Lawyering Europe: European Law as a Transnational Social Field: Modern Studies in European Law

Editat de Antoine Vauchez, Bruno de Witte
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mar 2013
While scholarly writing has dealt with the role of law in the process of European integration, so far it has shed little light on the lawyers and communities of lawyers involved in that process. Law has been one of the most thoroughly investigated aspects of the European integration process, and EU law has become a well-established academic discipline, with the emergence more recently of an impressive body of legal and political science literature on 'European law in context'. Yet this field has been dominated by an essentially judicial narrative, focused on the role of the European courts, underestimating in the process the multifaceted roles lawyers and law play in the EU polity, notably the roles they play beyond the litigation arena. This volume seeks to promote a deeper understanding of European law as a social and political phenomenon, presenting a more complete view of the European legal field by looking beyond the courts, and at the same time broadening the scholarly horizon by exploring the ways in which European law is actually made. To do this it describes the roles of the great variety of actors who stand behind legal norms and decisions, bringing together perspectives from various disciplines (law, political science, political sociology and history), to offer a global multi-disciplinary reassessment of the role of 'law' and 'lawyers' in the European integration process.

Recenzii

Vauchez and de Witte have assembled a volume which provides many excellent and diverse perspectives on law, the legal profession, and actors across the legal field and their contribution to the process of European integration....any student of European Law, a lawyer or political scientist searching for a different perspective on the process of European Integration, this volume will provide many answers, and likely inspire many new avenues of exploration.
Unlike many edited collections, there is a clear empirical and theoretical unity so that the chapters stand as contributions to the thesis rather than the volume being an aggregation of essays. They are uniformly interesting and well-written, even where the authors are clearly not working in their first language. Either the editors have been very lucky in their contributors or they have been very diligent in improving the writing. ...it is a coherent and stimulating collection [and as] with all best work, any reader will both learn a good deal from it and be stimulated to think where the project might go next.
The book is written in clear, highly structured language and is based on a solid methodological approach...Lawyering Europe deserves to be deeply recommended to anyone who wants to seriously keep up with this field.
