Die deutschen Staatsgrenzen

It is not only historians, social scientists and geographers who are concerned with national boundaries. Since every state has its own territory, defining its limits has always been of great significance in international relations. It is therefore surprising that up to now there has not been an in-depth study of this subject as it pertains to German boundaries. In order to close this research gap, Daniel-Erasmus Khan makes use of legal science and academic disciplines bordering on this in his work. The author analyzes the legal and historical dimensions of the foundations of the Federal Republic of Germany which were partially laid in the Middle Ages and in addition gives a multifaceted picture of the legal systems pertaining to the various German boundaries.
