Description for Justice in the EU: The Emergence of Transnational Solidarity (Oxford Studies in European Law)
Hardcover. The claims of justice are universal, yet we need the structures of the nation state to implement its policies. This book argues that the EU is able to overcome this paradox. It suggests that EU law, and in particular the right to free movement, creates connections and solidarity between citizens to broaden our understanding of justice. Series: Oxford Studies in European Law. Num Pages: 256 pages. BIC Classification: 1QFE; JPSN2; LBBU; LND. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 298 x 164 x 24. Weight in Grams: 540.
