Die in "Diversität und Demokratie" versammelten Beiträge fokussieren die Zukunft der sprachlichen und politischen Bildung im Lichte gesellschaftlicher Vielfalt aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive. Sie thematisieren die Rolle der Sprache in der politischen und des Politischen in der sprachlichen Bildung und damit die Verknüpfung von edukativen Praktiken, politischen Diskursen und Sprachhandeln. Angesichts sich rasch wandelnder Rahmenbedingungen - etwa in Hinblick auf Dynamiken sozialer, kultureller und sprachlicher Diversifikation, Digitalisierungsprozesse wie auch Prävention und Bewältigung von gesellschaftlichen Krisen - geben sie demokratiepädagogische Denkanstöße und Entwicklungsimpulse.

Depuis les référendums sur le feu Traité constitutionnel européen en 2005 et suite au déclenchement de la crise de la dette souveraine d’Etats membres de la zone euro en 2009, la confiance accordée par les citoyens à l’Union européenne et aux gouvernements qui la composent s’affaiblit. Le scrutin pour désigner le nouveau Parlement européen en mai 2014 a confirmé ce « réalignement électoral » au profit de forces politiques qui sont classées et/ou qui se considèrent parfois elles-mêmes comme relevant du « populisme ». Ce rapport de force inédit nous oblige à traiter « à nouveaux frais » de l’identité des populismes et de leurs rapports à la démocratie d’autant plus qu’ils aspirent désormais, s’ils ne l’ont pas déjà fait, à exercer des fonctions gouvernementales.

Alternative Dispute Resolution and Tax Disputes

The increased complexity of international tax rules since the inception of the BEPS project created the need for alternative dispute resolution. This realisation has led both the international community and European Union institutions to expand on the possibilities for intergovernmental mechanisms to address diverging interpretation of treaty rules by tax administrations in treaty partner states. These give rise to many questions on the implementation and integration of the new rules into domestic (court) procedures, their correct interpretation, and best practices in their application by tax officials, lawyers and arbitrators. This book addresses these questions in a holistic manner, starting with a comprehensive analysis of existing tax treaty norms and their practical application in MAP and arbitration procedures (Chapters 1–4). In its second part, it offers a timely expert analysis of primary and secondary EU law rules on tax dispute resolution, detailing the specifics of Directive 2017/1852 as well as their interaction with EU general principles, fundamental rights and internal market norms (Chapters 5–6). Next, Chapters 7–9 consider the taxpayer’s position in the primarily administrative dispute resolution process, focussing on taxpayer rights, the domestic legal remedies relevant to the implementation and review of MAPs and the merits of mediation as a tool for taxpayers to resolve disputes with tax administrations. Finally, the fourth part of this book (Chapters 10–13) considers the relevance for tax disputes of mechanisms found in trade and investment law, both as a source of insight for the improvement of tax-specific procedures and as mechanisms that can be applied directly to tax disputes.

L’histoire environnementale comme discipline des sciences historiques a connu depuis les années 1990 une attention accrue. Ces dernières années l’intérêt pour l’analyse historique des influences humaines sur l’environnement et pour l’exploitation des ressources naturelles a encore augmenté à la suite d’une prise de conscience accrue de la société et des médias pour le changement climatique qui s’accélère et l’environnement naturel qui se dégrade. De nombreuses publications témoignent de la fertilité d’une approche interdisciplinaire et régionale de cette thématique au cœur d’un cycle de conférence organisé par l’Institut d’Histoire de l’Université du Luxembourg pour les étudiants en Bachelor en cultures européennes également ouvert aux auditeurs libres ainsi qu’aux membres du grand public durant le semestre d'été 2021, dont le présent volume reprend les actes.

