40 Jahre "Deutscher Herbst"

Alleviating the tension between security and freedom is a fundamental challenge for a free and democratic constitutional state. How difficult it is to strike a balance between these concepts became particularly clear during the period of terrorism instigated by the German militant group ‘The Red Army Fraction’ in the 1970s. Forty years later the question of the right way of achieving such a balance is no less relevant. However, in view of our increasingly technological and globalised society, the legal questions which have emerged from this conflict require new responses. The documentation from the ‘JuWissDay 2017’ conference confronts this task. It collates articles regarding the need for reform of Europe’s security architecture, the obligation of the German Federal Intelligence Service to respect fundamental rights, the obligation of transparency in risk prevention law, the function of migration law in counterterrorism as well as reflections on the concept of an ‘anticipated state of emergency’ in legislation. This volume is the first in the series of publications entitled ‘Schriften der Jungen Wissenschaft im Öffentlichen Recht‘.
