National legal scholarship in the European legal area--A manifesto

Abstract

The advancing European integration poses fundamental questions for the various national traditions of legal scholarship. With a particular view to the German case, these questions will be unfolded in a first step, which will show how legal scholarship is affected by the political project of a European research area, the dynamics of a European legal area and, in this context, by leading American law schools. In a second step, I will submit considerations for dealing with these challenges, namely by an intensification of comparative legal analysis, a Europeanization of methods and a pluralization of the disciplinary identities. The article advances subjects already exposed in an earlier piece1 and responds, to the extent possible under the new focus, to its discussion by Michel Rosenfeld, Robert Post, Mattias Kumm, Alexander Somek,2 and Giulio Napolitano.3
