Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course continues the course from the SS 2025-term, but it can be attended by anyone interested in the topic. The successful completion of the first course is not a prerequisite for admission.
Neoliberalism left an enormous imprint on the legal system and on legal thinking: deregulation, public-private partnerships, the European Union and the spread of freedom of trade on the one hand, law and economics, public, social choice theory and F.A. Hayek’s work, on the other, are testament to the enormous impact that neoliberalism has had on law. Yet the triumph of the market and its attendant cosmopolitian sensibilities has also provoked the recrudescence of earlier anti-liberal hostilities. The late global career of Carl Schmitt’s theory is a case in point. The most recent development is the emergence of self-ascribed ‘post-liberal’ positions in legal philosophy, some of which claim to be Roman Catholic, while others align themselves with progressive causes.
