About this book

This book provides a broad-ranging assessment of the Court's contribution to the integration process. It shows how the Court has taken advantage of opportunities when they have arisen in the European political process to 'constitutionalize' the founding treaties and to exert a strong influence on policy decisions. It also examines why the Court's active role has not encountered greater opposition and analyses the implications for the Court of current issues, and challenges confronting the European Union.
