Beatrice Brunhöber



Professor of criminal law, criminal procedural law, philosophy of law and comparative law, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main

Resident at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
2020-2022

Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:
»Das Recht der globalen Digitalität«

Project outline:
Das Forschungsprojekt behandelt die Frage, ob sich ein spezifisches Recht der globalen Digitalität herausgebildet hat, dessen besondere Eigengesetzlichkeiten bei der Gesetzgebung und Rechtsanwendung Berücksichtigung finden sollten. Es geht um die Frage, ob und inwiefern dem Missbrauch digitaler Macht durch Unternehmen wie Google ebenso wie durch den Staat rechtlich vorgebeugt werden kann und wie die emanzipativen Möglichkeiten der neuen Informationstechnologien rechtlich gestärkt werden können. (Beatrice Brunhöber)
