Judicial Politics in Europe: An Impact AnalysisJudicial Politics in Europe traces relations between each of the Member State judiciaries of nine countries of the European Community with the European Court of Justice, centering on the legal issue of preliminary rulings. The purpose of this exploration is to describe in a political-economic context the changes in these relationships over the period from 1961 to 1981 and to explain the causes and conditions of compliance or defiance of Community norms within the national judiciaries. This book is the first attempt to consider the impact of judicial norms cross-culturally. |
