Edinburgh/Glasgow Law and Society 'Integration through Law' Revisited: The Making of the European Polity, (Hardcover)

This volume provides a valuable reference for scholars in the field of European integration studies and European legal and political theory. The contributors revisit one of the first academic projects to conceptualise and study European legal integration - the early 'Integration through Law' School. On this basis, they consider continuities and discontinuities in the underlying social and political landscape which the law is to integrate (the 'object' of integration), the forms and capacities of the law itself (the 'agent' of integration), and the way these two dimensions reflect on each other.
