The State of European Integration provides scholars, practitioners, experts and students with a comprehensive account of the state of the European Union today. With contributions from leading scholars including Richard G.

Die Arbeit setzt sich mit den bestehenden Normen des Funktionsrechts kritisch auseinander und untersucht, welche Reformen aus rechtspolitischer Sicht für die Zukunft angestrebt werden müssen.
