Structural principles of EU law
Description
Marcus KLAMERT. Structural principles of EU law. London : Hart Publishing, 2025, xxiii, 249p.
This book provides an expert examination of the fundamental constitutional principles of EU law: proportionality, legal certainty, and fundamental rights. Much has been written on the these principles, but what of those systemic principles which underpin them? This book explores, among others, supremacy, direct effect, loyalty, solidarity, effectiveness, conferral, and subsidiarity. It also suggests a structural role for non-discrimination/equality in EU law, as opposed to its functions in the context of the fundamental freedoms and Union citizenship. And finally, it examines legal unity and the uniformity of EU law. This lends a much needed focus on the network of constitutional principles upholding the EU constitutional structure and is a welcome addition to the field.