Like most school subjects and their respective mother sciences and research areas, physical education faces severe challenges caused by recent political and social developments. Due to the implementation of international guidelines and increased immigration, inclusion and intercultural learning, as well as corresponding teacher training, will be critical issues for the educational sciences in general and for physical education in particular. This applies also to the use of new information and communication technology. How, how often, under what conditions and for what purpose should tools such as tablets, software apps and activity trackers be used by physical education teachers and other physical activity educators and practitioners? What are the benefits and the risks? However, the most relevant problem the field of physical education and physical activity is currently confronted with is the changing physical activity behaviour of children and youth, particularly in developed countries. A joint effort of researchers, educationalists, politicians, and teachers is needed to determine the causes of young people’s physical inactivity and develop effective strategies and programmes that can be implemented in school as well as community settings in general. At the 4th CIAPSE Congress in Luxembourg, leading researchers and educationalists from all over Europe addressed these challenges and developments and presented innovative concepts. The main topics and sub-themes were: - The Promotion of Physical Activity and Play in Children - Physical Literacy in Children - Physical Education in Early Childhood and Primary Education - Physical Education Teacher Education in Early Childhood and Primary Education - Physical Activity in Active School Settings - Physical Activity for Health Promotion and Active Community in a Sustainable and Healthy World - Intercultural Learning, Diversity and Inclusion in Physical Education and Physical Activity - Physical Education, Physical Activity and New Technologies [less ▲]

This open access book focuses on migrant and minority cemetery needs through the conceptual lens of the mobilities of the living and the dead. In doing so, the book brings migration and mobility studies into much-needed dialogue with death studies to explore the symbolically and politically important issue of culturally inclusive spaces of cemeteries and crematoria for migrants and established minorities. The book addresses majority and minority cemetery and crematoria provisions and practices in a range of North West European contexts. It describes how the planning, management and use of cemeteries and crematoria in multicultural societies can tell us about the everyday lived experiences of migration and migrant heritage, urban diversity, social inclusion and exclusion in Europe, and how these relate to migrant and minority experience of lived citizenship, practices of territoriality and bordering, colonial/postcolonial narratives. The book will be of interest to readers in the fields of migration/mobilities studies and death studies, as well as policy makers and practitioners, such as local government officers, cemetery managers and city planners.

The application of digital technologies to historical newspapers have changed the research landscape historians were used to. An Eldorado? Despite undeniable advantages, the new digital affordance of historical newspapers also transforms research practices and confronts historians with new challenges. Drawing on a growing community of practices, the impresso project invited scholars experienced with digitised newspaper collections with the aim of encouraging a discussion on heuristics, source criticism and interpretation of digitized newspapers. This volume provides a snapshot of current research on the subject and offers three perspectives: how digitisation is transforming access to and exploration of historical newspaper collections; how automatic content processing allows for the creation of new layers of information; and, finally, what analyses this enhanced material opens up. ‘impresso - Media Monitoring of the Past’ is an interdisciplinary research project that applies text mining tools to digitised historical newspapers and integrates the resulting data into historical research workflows by means of a newly developed user interface. The question of how best to adapt text mining tools and their use by humanities researchers is at the heart of the impresso enterprise. [less ▲]

Professeur des Universités en histoire des relations internationals contemporaines à l’Université Paul Verlaine de Metz puis à Sciences Po Strasbourg, Sylvain Schirmann a marqué, par son enseignement, des générations d’étudiants : ceux, bien sûr, de la faculté d’histoire de Metz, de l’Institut des hautes études européennes et de l’Institut d’études politiques de Strasbourg, mais aussi ceux de l’École nationale d’administration ou de l’Université du Luxembourg, ainsi que les élèves des deux campus – de Bruges et de Natolin – du Collège d’Europe. Tous ont été frappés par le charisme, la clarté et la force de conviction de Sylvain Schirmann. Tous ont été impressionnés par sa capacité à traiter de thèmes très variés, révélateurs de sa curiosité intellectuelle comme de son refus de se limiter à ses sujets de prédilection. Tous ont été sensibles à sa façon de problématiser ses cours et, dans le même mouvement, d’en décrypter les lignes de force. Tous ont été convaincus par sa lecture fine et saillante des relations internationales, par ses démonstrations, fondées sur de vastes lectures et une magistrale connaissance des sources d’archives. Tous ont eu la certitude de suivre les cours d’un grand prof ! Au moment même où Sylvain Schirmann fait valoir ses droits à la retraite, ses anciens thésards ont voulu lui rendre hommage à travers ce volume collectif investissant des thèmes qui lui sont chers. La quinzaine de contributions réunies ici s’ouvre sur l’itinéraire de cet historien passionné, rappelée par Marie-Thérèse Bitsch. Suivent des articles qui s’articulent autour de quatre grands axes : le rôle et l’action des syndicats en France et en Allemagne ; les voies multiples de la coopération et de la construction européennes ; les relations de l’Europe communautaire avec ses voisins proches ; enfin, le role des confrontations, des émotions et des mentalités collectives dans les relations internationales.

