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.€97.00 incl. VAT -

Opportunities and ShortcomingsBook | 1st edition 2013 | Europe | Bram DelvauxThe 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.

The Constitutional Relevance of the ECHR in Domestic and European Law
An Italian PerspectiveBook | 1st edition 2013 | United Kingdom | Giorgio RepettoIn recent years the European Convention on Human Rights gained unexpected relevance in the European constitutional culture. On the one hand its increasing importance is closely linked to institutional reforms that strengthened the European Court of Human Rights’ reputation vis-à-vis the Member States. On the other hand, and even more importantly, the ECHR’s significance arises from a changing perception of its constitutional potential. This volume examines the different facets of the ECHR’s constitutional relevance by separating the ECHR’s role as a ‘factor of Europeanisation’ for national constitutional systems from its role as a veritable European transnational constitution in the field of human rights.€73.00 incl.

Improving the use of economic analysis in public policy and legislationBook | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Andrea RendaThe 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.

Constitutional Constraints on Ad Hoc Legislation
A Comparative Study of the United States, Germany and the NetherlandsBook | 1st edition 2011 | United Kingdom | Anna JasiakLegislatures 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.

It is a comparative study of the United States, Germany and the Netherlands.€86.00 incl. VAT -

The European Composite Administration
Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Oswald Jansen, Bettina Schöndorf-HauboldThis 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.
