This volume of essays casts light on the shape and future direction of the EU in the wake of the Lisbon Treaty and highlights the incomplete nature of the reforms. Contributors analyse some of the most innovative and most controversial aspects of the Treaty, such as the role and nature of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the relationship between the EU and the European Court of Human Rights. In addition, they reflect on the ongoing economic and financial crisis in the Euro area, which has forced the EU Member States to re-open negotiations and update a number of aspects of the Lisbon 'settlement'. Together, the essays provide a variety of insights into some of the most crucial innovations introduced by the Lisbon Treaty and in the context of the adoption of the new European Financial Stability Mechanism.

• Provides a broad and contextual coverage of the main innovations introduced by the Lisbon Treaty and by the subsequently adopted European Financial Stability Mechanism

• An authoritative and contextual understanding of the Lisbon innovations, both in law and in practice

• Contributors include leading authorities in the area of EU law and policy, as well as policy makers and heads of EU institutions directly involved in the negotiations and subsequent implementation of the Treaty

Advance praise: 'The Treaty of Lisbon limped into force in 2009, stripped of constitutional flourish and accompanied by a sense of political exhaustion. And yet the economic and financial crisis (in particular) has made vivid how much more needs to be done. This volume successfully captures the incomplete yet dynamic character of the Lisbon reforms: it is splendidly forward-looking.' Stephen Weatherill, University of Oxford
