European legal integration is often justified with reference to the
inherent unity of European legal traditions that extend to ancient
Rome. This book explores the invention of this tradition, tracing
it to a group of legal scholars divided by the onslaught of Nazi
terror and totalitarianism in Europe. As exiles in Britain and the
US, its formulators worked to build bridges between the Continental
and the Atlantic legal traditions, incorporating ideas such as rule
of law, liberty and equality to the European heritage. Others
joined the Nazi revolution, which promoted its own idea of European
unity. At the end of World War Two, natural law and human rights
were incorporated into the European project. The resulting
narrative of Europe, one that outlined human rights, rule of law
and equality, became consequently a unifying factor during the Cold
War as the self-definition against the challenge of communism.
