Reviews

...the contents of those chapters whose subject-matter and author(s) have remained from the first edition have undergone substantial change. All pieces are very readable, up to date and copiously referenced. Stefan Enchelmaier, European Law Review This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of EU law over the past decade, in order to give the reader a clearer understanding of the broader picture of EU legal development. Jane Ferrier, The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland Review from previous edition This is a serious, comprehensive exploration of the understanding of EU law as it has developed. Edward Kirke, Liverpool John Moores University This volume, like many books of its kind, poses more questions than it has answers for, but the answers it suggests are crucial, seminal and riveting to anyone interested in why a nation or a corporate body has a constitution. ... the editors have done a masterly job in weaving together crucial research and opinion on such issues as comitology, delegated agencies, tertiary structures in general and the enumeration and control of them. The heavy intellectualism of this book should not obscure the luminosity of its arguments, which, after all, remain easy to understand. Michael L Nash, Contemporary Review, December 1999 Page 322 ...an excellent collection of strong and thought-provoking contributions...an extremely accessible account of the story of EU law. T.K. Hervey, University of Nottingham, European Public Law
