Description

What is the nature of EUs authority This fascinating book explores this question, and is much needed given its increased scrutiny in the face of growing nationalism. By setting out an original account of the preferred moral standard to evaluate such authority, ie Demoicratic authority, it illustrates how that standard affects the practical reasoning of those subjects to the EUs authority. Theoretically significant, the book also has important practical value as legitimacy challenges in the EU increase. Constitutional lawyers and theorists, as well as political scientists will welcome this innovative new work.
