  2. National Constitutional Identity and European Integration

    National Constitutional Identity and European Integration

    Book | 1st edition 2013 | Europe | Alejandro Saiz Arnaiz, Carina Alcoberro Llivina
    ‘National constitutional identity’ has become the new ‘buzz word’ in European constitutionalism over the past few years. Much has been written about the concept. This collection brings together a series of contributions from the perspective of both scholars and judges in order to shed some light over the dark corners of constitutional identity. To this end a threefold approach has been followed: a conceptual or philosophical approach, an approach based on EU law, and an analysis of the case-law of several European courts.

    Opportunities and Shortcomings
    Book | 1st edition 2013 | Europe | Bram Delvaux
    The energy and climate change challenge is one of the greatest tests which the EU and its Member States are facing. The need to deliver the triple objectives of the EU’s energy policy, namely a competitive, secure and sustainable energy supply, is stronger than ever. This book analyses whether the current EU regulatory framework for energy law and policy suffices to address the triple objectives of the EU’s energy policy, or by contrast, whether changes to that framework are needed.

  7. The Human Right to Equal Access to Health Care

    The Human Right to Equal Access to Health Care

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | United Kingdom | Maite San Giorgi
    The right to equal access to health care is a fundamental principle that is part of the human right to health care. For victims of a violation of the human right to equal access to health care it is important that a judicial or quasi-judicial human rights body can adjudicate their complaints in this regard. This book analyses the justiciability of the human right to equal access to health care. It examines how cases concerning unequal access to health care would be dealt with by judicial and quasi-judicial human rights bodies and distils the elements that can be expected to play a role in the assessment of such cases.

    The European Court of Justice and the Autonomy of the Member States

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz, Bruno de Witte
    Recently the ECJ has been criticized by leading politicians, national judges and legal academics for unduly extending the scope of EU law and overstepping its own jurisdiction, to the detriment of the reserved competences or (more broadly) the political autonomy of the member states. This volume seeks to address this question from a scholarly perspective, by collecting and confronting the views of leading specialists of EU law examining the ECJ’s recent role.

  10. Law and Economics in the RIA World

    Law and Economics in the RIA World

    Improving the use of economic analysis in public policy and legislation
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Andrea Renda
    The use of economics in public policy, in the form of ex ante Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA), is strongly advocated by international organizations such as the OECD and the World Bank. In the US and the EU, hundreds of RIAs are produced every year to justify public intervention in the form of regulation. But reality shows that in many other countries the adoption and implementation of this tool has been patchy at best.

  11. Constitutional Constraints on Ad Hoc Legislation

    Constitutional Constraints on Ad Hoc Legislation

    A Comparative Study of the United States, Germany and the Netherlands
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | United Kingdom | Anna Jasiak
    Legislatures sometimes adopt laws that create a special legal regime for a particular case rather than general rules for an indefinite number of situations or persons. These ad hoc laws are controversial. The purpose of this first in-depth comparative study in the fields of constitutional law and legislative studies is to clarify the use and existence of ad hoc laws and to place them within a constitutional framework of the rule of law. It is a comparative study of the United States, Germany and the Netherlands.

  12. The European Composite Administration

    The European Composite Administration

    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Oswald Jansen, Bettina Schöndorf-Haubold

    This volume focuses on the concept of European Composite Administration (Europäischer Verwaltungsverbund). As Eberhard Schmidt-Aßmann explains in his contribution Verbund expresses a systematic notion which creates the necessary entity through interlinking with each other the two organisational principles – the principle of cooperation and the principle of hierarchy. This concept of Verbund also implies the notions of sovereignty, respect and the ability to undertake joint administrative action in the European Union. This German concept “Europäischer Verwaltungsverbund” is translated as European Composite Administration.
