Synopsis

This insightful and discerning book offers a fresh discourse on the functioning of national courts as decentralised EU courts and a new thematic for revising some older understandings of how national judges apply EU law. Organised into three key sections, the interdisciplinary chapters combine approaches and theories originating from law, political science, sociology and economics. The first section addresses issues relating to judicial dialogue and EU legal mandates, the second looks at the topic of EU law in national courts and the third considers national courts' roles in protecting fundamental rights in the area of freedom, security and justice. The analysis of each is enriched through diverse research methods such as case-law analysis, citation network analysis, interviews, surveys and statistics.With its new legal and empirical assessment covering the newest member states of the EU, National Courts and EU Law will hold strong appeal for scholars and students in the fields of EU law, social sciences and humanities. It will also be of use to legal practitioners interested in the issue of judicial application of EU law.

About this title

Review:

'This new volume offers a fresh perspective on the vital role played by national courts in the implementation of EU law. Wide-ranging and multi-disciplinary in character, it sheds new light on the relationship between national courts and the ECJ and the reception of EU law by national courts. The volume will be welcomed by anyone concerned with the functioning of the EU's legal order.' --- Anthony Arnull, University of Birmingham, UK
