Internationales Öffentliches Recht

»International Public Law«, as presented by Jörg Menzel, is not a treatise on international law but a study on national law with a transnational perspective. Jörg Menzel suggests that such a topic has been neglected for too long and its recent revival is to be appreciated. This book is the first comprehensive study of the topic in the German language. It addresses international and European law as well as the constitutional and administrative law framework regarding transnational legal questions and transnational administrative activities. The concept of this thesis is based on the idea of an 'open state', which regards other states routinely as cooperation partners but is also open to the needs of individuals and the common goods around the globe.
