This volume completes the results of a joint research project funded by
the Nagoya Institute of Advanced Research (IAR) and the Freiburg
Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS). With the social governance by
law and the interplay between substantive legal standards and procedural
enforcement the symposium addressed a topic of both outstanding academic
and practical importance. In the pursuit of certain political or social
goals a legal system is basically faced with two options: the exertion
of influence on the behaviour of its citizens by means of preventive or
reactive instruments. The relationship of preventive and reactive
regulatory instruments is a key element for the analysis and
understanding of a legal system. With contributions by: Alexander Bruns,
