The volume unfolds the fundamental aspects of constitutional law in Germany and France through a comparative legal approach. It systematically explores the institutional and material constitutional law of both countries, including their respective contextual conditions. The ongoing shift in perspective between the law on this side and the other side of the Rhine reveals overarching issues of the modern constitutional state and simultaneously allows for a critical examination of constitutional legal strategies. The book is aimed at anyone who wishes to navigate both constitutional orders reflectively in the course of their studies, research, specialized foreign language training, or legal practice, and seeks an integrated comparative legal approach that goes beyond a separate presentation of the legal situation in both states.
