  • Die Stiftung privaten Rechts als öffentlich-rechtliches Organisationsmodellby Claudia Kaluza

    BWV Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag 2010; US$ 32.17

    Hauptbeschreibung Stiftungsgründungen durch juristische Personen öffentlichen Rechts sind verstärkt zu beobachten. Diese Entwicklung deutet darauf hin, dass das Stiftungswesen einen rechtlichen Wandel durchlebt.

In der Arbeit... more...

Ursächlich dafür sind neue technologische Entwicklungen, wie XMLWeb Services. Es wurde in dieser Arbeit die Möglichkeit... more...
