The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has played a vital role in
promoting the process of European integration. In recent years,
however, the expansion of EU law has led it to impact ever more
politically sensitive issues, and controversial ECJ judgments have
elicited unprecedented levels of criticism. Can we expect the Court
to sustain its role as a motor of deeper integration without Member
States or other countervailing forces intervening? To answer this
question, we need to revisit established explanations of the
Court's power to see if they remain viable in the Court's
contemporary environment. We also need to better understand the
ultimate limits of the Court's power - the means through which and
extent to which national governments, national courts, litigants
and the Court's other interlocutors attempt to influence the Court
and to limit the impact of its rulings. In this book, leading
scholars of European law and politics investigate how the ECJ has
continued to support deeper integration and whether the EU is
experiencing an increase in countervailing forces that may diminish
the Court's ability or willingness to act as a motor of
integration. This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of European Public Policy.
