CCGES is pleased to announce that new issues of both Centre-housed journals, spacesofidentity and the German Law Journal. Review of Developments in German, European and International Jurisprudence, are now available online.
www.spacesofidentity.net is an interdisciplinary, open-access journal about tradition, cultural boundaries, and identity formation in Central Europe (and beyond). After going “beyond” Central Europe in our summer issue, which with “the other East” on occasion of the Beijing Olympics, the latest issue returns to the multiple layers of identity formation processes in Central Europe.
Contributions to this issue include:
Meanwhile, the latest issue of the German Law Journal, available at www.germanlawjournal.com, contains a small Symposium dedicated to the English translation of the volume ‘Der Gespaltene Westen’ (Frankfurt, 2004; transl. 2006) by Jürgen Habermas. The greatly intriguing and thought provoking essays found in this volume, along with the approach of Habermas’ 80th birthday this coming June, inspired the editors to invite a number of experts on the work of Habermas and on international law to share their views on this important phase in Habermas’ scholarship, the results of which are found in the journal’s latest issue.
