Details

Addressing the tensions between the political and the legal dimension of European integration as well as intra-institutional dynamics, this insightful book navigates the complex topic of judicial politics. Providing an overview of key topics in the current debate and including an introductory chapter on different conceptions of judicial politics, experts in law and politics interrogate the broader political role of the European Court of Justice.

Revisiting Judicial Politics in the European Union explores the variety of interactions between legal and political actors across sensitive policy fields, as well as different ways in which legal institutions engage with political or moral norms. Chapters discuss institutional balance in the EU, the role of judges and experts in judicial politics, the place of fundamental rights in matters of jurisdiction, and the relationship between ordinary national courts and the European Court of Justice.

This timely book provides a unique understanding of the enduring impact of judicial politics in the EU. It will be essential reading for academics studying constitutional and administrative law, European law, and politics, as well as for EU law practitioners and experts working within the EU institutions.
