Students new to the study of EU law can find knowing what questions to ask to be as much of a challenge as answering them. This book clearly sets the scene: it explores the history and institutions of the EU, examines the interplay of its main bodies in its legislative process and illustrates the role played by the EU Courts and the importance of fundamental rights. The student is also introduced to the key principles of the internal market, in particular the free movement of goods and the free movement of workers. In addition a number of other EU policies, such as the Common Agricultural Policy, Environmental Protection and Social Policy are outlined, while a more detailed inquiry is made into European competition law. This book is an essential first port-of-call for all students of European law.

The investigation delves into the responses of national courts when faced with disputes that involve international organizations. It explores the legal frameworks, judicial interpretations, and the implications of these interactions, providing insights into the balance between national sovereignty and international obligations. Through various case studies, the book highlights the complexities and challenges that arise in such legal scenarios, offering a comprehensive analysis of the evolving relationship between domestic and international law.

Die Frage der Staateninsolvenz ist durch die gegenwärtige Finanzkrise besonders aktuell. Gleichwohl handelt es sich dabei keineswegs um ein neues Phänomen. Die bisherige Praxis war meist durch Ad-hoc-Lösungen im Rahmen des sogenannten Pariser oder Londonder Klubs gekennzeichnet. Der vorliegende Sammelband enthält Beiträge zur Staateninsolvenz aus historischer, ökonomischer und juristischer Sicht. Dabei werden Modelle für die Insolvenz von Gebietskörperschaften als mögliche Vorbilder für ein Staateninsolvenzverfahren ebenso erörtert wie ein möglicher künftiger Staateninsolvenzmechanismus auf völkerrechtlicher Ebene.
