Susanne K. Schmidt is Professor of Political Science at the University of Bremen. She has published widely on questions of European integration, including the role of the Commission, competition and liberalization policies in the EU, and mutual recognition as a new mode of governance. The policy implications of the European Court of Justice's case law at the European and national levels are the current focus of her research. Her work has appeared in journals such as the Journal of Public Policy, the Journal of European Public Policy, West European Politics, European Union Politics, the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis, Public Administration, and German Politics. Her publications include The Power of the European Court of Justice (co-authored with R. Daniel Kelemen, Routledge, 2013) and Mutual Recognition as a New Mode of Governance (Routledge, 2008).

Professor Schmidt uses several case studies to provide a detailed analysis of a number of major ECJ decisions bearing upon the rights of individuals and the binding constraints placed on national courts which, she suggests, must have been one of the factors that drove the British exit from the Union. She is not wrong. When the inevitable obituary of the EU comes to be written, this volume will be an important source in determining the cause of death!
