Description
  1. xvi, 294 pages; 23 cm.
Summary
  1. "How can a jurisprudential approach help lawyers and legal philosophers to understand the sources, organization and main features of EC law? How does the European Court of Justice interpret EC law and justify its decisions, operating as a social-political agent? This new study examines these and other related issues, analysing EC law and the decision-making process of the European Court of Justice from a legal theoretical or jurisprudential perspective." "The justification of legal decisions is a crucial issue in legal and political theory, with courts achieving legitimation through their practice of justification. This study examines and assesses the justificatory practice of the European Court of Justice, and its jurisprudential approach contributes to an understanding of European integration."--Jacket.
