Edited by Jörn Axel Kämmerer, Professor of Public Law, EU Law and Public International Law, Bucerius Law School, Hamburg, Hans-Bernd Schäfer, Affiliate Professor, Bucerius Law School Hamburg, and Professor (em.) of Law and Economics, University of Hamburg, former Director, Institute of Law and Economics, Germany and Kaushik Basu, Professor of Economics and Carl Marks Professor of International Studies, Cornell University, Department of Economics and SC Johnson College of Business, Ithaca, New York, and former Chief Economist of the World Bank, Washington, D.C., US<i>‘The elections for the European Parliament in June 2024 and the cacophony in the media that followed might incline one to scepticism about the European project. That would be a mistake, as this elegant book explains.</i>
On reflection, the European Union is a unique success story. The book explains in detail why. Can it stand as a model for similar unions elsewhere? Perhaps not directly, since the barriers to integration between different nations in Asia, in Africa, in Latin America are different from those present in Europe after the Second World War. But the Union’s history, its structure, its failings and their correction, its successes, the ideals that inspired it and continue to do so deserve to be well known by those contemplating unions elsewhere. May this book succeed in its noble mission of disseminating that knowledge.’
