The Solitude of European Law Made in Germany

Although European law is transnational by definition, discourses about EU law continue to be structured along linguistic lines. For that reason, the issue of multilingualism is essential for the identity of academic debates about EU law. Daniel Thym reflects upon the current state of multilingualism and the roles of English language contributions in his recent contribution to the Verfassungsblog under the title ‘The Solitude of European Law Made in Germany’. The contribution is meant to invite all those working on EU law to reflect upon the relevance of languages and (trans-)national discourses.
