Book 64 of 107: British Library Crime Classics
Synopsis
"Readers who know Scotland will glow with recognition; those who don't will want to pack their bags and maybe a gun." ―Kirkus Reviews
From the Highlands to the borders, the bustling cities to the remote isles in cold seas, the unique landscapes and locales of Scotland have long inspired writers of the very best Golden Age mysteries. Beginning with the adventures of Sherlock Holmes from Edinburgh-born Arthur Conan Doyle, this new collection includes the ingenious scientific mysteries of Anthony Wynne, the dark and sardonic work of Margot Bennett and contributions from neglected yet brilliant authors such as Scobie Mackenzie and R. T. Campbell.

Paperback. Condition: Like New. In der Weimar-Diskussion hat sich ein Paradigmenwechsel vollzogen: Nicht mehr vom Scheitern einer Republik durch Verfassungsmangel, sondern vom revolutionaren und grossen demokratischen Experimentierkasten ist nun starker die Rede. Ein vergleichender Blick auf Revolution und Staatstheorie der Wiener Republik wird dabei eher selten geworfen. Es zeigt sich, dass mit Hugo Preuss und Hans Kelsen nicht nur zwei demokratische Vordenker die staatsrechtliche Diskussion um die neuen Verfassungen in Weimar und Wien gepragt haben. Beide Verfassungsvater sind entgegen identitarer Konzepte von Volk oder auch Klasse vielmehr Vordenker einer offenen, pluralistischen Gesellschaft. Sie zahlen daher bis heute zur deutschsprachigen Avantgarde moderner Demokratie- und Verfassungstheorie. Das Recht und Politik-Beiheft Nr. 3 spurt diesen parallelen Zusammenhangen von Revolution, Verfassung und Pluralismus in Weimar und Wien nach. Mit dem Wiener Staatsrechtler Leo Wittmayer wird dabei auch ein weiterer Parteien- und Pluralismustheoretiker wiederentdeckt. Seller Inventory # 00097505751
