Reviews

[A] most welcome addition to this growing body of literature...the book...is certainly to be recommended. Academics and practitioners will benefit from it. Through the lens of the 'emergency constitution' approach, the books offers a high standard of analysis of the main legal and also political challenges that the EU faces in addressing global emergencies. To be sure, the debate is far from being closed. New recent emergencies which involve the EU, such as the extension of debt risks to other EU Member States and the well-known changes of regime in some North African countries, prove that the topic, and the book under review, has never been so timely.Riccardo SciaudoneEuropean Foreign Affairs Review1/2013The collection ... makes a welcome contribution to a thin literature.Urfan KhaliqEuropean Law ReviewVolume 38...an extremely comprehensive contribution to understanding this complex field!Michel TheysAgence EuropeNo. 935
