This Critical Concepts series (a Routledge Major Work) is an
anthology of influential works on international law. The collection
covers the principal facets of both classical and contemporary
international law. In making their selection, J.H.H. Weiler and
Alan T. Nissel consulted with a wide range of experts and chose
those pieces that in their view both shaped the field and have
illuminated its contours. These articles have, or are expected to
have, considerable "staying power." By juxtaposing classical with
more contemporary articles, this anthology illustrates the motion
of international law-the evolution of doctrine, practice and
historiography of the field. The series begins with a consideration
of the fundamental systemic (Volume I) and conceptual (Volumes II
and III ) features of International Law. It then maps out
substantive aspects (Volumes IV and V). The collection concludes
(Volume VI) with what the authors call "multi-inter-disciplinary"
approaches to the field.
The legal scholarship of the National Socialist and Fascist period
of the 20th century and its subsequent reverberation throughout
European law and legal tradition has recently become the focus of
intense scholarly discussion. This volume presents
theoretical,historical and legal inquiries into the legacy of
National Socialism and Fascism written by a group of the leading
scholars in this field. Their essays are wide-ranging, covering the
reception of National Socialist and Fascist ideologies into legal
scholarship; contemporary perceptions of Nazi Law in the
Anglo-American world; parallels and differences among authoritarian
regimes in the Third Reich, Austria, Italy, Spain, and
Vichy-France; how formerly authoritarian countries have dealt with
their legal antecedents; continuities and discontinuities in legal
thought in private law, public law, labour law, international and
European law; and the legal profession's endogenous obedience and
the pains of Vergangenheitsbewaltigung. The majority of the
contributions were first presented at a conference at the EUI in
the autumn of 2000, the others in subsequent series of seminars.
The essays comprising this volume are the outcome of a major and
unique project which looks in detail at the application of EC law
by national courts and the interaction of the demands of EC law
with the constraints imposed by national legal orders and,
especially, national constitutional orders. The volume comprises
seven country studies which are shaped around a common research
protocol. These are supplemented by three cross-cutting studies
which draw on the country studies as well as on broader contextual
research work aimed at trying to understand the role of the
European Court of Justice in the round. The results of this
multi-national research are certain to provoke widespread interest
among scholars of European law, international law and European
politics, for they offer the first systematic and rigorous attempt
to assess the impact of the ECJ among the leading member states of
the European Union.
