Conflict and Transformation : Essays on European Law and Policy, Paperback / softback Book

Conflict and Transformation : Essays on European Law and Policy Paperback / softback

Part of the International Studies in the Theory of Private Law series

Paperback / softback

Description

In this important compendium, one of the leading scholars of EU law and its legal framework, reflects on his previous writings in the context of current challenges the European project is facing.

More than a simple restatement, it offers an important theoretical comment at this defining time for EU law.

The author offers a welcome counterbalance to what some perceive to be a surfeit of optimism when assessing the EU and its development.

In so doing, Professor Joerges identifies three flaws in the current European ideology.

Firstly, he points to the intellectual weakness of the “integration through law” ideology.

Secondly, the book sets out the systematic neglect of “the economic” and its political dynamics.

Finally, it addresses the complacency with respect to Europe’s darker legacies.

This is an important critical (and candid) assessment of Europe at its half century.
