tzen bei der Aufnahme von umweltrechtlichen Sachverhalten oder zu ausgew hlten polizeilichen Sachverhalten, wie das Verbrennen von Abf llen oder Eins tze im Zusammenhang mit asbesthaltigen Produkten, um einer ganzheitlichen Betrachtung der Materie Umweltrecht bezogen auf den Polizeidienst gerecht zu werden. Auch wenn das Kompendium vorrangig auf Studentinnen und Studenten fokussiert ist, richten sich die Ausf hrungen durchaus auch an Juristen und Praktiker, die mit der Anwendung des Umweltrechts im Alltag betraut sind. Sofern landesrechtliche Bestimmungen oder Stellen einschl gig sind, orientieren sich diese vorliegend an denen des Bundeslandes Rheinland-Pfalz. Der Autor: Matthias P selt, Polizeioberrat, Jurist, Polizeibeamter im gehobenen und h heren Polizeidienst, in der Schutz- und Kriminalpolizei, in Polizeipr sidien, auf Ministeriumsebene und derzeit als hauptamtlicher Dozent an der Hochschule der Polizei Rheinland-Pfalz im Fachgebiet Allgemeines Verwaltungsrecht / Polizeirecht t tig, Master of Arts f r ffentliche Verwaltung und Polizeimanagement, Bachelor of Laws, Diplom-Verwaltungswirt (FH).

Featuring a selection of brand new essays by a group of accomplished scholars, Arthur Koestler's Fiction and the Genre of the Novel covers all of Koestler's novels published in his lifetime, the first book to attempt this in English since Mark Levene's Arthur Koestler, published thirty-seven years ago. The team of contributors, with research backgrounds in history, political science, religious studies, law, linguistics and journalism besides literature, offers a truly multidisciplinary take on how Koestler's novels utilize, and at times transcend, the genre of the novel, and argues for their enduring relevance and appeal in the twenty-first century, inviting the reader to revisit and reassess them. With the topics of Koestler's novels including terrorism, massive migration, espionage, rape trauma, war trauma, the crisis of faith, propaganda, fake news and the role and responsibility of intellectuals in major international crises, as the volume aims to show, these texts are just as topical today, as they were at the time of their publication.

Law of Administrative Organization of the EU
Matthias Ruffert
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2020
sidottu
With the transfer of ever more tasks and competences to the European level the EU's administration has become increasingly complex, with 'agencification' as the most visible sign of this differentiation. This book offers a much-needed analytical overview of the field, with the aim of improving our understanding of administration at the European level, and indeed of improving the administration itself.Importantly, the book takes a comparative approach, examining the parallels and differences with the US law of administrative organization - and demonstrates that it is not sufficient to consider the respective laws of important Member States in isolation. Using this comparison as a vehicle, the book provides a rounded conceptualization of the law of administrative organization of the EU. This includes a reasoned proposal for a reformed Art. 298 TFEU to address deficiencies in the EU's administrative organization and to enhance administrative legitimacy in the EU.Legal scholars undertaking research in the field of European and administrative law and civil servants working for Member States or European institutions will appreciate the scholarly thoroughness of this book.

Drawing on previously inaccessible and overlooked archival sources, The Herero Genocide undertakes a groundbreaking investigation into the war between colonizer and colonized in what was formerly German South-West Africa and is today the nation of Namibia. In addition to its eye-opening depictions of the starvation, disease, mass captivity, and other atrocities suffered by the Herero, it reaches surprising conclusions about the nature of imperial dominion, showing how the colonial state’s genocidal posture arose from its own inherent weakness and military failures. The result is an indispensable account of a genocide that has been neglected for too long.
"So I made up my mind to open my heart for at least five minutes to this man who just looks at people in silence. During the encounter I felt more love than I could have ever imagined -- pure love. I felt that I was loved. On precisely that day, all pain fell away from me." ... “It’s a very intense light he awakens in people.” ... "When he looked at me, I felt like someone was wiping away all my worries," said visitors from Germany, Austria and the USA after an event with Braco. It is impressive to stand in front of a person who gazes at the visitors of his events in silence. No gripping speech, no new teachings or wisdom -- especially no new religion -- just silence. Braco has the courage to stand in front of thousands of people at events and congresses. He has a gift some scientists say the world has not yet seen in this form. In 2012, Braco received a peace prize at the UN in New York. A German doctor wrote this book after his own intense experiences with Braco and his gaze. More than 70 visitors to the events with Braco have their say, including doctors, psychologists, scientists of physics, biochemistry and health sciences, as well as consciousness researchers and a theologian. The visitors' direct experiences and the scientists' expertises bring the reader closer to the unknown, which has no name but, through Braco's gaze, brings happiness and health back to people.
Based on new archival sources, Freedom for Capital, Not People tells the story of how the Mont Pèlerin Society transformed the world economy. Founded in 1947 by economist Friedrich von Hayek, by the turn of the 1970s the society commanded influence at the highest levels of international monetary policy - with debates sparked by Hayek, Milton Friedman and Ludwig von Mises emigrating from the seminar room to the halls of power. The group's collective agenda, the result of years of fierce argument and shrewd political strategising, would dominate the next half century of global capitalism.
Antisemitism in Online Communication: Transdisciplinary Approaches to Hate Speech in the Twenty-First Century

The normalisation of hate speech, including antisemitic rhetoric, poses a significant threat to social cohesion and democracy. While global efforts have been made to counter contemporary antisemitism, there is an urgent need to understand its online manifestations. Hate speech spreads easily across the internet, facilitated by anonymity and reinforced by algorithms that favour engaging--even if offensive--content. It often takes coded forms, making detection challenging.Antisemitism in Online Communication addresses these issues by analysing explicit and implicit antisemitic statements in mainstream online discourse. Drawing from disciplines such as corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, semiotics, history, and philosophy, this edited collection examines over 100,000 user comments from three language communities. Contributors explore various facets of online antisemitism, including its intersectionality with misogyny and its dissemination through memes and social networks. Through case studies, they examine the reproduction, support, and rejection of antisemitic tropes, alongside quantitative assessments of comment structures in online discussions. Additionally, the volume delves into the capabilities of content moderation tools and deep-learning models for automated hate speech detection. This multidisciplinary approach provides a comprehensive understanding of contemporary antisemitism in digital spaces, recognising the importance of addressing its insidious spread from multiple angles.
