Politik im Rechtsstaat

At first sight, only the relation between politics and the rule of law is unspectacular. Current quarrels over the politization of the legal system (e.g. in Poland and Hungary) and the juridification of politics (which becomes apparent in the demand for rights) make it obvious that freedom is at stake when tensions between politics and the rule of law run high. This volume analyses from a perspective that unites multiple disciplines’ tendencies towards politization and juridification along with the ideologies that accompany them. It combines theoretical and historical essays with the presentation of current conflicts in Chile, Hungary, Poland and Germany.
