Comments/contents:
The European Union has been in a structural crisis for several years.
European economic and monetary policy issues are central to understanding the causes of the crisis and to dealing with them
legally: at no point is the difficult interrelationship between the Member States and the players at the European level more apparent.
Since the financial crisis of 2008, new legal forms of action have developed that go beyond the usual framework of the EU Treaty.
The lecture aims to enable students with a basic knowledge of European law to participate in the discussion of one of the most fundamental topics of our current economic policy and legal everyday life.
It starts with the banking crisis of 2008, communicates the connections to the sovereign debt crisis since 2010 and traces the various crisis phenomena back to their basic structures: How is the monetary system structured in the European Union? What are the interdependencies between economic and monetary policy, and how can both be distinguished? What role does the ECB play and how does it differ from national central banks? How does the state rescue work, e.g. in the cases of Greece and Ireland? What are the reasons for and limits of such interventions? What legal standards do European Community law and national constitutional law contain and how do the European Court of Justice, the Federal Constitutional Court and jurisprudence interpret them? How will Brexit change this structure in its different course possibilities?
The lecture provides a detailed introduction to the structure of norms in Part Three, Title VIII TFEU in the light of case law, academic and political discussion. At the same time, it repeats and deepens the already familiar structures of general European law on the basis of concrete examples: The main legal decisions of the BVerfG and the ECJ are discussed with concrete and detailed outlines of solutions. The question is designed in such a way that not only the legal, but also the economic, political and philosophical points of contact flow into the lecture. A detailed overview of the semester program will be presented at the beginning of the lecture.
