Die Verfasserin zeigt für den praktisch wichtigsten Anwendungsfall, die kartellrechtswidrigen Gemeinschaftsunternehmen, auf, dass die Nichtanwendung der Lehre nicht überzeugt. Hierzu vergleicht sie insbesondere die Konsequenzen für den Wettbewerb bei Annahme von Nichtigkeit und fehlerhafter Gesellschaft. Zudem legt die Verfasserin dar, dass die Nichtigkeitsfolge auch nicht zur Prävention vor Kartellrechtsverstößen geboten ist.

Gentrifizierung ist ein global verbreiteter und kontrovers diskutierter urbaner Prozess, der auch seinen Niederschlag in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur gefunden hat. Diese Studie untersucht die literarische Verarbeitung der Gentrifizierung in Berlin nach 2000 anhand von ausgewählten Romanen von Aljoscha Brell, Ulrich Peltzer, Jan Peter Bremer und Annett Gröschner. Mithilfe eines interdisziplinären theoretischen Rahmens, der narratologische Aspekte mit soziologischen kombiniert, arbeitet die Untersuchung heraus, wie der Wettbewerb um den urbanen Raum aus der Figurenperspektive imaginiert und verhandelt wird. Die Analyse zeigt, wie Machtverhältnisse zwischen sozialen Gruppen sich in den zum Teil standardisierten Figurenkonstellationen der untersuchten ¿Gentrifiktionen¿ manifestieren.
