Sustaining the Rule of Law

The Future of Judicial Independence in Europe
This timely book examines European and national standards and institutions for sustaining judicial independence and upholding the foundational value of the rule of law. It highlights the nuanced and essential role of independent courts in fostering the shared values of the EU against a background of democratic backsliding.

Contributors present topical insights into how judicial independence has come under pressure in recent years, in the context of backlash against international courts, the (in)effectiveness of human rights, populism and the retreat of multilateralism. But they not only just document systemic judicial capture and scattered violations of judicial independence, but they also explore effective strategies to sustain and restore the independence of courts. Authors adopt a multidisciplinary approach drawing on legal philosophy as well as sociological, empirical, and political science. They fill a gap in the existing literature by focusing on judicial independence rather than broader concerns about the rule of law.

Sustaining the Rule of Law: The Future of Judicial Independence in Europe is an essential resource for scholars and students of constitutional and administrative law, European law, politics, and public policy. It will also be a useful guide for legal practitioners, lawyers who specialize in EU law, and policymakers.
