Beschreibung
From Asylum law to the future of the global trading order, Hans-Jörg Schmidt-Trenz provides answers to the pressing questions of our time. How do we sustain cooperation? How do we overcome the ever-present challenge of opportunism? What role do rules, sanctions, and boundaries play in this process? Drawing on both contemporary and historical examples, he takes the reader on a journey from criminal law to asylum law, from guiding culture (Leitkultur) to religion, from monetary and competition policy to patent law, and from the blessings and pitfalls of democratic majority rule to the independence of the judiciary and central banks. He also highlights the institutional factors that triggered the Industrial Revolution and shaped the rule-based economic, social, and international order whose players and rules are being reshuffled in the twenty-first century.

From Asylum Law to the Future of the Global Trading Order, Hans-Jörg Schmidt-Trenz Provides Answers to the Pressing Questions of Our Time
How do we navigate an increasingly complex world? What makes cooperation possible? How can we overcome the omnipresent challenge of opportunism? What role do rules, sanctions, and boundaries play? What will the trade and state order of the future look like? In this book, the author reveals the fundamental mechanisms of social life, the economy, and democracy, highlighting the necessity of the separation of powers and the shadow cast by anarchy. Drawing skillfully on historical examples, he illustrates how the rules that govern our lives operate across all areas of human activity.
Among other topics, he traces connections from criminal law to asylum law, from guiding culture (Leitkultur) to religion, from monetary and competition policy to patent law, from the blessings and pitfalls of democratic majority rule to the independence of the judiciary and central banks. He also identifies the institutional factors that triggered the Industrial Revolution and shaped the rule-based economic, social, and international order whose players and rules are being reshuffled in the twenty-first century.
How do rules emerge? How can rules and systems of order be improved? What holds the human world together, and what drives it apart?
