In dem Tagungsband werden Methodenfragen des Europarechts, besonders des Europäischen Privatrechts, umfassend systematisch dargestellt. Neben Grundlagen - Rechtsvergleichung und Ökonomische Theorie - erörtern die Autoren Methodenfragen des Primär- und Sekundärrechts sowie des mitgliedstaatlichen (Umsetzungs-) Rechts. Dabei beschränkt sich die Darstellung nicht auf eine abstrakte Untersuchung der Grundfragen: In einem Besonderen Teil widmen sich Wissenschaftler und Praktiker des Europäischen Rechts zum einen Methodenfragen in einzelnen Rechtsgebieten - Vertrags-, Arbeits-, Gesellschafts- und Kapitalmarktrecht -, zum anderen Methodenfragen in der Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs und des deutschen Bundesgerichtshofs. Das Gesamtwerk verbindet so eine vertiefte Untersuchung von Methodenfragen mit der exemplarischen Vertiefung für einzelne Rechtsgebiete und Institutionen. Es ermöglicht dem Wissenschaftler und dem Praktiker sowohl eine Gesamtübersicht als auch den Zugang zu Einzelfragen.
