»Mutual Reinforcement of Fundamental Rights under the German Basic Law« In light of the intersecting nature of fundamental rights under the Basic Law, several rights may be invoked concurrently in certain cases.

Introducing a new approach for determining normative intersections, the author shows that this may create an effect of mutual reinforcement.weiterlesen
