Sommario/riassunto

Much of the discussion of Russia's recent post-Communist history has amounted, both in Russia and the West, to a series of monologues by strong-minded people with starkly divergent views. In contrast, Padma Desai's conversations with influential, intelligent participants and observers providethe reader with a broad, nuanced view of what has



and has not happened in the last fourteen years, and why. Conversations from Russia will thus serve as a much-needed reference volume, both for academics who study Russia and for laypeople who only have vague perceptions of what has occurred inRussia since

Sommario/riassunto

Die deutsche Wiedervereinigung von 1989/90 steht exemplarisch für grundlegende geopolitische Veränderungen im Zusammenhang eines Wechsels des gesamten Rechtsrahmens. Daneben sind die grosse Strafrechtsreform aus dem Jahre 1975, die Schuldrechtsreform von 2002 oder die grundlegende Neuordnung des Rechts in Bezug auf zahlungsunfähige Schuldner namhafte Beispiele eines innerstaatlichen Reformwillens von rechtsgrundsätzlicher Art. Umso mehr ist das koreanische Interesse an den deutschen Erfahrungen der letzten 25 Jahre nicht nur rein rechtshistorisch begründet, sondern insbesondere auch in dem potentiellen Fall einer koreanischen Wiedervereinigung zu sehen. Der vorliegende Band umfasst die Beiträge des vierten



Symposiums der Juristischen Fakultät der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen mit der Yonsei Law School (Seoul), welches im Februar 2015 in Göttingen ausgerichtet wurde. Band 18 der Reihe "Göttinger Juristische Schriften" Die Reihe wird von der Juristischen Fakultät der Georg-August-Universität herausgegeben und macht Veranstaltungen an der Fakultät einer interessierten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich,

The German reunification of 1989/90 is an example of fundamental geopolitical changes in connection with a change in the entire legal framework. In addition, the major criminal law reform from 1975, the law of obligations reform of 2002 and the fundamental reorganization of the law with regard to insolvent debtors are well-known examples of a domestic reform will of a fundamentally legal nature. The Korean interest in the German experience of the last 25 years is all the more important Purely based on legal history, but also to be seen in the potential case of Korean reunification. The present volume includes the contributions of the fourth symposium of the law faculty of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen with the Yonsei Law School (Seoul), which was held in February 2015 in Göttingen. Volume 18 of the series “Göttingen Legal Writings” The series is published by the Law Faculty of the Georg-August University and makes events at the Faculty accessible to an interested public.
