Description

This module provides an account of the central role of the rule of law in the operation of the p/European Union. It shows students how judicial enforcement of EU law was central to the integration process (most notably through the seminal literature on integration through law) then assesses the challenges to ensuring the protection of the rule of law in the contemporary EU. It will assess the political means to ensure the rule of law (Article 7 proceedings, conditionality in EU spending) and judicial methods (withdrawal of mutual recognition, Court of Justice cases on judicial independence. It will also get students to reflect more widely on what the current issues around the rule of law tell us about the future of the European Union and the failure of the ‘end of history’ world view predominant in the 1990s./p
