Das Republikprinzip in der Rechtsordnungengemeinschaft

What is a republic? Challenging the traditional perception of the republican principle as a concept of constitutional law that is distinctively awkward and difficult to approach, Karsten Nowrot identifies new suitable perspectives and methodological approaches aimed at specifying the normative content and structure of this legal principle. The book illustrates the current notable potential of the republic as a normative guiding idea for the emerging community of domestic, supranational as well as international law.
