New Directions in the Effective Enforcement of EU Law and Policy

Edited by Sara Drake, Lecturer and Melanie Smith, Reader, Cardiff School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University, UK

’A welcome addition to scholarship on the enforcement of EU Law, the Drake and Smith edited collection brings three interrelated approaches to bear on the pressing and familiar challenge of effective enforcement: regulation, networked governance and innovations in enforcement in traditional and new fields of EU competence. In doing so, it requires EU law scholars to reconsider what is meant by enforcement and, through its engagement with political science, brings this important legal question to a wider EU Studies audience.’
