Bernard Stirn's book provides an easy to read and authoritative introduction to the common principles of public law which have been developing across Europe in the last 60 years. It shows how the shared experience of belonging to the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Union have contributed to establishing principles of liberal democracy and modern, accountable government in national legal orders in Europe. This book is highly recommended as a starting point for understanding public law in Europe today. John Bell QC (Hon.), FBA (University of Cambridge) Bernard Stirn provides a tour de force examination of the development of Europe by its laws and institutions. Part legal history, part legal practitioner's reference material, Stirn's words are beautifully translated by international public law expert Dr. Eirik Bjorge. This little book is a fascinating and accessible read, making it an asset for public lawyers, politicians and all those with an interest in Europe's place in modern geopolitics Kirsty Brimelow QC, Chairwoman of the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales, Barrister at Doughty Street Chambers This is an important book concerning European Public Law broadly conceived, which brings together developments at national and European level. It should be read by all those interested in the subject. The author is very widely respected and the translation is excellent Paul Craig, Professor of English Law, University of Oxford

The most evident quality of the book is its pedagogical aspect ... It is obviously a remarkable tool for entering into the exploration of its object. On every strategic issue, it provides the essential concrete references - case law ones especially - in European law (EU and ECHR) and in the most visible domestic systems. * Jean-Bernard Auby, Common Market Law Review *
