Judging Europe’s Judges: The Legitimacy of the Case Law of the European Court of Justice


Add your own review!

Overview

After successive waves of EU enlargement, and pursuant to the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the European Court of Justice finds itself on the brink of a new era. Both the institution itself and the broader setting within which it operates have become more heterogeneous than ever before. The issues now arriving on its docket are also often of great complexity, covering an unprecedented number of fields. The aims of this volume are to study the impact of these developments, examine the legitimacy of the Court's output in this novel context and provide an appraisal of its overall performance. In doing so, specific attention is paid to its most recent case law on four topics: the general principles of EU law, external relations, the internal market and Union citizenship. Featuring contributions by Maurice Adams, Henri de Waele, Johan Meeusen and Gert Straetmans, Koen Lenaerts, Ján Mazák and Martin Moser, Stephen Weatherill, Jukka Snell, Michael Dougan, Daniel Thym, Eileen Denza, Michal Bobek, and Joseph Weiler.

Reviews

... a fascinating volume that addresses the legitimacy of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. It would be of particular interest to those working on the 'hard cases' recently decided by the CJEU, but also more generally to anyone interested in European law. Michele Finck EUtopia Law Blog February 2014 ...I can only wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in EU law and the more philosophical or political questions of its legitimacy. Again, particularly in these times of euroscepticism and the tabloids' war on the EU, this book fills an important gap and might provide Europhiles with some excellent arguments for their next chat with the sceptics.
