Description

This edited collection examines decision-making in the EU and its constitutional structure through the lens of the separation of powers. This focus reveals how a strong executive represents a single source of public power, which is not as sufficiently counterbalanced. It explores three fields: economic and monetary union, migration, and trade. Drawing on expertise from across those sectors, with a strong conceptual thread linking all the contributions, this important work illustrates how different branches of government co-determine each others powers.
