Focus of the scientific work

Enderlein dealt with questions of applied economic policy . The focus was on international economic and financial relations, European economic and currency integration , debt crises and the EU budget . After the beginning of the crisis in the euro area, Enderlein pleaded for a common economic and financial policy as the only possible answer to the crisis. In a conversation with Jürgen Habermas , Joschka Fischer and Christian Calliess for the newspapers for German and international politics , he advocated a "flight forward: a common European economic and social policy". Enderlein was also considered an expert on national bankruptcies and debt rescheduling.

From 2006 to 2012 he headed a project funded by the German Research Foundation on debt crises and national bankruptcies within the Collaborative Research Center 700: “Governance in Areas of Limited Statehood: New Forms of Government?”. In 2012, Enderlein spoke out in a controversially discussed report for the state government of Baden-Württemberg with co-authors in favor of a tough consolidation course and the inclusion of a debt brake in the state constitution. Enderlein belonged to the “Glienicker Group”, consisting of eleven German economists, lawyers and political scientists, who presented a proposal for a “Euro-Union” in autumn 2012.
