This volume analyses, for the first time in European studies, the
impact that non-legally binding material (otherwise known as soft
law) has on national courts and administration. The study is
founded on empirical work undertaken by the European Network of
Soft Law Research (SoLaR), across ten EU Member States, in
competition policy, financial regulation, environmental protection
and social policy. The book demonstrates that soft law is taken
into consideration at the national level and it clarifies the
extent to which soft law can have legal and practical effects for
individuals and national authorities. The national case studies
highlight the points of convergence or divergence in the way in
which judges and administrators approach soft law, while reflecting
on the reasons for and consequences of various national practices.
A series of horizontal studies connect this research to the rich
literature on new modes of governance, by revisiting traditional
theories on soft law, and by reflecting on the potential of such
instruments to undermine or to foster rule of law values.
