This has usually  been done on the tacit or explicit assumption that legal systems and  states are co-terminous. But since the Rome Treaty there has grown up  in Europe a `new legal order', neither national law nor international  law, and under its sway older conceptions of state sovereignty have  been rendered obsolete. \u003cbr\u003e  At the same time, it has been doubted whether the `European Union'  that has grown out of the original `European Communities' has a  satisfactory constitution or any constitution at all. What kind of  legal and political entity is this `Union' and how does it relate  juridically and politically to its member states? Further, the  activity of construing or constructing `legal system' and legal  knowledge becomes visibly problematic in this context. These essays  wrestle with the above problems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792347316\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1152-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 148\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312284061836,"sku":"9780792347316","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792347316.jpg?v=1771523383","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792347316","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
