Handbuch der Europaischen Grundrechte
Sebastian F.,Die Idee zur Anfertigung dieses Handbuchs zum Grundrechtsschutz in der Eu ropäischen Union (EU) entstand im Jahr 2000, das in grundrechtlicher Hinsicht zum einen durch eine deutlichere Konkretisierung des sog. Kooperationsverhält nisses zwischen dem deutschen Bundesverfassungsgericht und dem Gerichtshof der Europäischen Gemeinschaften (EuGH) und zum anderen durch die feierliche Proklamation der Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union (im Folgen- den: Grundrechtecharta) am 7. Dezember 2000 anlässlich des Gipfels der Staats- und Regierungschefs in Nizza geprägt wurde. Vor diesem Hintergrund haben es sich die beteiligten Autorinnen und Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis zum Ziel gesetzt, eine umfassende Bestandsaufnahme des geltenden Grundrechtsstandards in der EU vorzunehmen, die als Grundlage für einen Vergleich nicht nur mit dem Grundrechtsschutz in Deutschland, sondern auch in anderen Mitgliedstaaten sowie demjenigen unter der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention herangezogen werden kann. Ein solcher Vergleich ist nicht nur nach der Rechtsprechung des deutschen Bundesverfassungsgerichts, sondern auch nach der jüngsten Entschei dungspraxis des Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte in Straßburg von Bedeutung.

International commercial agreements
Fox F.,Several years ago I participated in a number of international business transactions. Some concerned the drafting and negotiating of interna- tional commercial agreements. Some had to do with disputes that arose between the contracting parties after the contract was signed. One case required commencing a proceeding in a federal court in the United States to confirm a Swiss arbitral award rendered on behalf of a Greek company against a mid-eastern petroleum company that was a wholly owned subsidiary of a U.S. corporation. These cases taught me about the incredible complexity of the typical international com- mercial transaction and how different an international transaction is from a domestic transaction. As I tried to educate myself on all the issues that arise in either drafting or disputing an international con- tract, I found that the bulk of the literature in this area was either concentrated in multivolume treatises or scattered among law journal articles. Most of this literature was written by experts for experts. Legal jargon in a domestic setting is troublesome, but the assump- tions of expertise and the jargon used in the literature of internation- al commercial transactions can be overwhelming. These experiences revealed a need for a one-volume text that lawyers could turn to for fundamental information and analysis.

Law of International Trade
Chuah J.C.T.,Over the five years since the first edition, a number of developments required an updating of the text. The new edition incorporates these major changes including the enactment of the new French Civil Code in 2016, the new and expanded edition of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) in 2016, the publication of INCOTERMS 2020, and the adoption of the first comprehensive Chinese Civil Code (CCC), which will come into force on 1 January 2021. In addition, the book has been updated to include the constantly developing case law and the rapidly increasing literature on international sales law. The numbers of updates are too many to name but include recent events, such as a discussion of COVID-19 as a force majeure event, more in-depth discussion of agency law, and additional sample or model clauses. The 'Additional Sources' section has been updated with references to new secondary sources and scholarship. Another change is that references to the Common European Sales Law (CESL) have been limited to those issues and topics where the CESL offers solutions to practitioners and scholars in resolving practical and theoretical problems.

Die Europaische Union
Bieber R.,Die Europäische Union bildet eine dynamische, mit den Mitgliedstaaten eng verfloch- tene Ordnung, die zutreffend als Mehrebenensystem europäischen Regierens beschrie- ben wird. Die politische und rechtliche Eigenart der Europäischen Union erschließt sich daher erst in der Gesamtschau auf Verträge, institutionelle Praxis sowie deren Wirkung in den Mitgliedstaaten und im internationalen Bereich. Seit der Erweiterung im Jahre 2013 sind Bürger aus 28 Staaten durch gemeinsame Zie- le, Werte und eine gemeinsame Rechtsordnung verbunden. Diese umfasst längst nicht mehr nur Regeln für den Binnenmarkt, sondern bestimmt die Grundrechte der Bürger und reicht bis zu Strafrecht und Telekommunikation. Recht und Politik der Union wir- ken unmittelbar im Inneren und gestalten die Beziehungen zu europäische Nachbar- staaten und der Welt.

