Book excerpt: The second edition of this textbook is a study about the relation between EU law and national public law. Familiar EU doctrines - on procedural autonomy, direct effect, consistent interpretation, ex officio application of European law, and state liability - are used as a starting point for examining the effects of these doctrines in the various Member States. Consideration is also given to important questions concerning the enforcement of EU law in the national legal order, the organization of the judiciary, and the influence of EU law on fundament principles of (public) law, such as legal certainty, non-discrimination, and proportionality. The book is particularly designed for advanced bachelors and masters courses on the relation between national law and EU law. Because of the many examples of national case law, the book will be most welcome to any practitioner dealing with European law in a national context. [Subject: European Law, Public Law]

Book National Constitutions in European and Global Governance  Democracy  Rights  the Rule of Law

Download or read book National Constitutions in European and Global Governance Democracy Rights the Rule of Law written by Anneli Albi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 1522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume book, published open access, brings together leading scholars of constitutional law from twenty-nine European countries to revisit the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to the European and transnational level. It offers important insights into three areas. First, it explores how constitutions reflect the transfer of powers from domestic to European and global institutions. Secondly, it revisits substantive constitutional values, such as the protection of constitutional rights, the rule of law, democratic participation and constitutional review, along with constitutional court judgments that tackle the protection of these rights and values in the transnational context, e.g. with regard to the Data Retention Directive, the European Arrest Warrant, the ESM Treaty, and EU and IMF austerity measures. The responsiveness of the ECJ regarding the above rights and values, along with the standard of protection, is also assessed. Thirdly, challenges in the context of global governance in relation to judicial review, democratic control and accountability are examined. On a broader level, the contributors were also invited to reflect on what has increasingly been described as the erosion or ‘twilight’ of constitutionalism, or a shift to a thin version of the rule of law, democracy and judicial review in the context of Europeanisation and globalisation processes. The national reports are complemented by a separately published comparative study, which identifies a number of broader trends and challenges that are shared across several Member States and warrant wider discussion. The research for this publication and the comparative study were carried out within the framework of the ERC-funded project ‘The Role and Future of National Constitutions in European and Global Governance’. The book is aimed at scholars, researchers, judges and legal advisors working on the interface between national constitutional law and EU and transnational law. The extradition cases are also of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of criminal law. Anneli Albi is Professor of European Law at the University of Kent, United Kingdom. Samo Bardutzky is Assistant Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Book The Europeanisation of International Law

Download or read book The Europeanisation of International Law written by Jan Wouters and published by T.M.C. Asser Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International law has increasingly become a part of the EU legal order, and has thereby become 'Europeanised'. Consequently, its application and interpretation by EU Member States is no longer solely a matter for their own constitutional order, but is also governed by EU law. This book addresses the effects of European integration on the position of public international law in the European Union and its Member States, illuminating critical questions pertaining to this triangular relationship. Are we dealing with the emergence of a distinct European system of public international law? To what extent do Member States actually recognise the effect of this 'Europeanisation' of international law? What role does the European Court of Justice play with respect to the application and interpretation of 'Europeanised' international law within the Member States.

Book Eurolegalism

  • Author : R. Daniel Kelemen
  • Publisher : Harvard University Press

  • ISBN : 0674265025
  • Pages : 379 pages

Download or read book Eurolegalism written by R. Daniel Kelemen and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite western Europe's traditional disdain for the United States' "adversarial legalism," the European Union is shifting toward a very similar approach to the law, according to Daniel Kelemen. Coining the term "eurolegalism" to describe the hybrid that is now developing in Europe, he shows how the political and organizational realities of the EU make this shift inevitable. The model of regulatory law that had long predominated in western Europe was more informal and cooperative than its American counterpart. It relied less on lawyers, courts, and private enforcement, and more on opaque networks of bureaucrats and other interests that developed and implemented regulatory policies in concert. European regulators chose flexible, informal means of achieving their objectives, and counted on the courts to challenge their decisions only rarely. Regulation through litigation-central to the U.S. model-was largely absent in Europe. But that changed with the advent of the European Union. Kelemen argues that the EU's fragmented institutional structure and the priority it has put on market integration have generated political incentives and functional pressures that have moved EU policymakers to enact detailed, transparent, judicially enforceable rules-often framed as "rights"-and back them with public enforcement litigation as well as enhanced opportunities for private litigation by individuals, interest groups, and firms.

Book Law and Integration in the European Union

Download or read book Law and Integration in the European Union written by Stephen Weatherill and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the European Union has enjoyed a significant increase in its profile at both national and international levels. This book explains how the legal rules which underpin the process of integration in the European Union have been shaped in order to give effect to the Union's objectives. It is accordingly suitable as an introductory text designed to expose the reader to the basic constitutional and substantive principles of European Union law. Union law exerts an increasingly profound impact on domestic law and this book will equip a lawyer unfamiliar with the principles of Union law with an awareness of when and why Union law is of relevance in domestic litigation. The evolution of Union law continues apace. Increasingly its law has developed as an instrument of market integration and of market regulation. However recent years have witnessed controversy concerning the appropriate allocation of responsibilities between the Union's own institutions and national authorities. This book provides a fully up-to-date assessment of the changing shape of the European Union and its legal structure.

