Die kulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven auf das Recht sind vielfältig. Der Band geht vor allem den normativen Verwendungsweisen des ‚Kultur‘-Begriffs in der Rechtswissenschaft nach – von der neukantianischen Kulturphilosophie bis zum Poststrukturalismus, bei kommunitaristischen und multikulturalistischen Autoren, in der ‚kulturwissenschaftlichen Verfassungslehre‘ sowie in jenen Ansätzen, denen zufolge das Grundgesetz von einer ‚christlichen Kultur‘ überformt wird. Seine Antwort auf die Frage, was der Begriff der Kultur zur Eigenreflexion des Rechts beitragen kann, lautet: Nichts, außer Verwirrung. Die These von der Kultur als einer Geltungsquelle von Recht ist falsch. Es führt kein Weg von der Kultur zum Rechtssystem oder von kulturellen Werten zum Gehalt juridischer Normen. Der Kulturbegriff kann deshalb am Ende wenig anderes leisten, als die Anforderungen zu unterlaufen, denen rechtliches Begründen genügen muss. Der Autor lehrt Rechtsphilosophie an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster und forscht im dortigen Exzellenzcluster „Religion und Politik“.

Cultural Heritage in the European Union provides a critical analysis of the laws and policies which address cultural heritage throughout Europe, considering them in light of the current challenges faced by the Union. The volume examines the matrix of organisational and regulatory frameworks concerned with cultural heritage both in the Union and its Members States, as well as their interaction, cross-fertilisation, and possible overlaps. It brings together experts in their respective fields, including not only legal, but also cultural economists, heritage professionals, government representatives, and historians. The diverse backgrounds of the authors offer a cross-disciplinary approach and a variety of views which allows an in-depth scrutinisation of the latest developments pertaining to cultural heritage in Europe.

"Cultural Expertise, Law and Rights introduces readers to the theory and practice of cultural expertise in the resolution of conflicts and the claim of rights in diverse societies. Combining theory and case-studies of the use of cultural expertise in real situations, and in a great variety of fields, this is the first book to offer a comprehensive examination of the field of cultural expertise: its intellectual orientations, practical applications, and ethical implications. This book engages an extensive and interdisciplinary variety of topics - ranging from race, language, sexuality, Indigenous rights, and women's rights to immigration and asylum laws, international commercial arbitration, and criminal law. It also offers a truly global perspective covering cultural expertise in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and North America. Finally, the book offers theoretical and practical guidance for the ethical use of cultural expert knowledge. This is an essential volume for teachers and students in the social sciences - especially law, anthropology, and sociology - and members of the legal professions who engage in cross-cultural dispute resolution, asylum and migration, private international law, and other fields of law in which cultural arguments play a role"--
