Ökonomische Analyse des Europarechts

Despite the numerous publications concerning the basic economic principles of the European integration process, studies on individual institutional and material questions are still rare. Against this backdrop, the 12th »Travemünde Symposium« was dedicated to the analysis of some key questions of European integration. The convention thus aimed at giving new impetus to the development of this field of research. On the one hand, a number of contributions deal with fundamental questions, such as the sphere of competencies assigned to the European Court of Justice and the controversial discussions on some of its judgments. On the other hand, current questions concerning the financial crisis and its consequences for European integration are a main focus of this volume. A law and economics approach on how to treat insolvency of member states and the monitoring of state aid by the European Commission are exemplary subjects in this regard.
