This open access book takes the current state of the Union
seriously. The European Union is at a crossroads. Slowly recovering
from a series of financial and economic crises, with trust
fundamentally shaken by processes of disaggregation and
increasingly nationalist politics, it is searching for new visions
that are at once inspiring and workable. In its White Paper of 1
March 2017, the Commission proposed five non-exclusive options for
the Future of Europe. As put by the Commission, the five scenarios
are illustrative in nature to provoke thinking. They are not
detailed blueprints or policy prescriptions. Likewise, they
deliberately make no mention of legal or institutional processes -
the form will follow the function. This book aims to debate not
only the political vision of Europe, but also the issue of legal
integration beyond Brexit. Apart from addressing the institutional
challenges for the EU, the contributions to this volume focus on
two key areas: rule of law and security. Rule of law and security
are not only paradigmatic for the future of Europe but are also
closely connected to a particular vision of Europe based on
'integration through law'; a vision that has been strongly
contested in recent years. The overarching question is: how can
sustainable political and legal integration be achieved in Europe?
The volume builds on a conference organised by the Swedish Network
for European Legal Studies in November 2017 and includes chapters
by leading scholars in the field from the Nordic countries and
wider Europe. 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.
