Handbook of Constitutional LawGerman Constitutional Law from a Transnational Perspective

该研究项目旨在全面介绍德国宪法，重点是基本法及其从跨国角度的发展。该手册应提供德语和英语版本（约1500页）。而不是总结德国宪法学说，这本书将自我反思分析和观察德国宪法从一个特定的跨国视角，从而将其纳入国际宪法话语。因此，德国宪法和学说的主体将使用比较法和宪法理论的功能方法进行分析。该手册面向德国和外国读者，将促进不同宪法秩序之间的跨国宪法对话。德国读者将受益于一个遥远的和反思的观察者的角度对宪法，这是迄今为止罕见的德国法律的学说。该手册将德国宪法在其跨国，比较和理论背景下，并面对它与其他法律的模式和宪政的西方自由主义传统的监管方法。外国读者将从一个新的角度获得有关德国宪法的信息，因为本手册将在比较、社会、历史、政治和理论背景下描述宪法学说。这将有助于更深入地了解《宪法》及其法律政治机构在德国的运作方式。

The research project aims at a comprehensive presentation of of German constitutional law, which focuses on the Basic Law and its development from a transnational perspective. The handbook shall brought out in a German and an English edition (size about 1500 pages). Rather than summarizing German constitutional doctrine, the book shall self-reflectively analyse and observe German constitutional law from a specifically transnational perspective and, thus integrate it in an international constitutional discourse. Accordingly, the body of German constitutional law and doctrine will be analysed using functional methods of comparative law and constitutional theory. The handbook addresses German and foreign readers alike and will stimulate a transnational constitutional dialogue between different constitutional orders. German readers will benefit from a distanced and reflective observer's perspective on constitutional law, which is hitherto uncommon under German legal doctrine. The handbook will place German constitutional law in its transnational, comparative, and theoretical contexts and confront it with to other legal models and regulatory approaches within the western-liberal traditions of constitutionalism. The foreign reader will obtain information on German constitutional law from a novel perspective, as the handbook will describe constitutional doctrine in comparative, social, historical, political, and theoretical context. This should promote a deeper understanding of how the Constitution and its legal-political institutions operate work in Germany.
