Contemporary challenges to EU legality

This volume explores contemporary challenges to EU legality, including actions or activities that cast doubt on, or sit uncomfortably with, the premises, principles, and norms that underpin the EU’s legal order as proclaimed by the Treaties and the authoritative judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). These premises, principles, and norms range from the precisely formulated to the noticeably vague. The book develops a broader theoretical perspective as well as delving into a range of substantive areas including the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), the EU’s relationship with international law, migration, human rights, the sovereign debt crisis, and Brexit.
