Europe’s Foundation and its Future: The EU Charter in Focus
The fundamental rights in the EU have undergone a remarkable journey, evolving from soft, abstract legal principles into a legally binding EU Charter with transformative force, shaping EU law. This edited volume reflects this journey and addresses the most contemporary challenges of the EU Charter in fully realizing the potential of fundamental rights in the Union.
As with all our Verfassungsbooks, the digital edition is Open Access. A print copy can be ordered at your local bookstore or from major online retailers, with worldwide delivery available.
“This volume presents short and incisive reflections on the current state of the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights. A mix of experienced and young scholars of EU law engage with the current role of the Charter and with how its application could be further improved within the context of the broader European fundamental rights landscape.”
Bruno De Witte, Maastricht University
“Amid the unprecedented collapse of political liberalism, this volume offers more than just profound food for thought – it illuminates a path toward revitalizing our shared fundamental values.”
