<i>‘This brilliant work provides new tools for understanding the dynamics of the EU legal system. Leaving aside the conventional understanding of the subjects of the European legal order, Bardutzky and Fahey use the “subjects and objects” dichotomy as a framework to analyse the evolution of EU law. The result is a fresh and original insight into the transformative processes of EU law and the hidden legitimacy gaps of a legal system in need of social legitimacy. A timely contribution and an essential tool for anyone interested in understanding the evolution of EU law in a critical moment of the integration project.’</i>

- Edoardo Chiti, University of La Tuscia, Italy,

<i>‘The editors of this book have brought together excellent contributions to understand the subjects and objects of contemporary EU law. This outstanding book covers a broad range of key issues. It offers readers original insights to explore the subjects and objects of EU law, including matters such as Brexit, the current crisis of the European integration and the role of third countries in EU law. This book provides exciting reading not only for lawyers but also for any person interested in EU matters.’</i>

- Juan Santos Vara, University of Salamanca, Spain,

<i>‘This book is based on a wise chemistry between well-known and emerging scholars and offers quite a unique combination of voices on a very complex issue. It is definitely mandatory reading for constitutional and EU law scholars interested in the subject.’</i>

- Giuseppe Martinico, Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, Italy,

<i>‘The book constitutes a very good point of departure for EU lawyers and social scientists to reflect on possible ways to reframe classical and more topical issues of EU integration. Addressing a broad array of matters from the EU’s posture and actions in the wider world to the role of local governments in the EU legal framework and from citizenship law to non-State entity sanctions, it delineates a path to use the subjects-objects relations as a fertile ground for studying EU’s challenges and transformations.’</i>

- Alessandro Petti, Common Market Law Review,

This timely book invites the reader to explore the lexicon of 'subjects' and 'objects' of EU law as a platform from which several dilemmas and omissions of EU law can be researched. It includes a number of case studies from different fields of law that deploy this lexicon, structuring the contributions around three principal elements of EU law: its transformations, crises and external-internal dynamics.

The carefully structured case studies cover a wide range of areas in EU law, such as constitutional law, administrative law, external relations, trade and citizenship and present perspectives from a variety of EU Member States. The expert contributors explore how to discuss, analyze and frame core elements of a supranational legal order. This broad-ranging and collaborative research effort presents a fresh, critical perspective on contemporary EU law. The book offers a reflection on recent crises of the EU, such as Brexit, looking beyond the field of law to present solutions that apply theories of political economy, social theory and political theory.

This thought-provoking narrative of EU law will be of interest to scholars in this field as well as to those in public international law, international relations, sociology, governance and political science.
