Rechtsangleichungsprozesse in der Europäischen Union Instrumente, Funktionsmechanismen und Wirkparameter effektiver Harmonisierung

In this volume, the author asks fundamental questions about harmonisation processes in the EU by comparing six historic harmonising measures, both directives and from primary law. How does harmonisation work from the law's point of view? Which parameters might guarantee success? Are they located at EU or at national level? How should measures be designed in order to be successful? These questions are answered based on the paradigm of "legal transplants" as well as by using models from legal sociology and cultural theory.