Global pandemics, devastating wars and natural disasters with increasing frequency and impact are disrupting previously carefully balanced manufacturing networks. All industrial companies are required to examine their operations and adjust accordingly. The increasing cost of resources require enterprises to re-design their value creation processes to be more sustainable, to optimize the supplier network to become more resilient and to accelerate digitizing of operations to enhance operational effectiveness. This year's WGAB research seminar is themed around Digitization of the work environment for sustainable production and seeks to contribute solutions to the current challenges. The scientific discourse aims to advance the sustainable and data-based organization of value creation processes. Exemplary efforts for the sustainable production of 3D printed footwear and the circular supply chain of energy production will be discussed. With advances in sensory data collection in cyber-physical production systems (CPPS), there are new opportunities for sensing the status of manufacturing systems, which enable advanced data analytics to contribute to a sustainable production. Intelligent processes enable sustainable value creation and bi-directional knowledge exchange between humans and machines. With people at the centre of the CPPS, production systems shall be both adaptive and personalized for every worker. People need to be involved in the technological and organizational changes. Simulating the migration from a linear economy to a circular economy supports the trend of regionalized production networks. Digital assistance systems are tested to back up resilient manufacturing. We would like to thank all authors for their efforts in preparing the contributions, which are valuable inputs to the discourse to solve the current challenges. [less ▲]

Im September 2020 ist es soweit: Der neue Medienstaatsvertrag löst den bisherigen Rundfunkstaatsvertrag ab. Er bedeutet nicht weniger als eine umfassende Neuregulierung der elektronischen Medien. Auch die Vorschriften zur Aufsicht erfahren umfangreiche Neuregelungen. Insgesamt lassen sich im Vergleich zum Rundfunkstaatsvertrag erhebliche Änderungen sowohl in der Systematik als auch in vielen Details verzeichnen. Der Medienstaatsvertrag trägt damit technischen Entwicklungen ebenso Rechnung wie der Umsetzung von neuen Vorgaben auf unionaler Ebene. Überarbeitet und geändert wurden Regelungen zum Rundfunkbegriff- und Zulassungsvorschriften sowie die Plattformregulierung. Teilweise völlig neu oder mindestens erheblich geändert sind die Abschnitte zu neuen Medienformen und -plattformarten, zu "Medienintermediären", "Benutzeroberflächen" und "Video-Sharing-Diensten". Unser Standardwerk zum bisherigen Rundfunkstaatsvertrag sowie Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag trägt diesen weitreichenden Änderungen Rechnung und wird zum Heidelberger Kommentar Medienstaatsvertrag Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag. In gewohnter Qualität und Expertise - Herausgeber und Autoren sind namhafte Experten aus der deutschen Medienlandschaft - wird die gesamte historische Entwicklung des föderal vereinbarten Rundfunk- und Telemedienrechts einschließlich des Jugendmedienschutzrechts und der europäischen Entwicklungen berücksichtigt und es wird eine vollständige Informationsquelle zu verfassungsrechtlichen, einfachgesetzlichen und praktischen Streitfragen geboten. Dabei enthält der Kommentar neben dem Text der Staatsverträge sämtliche relevanten begleitenden Texte wie die amtlichen Begründungen, die Ratifizierungsgesetze sowie Dokumente aus dem Europarecht und von Landesmedienanstalten, Rundfunkanstalten und Selbstkontrollorganisationen. Ausführungen zur Entstehungsgeschichte geben wertvolle Erkenntnisse zu Hintergründen des Medienstaatsvertrags. Übersichtsbeiträge zur relevanten Verfassungsrechtsprechung, zu den einschlägigen Rechtsgrundlagen und zu den europäischen Entwicklungen bilden die Basis für die ausführlichen Einzelkommentierungen zum Medienstaatsvertrag und Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag. Dabei sind durchgängig die europarechtlichen Vorgaben durch die EU-Richtlinie über audiovisuelle Mediendienste (AVMD) berücksichtigt. [less ▲]

