Gemeinwohl in Republik und Union

The common good is a central term in German constitutional law, and it also has a huge impact on European and public international law. In this monograph, Michael Anderheiden develops a unified concept of common good for today's legal world, based on an individualistic and materialistic approach, traces its normative sources in the German Basic Law and European primary law, in particular in the basic liberties and the objectives of the EU Treaty, and gives convincing answers to numerous legal problems.
