Overview

This comprehensive and insightful book discusses in detail the many innovations and shortcomings of the historic Lisbon version of the Treaty on European Union and what is now called the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Divided into six parts, the 23 chapters provide 'after Lisbon' perspectives on law and governance of the EU, its powers and nature, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, EU external action and policy, justice and criminal policy, and economic governance. The authors, drawn from eleven EU Member States, offer a uniquely diverse and extensive coverage of the new EU law and policy after Lisbon. The book argues that while the Treaty of Lisbon has to be considered a milestone in the history of European integration, its shortcomings and open questions will make a future major treaty inevitable. The Treaty of Lisbon and the Future of European Law and Policy will appeal to postgraduate students and academics in European law and policy, EU institutions, diplomatic missions, lobbying, NGOs, specialized lawyers and governments.

Reviews

`. . . this book is a mine of considered, diverse, learned and often contrary and controversial insights and opinions from leading experts in European law and policy. . . For EU lawyers and researchers into the complexities of the Treaty of Lisbon, this extensively footnoted book offers interesting background perspectives and should be considered a must-have acquisition, especially with its abundance of research materials.' -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine `All in all, the book provides a very insightful and critical account of many of the changes introduced by the Lisbon Treaty. The chapters are well written, highly readable and of great help for even specialised readers to understand some of the complexities resulting from the Lisbon Treaty.' -- Nathan Cambien, European Law Review `After Lisbon the EU has reached a new precarious stage in its development. New institutions have been created and policies reformed. The different chapters of this book cover the most important innovations, while providing a fresh critical assessment of the shortcomings of the present arrangements. Works are always in progress at the EU site and the authors provide the future architects of this grand building as well as the academic community with much food for thought.' -- Roberto Caranta, University of Turin, Italy
