»Mehr Freiheit wagen« - Beiträge zur Emeritierung von Jürgen Basedow

In autumn 2017, Jürgen Basedow retired as Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law in Hamburg, occasion for the institute and his students to reflect on central themes taken up in Basedow's broad field of research. The symposium in his honour, entitled »Risking More Freedom«, recounted his seminal book »Mehr Freiheit wagen - Über Deregulierung und Wettbewerb«, which was published by Mohr Siebeck in 2002. In addition to the keynote address and the symposium's introductory and concluding remarks, the present volume includes contributions from adherents of the »Basedow School« on the topics of private law, insurance law, labour law, commercial law, conflict of laws, procedural law and the foundations of law and comparative law.
