Synopsis
Fifty years after the Treaties of Rome were signed and especially in view of the failed constitutional referendum in France and the Netherlands on 29 May and 1 June 2005 respectively, in which the citizens of two founding countries of the ambitious Treaty rejected a unified European constitution, the question arises: what is the point of European unification? This fundamental European constitutional law question is also of great importance for the further development of European private law. Against this backdrop, this work examines the concretization competence and concretization methods in European private law.
Synopsis
Writings pertaining to European and international private, banking and commercial law]
Europeanization and internationalization challenge the realm of jurisprudence to an extraordinary degree. The division in special fields and the relationship with other social sciences necessitate critical reevaluation in view of many interactions. Cross-references between commercial law regulation and private, autonomous arrangement distinctly show this development. Jurisprudence emerging beyond Germany has to deal with such challenges. The law of financial services serves as an example of the cross-section material from private law and (public) commercial law. This takes into account the series at hand in terms of content and method. In addition to banking, capital market and financial law as the main emphasis, corporate law, competition & cartel law, intangible property rights, insolvency law and also labor law show similar overlaps. The intensive internationally-oriented treatment of the overlaps of classical private law - in particular contractual law - and commercial law promise a bountiful yield, especially on the European level under the summarizing aspect of corporate law.
The outstanding monography also finds its place in the series, as well as the conference volume, works in German and also occasional works in English. There are economically-aligned works in addition to juridical works constituting the main emphasis. Works pertaining to Europeanization and internationalization are compiled in the series, which convey commercial law and commercially-conceived private law in an outstanding manner.
Synopsis
Mit der zunehmenden Ausweitung und Verdichtung des europ ischen Rechtsmaterials im Bereich des Privatrechts mehren sich Vorschriften, die im Interesse der Zukunftsoffenheit und Anpassungsf higkeit relativ vage und wertungsoffen sind. Insoweit stellt sich vor dem Hintergrund der gemeinschaftsrechtlichen Kompetenzordnung die Frage, ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen eine solche Regelungstechnik das Angleichungsziel berhaupt erreichen kann und welcher Ebene innerhalb des Mehrebenensystems der Gemeinschaft die Aufgabe der Konkretisierung zukommen soll. Noch dringender und von viel grunds tzlicherer Bedeutung ist freilich die Bestimmung derjenigen Methoden und Kriterien, die die Konkretisierungsentscheidungen zum Europ ischen Privatrechts im Einzelfall rational begr ndbar, diskutierbar und vorallem konsensf hig machen k nnen. Dabei kann es nicht um eine beschreibende Darstellung des hergebrachten, rein formalen, Methodenkanons gehen. Anzusetzen ist vielmehr bei den der europ ischen Wirtschaftsverfassung und dem Sekund rrecht zugrundeliegenden Prinzipien und Werten.
