Vor Und Nachteile Einer Trennung Von Post Und Fernmeldewesen

Die Studie untersucht die Vor- und Nachteile einer Trennung von Post-und Fernmeldewesen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Dazu wird zunächst die Situation im Ausland, insbesondere in Großbritannien beschrieben. Auf der Basis theoretischer und empirischer Untersuchungen werden dann die Vor- und Nachteile der Einheit von Post- und Fernmeldewesen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in ihrer bisherigen Form abgewogen. Die Studie kommt entgegen der bisher allgemein vertretenen Auffassung zu dem Ergebnis, daß die Argumente, die für eine Trennung der beiden Bereiche sprechen, gewichtiger sind als die Argumente für eine Einheit von Post- und Fernmeldewesen. Die Untersuchung wurde im Auftrag der Regierungskommission Fernmeldewesen 1986 erstellt. Sie hatte Einfluß auf die Ausgestaltung der Postreform.

The case for a smarter “prosumer law” approach to Internet regulation that would better protect online innovation, public safety, and fundamental democratic rights. Internet use has become ubiquitous in the past two decades, but governments, legislators, and their regulatory agencies have struggled to keep up with the rapidly changing Internet technologies and uses. In this groundbreaking collaboration, regulatory lawyer Christopher Marsden and computer scientist Ian Brown analyze the regulatory shaping of “code”—the technological environment of the Internet—to achieve more economically efficient and socially just regulation. They examine five “hard cases” that illustrate the regulatory crisis: privacy and data protection; copyright and creativity incentives; censorship; social networks and user-generated content; and net neutrality. The authors describe the increasing “multistakeholderization” of Internet governance, in which user groups argue for representation in the closed business-government dialogue, seeking to bring in both rights-based and technologically expert perspectives. Brown and Marsden draw out lessons for better future regulation from the regulatory and interoperability failures illustrated by the five cases. They conclude that governments, users, and better functioning markets need a smarter “prosumer law” approach. Prosumer law would be designed to enhance the competitive production of public goods, including innovation, public safety, and fundamental democratic rights.

The study of European integration produced much scholarly debate in the 1950s and '60s. The following two decades saw few works on European integration that included more elaborate discussions of theory and methodology; most studies in that period were fairly descriptive. In recent years there has been renewed theoretical interest in European integration. This book, however, is one of the first to discuss and apply various political-economy approaches explicitly to integration, including classical integration theory and modern public choice theories. Areas covered include common policies and decision making, as well as the external relations of the EU. The influence of the European Parliament, the concept of subsidiarity, trade policy, Economic and Monetary Union, reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, relations with EFTA and Eastern European countries, as well as enlargement, are all discussed. Audience: Of interest to both scholars and policy makers concerned with these issues.

Reporting the results of a research project by the Institute for the Study of Labor in Germany and the Rockwool Foundation Research Unit in Denmark, contributors examine the effects of immigration to those two countries on both the immigrants and the societies they that migrated to. They consider demographic trends, educational and labor market factors, and immigrants' use of the social services. They also look at crime, salaries and employment of the host population, and the financial sustainability of the welfare state. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
