Resumen de Gibt es eine österreichische Europarechtswissenschaft?
The paper addresses the question whether there exists a specific “Austrian” community of EU law scholars. This forms part of the broader question whether there exists a peculiar German or German-speaking community of EU law scholars (to which the current issue is devoted). To this end, the paper examines three fields – the impact of the legal positivist tradition in the Kelsenian style on EU law research in Austria, the constitutional framework for the Austrian participation in the EU as well as empirical factors specific to Austrian EU law academia and practice – and concludes that one may well make a case for the existence of a genuinely “Austrian” community of EU law scholars.
