»Schiedsrichterliche Führung«.

This study examines a hitherto little researched variety of anti-egalitarian, anti-Western and authoritarian state theory. Heinrich W. Herrfahrdt's »Arbitrational Leadership« was intended to transform the liberal constitutional state into an authoritarian corporative state by means of minor interventions in the state's institutional structure. However, it not only provides alarmingly topical illustrative and reflective material for contemporary constitutional law doctrine because of its detailed state restructuring instructions, but also because the polyglot Herrfahrdt already made extensive international comparisons and placed a special focus on Japan and China.
