Wie verhält sich das Strafrecht zu Normen und Verhaltensregeln in sozialen Netzwerken? Welche Rechtsqualität und welche Bedeutung besitzt der >Deutsche Corporate Governance Kodexjenseits des Staates<.How does criminal law relate to norms and rules of conduct in social networks? What is the legal quality and significance of the 'German Corporate Governance Code'? Is collective bargaining and company autonomy only complementary to state regulation or are collective bodies even able to deselect statutory labour law? Can the state intervene in the regulatory regimes of sports associations? In a globalised, accelerated and increasingly technology-based world, the law of the nation state increasingly competes with other normative orders. In this context, extra-state and state normative regimes interact in complex ways, but sometimes also get into conflict. The contributions examine current systems of self-regulation in various spheres of life, offer innovative impulses for discussion and open up new perspectives on a law 'beyond the state'.
