This study explores the present EU foundational dilemma, looking at the problematic relationship between the ideal model of integration and the reality of the 21st century.  Including contributions from leading theorists, this volume explores the ways and extent to which the present European crisis could create a politico-legal space for new possibilities and opportunities for action. The authors discuss the current role of the EU, and whether it aspires to be a democratic polity or a functional organization based on inter-governmental bargaining.  The chapters question whether the future of European integration after the crisis will be paved by decisions which conflict with its Treaty basis, and how it might come up with alternatives which would do more than echo the compulsions of the global market.  Issues are analysed from a historical perspective to see what can be learnt from its past and to explore the options for the future.  With contributions from prominent international legal and political scholars, the book will be of interest to academics, students and policy-makers working in these areas.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50379230052625,"sku":"CIN1138636924G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138636924.jpg?v=1751334318"},{"product_id":"polity-and-crisis-book-massimo-fichera-9781472412911","title":"Polity and Crisis","description":"European integration is an open-ended, ongoing process which has been deeply challenged by integral world capitalism.

In the first part of the book, security is considered from a theoretical angle, as a phenomenon that has become an integral part of modern society and inevitably interacts with law in many ways. The analysis emphasizes the ambiguity of the notion of security and its tendency to expand and affect simultaneously different fields of law. Depending on the adopted approach, security can be understood in many different terms and through various concepts: inter alia through exceptionality, from a constructivist viewpoint, or as human security. Whereas, for example, an 'existential' approach takes risk and danger as a fact of life and is based on the assumption of the fragility of the human condition, leading to traditional and military understandings of security, a constructivist approach regards security as a discursive speech act enabling criticism of security claims. Analyzing security in connection with law highlights both tensions and contradictions. From classical analysis on states of emergency to new conceptualizations of security as a specific dimension within the process of European integration ('the European Security Constitution'), legal approaches to security and law today are facing many paradoxes and challenges. The second part of the book considers some of these security dilemmas in two specific areas of law: human rights and criminal law. Here, the book addresses the militarization of the fight against terrorism, the distinction between administrative and penal sanctions, the limits of intelligence activities, and the scope of criminalization. Bringing together scholars from different fields of law, focusing on security from particular perspectives, the book will appeal to constitutional, criminal, international, and EU lawyers who are interested in both theoretical and practical aspects of the relationship between security and law.

It conceptualizes and contextualizes the lack of clear vision in the building up of the area of freedom, security, and justice from an EU constitutional law, as well as a comparative and international criminal law standpoint. The EAW is considered both as a test for all the other measures which have been adopted or will be adopted as part of the mutual recognition agenda, and as an evolution of classic extradition. On the one hand, its significance is viewed from the perspective of both EU law and international law, by highlighting the structural deficiencies of the former Third Pillar and the need to remedy them. On the other hand, its impact is verified not only in the context of European cooperation in criminal matters, but also in light of the more general question of the identity of the EU as a polity, as well as the nature and implications of EU integration after the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. In particular, the book revolves around four main issues: 1) the need to substantially re-define the concept of mutual recognition; 2) the extent to which the new mechanism of the EAW effectively operates within a non-harmonized landscape; 3) the exact nature and scope of mutual trust, as a notion that underpins the principle of mutual recognition in European criminal law; and 4) the tension between the need to enhance the law enforcement aspects of EU cooperation and the urge to build up a common framework of procedural rights. An overview of the implementation of the EAW in the UK and Italy, as examples of a common law and a civil law jurisdiction, is also offered.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52670736236817,"sku":"NLS9789400001725","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789400001725.jpg?v=1762290570"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-massimo-fichera.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
