The German third-party effect of fundamental rights (»Drittwirkung«) is predominantly perceived as a positive achievement. Christopher Unseld shows, by leaning on Foucault's theory on governmentality and recapitulating the US Supreme Court's »state action doctrine«, that this is by no means self-evident. His thesis raises doubts as to whether the CJEU's seemingly progressive horizontal effect jurisprudence truly represents a positive twist on the European constitutional project.
