Sommario/riassunto

In sexual relations, consent makes the difference between pleasure and



crime. Yet, due to the impact of personal, social, and cultural conditions on sexual interactions, defining the prerequisites of legally valid consent to sexual acts presents great challenges. This volume collects essays, national reports, and a comparative synopsis authored by experts from eleven jurisdictions. The broad spectrum of contributions provides policymakers and jurists interested in sexual crime with up-to-date information and legal argument. Elisa Hoven and Thomas Weigend are professors of criminal law at the universities of Leipzig and Cologne active in developing criminal policy. They have done extensive research in comparative criminal law. With contributions by Asst.-Prof. Dr. Baris Atladi; Dr. Gian Marco Caletti; Dr. Andrew Dyer, LL.B, LL.M; Prof. Aya Gruber, J.D.; Dr. Lyndon Harris, Barrister; Prof. Dr. Elisa Hoven; Prof. Dr. Wojciech Jasiński; Dr. Karolina Kremens; Prof. Dr. Kai Lindenberg; Dr. Sebastian Mayr; Dr. Hannah Quirk; Dr. Nora Scheidegger; Univ.-Prof. Dr. Kurt Schmoller; Dr. Linnea Wegerstad and Prof. Dr. Thomas Weigend.

Sommario/riassunto

Over the last two decades, it has become clear that Russia insists on its great power status, even at considerable cost. Chasing Greatness provides an interpretive explanation of the tacit rules that shape Russia's great power identity today. Anatoly Reshetnikov argues that this never-ending chase for greatness is a result of how Russia and its predecessors--including the USSR, Russian Empire, Muscovy, and Kievan Rus'--historically interacted with its neighbors to the east, the south, and particularly the west. By analyzing an extensive amount of original source material, including primary sources that have not been previously translated into English, he is able to reconstruct a millennial history of the Russian concepts that express political greatness. He also traces numerous encounters between Russia and the West, as well as Russia's troubled integration into the European society of states in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, to show how these concepts have affected Russia's interaction with international society. Despite its substantive historical depth, Chasing Greatness is not a book of history. Rather, it is a synthesizing social science work inspired by the continental tradition of the critical history of modernity. As such, the book is more about the present than about the past. Its main aim is to expose and explain the rich conceptual baggage behind Russia's unceasing great power rhetoric (domestic and international) and how this rhetoric drives the current international crises involving Russia.
