EU Soft Law in the Member States : Theoretical Findings and Empirical Evidence, Paperback / softback Book

EU Soft Law in the Member States : Theoretical Findings and Empirical Evidence Paperback / softback

Edited by Mariolina (Maastricht University, the Netherlands) Eliantonio, Emilia (University of Eastern Finland) Korkea-aho, Dr Oana (King’s College London, UK) Stefan

Part of the EU Law in the Member States series

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume analyses, for the first time in European studies, the impact that non-legally binding material (otherwise known as soft law) has on national courts and administration.

The study is founded on empirical work undertaken by the European Network of Soft Law Research (SoLaR), across ten EU Member States, in competition policy, financial regulation, environmental protection and social policy.

The book demonstrates that soft law is taken into consideration at the national level and it clarifies the extent to which soft law can have legal and practical effects for individuals and national authorities.

The national case studies highlight the points of convergence or divergence in the way in which judges and administrators approach soft law, while reflecting on the reasons for and consequences of various national practices.

A series of horizontal studies connect this research to the rich literature on new modes of governance, by revisiting traditional theories on soft law, and by reflecting on the potential of such instruments to undermine or to foster rule of law values.