Mitgliedschaftseingriff und Normpragung
Geiger J.,This follows a tradition in continental systems, especially in Germany, where commentators all over the country analyse statutes, even those of minor importance. Therefore, the German publishing house Nomos took the initiative to commence this project, given that there are still rela- tively few commentaries on these important norms at international level. We discussed the concept and we were quickly convinced that a commentary from a European perspective could provide additional value for any legal practitioner, as well as for legal scholars. The commentary should provide information in order to grant a spe- cific European view, taking into account current legal debates with an EU law context. After a short period of discussion, we concluded that this book should not only provide observations on the EU legal framework. Instead, we wanted to include also internation- al and regional labour law: specifically, the International Labour Organisation and the Council of Europe. This reflects our conviction that it is not sufficient to consider only EU legal instruments, notwithstanding their important status in many of our jurisdic- tions. By adopting a wider perspective, we can find both old and new tools that enrich our interpretation of domestic labour law. Moreover, looking beyond the EU provides us with external benchmarks against which to evaluate the sufficiency of current EU labour law.

Commercial law
Mankowski P.,Cross-border trade substantially fosters the wealth of nations. Today it is a multi-tril- lion euros business. Cross-border dealings are in particularly dependent on reliable rules and legal certainty. Legal ramifications and a dependable legal framework are thus of the absolute essence. Commercial law is the branch of the law called upon to perform this task. In a cross-border, and that is: in a truly international context, this poses a particular challenge. Not surprisingly, international commercial law has become the main field of international legal unification. The commercial needs involved are all too pressing and too real to be ignored or neglected. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is said to be the greatest success of substantive uni- form law. The law of carriage of goods or passengers comes a close second if not an equal-ranked first. Beneath and besides this unification of law between States another level of 'private codifications' has developed over the last decades. Its most prominent protagonists are the Incoterms, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Letters of Credit (UCP) and the UNIDROIT Principles on International Commercial Contracts (PICC). The ensuing panorama is both complex and fascinating. Its fascina- tion also stems from the manifold interfaces and interactions between the various sub- branches of commercial law.

New York Convention
Beck C.H.,The rise of international arbitration is closely intertwined with the New York Convention's success. The Convention, with its 147 current Member States one of the most effective international instruments (if not the most effective) in the field of commercial law, has pioneered the unification of international arbitration. It has done so both by directly facilitating recognition and enforcement of foreign awards and by indirectly establishing standards for arbitral proceedings. Conversely, the considerable growth of international arbitration during the last decades has given the Convention a meaning which could hardly have been foreseen back in 1958. The Convention's unifying effect largely depends on the coherent interpretation and application of its provisions by the national courts. Only uniform interpretation allows one to predict the chances of success of an application for recognition and enforcement, which in turn furthers certainty in cross-border contracts and reduces transaction costs. The Convention's age Article II(2)'s reference to the conclusion of contracts by exchange of telegrams is telling and the dynamics during the 1958 conference, which resulted in remarkable last-minute amendments, reinforce the need for uniform interpretation.

International and European Labour Law
Ales E.,As time goes by... it was in summer 2014 when the publisher discussed with us the idea of an international commentary on European labour law. This follows a tradition in continental systems, especially in Germany, where commentators all over the country analyse statutes, even those of minor importance. Therefore, the German publishing house Nomos took the initiative to commence this project, given that there are still rela- tively few commentaries on these important norms at international level.

International Commercial Arbitration
Tesfay A.Y.,This book is the first-ever to explore commercial arbitration in the Ethiopian context. Alternative conflict resolution mechanisms are nothing new to the country: arbitration as a dispute settlement mechanism by which a third party issues a binding decision on a dispute between two or more parties by exercising the jurisdictional mandate conferred on it by the parties themselves was established with the adoption of the Civil Code in 1960. This pioneering book evaluates the extent to which Ethiopias laws and institutions allow disputing parties to effectively reap the benefits of international commercial arbitration. It interprets the relevant legislation and attempts to bridge the gaps in it, in order to help lawyers, arbitrators, arbitral institutions, academics and judges to understand and apply it. It also helps parties seeking to complete international transactions pertaining to Ethiopia make the right choice regarding conflict resolution.
