But the road to paradigm shift is never easy—and rarely straightforward—and reveals many truths of its own.
WHAT IF YOUR LOVED ONES COULD SEND LETTERS FROM THE AFTERLIFE? Living Beyond Fear gives powerful testimony to a world of spirits eager to communicate with those of us who can tune in and listen.

Although single fathers as primary careers are on the rise, most single-parent households in the US are headed by women. These women are a lucrative market for parenting books and most of these books are aimed at single mothers raising sons. This intersectional study analyses the way in which these advice books draw on mother blame language, misconceptions of neuropsychological research and traditional conceptualisations of masculinity and femininity to convince the mother readers that they are unable to raise a son to be a man. The study further connects the advice books to a cultural backlash against ideas of ‘involved fatherhood’ and ‘caring masculinity’, exploring how the authors argue for a return to traditional family structures.

Bei der Bestimmung des anwendbaren materiellen Rechts im Falle eines Sachverhalts mit grenzüberschreitenden Bezügen stößt der Rechtsuchende bisweilen auf territoriale Mehrrechtsstaaten, innerhalb derer mehrere Rechtsordnungen in verschiedenen räumlichen Gebieten nebeneinander existieren. Dann fragt sich, wie aus den verschiedenen Rechtsordnungen eine einzelne Partikularrechtsordnung auszuwählen ist.Auf diese Frage nach der Unteranknüpfung, eines der umstrittensten Probleme des IPR, sucht die Autorin eine Antwort, sowohl auf nationaler als auch auf europäischer Rechtsebene. Dazu betrachtet sie rechtsvergleichend die historischen Ursprünge der Problembehandlung, untersucht die Entwicklung der Regelungen in den Haager Übereinkommen, die nationale Vorschrift des Art. 4 III EGBGB sowie die Unteranknüpfungsregelungen der Europäischen Verordnungen und bietet abschließend einen Lösungsvorschlag.
Berit Völzmann stellt den Zugang zu Gericht in einen demokratietheoretischen Kontext und arbeitet den Zugang zur Verwaltungsgerichtsbarkeit als Ermöglichung von Deliberation heraus. Sie zeigt die historischen Gründe für die Entwicklung des Systems subjektiven Rechtsschutzes und die zugrundeliegenden funktionalen Prämissen auf und analysiert die Schwächen des bisherigen Systems. Die aus dem demokratietheoretischen Zugriff gewonnenen Erkenntnisse vergleicht die Autorin mit dem Zugang zur gerichtlichen Verwaltungskontrolle in Frankreich und der Schweiz. Auch die bereits erfolgten Weiterungen der Zugangsmöglichkeit im deutschen System -originär nationaler, wie auch unional und völkerrechtlich angestoßener - werden demokratietheoretisch eingeordnet. Die Abhandlung mündet in einer Aktualisierung des Verwaltungsrechtsschutzes in der modernen Demokratie.
