Research topic at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften:

»Autonomy-oriented foundation of norms as trust-building conflict management in the age of global digitalisation«

Project outline:

Current crises of trust in the democratic rule of law become visible by observing how law can handle the digital changes. Legal developments in the fields of data protection, competition law and freedom of speech suggest that the legal order for a internet without boarders can be achieved essentially by informalizing political power, thus threatening formalized self-rule by democratic legislation that is territorially bound.
In my research project, I focus on these changes of conflict handling and (un)trustworthy legal reactions. I will discuss normative chains of legal reasoning that still can ensure a conflict handling based on individual and collective autonomy. (Bernhard Jakl)
