The Impact of War (in Ukraine) on the EU [Hardcover]

This timely book astutely charts the transformative effect of the war in Ukraine on the EU, from both a legaland policy perspective.

The EU, itself a unique peace project born out of two world wars, consistently evolves from one security crisis to the next. Departing from the usual broad sweep of deepening and widening, this book focuses on the constitutional and substantive impact on the EU of the recent war in Ukraine. More so than ever before, this particular war proves to be a truly pivotal moment for the EU.

Drawing on expert contributions from both academia and the EU institutions, this book offers a masterful exploration of how the EU is being challenged to the core.

A compelling examination of how the EU's response to the Ukraine war has had a transformative effect on the Union's constitutional, institutional and substantive law.

The important contribution of this book to the literature is to systematise for legal scholars the transformations of the EU legal system. What this volume offers, finally, is a record of Europe's legal imagination under pressure-its 'habit' of turning crisis into constitution. European Law Review
