Research topic:
“Autonomy-oriented justification of norms as confidence-building conflict resolution in global digitalization”

Project description:
Current crises of confidence in the democratic constitutional state are particularly reflected in the question of how the digital upheavals should be legally contained. Previous developments in data protection, competition law and freedom of expression suggest that cross-border requirements for a borderless Internet with a territorially limited binding nature of democratic legislation can essentially be achieved through an informalization of state power.

The aim of the project is to work out these changes in conflict management and the associated legal trust. To this end, I will discuss legal lines of argumentation that continue to enable collective and individual autonomy-oriented conflict management under the changing conditions of digitalization. (Bernhard Jakl)

Events:
The lecture on the project “Autonomy-oriented justification of norms as trust-building conflict resolution in global digitalization” took place on 9 June 2022 at 11 a.m. in the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften.
