The International Dimensions of Law

The internationalisation und Europeanisation of national law has proceeded apace in recent decades. This development is, however, only rarely mirrored in the curricula of today’s law faculties. This textbook aims to break this mould, seeking to help students to understand that legal systems do not only exist and function in their own national context but also in the broader context of law beyond national borders. The authors provide a clear account of international and European public and private law in order to familiarise future generation of lawyers with international and European law and to analyse the impact of supranational legal system on the development of national law.
