Handbook of Constitutional Law

这个研究项目的目标是一个新的宪法手册12卷，尽管它的历史启发的标题，这不是一本手册，但中心和基本的科学努力的德国宪法学者，和整个学科的合作努力。新概念化的《手册》不仅在德国宪法学术领域发挥关键作用，而且在与其他法律学科、社会科学和人文科学的其他领域- -如政治学、历史学、哲学、社会学- -以及与欧洲和国际学术界的联系方面发挥关键作用。它构成了支离破碎的德国宪法学共同体的共同参照点和中心整合因素，准确反映了德国宪法学共同体内部的诸多倾向，旨在进一步发展宪法。全书的重点是德国宪法的国际化和欧洲化；它清楚地考虑到与世界上的外国宪法秩序以及与欧洲法律的各种相互作用，以及所有跨学科的联系。该手册的重点是应对新的规范和社会挑战，承担法律和国家责任。它在伴随和引导变革的同时，重新平衡了更新与保护之间的关系。它在基本层面上提供创新和面向未来的解决方案，超越了日常法律工作的小规模努力，因此针对德国以及国外的学术和实践。该手册的概念是在学术层面以及在法律和政治应用方面成为一种推动力和灵感来源。

This research project aims at a new Handbook of Constitutional Law in 12 volumes, which – in spite of its historically inspired title – is not a handbook but the central and fundamental scientific endeavor of German constitutional scholarship, and the collaborative effort of the entire discipline. The newly conceptualized Handbook fulfills key functions not only within German constitutional law scholarship, but also in contact with other legal disciplines, with other fields of social sciences and humanities – such as political science, history, philosophy, sociology –, and in contact with the European and international academic community. It constitutes the common point of reference and central integrating factor for the multi-fragmented German constitutional law community, it accurately reflects the many tendencies within that community and it aims at further developing constitutional law. Throughout, the Handbook is focused on internationalization and Europeanization of German constitutional law; it takes clear account of the varied interactions with foreign constitutional orders in the world as well as with European law, and of all interdisciplinary links. The Handbook is focused on meeting the new normative and societal challenges, taking responsibility for law and State. It rebalances the relation between renewal and preservation while accompanying and guiding change. It offers innovative and future-oriented solutions on a fundamental level, beyond the small-scale endeavors of everyday legal work, and is thus aimed towards scholarship and practice in Germany as well as abroad. The Handbook is conceptualized to be a driving force and a source of inspiration on the scholarly level as well as in the application of law and in politics.