This book focuses on the enforcement aspect of tobacco control policy, and argues that the intense regulation of the tobacco market will never be successful as long as it can be circumvented by the availability of illicit tobacco products. Yet, current efforts to combat illicit tobacco trade are insufficient, suffering from several flaws and gaps at the regulatory and operational levels. The aim of this book is to provide an analysis of the legal framework and practice of enforcement with regard to illicit tobacco products. Combining criminological and legal perspectives, it presents and critically analyses the phenomenon of illicit tobacco trade, as well as the policies, legal frameworks and practices in six EU countries with regard to combatting this phenomenon, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their approaches. Furthermore, it studies the relationship between the EU and third countries (e.g. Ukraine) in terms of how the EU can influence policy and enforcement in these countries in order to counter illicit tobacco trafficking. Not exclusively focusing on the EU, the book also includes an analysis of enforcement against illicit tobacco products in the US. The EU Member States analysed in the book (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands and Poland) reflect the range of currently available approaches. Some of them have ratified the WHO Protocol against tobacco smuggling; others have not. They belong to different legal traditions and face different challenges due to their respective border situations. While Belgium and the Netherlands are key entry ports to the EU, Poland and Latvia represent the Eastern land border of the EU, with various regional challenges. Italy has a long maritime border, where trafficking is possible from Northern Africa and from the Middle East. It also has significant experience in fighting organised crime. Lastly, Germany is the largest market in Europe and situated in the middle of these trafficking routes. [less ▲]

As a result of rapid advancements in computer science during recent decades, there has been an increased use of digital tools, methodologies and sources in the field of digital humanities. While opening up new opportunities for scholarship, many digital methods and tools now used for humanities research have nevertheless been developed by computer or data sciences and thus require a critical understanding of their mode of operation and functionality. The novel field of digital hermeneutics is meant to provide such a critical and reflexive frame for digital humanities research by acquiring digital literacy and skills. A new knowledge for the assessment of digital data, research infrastructures, analytical tools, and interpretative methods is needed, providing the humanities scholar with the necessary munition for doing critical research. The Doctoral Training Unit "Digital History and Hermeneutics" at the University of Luxembourg applies this analytical frame to 13 PhD projects. By combining a hermeneutic reflection on the new digital practices of humanities scholarship with hands-on experimentation with digital tools and methods, new approaches and opportunities as well as limitations and flaws can be addressed.

The latest advances in several emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, privacy-preserving algorithms used in localization and positioning systems, cloud computing and computer vision all have great potential in facilitating social distancing. Benefits range from supporting people to work from home to monitoring micro- and macro- movements such as contact tracing apps using Bluetooth, tracking the movement and transportation level of a city and wireless positioning systems to help people keep a safe distance by alerting them when they are too close to each other or to avoid congestion. However, implementing such technologies in practical scenarios still faces various challenges. This book aims to lay the foundations of how these technologies could be adopted to realize and facilitate social distancing to better manage pandemics and future outbreaks. Starting with basic concepts, models and practical technology-based social distancing scenarios, the authors present enabling wireless technologies and solutions which could be widely adopted to encourage social distancing. They include symptom prediction, detection and monitoring of quarantined people and contact tracing. In the future, smart infrastructures for next-generation wireless systems should incorporate a pandemic mode in their standard architecture and design. [less ▲]

