"Konstitutionalisierung" ist zum Schlüsselbegriff der Debatten um die Legitimität des Regierens in der Europäischen Union und im internationalen System geworden. Dieser Essay plädiert für eine Rückbesinnung auf eine in diesen Diskussionen weithin vernachlässigte Disziplin. Es geht ihm dabei aber keineswegs um dominierende Konzeptionen des kontinentaleuropäischen Internationalen Privatrechts oder des anglo-amerikanischen Kollisionsrechts. Das Kollisionsrecht neuen Typs, für das er eintritt, befasst sich nämlich nicht mit der Entscheidung zwischen den verschiedenen Rechtsordnungen, zu denen eine Fallkonstellation Verbindungen aufweist. Es geht in diesem neuen "Kollisionenrecht" vielmehr um den Umgang mit externen Effekten, den binnenstaatlich legitimierten Gesetzen und Entscheidungen in anderen Rechtssystemen, deren betroffene Bürger sich nicht, wie es insbesondere in deliberativen Demokratietheorien gefordert wird, als deren Autoren verstehen können. Es ist der Beruf des Europarechts, das hierfür eine Vielfalt von Möglichkeiten bietet, diese Demokratiedefizite der Mitgliedstaaten der EU zu kompensieren und auf dieses Potential dessen konstitutionelle Dignität (seine supranationalen Geltungsansprüche) zu gründen. Ein solches Kollisionsrechts neuen Typs lässt sich, wenngleich mit weniger weitreichenden Ansprüchen auch für das internationale System entwickeln. Diese Perspektiven werden an Beispielen aus dem WTO-Recht entwickelt. Der kollisionsrechtliche Ansatz wird in drei Dimensionen weiter ausdifferenziert. Mit dieser Binnendifferenzierung reagiert der Ansatz auf Transformationen des Rechts, die sich auf allen Ebenen des Regierens vollzogen haben, zunächst in der Entfaltung regulativer Politiken, sodann in der Wende zum Regieren. In seiner "zweiten Dimension" geht es dem kollisionsrechtlichen Ansatz um eine Konstitutionalisierung transnationaler Kooperationsformen, in denen administrative Akteure dominieren, in seiner "dritten Dimension" um die Anerkennung bzw. Supervision von kooperativen Arrangements nicht-gouvernementaler Akteure und deren para-legaler Regime.

"Unity in Diversity" was the fortunate motto of the otherwise unfortunate Draft Constitutional Treaty. The motto did not make it into the Treaty of Lisbon. This essay argues that it deserves to be kept alive albeit in a new constitutional perspective, namely the re-conceptualisation of European law as "new type of conflicts law". The new type of conflicts law which the paper advocates is not concerned with selecting the proper legal system in cases with connections to various jurisdictions. It is instead meant to respond to the increasing interdependence of formerly more autonomous legal orders and to the democracy failure of constitutional states which result from the external effects of their laws and legal decisions on non-nationals. Europe has many means to compensate these shortcomings. It can derive its legitimacy from that compensatory potential without developing federal aspirations. The paper illustrates this approach with the help of two topical examples. The first is the conflict between European economic freedoms and national industrial relations (collective labour) law. The recent jurisprudence of the ECJ in Viking, Laval, and Rüffert in which the Court established the supremacy of the freedoms over national labour law is criticised as a counter-productive deepening of Europe's constitutional asymmetry and its social deficit.

"The term transnational governance designates untraditional types of international and regional collaboration among both public and private actors. These legally-structured or less formal arrangements link economic, scientific and technological spheres with political and legal processes. They are challenging the type of governance which constitutional states were supposed to represent and ensure. They also provoke old questions: Who bears the responsibility for governance without a government? Can accountability be ensured? The term 'constitutionalism' is still widely identified with statal form of democratic governance. The book refers to this term as a yardstick to which then contributors feel committed even where they plead for a reconceptualisation of constitutionalism or a discussion of its functional equivalents. 'Transnational governance' is neither public nor private, nor purely international, supranational nor totally denationalised. It is neither arbitrary nor accidental that we present our inquiries into this phenomenon in the series of International Studies on Private Law Theory."--Bloomsbury Publishing
