European society and its antagonists
This article answers the four questions posed in this issue by showing how antagonists of the European Union shape it. The article does so through the concept of ‘European society’, read via Simmel’s conflict theory, proposing it as a legally grounded and sociologically plausible term that synthesizes 70 years of European integration. Antagonists have not disintegrated European society, but have rather propelled it, despite their likely intention…
The Republican Thrust of 70 Years of EU Law
Päivi Leino-Sandberg’s opening contribution to this special issue identifies deficits in the Commission’s book 70 Years of EU Law. This concluding contribution explores its promise, as expressed in its subtitle ‘A Union for Its Citizens’. ‘A Union for Its Citizens’ is underpinned by a republican thrust, which this contribution substantiates in four steps. The first develops a tailored concept of republicanism, with the second step presenting evid…
How a Paradoxical Protection of Democracy Can Fade Away
This paper revisits the German Constitutional Court’s Lisbon judgment (2009) and its restrictive stance towards European integration. It argues that the judgment’s reasoning was problematic from the outset and has become increasingly untenable in view of current geopolitical and domestic challenges. In light of subsequent political and legal developments, the judgment’s authority has significantly eroded. In practice, German policy and the Court …
Europäische Gesellschaft als Rechtsbegriff
Laut Lissabonner Vertrag hat die europäische Integration eine europäische Gesellschaft hervorgebracht. Dieser Kollektivsingular adressiert die Ungewissheit über die europäische Lage und eröffnet neue Verständnisse des Unionsrechts. Er bringt auf den Begriff, dass die geopolitischen Konflikte die Europäerinnen und Europäer als Kollektiv betreffen und sie ihre internen Konflikte nicht zwischenstaatlich, sondern eben in einer Gesellschaft lösen müss…
Renaissance des Republikanismus
Lassen sich im globalen und/oder europäischen Rahmen Anzeichen für eine Wiederbelebung bzw. Neuausrichtung republikanischen Gedankenguts ausmachen? Und falls ja, in welchem Sinne und Maße? Und welcher Stellenwert wäre einer allfälligen Renaissance des Republikanismus im juridischen Denken und Vermessen zuzuweisen? Im Rahmen des »Grundlagen«-Gesprächs anlässlich der Bochumer Staatsrechtslehrertagung im Oktober 2023 haben dazu - im Hauptreferat - A…
Grundlagenteil und Verfassungskern der EU-Verträge
Bestimmungen des EUV mit prägnant verfassungsrechtlichem Gehalt haben in der Rechtsprechung des EuGH an Gewicht gewonnen. Der Beitrag konzipiert dieses Gewicht als materiellen Vorrang, dem interpretationsleitende Funktion für das Unionsprimärrecht zukommt, und zeigt, dass der neue Konstitutionalismus des EuGH von der Intention der Vertragsautoren getragen ist. Der Lissabonner Vertrag hat das zuvor heterogene Unionsprimärrecht verfassungsrechtlich…
The Impact of the Inter-American Human Rights System
The Inter-American Human Rights System (IAHRS) fosters structural transformations throughout the Americas. This collection of analyses builds upon the studies on Ius Constitutionale Commune en América Latina and Latin American transformative constitutionalism to map out both the ground-level human rights impact of the IAHRS and the institutional characteristics that have enabled such fundamental changes in social reality. The volume starts with e…
Heinrich Triepel – Parteienstaat und Staatsgerichtshof
Heinrich Triepel (1868-1946), full professor in Berlin and founder of the German constitutional law teachers' association, republican by reason and Wilhelmine-influenced monarchist of his heart, commented on the constitutional history of the Weimar years beginning in 1918 and coming to an end in 1933. He focused on fundamental developments that are still being discussed today: basic questions of constitutional policy, problems of the federal stat…
Im Namen des Europäischen Clubs rechtsstaatlicher Demokratien
Der EGMR steht unter Beobachtung. Laut der Kopenhagener Erklärung unterziehen die Konventionsstaaten seine Rechtsprechung einer Evaluation, um über weitere Reformschritte zu entscheiden. Wie soll eine solche Bewertung aussehen? Sie kann zum einen mit Blick auf die Quelle der demokratischen Legitimation des EGMR, zum anderem mit Blick auf die sich ihm stellenden Herausforderung stattfinden. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht von der These aus, dass der …

The Max Planck Handbooks in European Public Law
This book continues the thick comparative approach that lies at the heart of the Max Planck Handbook series. It addresses one of the most significant phenomena of modern-day public law: constitutional adjudication. This book introduces, through individual country reports, the institutions and practices that make constitutional adjudication come to life across the Continent. Thus, each country report will explain the history, design, composition, …

Comunidad de práctica en derechos humanos y constitucionalismo transformador en América Latina
En los últimos años, se ha venido desarrollando en América Latina una especie de derecho común de los derechos humanos, lo que entendemos como ius constitutionale commune. En el centro del surgimiento de este régimen se encuentran la Comisión Interamericana (CIDH) y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Corte IDH). En este capítulo exploramos cómo y por qué funciona el constitucionalismo transformador en América Latina, que es promovido po…

