The EU has become a powerful migration policy actor. As a result, European migration policy is increasingly coming into conflict with its obligation to protect human rights. This open access volume names the most urgent challenges, develops the relevant legal standards and makes proposals for reform. Central problem areas included are:-access to asylum in the EU-freedom of movement for migrants-legal procedural guarantees-the ban on discrimination based on residence status-respect for social and family ties in migration control measures-the guarantee of minimum social rights for irregular migrants, and-the public and civil society infrastructure to defend human rights.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on https://doi.org/10.5771/9783748926740.

For the time being, the political project of basing the European Union on a document entitled 'Constitution' has failed. The second, revised and enlarged edition of this volume retains its title nonetheless. Building on a scholarly rather than black-letter law account, it shows European constitutional law as it looks following the Treaty of Lisbon, with the EU's foundational treaties mandating the exercise of public authority, establishing a hierarchy of norms and legitimising legal acts, providing for citizenship, and granting fundamental rights. In this way the treaties shape the relations between legal orders, between public interest regulation and market economy, and between law and politics. The contributions demonstrate in detail how a constitutional approach furthers understanding of the core issues of EU law, how it offers theoretical and doctrinal insights, and how it adds critical perspective. From Reviews of the First Edition: "...should be mandatory reading for anyone who wants to get a holistic perspective of the academic debate on Europe's constitutional foundations...It is impossible to present the richness of thought contained in the 833 pages of the book in a short review." Common Market Law Review "an enduring scholarly work, which gives an English-speaking audience important, and overdue, access to the long-standing and forever-vigorous traditions of (European) constitutional law...unhesitatingly recommend[ed]." European Law Journal "...real scholarship in the profound sense of the word..." K Lenaerts, Professor of European Law, Leuven

Die Handlungsformen gehörten bislang zu den systematisch unaufgearbeiteten Teilen des Unions- und Gemeinschaftsrechts. Jürgen Bast legt eine Grundlagenstudie vor, die die Handlungsformen der EU dogmatisch erschließt und sie zu weiteren Zentralkategorien des europäischen Verfassungsrechts - Organe, Kompetenzen, Rechtsschutz - in Beziehung setzt. Der Schlüssel zum Verständnis der verschiedenen Handlungsformen ist ihr je spezifischer Wirkungsmodus: ein charakteristisches Bündel von rechtlichen Wirkungen, die ein Rechtsakt aufgrund seiner formalen Identität entfalten kann. Als Fallstudie entwickelt die Arbeit detailliert das Rechtsregime des Beschlusses. Mit dieser Handlungsform, die in der Rechtsetzungspraxis entwickelt wurde, können die Organe der Union verbindliche Festlegungen treffen, ohne den Mitgliedstaaten oder den Bürgern rechtliche Verpflichtungen aufzuerlegen.

Der Band präsentiert systematisch die theoretischen und dogmatischen Grundzüge des europäischen Verfassungsrechts, klärt den Stand der Forschung, verdeutlicht methodische Zugänge und bezeichnet Forschungsdesiderata. Die vollständig aktualisierte und erweiterte zweite Auflage reflektiert die rapide Weiterentwicklung des Gegenstands bis zum Reformvertrag von Lissabon. Sie umfasst nunmehr auch Beiträge zu den Verfassungsorganen, zur auswärtigen Gewalt, zum Rechtsschutz, zur Arbeitsverfassung sowie zum Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts. Das Buch wendet sich an alle, die ein systematisches und methodisch angeleitetes Verständnis des europäischen Verfassungsrechts suchen, insbesondere an Studierende im Wahlfach Europarecht, an Wissenschaftler und an wissenschaftlich interessierte Praktiker.
