How has European Union developed since its origins in the
reconstruction of Europe in the wake of the Second World War, and
why has it developed in this fashion? The principal theme of this
book maintains that the EU is a site for the management of the
interdependence of the States that are its members. A whole host of
challenges - from climate change to security to migration to
economic reform - can be tackled more effectively through
multilateral action than by unilateral State action and the EU has
become the principal location for that action in common. In
essence, the States of the EU are stronger together than apart. In
order to achieve multilateral action and participation, the EU
requires its own legal order, comprising a range of legislative
competences, political and judicial institutions, and a carefully
shaped relationship with national law. In one sense, this legal
order represents control over State autonomy yet in another it
serves as means to ensure States, acting collectively, can meet the
aspirations of their citizens in an interdependent world. The EU,
as its power has increased, also needs to address questions of
democracy, accountability, respect for fundamental rights and for
national and local diversity. It should not be measured against the
same benchmarks of legitimacy as a State as it will always fail,
but it does need to achieve legitimacy. It needs, in short, values.
And its Treaties aspire to grant it values. Does its system of
governance, heavily implicated in the conferral of rights on
individuals enforceable against the EU and Member States, today in
areas far beyond the economy, live up to those aspirations? And can
it? That is the terrain mapped by this book.
