Die Auslegung des § 3 ProdHaftG gehört nach wie vor zu den umstrittensten Fragen des Produkthaftungsrechts. Dies zeigt sich besonders bei der Schadensverursachung durch Produkte, deren Sicherheitsrisiken der Hersteller in Kauf genommen hat, um andere - wünschenswerte - Produkteigenschaften zu ermöglichen. Nachdem keine »absolute« Produktsicherheit gefordert ist, setzt eine deliktische Haftung des Herstellers für eine fehlerhafte Konstruktionsentscheidung voraus, daß die Rechtsordnung einen Standard formuliert, nach dem im Einzelfall das erlaubte von dem verbotenen Risiko durch richterliche Wertung geschieden werden kann. In den Vereinigten Staaten, dem »Mutterland des Produkthaftungsrechts«, das auch für die Ausgestaltung des § 3 ProdHaftG sowie für die im Rahmen von § 823 Abs. 1 BGB entwickelten Standards maßgebliche Impulse gesetzt hat, wurden zur Bestimmung der Fehlerhaftigkeit von Konstruktionen zwei Modelle entwickelt, nämlich zum einen der consumer expectation Test, der durch die Vertreter der ökonomischen Theorie des Rechts eine wesentliche Fortschreibung für das deutsche Recht erfahren hat, und zum anderen die Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse, die Eingang in das Restatement (Third) of Torts gefunden hat. Die Verfasserin untersucht anhand eines Rechtsvergleichs, inwieweit die Erkenntnisse der amerikanischen Diskussion für das deutsche Recht nutzbar gemacht werden können. Nachdem die genannten Modelle auch zur Auslegung des § 3 ProdHaftG herangezogen werden können, wird anhand des Instrumentariums der ökonomischen Theorie des Rechts geprüft, welcher Ansatz zur Bewertung bewußter Konstruktionsentscheidungen herangezogen werden sollte. Im Ergebnis spricht sich Katharina Kollmann für verstärkte Aufklärung des Verbrauchers auf Basis des informationellen Fehlerbegriffs aus.

Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797–1848) gilt heute als bedeutendste deutschsprachige Autorin des 19. Jahrhunderts. Teile ihres Werks, wie die Judenbuche, der lyrische Zyklus der Haidebilder und einzelne exponierte Gedichte, waren und sind kontinuierlich Gegenstand der wissenschaftlichen Forschung und der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung. Daneben existieren größere Werkkomplexe, denen bisher nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit zuteil geworden ist. Das Droste-Handbuch hat sich die Neu-Entdeckung des komplexen Oeuvres zur Aufgabe gemacht. Es erschließt das literarische, das musikalische und das Briefwerk von Annette von Droste-Hülshoff durch zahlreiche Einzeltextanalysen und Überblicksartikel in bislang nicht vorhandener Vollständigkeit. Dabei liegt der Fokus darauf, die ästhetische Prägnanz und Modernität der Texte herauszuarbeiten, vor dem Hintergrund der Forschung zu diskutieren und neue Bezugsfelder der Interpretation zu den Marktverhältnissen, den ästhetischen Debatten zwischen Romantik und Vormärz und den zeitgenössischen Wissenschaften aufzutun. Erstmals wird ein umfassendes Kompendium für die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Gesamtwerk Drostes vorgelegt.
