The ever increasing relevance of European law which involves replacement or supplementation of and interaction with national law not only affects the states in Europe but also, and foremost, the citizens. The rights of the citizens in Europe are protected by the European Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. The aim of this textbook is to grasp and illustrate the meaning of these rights and to integrate it into a coherent system. For this purpose the book not only deals with the pertinent law of the European Union and the European Community, but also with the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms which, too, is becoming more and more important. In addition, regard is had to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the Union which forms part of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. Although the Charter is not yet legally binding since the Constitution has not been ratified by all EU Member States, the Community Courts already make reference to it as a concentrate of the constitutional traditions common to the Member States. It therefore does not seem entirely unlikely that the Charter might be included into the existing Treaties irrespective of the future constitutional developments on the EU level. On a similar anticipatory basis the book also takes into account those Protocols to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms that have not yet entered into force.

Hit by the European financial and economic crisis in 2008, several Member States of the European Monetary Union (EMU) were unable to refinance their public debt through the financial markets. As a result, they asked for financial assistance from international institutions and European financial assistance mechanisms. That assistance often came at a high price for citizens, cuts in pensions and social assistance, and controversial reforms in public healthcare. These far-reaching reforms were, in many cases, experienced as violations of people's human rights. National constitutional courts, the Court of Justice of the EU, and the European Court of Human Rights issued a series of rulings on the conformity of the reforms in social protection initiated during the Eurozone crisis. This book offers a holistic analysis of the specific reforms in social protection introduced during the European financial crisis and their implications for constitutional law. Focusing on the social reforms of nine European countries that were greatly affected by the financial crisis, the volume seeks to address the legacy of the financial crisis on the application of constitutional law and the welfare state. The book will act as a helpful tool to legal academics interested in the challenges of constitutional and social law initiated by financial assistance conditionality, to advocates in quest of sound legal bases for the protection of individuals affected by social security reforms, and to national and international judges who are confronted with cases that question the legality and legitimacy of the crisis-related reforms.

This workbook for students of German (levels A2, B1 and beyond) explains the rules for adjective endings in an easy to understand, not too academic way. In a step-by-step approach, each new rule is accompanied by numerous exercises. In addition to adjective endings, the book gives a concise overview of "der-words" and "ein-words" and their declension, of the grammatical cases in German and their usage, and provides a list of the most important prepositions and the cases that they require. A short dictionary lists all nouns and verbs (with grammatical explanations) used in the exercises. The student can find an Answer Key for all exercises at the end of the book. The author, Ulrich Becker, is an experienced German language teacher (25+ years) and translator, an author of prose, poetry, and essays in German and other languages, and a recipient of the Humboldt Award (Humboldt University of Berlin).

Futures sind eng mit Gewinnstreben verbunden. Gewinn ist eng mit Risiko verknüpft. Ganz ohne Risiko gibt es keinen Gewinn. Der Kampf gegen das Risiko wird bestimmt durch Glück, aber auch durch Sachkenntnis, Beurteilungsvermögen und Entschlußkraft. Das Verstehen von Zusammenhängen fuhrt zu Vorsprung. Ebenso Schnelligkeit bei der Entscheidungsfindung. Eigenheiten, Fachbegriffe und Usancen der Märkte sollten deshalb vertraut sein, praxisbezo gene Erläuterungen griffbereit zugänglich. Das Gabler Lexikon Terminhandel will Ihnen helfen, diese Voraussetzungen zu erfiillen. Prinzipiell ist der Handel mit Futures ein Muster an Einfachheit. Zum Kauf eines Futures auf Gold genügt der Anruf bei einem Broker oder einer Bank. Eine Übernahme und Lagerung von Goldbarren ist ebensowenig erforderlich, wie die Zahlnng des vollen Kontraktwertes. Zur Glattstellung des Kontraktes genügt es, ein kompensierendes Gegengeschäft durchzuführen. Sind die Goldkurse in der Zwischenzeit gestiegen, wird dem Konto ein Gewinn gutge schrieben. Spiegelbildlich ist es möglich, bei einer Erwartung fallender Kurse Gold leerzuver kaufen, ohne daß man es leihen oder besitzen muß. Abermals genügt eine deckungsgleiche Transaktion, um den Leerverkauf einzudecken. Erfolgt der Kauf zu einem tieferen Kurs, wird erneut ein Gewinn eingestrichen. Und dieses Prinzip bleibt unverändert, egal ob es sich um einen Future auf Devisen, Kaffee, einen Aktienindex, Sojabohnen, Weizen oder auf einen Zinssatz handelt. Wenn trotzdem gesagt wird, der Besitz eines Futures könne mehr Einsicht in die Funktionsweise der Wirtschaft vermitteln als zwei Studiensemester, so liegt das daran, daß der Kurs des Futures auf Gold nach dem Kauf auch abkippen kann.

European public discourse often frames (forced) migration solely as a security issue and ignores the implications of societal diversity for health, quality-of-life and well-being, in both Africa and Europe. The present volume offers an interdisciplinary and international look at the relationship between refugees, diversity, and health, including health care policies, socio-political framework conditions, environmental factors, the situation in refugee camps, quality-of-life approaches and economical perspectives.
