Allgemein, , , , , ,

Soeben ist das von Thomas Giegerich mitherausgegebene und teilweise mitverfasste Lehrbuch „Gender-Competent Legal Education“ beim Springer-Verlag in der Serie „Springer Textbooks in Law“ erschienen. Es handelt sich um das erste Lehrbuch seiner Art, das in 19 Kapiteln auf über 700 Seiten alle wichtigen Rechtsgebiete aus einer Gender-Perspektive neu betrachtet. Vorgeblendet ist ihm ein Allgemeiner Teil zur vergleichenden Rechtsgeschichte, zur feministischen politischen Theorie und Rechtstheorie, zur Rechtssoziologie, zu feminist judgments sowie zu gender research and feminist methodologies.

Das Lehrbuch soll weltweit ein gender mainstreaming in der juristischen Ausbildung unterstützen, die bislang in erster Linie „malestreamed“ gewesen ist. Die Autorinnen und Autoren mit rechts- und sozialwissenschaftlichem Hintergrund forschen und lehren an der Universität Belgrad (Serbien), der Universität Cadiz (Spanien), der LUMSA-Universität in Palermo (Italien), der Universität Örebro (Schweden) sowie der Universität des Saarlandes (Deutschland). Das Lehrbuch ist ein wichtiges Ergebnis des 2019 begonnenen gemeinsamen Erasmus+ Projekts unter dem Namen New Quality in Education for Gender Equality – Strategic Partnership for the Development of Master’s Study Program “Law and Gender” – LAWGEM.

Neben der käuflich zu erwerbenden gebundenen Ausgabe des Lehrbuchs (ISBN 978-3-031-14359-5) gibt es eine weltweit frei abrufbare Online-Version unter https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-14360-1?page=1#toc.

The textbook “Gender-Competent Legal Education”, co-edited and partly co-authored by Thomas Giegerich, has just been published by Springer Publishers in the series “Springer Textbooks in Law”. It is the first textbook of its kind to take a fresh look at all important areas of law from a gender perspective in 19 chapters on over 700 pages. It is preceded by a general part on comparative legal history, feminist political theory and legal theory, sociology of law, feminist judgments and gender research and feminist methodologies.

The textbook is intended to support gender mainstreaming in legal education worldwide, which has so far been primarily “malestreamed”. The authors, who have backgrounds in law and social sciences, research and teach at the University of Belgrade (Serbia), the University of Cadiz (Spain), LUMSA University in Palermo (Italy), Örebro University (Sweden) and Saarland University (Germany). The textbook is an important intellectual output of a joint Erasmus+ project launched in 2019 under the name New Quality in Education for Gender Equality – Strategic Partnership for the Development of Master’s Study Program “Law and Gender” – LAWGEM.

In addition to the hardback edition of the textbook (ISBN 978-3-031-14359-5), which is available for purchase, there also is an online version that is freely accessible worldwide at https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-14360-1?page=1#toc.

Prof. Giegerich’s contribution to online conference on Türkiye-EU Relations has been published

Allgemein, ,

The papers of the online conference “Legal Issues in Türkiye – European Union Relations” organized by the Jean Monnet Chair on Legal Issues in Turkey-EU Relations at the Law Faculty of Ankara University(Prof. Dr. İlke Göçmen) in which Prof. Giegerich participated on 17 March 2022 have just been published in e-book format by Ankara Üniversitesi Basimevi. The volume is accessible here. The volume includes Prof. Giegerich’s paper on “Common but Differentiated Responsibilities of Türkiye and the EU in Relation to Irregular Migration” (pp. 65 – 79). His conclusion is as follows (p. 79):

“Conclusion: CbDR Minus in the EU-TR MMP [Migration Management Partnership]

The EU-Türkiye MMP with various hard-law and soft-law components is characterised by a number of elements reminiscent of the altruistic principle of CbDR which is firmly established in international environmental law. However, the special legal and political relationship between the EU and Türkiye, based on the Ankara Agreement and the latter’s application for EU membership, intersects with the MMP and introduces egoistic elements into the partnership that seem to dominate the altruistic CbDR elements. The EU-Türkiye MMP is thus characterised by a reduced CbDR version that may be called “CbDR Minus”. Progress in the further development of the MMP will depend more on calculations of national interests on both sides than by the altruistic CbDR principle. Yet, if politics is the art of the feasible, why shouldit not be feasible to approximate the EU- Türkiye MMP to CbDR, not least by bringing the rights of irregular migrants more into focus that all partners are legally required to respect and protect?”
