Legisprudence in crisis in consideration of EU law and US law

危机中的立法学具有双重意义：首先，德国立法学本身也陷入了危机。在1970年代和1980年代进行了一次重要的讨论之后，对立法的研究明显减少。第二，该项目力求审查立法科学，使之适应当前的挑战，以危机局势中的立法为出发点。反恐怖主义立法以及处理金融危机和核能的立法将成为具有国际意义的实际例子，研究项目的一部分将集中在立法过程及其两个方面：Grundgesetz（德国基本法）所述的立法过程和决策和起草过程的不成文方面。该项目的另一部分将致力于制定条款，包括临时立法的各个方面和立法机构调整议会法案的责任。在本项目前两部分的基础上，第三部分将阐述议会法案的概念和职能及其在整个法律的法案体系中的作用以及权力分立的后果。由于欧洲联盟法律对德国立法的重要性，该项目的每一部分将特别关注超国家的影响，另一方面，在欧洲联盟一级处理所审查的问题。此外，还应通过与美国法律的比较得出进一步的结论。危机局势是立法发展的一面镜子。其特点是紧迫性、对具体事件的反应、立法目标日益复杂以及由此产生的不可靠的事实基础。这些特点是一般立法发展的共同特点。因此，在危机情况下对这些问题进行审查，确实可以得出一般性的立法结论，这将有助于更好地制定能够应对当前挑战的立法。

Legisprudence in crisis bears a twofold meaning: Firstly, the German science of legislation is caught in a crisis itself. After a vital discussion during the 1970s and 1980s, research on legislation has decreased decisively. Secondly, the project seeks to review the science of legislation and to adapt it to current challenges, taking legislation in crisis situations as starting point. The anti terrorism legislation as well as legislation dealing with the financial crisis and nuclear energy shall serve as practical examples of international significance.One part of the research project will focus on the legislative process and its two dimensions: the legislative process as described in the Grundgesetz (German Basic Law) and the unwritten aspects of the decision-making and drafting process. Another part of the project will be dedicated to the creation of provisions, including aspects of temporary legislation and the duty of the legislature to adjust Acts of Parliament. Building on the two preceding parts of the project, a third part will draw the consequences for the concept and function of Acts of Parliament and their role within the whole system of legal acts, as well as for the separation of powers. Due to the significance of European Union law for German legislation, each part of the project will pay particular attention to supranational influences on the one hand, and the handling of the examined issues at the European Union level itself on the other hand. Additionally, further findings shall be drawn from a comparison with the US law.Crisis situations constitute a mirror for legislative developments in general. They can be characterized by their urgency, the reaction to concrete events, the increasing complexity of the legislative object and the resulting insecure factual basis. These characteristics are common for the development of legislation in general. Their examination in the context of crisis situations does therefore allow conclusions for legisprudence in general that will contribute to better legislation capable of coping with current challenges.