Assemblies are ancestral, transcultural ways of coming together as a community. Over the past decades, multiple social movements have reappropriated these forms of collective organisation as a prominent component of political struggle, to defend radical visions of democracy. At the same time, governments across the globe have sought to reframe public deliberation as a response to the failures of representative democracy. How can we analyze this double movement, and could assemblies of equals once again offer possibilities to reimagine and renew the ways politics is practiced? To address these questions, we need to move beyond simply asking what assemblies can do, and instead examine how they are made. This means departing from the shores of a speculative, deliberative ideal and restoring attention to both their diversity of forms, and their capacities to perform, deform, and transform. Bringing together accounts written by those who practice assemblies, and contributions from artists, activists, historians, philosophers, and social scientists, as well as three architectural experiments that attempt to imagine models for a future assembly, the book proposes a critical inquiry into the potential of assemblies to shape political subjects. From assemblies in Indigenous territories of Brazil to those of the Yellow Vests in France, from medieval communes to street parliaments in Africa, from citizens’ assemblies set up by public authorities to practices forged from emancipatory traditions, What Makes An Assembly? examines the tensions that exist in all assemblies between the need for form and the danger of formalization; between the scripts, rituals, and architectural settings from which they derive, and their capacity to erupt and emerge anew.

Souvent appréciés, parfois décriés, les travailleurs frontaliers occupent une place importante dans le paysage économique, politique et social de Suisse. Dans certains cantons, ils constituent depuis plusieurs décennies un des facteurs de la croissance économique. Pourtant, ils sont relativement peu connus. A cheval entre deux pays, leurs modes de vie, leur statut spécifique, leur pratique de la frontière interrogent. Ils sont ainsi qualifiés d’Etrangers familiers par les différents auteurs de cet ouvrage. Leur emploi, leur quotidien et leurs pratiques sont passés au crible, à la lumière d’entretiens mais également de données statistiques, révélant au passage la diversité des situations selon les cantons, et la grande variété des profils des frontaliers. C’est finalement tout un système organisé autour du travailleur frontalier lui-même qui est au cœur de cet ouvrage, retraçant l’emploi, le parcours des frontaliers, mais également leur quotidien et les questions relatives à leur intégration.

The contributions to this book examine the two main asymmetries of the Euro Area as they have intensified during the second decade of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU): the first between monetary union (more supranational governance) versus ‘economic’ union (less centralised governance); the second between those Euro Area member states of the so-called ‘core’ and those of the ‘periphery’. EMU stands as one of the European Union’s (EU) flagship integration achievements. Set up in 1999, with the large majority of EU member states at the time, EMU was described as ‘asymmetrical’ even prior to its start. From the outset, it involved asymmetrical integration in monetary and ‘economic’ union. Although a major element of the blueprint that paved the way for the final stage of EMU, the concept of ‘economic’ union was insufficiently developed. The second decade of the single currency gave rise to a second asymmetry, namely one between those Euro Area　member states of the ‘core’ and those of the ‘periphery’. The ten contributions to this volume speak to one or both of these asymmetries, covering the major political, political economy and policy dimensions of EMU and the ongoing debates about necessary policy and institutional reforms to overcome these asymmetries and bolster Euro Area stability. The outbreak of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) Crisis in 2020 created unprecedented socio-economic challenges for Euro Area member states, heightening the perceived urgency of reform. [less ▲]

The suggestion to “align international taxation with value creation” first emerged in the context of the OECD BEPS Project aimed at tackling aggressive tax planning strategies resulting in base erosion and profit shifting. The concept of “value creation” was then further relied on in the broader discussion that followed about the impact of digitalization on the global economy generally and the fair allocation of taxes between countries in this new environment. Although the idea – or the guiding principle – that profits should be taxed where economic activities occur and where value is expected to be created initially received a relatively large support, it rapidly became clear (at least to academics) that there would be no obvious answer to the question “where is value being created?” in a manner that would be relevant for (international) tax purposes, inter alia in view of the different models of value creation within corporate entities. Based on 9 thematic reports (offering an interdisciplinary discussion of the concept of value creation mostly from an international perspective) and on 23 national reports (focusing on the meaning of value creation in domestic tax law), this book seeks to contribute to the discussion on whether the concept of value creation is viable, both theoretically and in practice, as a criterion for the allocation of taxing rights under a modernized international tax framework.
