Reviews
'This path breaking book points to the salience of accountability in assessing the role of actors in judicial reforms and the impact of rule of law promotion on the quality of justice. In doing so the author effectively casts a new light on EU, and other IOs, in contributing to the quality of a democracy.' Leonardo Morlino, Istituto Italiano di Scienze Umane, Italy 'Daniela Piana has provided a wide ranging but integrative treatment of judicial accountability of immense value to comparative legal studies and then related it to developments in the newer member states of the EU. The volume will be welcomed by anyone interested in the constitutional development of the EU or political development more generally.' Martin M. Shapiro, University of California, USA 'Piana offers a nuanced empirical comparison on a range of measures examining how courts in the five nations she studied fared. I found her comparisons of perceptions of corruption, efficiency, impartiaity and independence of each nation and the EU 27 particularly interesting.' The Law and Politics Book Review
