Tamara Perisin; Sinisa Rodin EU Law Study sku-165707743

The Transformation or Reconstitution of Europe is a hardcover International Law Books title by Tamara Perisin; Sinisa Rodin (SKU sku-165707743). It examines the view that EU law, as interpreted by the ECJ, has transformed Europe and changed established, often formalist approaches to law in Member States. The study uses an American critical legal studies (CLS) perspective.

Its introduction explains the editors' understanding of CLS and its relevance to Europe. Part II asks how judges' policy choices or ideologies appear in decisions and how to identify them. Part III considers the legitimacy of ECJ decisions, political ideology, European integration, and the selection of judges.

Part IV applies the critical perspective to EU rules on internal and external movement and the European arrest warrant, asking whether the ECJ's role has been transformative and whether any transformation can be reversed. Part V examines academics' role in shaping accounts of EU integration.
