Theorie des internationalen Wirtschaftsrechts

In the wake of the globalization of economic relationships, the field of international economic law has become of increasing interest to scholars and politicians. In this book, Jochen Hoffmann has drafted a theory of international economic law and the economic order resulting from it. The central points of interest are not specific norms or branches of the law but rather an understanding of the basic principles of (broadly defined) international economic law. Based on the concept of order defined by F.A. von Hayek, the author also analyzes the structures, principles and the functioning of the economic order resulting from these principles. Thus the book deals with the fundamental theoretical concept of international economic law and its effects as a prerequisite and a driving force for international economic relationships.