International Transformative Constitutionalism in Latin America
This Article analyzes the rise of international transformative constitutionalism in Latin America and responds to some of the challenges to its legitimacy and effectiveness. It focuses on the practice of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR), the decisions and procedures of which constitute a small, but vibrant and essential, part of a wider Latin American community of human rights—a diverse group of actors who confront violence, soci…

Was ist Europarecht?
Der Beitrag schreibt den Begriff des Europarechts fort. Er propagiert einen weiten Begriff: EU-Recht, als organisierende Mitte, ergänzendes Völkerrecht, die EMRK sowie darauf bezogenes staatliches Recht. So identifiziert er das Gefüge verbundener Rechtsordnungen und gibt Rekonstruktionen einen besseren disziplinären Rahmen. Weiter entkoppelt er den Begriff »Europarecht« von der »immer engeren Union« und substantiiert ihn mittels des »europäischen…
From Public International to International Public Law
This article argues that increasing demands in world public opinion for legitimate and effective international institutions require a paradigm shift in public international law. There is a part of public international law that should be better understood as international public law because it enables and disciplines the pursuit of public interests by international institutions. We consider such activities as exercises of international public auth…

Ius Constitutionale Commune en América Latina
A new approachIus Constitutionale Commune en América Latina (ICCAL) constitutes a new approach to constitutionalism in the region. It has transformative aims and draws its energy from the perception of unacceptable conditions of a systematic nature. Like many legal concepts it refers both to positive law as a well as to the legal discourse connected to it. In terms of positive law, it is above all based upon the American Convention on Human Right…
Zur demokratischen Legitimation von Europas Richtern Eine vergleichende Rekonstruktion der Richterauswahl zu EGMR und EuGH
EGMR und EuGH üben auf wirkmächtige Weise öffentliche Gewalt aus. Dies bedingt die Frage ihrer demokratischen Rechtfertigung. Der vorliegende Beitrag rekonstruiert vor diesem Hintergrund die Verfahren zur Auswahl der EGMR- und EuGH-Richter anhand der demokratischen Prinzipien im Recht des Europarats und der EU. Drei Thesen leiten die Darstellung: Erstens, dass bei der Auswahl der EuGH-Richter die Rechtswirklichkeit hinter den normativen Vorgaben …
On the Functions of International Courts
This contribution presents international judicial institutions as multifunctional actors against the background of a traditional understanding, which sees just one function: settling disputes. The traditional, one-dimensional understanding eclipses other important functions that many international courts do actually perform in contexts of global governance and it underrates problems in their legitimation. In order to appreciate international adju…
The European Lesson for International Democracy
This article argues that Articles 9 to 12 of the EU Treaty provide a promising way to conceptualize and develop the democratic legitimation of international organizations. To be sure, the current European Union is not a democratic showcase. However, an innovative concept of democracy, neither utopian nor apologetic, has found its way into its founding treaty. It can point the way in conceiving and developing the democratic credentials not just of…

In Whose Name? An Investigation of International Courts' Public Authority and Its Democratic Justification
Court judgments are epitomes of sovereign rule in many grand theoretical sketches. How may such judicial power be justified nowadays? Many domestic courts decide in the name of the people and thus invoke the authority of the democratic sovereign literally at the very beginning of their decisions. International courts, to the contrary, do not say in whose name they speak the law. This void sparks our driving question: how does the power of interna…

Globalization and Europe
Fundamental controversy reigns in Europe over how to understand globalization. This is particularly true with respect to globalization's impact on democracy. The spectrum of relevant diagnoses ranges from those which identify an extreme danger to democracy to others which find that democracy is undergoing a substantive strengthening. The spectrum of proposals is similarly divergent. Some recommend the acceptance of a loss of democracy, some call …
The European Union as Situation, Executive, and Promoter of the International Law of Cultural Diversity – Elements of a Beautiful Friendship
Cultural diversity is an important political and legal topos in the European Union. At the same time, the concern for cultural diversity gives reason for grave reservations towards the Union. This article intends to assist, on the basis of international law, in distinguishing appearance and reality. The Union will be analysed first as a situation of the application of the international law of cultural diversity, secondly as the regional executive…

Gubernative Rechtsetzung
Armin von Bogdandy formuliert eine Konzeption der Rechtsetzung, die die Rechtsregime der deutschen Rechtssatzformen im Vergleich mit der Rechtslage in vier anderen europäischen Staaten unter Einbeziehung politikwissenschaftlicher und philosophischer Erkenntnisse neu entfaltet. Er zeigt, daß das Rechtsregime der Rechtsetzung treffender formuliert werden kann, wenn drei Eckpunkte der herkömmlichen Dogmatik aufgegeben und durch drei neue ersetzt wer…
