This book on the obligations of and risks for management and board members in German corporations is intended to serve as a source of general guidance and specific reference for board members in Germany. As a consequence of the globalization of the businesses of many companies, the composition of corporate boards is now much more international compared to a few years ago. Foreign board members in particular require access to English-language sources that help them navigate through the myriads of legal and other requirements that provide the framework in which board members of German companies work.

Comparative lawyers have to deal with many questions: What is law at home and abroad, what are legal rules here and there? How can we compare the largely unknown? The author Prof. Dr. Bernhard Grossfeld answers as follows: Law is part of a people´s identity as an imagined community and stands for a common dream, e.g. an American dream or a German dream. Geography and communications with signs form these dreams. In various chapters Grossfeld decodes the connections of religion, literature, poetry, music and mathematics with law.

The book is based on lectures the author gave at the University of Iceland School of Law in 2009. Its aim is to explain the working and the case law of the EFTA Court in view of its embeddedness in the institutional framework of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Although Europe is a special case with regard to the judicialisation of law, Baudenbacher’s insight and his conclusions may contribute to a better understanding of the functioning of international courts in general.

Not only but also in terms of banking and financial markets, the Federal Republic of Germany is one of the leading market places in Europe and thus, in all modesty, also in the world. And Frankfurt is its financial centre. Frankfurt is not the world‘s biggest off shore centre. This is still London. It is also not the centre of the world’s biggest domestic market. That is still New York. But at the centre of Europe, surrounded by a strong national economy, with intensive contacts to the vital markets in Central and Eastern Europe, the host of the European Central Bank and one of the highest regulated markets in the world, the German financial markets and their regulation are certainly worth a closer look.
