The Role of the European Court of Justice in the European Integration Process and the Sustainability of the European Multilevel Legal Order
摘要
In Europe and in the European Union, unlike in East Asia, law is an essential element in the integration process to the point that without its autonomic system of law, the EU would only be a collection of nation-states working together. How did EU law get this important status? What is the sustainability of integration via the internal market and law in this multilevel construction with now 27 member states? What bottom-up and top-down activities are relevant in this respect?