Book General Principles of Law

    Book Details:
  • Author : Stefan Vogenauer
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2017-06-15
  • ISBN : 1509910697
  • Pages : 432 pages

Download or read book General Principles of Law written by Stefan Vogenauer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining general principles of law provides one of the most instructive examples of the intersection between EU law and comparative law. This collection draws on the expertise of high-profile and distinguished scholars to provide a critical examination of this interaction. It shows how general principles of EU law need to be responsive to national laws. In addition, it is clear that the laws of the Member States have no choice but to be responsive to the general principles which are developed through EU law. Viewed through the perspective of proportionality, legal certainty, and fundamental rights, the dynamic relationship between the ingenuity of the Court of Justice, the legislative process and the process of Treaty revision is comprehensively illustrated.

Book Nordic Law in European Context

Download or read book Nordic Law in European Context written by Pia Letto-Vanamo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nordic law is often referred to as something different from other legal systems. At the same time, it is a common belief that the Nordic countries share more or less the same legal tradition and are very similar in their approach to the law. Considering both of these points of view, the book tells a story of how Nordic law and Nordic legal thinking differ from other legal systems, and how there are many particularities in the law of each of the Nordic countries, making them different from each other. The idea of “Nordic” law also conceals national features. The basic premise of the book is that even if, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a Nordic common law, it still makes sense to speak of “Nordic” law, and that acquiring a more-than-basic knowledge of this law is interesting not only for comparative lawyers, but also helpful for those working with Nordic lawyers and dealing with questions involving law in the Nordic countries.

Book Constructing Legal Systems   European Union  in Legal Theory

Download or read book Constructing Legal Systems European Union in Legal Theory written by N. MacCormick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal theory has been much occupied with understanding legal systems and analysing the concept of legal system. This has usually been done on the tacit or explicit assumption that legal systems and states are co-terminous. But since the Rome Treaty there has grown up in Europe a `new legal order', neither national law nor international law, and under its sway older conceptions of state sovereignty have been rendered obsolete. At the same time, it has been doubted whether the `European Union' that has grown out of the original `European Communities' has a satisfactory constitution or any constitution at all. What kind of legal and political entity is this `Union' and how does it relate juridically and politically to its member states? Further, the activity of construing or constructing `legal system' and legal knowledge becomes visibly problematic in this context. These essays wrestle with the above problems.

Book The Europeanisation of International Family Law

Download or read book The Europeanisation of International Family Law written by N. A. Baarsma and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice of law determines which national legal system applies to an international case. Currently many choice of law rules in the field of family law are regulated by national law. However, these national rules of the EU Member States are more and more displaced by common European rules. This book describes the changes brought by the Europeanisation of the choice of law on divorce. From the conclusions drawn in the field of divorce the concluding chapter discusses the changes of Europeanisation of international family law in a broader perspective.

Book The European Union and National Civil Procedure

Download or read book The European Union and National Civil Procedure written by Anna Nylund and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This publication is extremely interesting since it shows that the law of the European Union has an impact on national procedural law. Cross-fertilisation is indeed a very important tool.'--Marcel Storme, Honorary Pres. of the International Assoc. of Procedural Law ***This book discusses the impact of EU law on selected national legal systems. The authors analyze how the civil procedure system of their countries has reacted to increasing Europeanisation and the influence of EU law. They identify significant changes and disseminate the reasons for particular developments and the further implications of EU law on the civil procedure. Europe is in a period of increasing Europeanisation of civil procedure. Procedural elements of EU law are based on decentralised enforcement, leaving enforcement and procedural issues to the Member States. Consequently, there is vast amount of EU case law that is relevant for national procedural law. The supremacy of EU law and, inter alia, the requirements of effectiveness and equivalence may be relevant for several topics of national civil procedural law. Both EU legislation and doctrinal changes in EU case law touch upon various topics of the procedural law of the Member States. A comprehensive comparison between the countries represented in the book is made. (Series: Ius Commune Europaeum, Vol. 150) Subject: EU Law, National Law]

Book Towards a European Public Law

    Book Details:
  • Author : Bernard Stirn
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2017-04-14
  • ISBN : 0192506617
  • Pages : 200 pages

Download or read book Towards a European Public Law written by Bernard Stirn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A European public law is under construction, but how has this occurred and what is its character? Stirn proposes that this European public law is being constructed by the convergence of three circles: the law of the European Union, the law of the European Convention on Human Rights, and the different domestic legal orders. The mutually influential relationship of these constituents has allowed them to develop, most considerably in the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. The book begins by reflecting on the different phases of the development of the European project from the end of the First World War. It outlines the transition from the European Coal and Steel Community to the European Union, as well as the other institutions contributing to these developments. The discussion then moves to the European legal order, which consists of the law of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights. Stirn explores how, in spite of occasional false starts and frictions, their relationship is becoming ever closer, and how their characteristics in law are becoming increasingly similar. Furthermore, Stirn analyses the relationship between European law and national legal systems. The differing approach to domestic incorporation of international law, whether it be monist or dualist is considered, as well as the recognition that European law is superior to domestic law. The character specifically of EU law, and how it compares to international and domestic law is also discussed, in particular its unique features but also the principles it shares with domestic law. In addition, the book examines the existence or not in member states' of constitutional courts, the level or jurisdictional orders and the recruitment and status of judges. Similar trends across Europe in public administration are also accounted for and subjected to analysis. Stirn concludes that a European model of public administration is becoming apparent.
