Author aut Of Blind Men, Elephants and European Disintegration – What could and what should legal academics do against the “disintegration” of Europe? Mayer, Franz C. Verfassungsblog 2015-03-26 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier In how far is a European law scholar justified, or even obliged to man the barricades, even if only in a metaphorical sense, if and as far as the European Union and European Constitutional Law are in peril? Against the backdrop of clarifying the role of science of European constitutional law in times of European crisis, I would like to deal with the initial question in two separate steps. As a first step, I seek to explore what is behind the process of European “disintegration”. In a second step, I will then look at different levels of challenges that legal science, namely European legal science, is currently facing. It will then become evident that the employment of concepts of disintegration is not considerably more rewarding compared to other approaches. funded by the government CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Max Steinbeis Verfassungsblog gGmbH Verfassungsblog 2366-7044 https://staging.verfassungsblog.de/von-blinden-maennern-und-elefanten-was-kann-und-sollte-die-rechtswissenschaft-gegen-die-desintegration-europas-tun/ raw object
