This open access book looks into the evolution and current state of
the rule of law in the European Union (EU). The thirtieth
anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is chosen as a natural
moment of stocktaking; assessing the progress made since the
beginning of the democratic reforms in Central and Eastern Europe
(CEE), but also critically analysing recent tendencies of rule of
law backsliding and open revolt against liberal-democratic values
in individual EU Member States. The volume is partly retrospective
in that it reflects on the challenges of the post-communist
transition and the process of Eastward Enlargement of the Union.
Yet it is also prospective, in so far as it reviews the variety of
novel mechanisms for strengthening rule of law enforcement in the
EU and gauges their potential for bringing sustainable, positive
change in this regard. All chapters are written by experienced
scholars and practitioners in the field of EU law and policy. The
ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC
BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was
funded by the Swedish Studies Network.
