The European Union: A Polity of States and Peoples de Walter van Gerven

The European Union: A Polity of States and Peoples

Autor Walter van Gerven
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mar 2005
This book explains to a general audience what the European Union is about and how it has grown since 1952 into a polity of 25 States and a population of more than 450 million people. It explains the constitution-making process that is currently taking place in the European Union, and the significance of the draft constitution which has been submitted for ratification by the 25 member states. The book is written from a legal perspective, but contains many references to political science and recent American and European history. It aims to show how the distinctive features of a democratic polity that characterize the Member States can be gradually transplanted to the European Union. To make the book useful to a more specialized set of readers, such as students of law and politics, it contains a large number of notes that contain detailed information and point to additional reading on a variety of topics. The book draws on the author's exceptionally wide and profound knowledge of the institutions of the EU, its history, its laws and its varied cultures."This book, written by one of the greatest scholars of European law, provides a rare insight into the evolving European constitutionalism. Its analytical narrative explores themes of democracy, accountability, human rights and the rule of law and draws comparisons between the US and European political systems. The end result is an excellent essay on European governance"Professor Takis Tridimas, Queen Mary University of London

Recenzii

.van Gerven's book provides a thoughtful and largely original critique of the constitutional structures and futures of the European Union.The result is a book that should be of enduring relevance and interest to debates about constitutionalism in the European Union.there is a wealth of insight and understanding of normative and practical constitutionalism.The book provides a panoramic view of the issues it addresses and it also suggests meaningful answers to the questions it raises.
.writes in a clear style, free of the social-science jargon,.The book should be welcome particularly by comparatists interested not just in European Union law but in federalism and public law generally.
...a uniquely knowledgeable interdisciplinary account of European integration by someone whose brilliance as a European and Comparative Lawyer is too well known to need any rehearsal.the book.provides much material to engage with on many levels and the argumentation is always clear and succinct.
...this elegantly written book paints the big picture..and the narrative is unusually helpful in guiding the reader through the complexity, which should ensure the book's value and interest.
Both comprehensive and reliable!
...raises the right questions and directs readers towards interesting analysis...

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This book demonstrates the same lucidity and wisdom regarding the European Union that students of the European Court of Justice have come to expect from van Gerven's writings from the bench. Van Gerven raises and analyzes a series of important questions about democratic accountability and the rule of law in the EU, and about the meaning and the content of the proposed European Constitution.” —Mark Pollack, Temple University
"This book, written by one of the greatest scholars of European law, provides a rare insight into the evolving European constitutionalism. Its analytical narrative explores themes of democracy, accountability, human rights and the rule of law and draws comparisons between the U.S. and European political systems. The end result is an excellent essay on European governance." —Takis Tridimas,University of London
