Ebook: Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies. Volume 11, 2008-2009

The Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies provides a forum for the scrutiny of significant issues in EU law, the law of the Council of Europe, and comparative law with a 'European' dimension — particularly those issues which have come to the fore during the year preceding publication. The contributions are commissioned by the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) Cambridge, a research institute in the law faculty of the University of Cambridge, specializing in European legal issues. The papers presented are all at the cutting edge of the fields which they address, and reflect the views of recognized experts drawn from the university world, legal practice, and the civil services of both the EU and its Member States. Inclusion of the comparative dimension brings a fresh perspective to the study of European law. The book highlights the effects of globalization of the law and also points to the resulting cross fertilization of norms and ideas that have occurred among previously sovereign and separate legal orders. The Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies is an invaluable resource for those wishing to keep pace with legal developments in the fast moving world of European integration.
