Transnationalisierung und nationale Verfassungsordnung

Abstract

The Author analyses the topic of the influence of transnationalization of law on democracy, the latter considered as a form of political self-determination founded on equality of rights. It is argued which are the consequences on the form, the dimensions and the measure of self-determination when binding decisions are devolved to large political communities and adopted by agreement of many of their leaders. In such cases, it is interesting considering the advantages or disadvantages for democracy or, simply, for selfdetermination. It is a matter of special interest optimizing the cost-benefit ratio of selfdetermination of transnationalization of law.
