Recht und Politik (RuP) is a German law journal examining developments in German and European law and policy. RuP focuses in particular on public and constitutional law. From its first issue in 1965, the journal’s approach has been interdisciplinary, blending progressive discussions of legal matters with important political context. German legislative and judicial decision-making is so intertwined with EU legislation and court decisions that RuP is intensifying its attention to EU issues. Starting in 2017, RuP expands its analysis of legal discussions at EU level and publishes selected key documents from the Court of Justice of the EU. Recht und Politik is published quarterly in German. Its readers and contributors are primarily lawyers, judges, legal scholars, political scientists, politicians, and practitioners involved in developing legislation on European and national level. RuP contributors include prominent members of the German legal establishment as well as up and coming scholars and practitioners.

The modern theory of law is a general theory of law and society, which must be compatible with all existing legal systems in the social reality of the law. With regard to this social reality of the law, which determines all human experiencing and acting, legal theory is understood as an analytic hermeneutical and social science of action that is exclusively theory and not the philosophy of law. Above all, general legal theory in a world society that is now growing closer is concerned with encountering the equalization of national law with the law in general and avoiding the errors of a purely philosophical and moral legal concept and a strictly analytical jurisprudence, as well as overcoming the misjudgements of a purely historical and socioeconomic legal concept. In view of the constantly growing possibilities of normative communication, especially those of the law, and the multitude of state-organized legal systems, this international journal serves the jurisprudential basic research, the comparison of methods and theories, and the structure and expansion of a modern structure theory, especially the legal theory of norms and action.
