Der in Berlin lebende Autor Ingo Niermann setzt sich mit dem Thema »Drill« auseinander. In diesem Notebook proklamiert er den selbstbestimmten Drill als eine neue gesellschaftliche Doktrin und gibt praktische Anleitungen. Drill könnte nach einer Ära von geöffneten und übertretenen Grenzen der nächste Schritt sein: die Freiheit, sich selbst zu zwingen. Zu diesem Zweck kann der Leser an vom Autor vorgeschlagenen Aktionen teilnehmen, etwa »Join the U.S. Army«, bei der man sich als Nicht-Amerikaner der US-Armee andient, oder auch sich dafür entscheiden, ein Jahr zu leben, als sei es das letzte. Die Krönung ist der Drill Palace, nach Vorbild von Cedric Price' unrealisiertem Fun Palace, in dem man an Drills teilnehmen, Drills entwickeln oder ihnen als Zuschauer beiwohnen kann. Ingo Niermann (*1969) lebt als Autor in Berlin. Chus Martínez (*1972) ist Mitglied der Agenten-Kerngruppe und Leiterin der Abteilung der dOCUMENTA (13). Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch

Corporate governance encompasses the free enterprise system, which is treated comprehensively in this book from a German perspective. This distinguishes the book from other books written in English in this subject area, not only because of the comprehensive way it covers German corporate law and corporate governance, but also because of the fact that it provides international and European perspectives on these important topics. This second edition is an extensively revised and updated version of the first edition, in particular with a view to the worldwide debt crisis. The authors provide readers with an overview of the unique features of German business and enterprise law and an in-depth analysis of the organs of governance of German public limited companies (general meeting, management board, supervisory board). In addition, approaches for reforms required at the international level are also suggested and discussed, including, among others, the unique interplay and dynamics of the German two-tier board model with the system of codetermination, referring to the arrangement of employees sitting on the supervisory boards of German public limited companies and private companies employing more than 500 employees; also covered are significant recent legal developments in Europe. The book highlights the core function of valuation and financial reporting at the international, European and German levels, with accounting as the documentary proof of good corporate governance. It also expands the scope of the first edition by a treatment of the German financial sector, global corporate finance and governance, and by including a new chapter on compliance of corporate governance laws, rules and standards in Germany. As far as comparative law is concerned, new developments in the area of corporate governance in the EU, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and corporate governance in the US, the UK and Australia are covered. The book is addressed to researchers, practitioners and basically anyone with an interest in the complex, but intriguing areas of corporate law and corporate governance.
Skarbek is a figure in Polish miners' folklore, a mythic gnome who both protects and threatens the men who invade his underground domain of abandoned coal mines. German artist Antje Majewski and author Ingo Niermann have taken the tale as the starting point for a gestural dance-theater project to premiere in Poland and Germany in 2005. The backdrop of the piece is a stylized, hallucinatory underworld where shifting perspectives create an unstable environment, until, finally, the whole stage shrinks into a marionette theater and puppets replace human dancers. The format is unique, so old-fashioned it's cutting edge: a 33-rpm LP of electronic music (composed by Katrin Vellrath), accompanied by text by Niermann, illustrations by Majewski.

Die strenge und stetig zunehmende Regulierung des Kapitalmarkts stellt Compliance-Verantwortliche in kapitalmarktorientierten Unternehmen immer wieder vor große Herausforderungen. Das Handbuch bereitet das Kapitalmarktrecht verständlich und praxisfreundlich auf und bietet eine Hilfe beim Aufbau bzw. der Effektivierung eines Compliance-Systems im Unternehmen. Der Aufbau folgt dem Adressatenkreis: Emittenten, Banken und Finanzdienstleister. So erhält der Praktiker Zugang zu den für ihn maßgeblichen Themenkreisen. Die Autoren zeigen die enge Verzahnung des materiellen Kapitalmarktrechts mit dem Strafrecht. Fast alle Ge- oder Verbote in den Kapitalmarktgesetzen werden mit einer Geldbuße oder gar Geld- und Freiheitsstrafe geahndet. Die straf- und bußgeldrechtlichen Aspekte des Kapitalmarktrechts werden daher in einem eigenen Teil ausführlich und abschließend erläutert. Das Handbuch verbindet so die kapitalmarktrechtliche Compliance mit der Criminal Compliance.
