Globalization and Europeanization have put pressure on the legal system to make adaptations. Many institutions of constitutional law and non-constitutional law have to be re-assessed. In doing so, it is necessary to establish which attitude the open state should take to supranational law-making. Volker Röben shows that constitutional law is directed outwards, which means that democracy, the separation of powers and the protection of fundamental rights all include activities in relation to foreign countries.
