For decades the German federation, the Länder and the municipalities have been working together with neighboring states to perform their duties. Although forms of cooperation which were not legally binding seemed to be sufficient for a long time, demands among state and administrative authorities for legally binding contractual forms of their transfrontier relationships are becoming increasingly loud. Embedded in the current developments in state and administrative practice, Matthias Niedobitek shows how transfrontier contracts are concluded and examines the possibility of transfrontier contracts concluded by the German federation, the Länder and the municipalities in the legal systems under consideration (international law, European Community law, domestic law). He then deals with the transfer of sovereign rights as the most intensive form of transfrontier contracts.
