Abstract
The 'Festschrift' pays tribute to the work and activities of Joseph Marko as an outstanding mind, scholar and exceptional scientist through more than 50 contributions by friends and colleagues from research and practice. The authors address topics of constitutional law and political science, international law and comparative law, especially with regard to questions of human rights and the protection of minorities - all areas that the jubilarian dealt with during his academic career. Marko's work thrives on interdisciplinarity and internationality and his tireless pursuit of knowledge.
