Summary
In recent years, Eurosceptic and nationalist forces have been gaining
ground in the European Union. Their rhetoric has changed the political
discourse, shaking the ideal of an ever closer union to its core.
However, the specific legal changes brought about by this political turn
have often remained obscure. How does Euroscepticism manifest itself in
the law and policies of the EU Member States?
This book seeks to
understand to what extent Eurosceptic attitudes translate into
legislative, administrative and judicial practices that challenge EU law
and governance in the Member States. It reveals the many facets of
national resistance that the EU is currently facing, ranging from open
defiance to ignorance of EU law. It includes perspectives from the
entire Union: from old and new, western and eastern, troublesome and
(ostensibly) compliant Member States.
Bringing together experts
from law and political science, this timely book offers unique insights
into the reception – and sometimes rejection – of EU law in the Member
States. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the current
challenges and the future of the European Union.
