Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies. Volume 14, 2011-2012

The Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies provides a forum for the scrutiny of significant issues in: EU law, the law of the European Convention on Human Rights, comparative law with a European dimension, and particularly those issues which have come to the fore during the year preceding publication. The contributions appearing in the collection are commissioned by the Center for European Legal Studies (CELS) Cambridge, a research center in the Law Faculty of the University of Cambridge specializing in European legal issues. The papers presented are at the cutting edge of the fields which they address and reflect the views of recognized experts drawn from the university world, from legal practice, and from the institutions of both the EU and its Member States. Inclusion of the comparative dimension brings a fresh perspective to the study of European law, while highlighting the effects of globalization of the law more generally and the resulting cross fertilization of norms and ideas that have occurred among previously sovereign and separate legal orders. The book will be an invaluable resource for those wishing to keep pace with legal developments in the fast moving world of European integration. (Series: Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies )
