Abstract
Recent developments in economics and the science of law emphasize their cooperation for a better understanding of social structures and interactions, an effective application of social scientific knowledge and a rational evaluation and implementation of social norms. There are, however, difficult methodological problems in this endeavor: Whereas economics is mainly (with the exception of welfare economics) an empirical science which collects information about economic activities and the functioning of the economic system, the science of law is a normative discipline aiming at solving social conflicts and establishing rational principles for judicial decisions. In this paper, we suggest a three-level scheme for the interdisciplinary cooperation of law and economics, addressing the different problems that positive and normative economics face as they apply economic knowledge to legal matters. Economic analysis of law is proposed as a model for a general transformation of the traditionally hermeneutical jurisprudence into an analytic-normative science of law based on theoretical expectation (explanation) and the rational evaluation of the consequences of legal rules and principles.

"Die neue Nachbarschaftsstrategie der EU weist gravierende Mängel auf. Der Raum östlich der EU wird als Einheit betrachtet. Russland kommt jedoch eine Sonderrolle zu, weil seine Ressourcen für ganz Europa bedeutend sind. Auch ist europäische Sicherheit ohne Russland nicht denkbar. Die bestehenden Strategieerklärungen Russlands und der EU haben keine Substanz mehr. Für eine erfolgreiche Entwicklung der russländischen Demokratie ist die internationale Einbindung unerlässlich. Sinnvoll wäre eine 'besondere Assoziation' der russländischen Föderation mit der EU." (Autorenreferat)

There are serious shortcomings in the EU's new strategy toward its eastern neighbors. The space to the East of the EU is treated as a single unit, though Russia is seen to occupy a special position because its resources are important for Europe as a whole. Nor is European security conceivable without Russia. The existing strategic declarations of Russia & the EU no longer have any substance. If Russia's democracy is to develop successfully, it is vital that the country be tied into international structures. The best option would be a Special Association agreement between the Russian Federation & the EU. Adapted from the source document.
