EU Law: Text, Cases, and Materials

Product Information

The fourth period runs from the advent of the Lisbon Treaty to the present. It was hoped that after a decade of Treaty reform, in which institutional issues dominated the agenda, that the EU could give closer attention to substantive issues. This aspiration was qualified by reality. The EU was beset by a series of crises, which had implications for the powers of the respective EU institutions and the institutional balance between them. The financial crisis, Brexit, the rule of crisis, immigration, and the pandemic all tested the EU institutional machinery and wrought changes thereto.

It presumes by its very nature a normative and political judgment as to which institutions should be able to partake of legislative and executive power, and what constitutes the appropriate balance between them. These normative underpinnings have altered over time in the EU, and continue to do so. These changes will be charted throughout the subsequent analysis and form the underlying theme of the chapter, which is divided into four temporal periods.Contains new sections at the end of relevant chapters covering how the principles apply or don't apply to the UK post-Brexit.
