View Rights PortalThe effectiveness of international law depends upon the willingness of states to comply with its provisions. Despite the current move towards binding international law, every international organisation grapples with serious instances of non-compliance. As a reaction, numerous international courts and arbitration bodies have been strengthened in the last two decades. Unlike their domestic counterparts, international courts cannot rely on the monopoly of legitimate force as a last resort for restoring compliance. This raises the question under which conditions international courts are nevertheless able to promote compliance with international norms - even against the initial will of the affected states. This book looks at the European Court of Justice (ECJ) as an example of a court, which can apply judicial discourses, judgments and sanction-threats to cases in which states are reluctant to comply. Overall, the ECJ is very successful in ending norm violations through its compliance-instruments. However, some cases require up to 17 years or even a threat with sanctions until the effectiveness of European law is restored, while others are settled somewhat faster via judgments, or very quickly through judicial discourses. The book shows that issue-specific variables, such as the nature of the issue, its interpretational scope, its fit to domestic ideas, influence whether one of the three compliance instruments successfully induces compliance - even against the strong initial will of member states. ;
Warum heißt der Fliegenpilz auch Krötenstuhl? Wie schafft es der Austernpilz, Fadenwürmer zu fangen? Und was hat der Faltentintling mit Tinte zu tun? Das sind nur einige der Fragen, die »Das kleine Pilzbuch« in 30 Porträts beantwortet. Das Reich der Pilze ist voller Überraschungen, denn mit den landläufig als Pilz bezeichneten Fruchtkörpern sehen wir nur einen Bruchteil des gesamten Organismus. Catrin Cohnen entführt uns in die faszinierende Welt der Pilze mit ihrer Vielgestaltigkeit und zeigt ihre Bedeutung für den Menschen: als Nahrungsmittel und Medizin, aber auch als Gift und Zerstörer. Sie erzählt auch von den kulturhistorischen Hintergründen, von Sagen und Märchen, in denen Pilze eine Rolle spielen. Liebevoll detailreiche Aquarelle von Diana Lawniczak illustrieren den Band.
Von den mythologischen Genealogien bis zu historischen Augenzeugenberichten, von der rein geographischen Reiseleitung über die archäologische Rekonstruktion bis hin zur politischen Geschichte hat Diana L. Eck eine Liebeserklärung und zugleich ein Standardwerk geschaffen.
