‘Menschenwürde und Menschenrechte’ (Human Dignity and Human Rights) is a series of books published by the Euregio-Plattform für Menschenwürde und Menschenrechte (EUPHUR), a joint initiative founded by the Universities of Innsbruck, Bozen-Bolzano and Trento, and the Academy of Merano. The goal of EUPHUR is to examine and reflect on both basic questions of human dignity and key issues in current debates on human rights from an academic perspective in order to initiate and foster societal discourse on these subjects. The broad and diverse range of issues in this regard demands interdisciplinary cooperation between different fields, in particular law, philosophy, economics and the social sciences. Accordingly, this series of books offers a forum for works which address this subject in various forms, and which cannot only be used by established senior and junior researchers, but also publishes factually well-founded contributions from the fields of politics and journalism, to name just two. The editors welcome submissions to the series in the form of monographs, anthologies, conference proceedings and academic theses, whose publication is subject to approval by the editorial board. The works published in the series may be written in German, English or Italian.

Textbook series for students of religious and cultural studies as well as for student teachers The volumes in this series introduce the central topics, theories and methods of religious studies in both an academically sound manner and in understandable language, and they convey the subject’s basic study contents. The books’ consistent problem orientation and the didactic preparation of their individual chapters facilitate access to the subject’s specific contents. This series is ideally suited to exam preparation, for example through summaries, questions which test knowledge, discussion and comprehension questions, and diagrams and thematic cross-references.

The „Contributions to Comparative and International Public Law“ discuss topics of contemporary public international law, European Union law and comparative public law. They aim to contribute to a better understanding of the basic structures and current evolutions in international, supranational and domestic public law at a time of their growing interdependence and interaction. Future volumes in the series will deal with the extraterritorial application of the UN Covenant on Social and Economic Rights, the obligations of States and International Financial Institutions to protect social and economic rights in the Sovereign Debt Crisis and the comparative law of independent regulatory agencies.

This series provides an international platform for the study of the entire range of topics relating to sexual health: sexual and gender diversity, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive health, sexual rights and sexualized violence. Incorporating both an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach, and focusing on the field in which public health, health promotion and prevention, social work, sociology and law overlap, the series publishes empirical and theoretical studies which foster a better understanding of (sexual) health and the social participation of people with different gender identities, sexualities and sexual behaviour.
