Research Handbook on the Politics of EU Law

Edited by Paul James Cardwell, Professor of Law, The Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London, UK and Marie-Pierre Granger, Associate Professor, Central European University, Austria

‘The Research Handbook on the Politics of EU Law makes a significant contribution to European Integration literature. Covering a range of topics from EU institutional order, to EU system of governance, as well as substantive areas of EU policy where law and politics meet, complement and, sometimes, conflict. This is a multi-dimensional book and a useful reference guide for both legal academics, political scientists, and scholars from other disciplines who have a strong interest in the EU’s political integration through law.’
